I did read this and it's fantastic stuff. Being so new I'm not sure where to find or alter the band, could you direct me? Thanks so much for this.

I'm having trouble with the drivers, as well. Everything else installed fine, but when I go through the Add New Hardware section and select the proper drivers, it says "An error occurred during the installation of the device. The data is invalid." I don't suppose there's an easy solution?
(V220 on Win2K)
Edit: Confirmed that the problem is not with the phone, drivers, or cable, as my roommate had no difficulty installing the drivers on his computer. I found an article on MS's page suggesting I replace driver.cab in safe mode, but no luck with that, either.

OK, here's a new twist. My wife's v180 has been having problems with static lately. She took it back to the shop the same day that she bought my v188. They told her that they would be sending a replacement in the mail, and for her to return the old phone when she got it.
It came the other day...when I turned it on, I noticed the start-up splash screen has changed, its now the same as my v188. So, I go to hook-up the new v180, and guess what??? The software no longer finds it, and it will never initialize...just like my v188.
Now, if no one can figure this puppy out, I'm hosed as far putting pics and sounds on either of our phones.

What do you think about following program
http://navigator.ru
SaMIS-navigator allows to define place of mobile device using user database. SaMIS-navigator is program for mobile devices which support java technology. It has history journal and can work as deamon. SaMIS-navigator works at text mode. SaMIS-navigator:
does not depend from provider (GSM, DUMPS, etc.). It can work with blocked SIM-card and user can construct and edit personal place database. All manipulations free of cash. SaMIS-navigator is tested by Motorola mobile devices at present time.
Thank you.

Hi, haven't been around for a few days been busy at work.
Not sure i can say much anyway.
xpl0sive,
Does the computer not even list the port that the phone is plugged in to at time?
Have you checked your device manager to check that the phone is at least listed?
Go to:
- Control Panel
- System
- Click on Hardware tab along top
- Device Manager
- Click on the small cross next to Modems
Check that your phone is listed as a modem.
It should say something along the lines of Motorola (USB) Modem.
Mine says Motorola V. and Timeport Modem.
You should also check that it isn't the cable.
You can do this by,
1) If the phone/modem is listed in your 'Device Manager' then the cable is obviously working.
2) You will hear a sound from the speakers when you plug in or unplug the cable. This proves that the cable is connecting to the computer.
Also, did you download the other drivers i recommended? These may help.
P1800,
Not a clue what you are on about mate!
jounin,
Can you not let the computer detect the drivers for itself?
And are you so sure it is not a problem with anything else?
Test your cable and make sure that your drivers are unzipped/extracted into a seperate folder.
TKBrown,
I really haven't got a clue.
Have you made sure that the computer's settings will allow this kind of programme?
I know your firewall csn sometimes mess it up.
You could try downloading all the files again then turn off your firewall and install them. See if it makes any difference. It may not do, but who knows.
Hope some of this helps.
Happy reading!!
Gemma

I did let the computer try to detect them, and it does detect those drivers, but at the last step it just gives that error. They are properly unzipped, and I tried re-downloading them, as well as downloading from a different source - still no luck. /:
It definitely isn't the cable - like I said, it worked fine on my roommate's computer with that same cable/phone/driver file. I tried the cable in different USB ports as well, including one that I know for certain works properly with my digital camera.
I don't think the problem is with the drivers (since they work for my roommate and for almost everyone else in this thread); seems to be some other sort of issue with my computer. I've never gotten that error before, and the only match on the MS support page only lists a possible solution for recent XP installs (I tried the solution anyway, no luck). Worst case scenario, I guess I'll pester my roommate into installing the software and seize his computer when he's out.
(Thanks a lot for this thread and for your help, btw. Despite these problems, it's a lot easier to have a nice, centralized source of information rather than hunting between several different forums to figure out what I need.)

Gemma,
No firewall on this machine. It does see the modem in the hardware wizard, but when I query the modem it fails. I think they changed something on these new phones.

Hello all, I'm not sure if this will help, but I recently gave up on MPT. What I did discover tho is there is a site called zedge.com that will allow you to upload your own personal wallpapers and ringtones to their site where you can then download them to your phone. The service is free, and only requires a signup. First I will give you the addy then instructions.
The adress is: http://www.zedge.no/index.php
Then just sign up. After signing up go to the "Free Wallpapers" selection found in the list to the left of the page. Once there, scrool to the bottom and you will see a text field with the words "Personal wallpaper only for me" and an upload tab. If the wall is for you and you do not want to make it public then click the upload tab, and it will send you to the upload page. There you will see another dialogue pertaining to phone types, just scroll till you find your phone, or you can type in your phone's screen resolution.
Click the browse tab and locate the file you want to add to your phone. Once selected, click the upload tab and it will bring you to another page containing the recently selected wallpaper and a slightly off-center square inside of it. The square indicates the image area you wish to have shown on your phone. move it around til desired location is found, name it and click the upload tab.
Once all that is accomplished it will direct you to a final page stating your new wallpaper can now be downloaded to your phone thru their server. Fire up net access on your phone and go to "My Downloads" on zedge thru your PC, Type the adress into your phone and it will ask you for your login info. I'd put in the addy but it's specific to each person's account.
I know this seems like alot of work, but it's worth it, and to ppl who don't want net access on their phones, but want this feature, just remember sometimes it's just easier to bite the bullet and get the access (which is what I did)
I hope this will solve at least some of the probs.
PS. you can also make your uploads public.
For ringtones just do the same thing as for the wallpapers, but do it thru zedge's "upload shack"

Hey,
TKBrown and xpl0sive,
To check to see if the phone is working correctly as a modem, you need to go to your 'Device manager'.
Make sure that your phone is plugged in.
Click on the cross next to 'Modems'.
Then select the item that you think is your phone.
Mine is called Motorola USB Modem(not Motorola V. and Timeport Modem, which i said in an earlier post! My mistake.)
Right click on it and then select 'Properties' from the submenu.
It will bring a dialouge box up which has tabs along the top of it.
Click on 'Driver'then 'Driver Details'.
This will bring the 'Driver File Details' dialouge box.
This will show you the files that contain your drivers.
They should be called something like
C:\\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\Modem.sys
and the file version will be
5.1.2600.2158(xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803.2158)
Also, don't worry if you query the modem and it fails, because mine failed and my connection works great.
jounin,
Check your firewall isn't stopping it from connecting. Try re-installing while your firewall is disabled. Then switch it back on after.
Sometimes having SP2 causes problems too.
Apparently Motorola seem to think that MPT and SP2 are totally incompatible and WILL NOT work together on the same computer. Obviously, a lot of people have proved them wrong but there are still a few unlucky ones who just can't get past the first stages.
golaebob,
Are you sure you have you settings right and you have selected your phone from the list. If you have done this but it still doesn't work, try experimenting and choose other models to see if they will work. They should be round about the same, feature wise.
Multimedia may not be working because the phone chosen on the list does not have ths feature.
Anyway, that's about all i can answer.

However, everything is installed quite all right but now I got a message that says:
"This device is currently unabailable for the program.
Do you want to use it when available?"
Could you please tell me what to do now?

GEM20,
Thank you for the tutorial. i think i have successfully install the mpt, except that i don't have the "multimedia" option so that i can transfer mp3 from my computer to my cell phone. Instead of "multimedia," in its place is "e-mail". Do you know what went wrong?
Thank You!

Hello all, I wanted to add a quick link and a HUGE thank you to Gemm.
First off, I reinstalled all the files listed from the How to install MPT, after installing the usb drivers for the MotorolaV188 (here's the link to the page)
http://www.cellphonemall.net/wireless/store/accessorydetail.asp?i...
and now it works perfectly. Gem you were 100% correct, it was the usb drivers. The only prob I had was where to put the P2k drivers, BUT, upon closer inspection of the zip file, I looked at the path info.
Note: If you ever have a problem finding out where the files are suppose to be installed to, Look at the path info to the right of the files in the zip. If the person created the zip for self-install, then the path info will be present, and should tell you where to extract the files.
You should see something like:
Name |Type |Modified|Size |Ratio|Packed|Attributes|Path
P2k.inf Setup inf.. Date... 21,749 88% 2,714 A P2k\
This is an example of the first line in the zip. What you'll be looking for is the Path info. In this case the path is simply directing to P2k\ which means you would extract the files to C:\
When you click the extract tab it will automatically create a folder for the P2k drivers in C:\.
This means that's where the files were contained on the creator's PC and he included full path info when he\she created the zip. This is a form of a self-installing zip file.
I'm fairly sure most ppl know this but i figured i'd give abit of help to those who may not...lol.
I know I wasn't sure where to put them at first....hehehe.
PS. ALWAYS make sure to extract thru WinZIP itself instead of highlighting the files and dragging them. If you drag them the path info is null and the files will not be placed in the propper folders they need to be in. (made that mistake meself trying to be lazy...lol)
Take care all, Thanks again Gem, and I hope this helps someone. :)

xpl0sive,
It has got to be your drivers.
Did you check to see what drivers the 'un-known device' is using? Use the process i described in my last post but click on the cross next to the USB Controllers.
golaebob,
To be honest with you I'm not sure. Not something i have had had the need to find out about.
If you use the link in my signature, you can find out if your phone is compatible with MPT.
jounin,
Maybe that's your probem - SP4 , I mean.
Can you not ignore the error, or just CNTL+ALT+DEL past it?
If not, I think you maybe better using your mate's computer.
Sorry, don't know what else to suggest.
jackjack8,
Go to the 'Main Menu'
Then 'Setup'
Select 'General Setup'
OR press F6.
Click on the 'Communications' tab
Then click 'Change Modem', this will bring up a wizard. This gives you another chance to setup your modem/phone or make sure the settings are correct.
Then when the wizard is finished, click on the 'Exclusive Use' check box.
This should work.
cdivi,
Read NWD's thread - a couple above your's. It gives you a link to the proper USB drivers for the Motorola V188.
Neen123,
Are you sure you have to right drivers and that they are unzipped.
Everyone else,
Thanks for your posts

Hi thanks for replying,
I definatly have the p2k drivers for windows 98 and i have unziped them and cliked on the install. I dont know if you have to do anything with them after that? I read on one post that they only work if you put them in the right place is this true? and if so where should I save them to?
Thanks
