HOWTO: Access Motorola phones through USB on Hoary using Moto4Lin

[Fintan]

Okay i got everything working as well. Thankx all. Now for the stupid question: I am using a razr v3i it connects automaticaly and loads my files into the file manager.
But where is my phonebook, kalander and how do i sync it / them with lets say Kontact , evolution or thunderbird?
Oh yes am running kubuntu on edgy.

Thank you for the help
cheers

Has anyone gotten their V3m to work with Moto4Lin? I can't for the life of me get it to connect (but as mentioned in an earlier post, it does show up in the usb list when doing update in the settings menu). I see in the Moto4Lin wiki that it doesn't work <yet> nor does it's brother V3c ... I've gotten it to work with bitpim and kmobiletools but neither of those have all the features I'm looking for (uploading files, jpg & mp3 in particular).

Anyway, I've noticed that Windows machines (XP & Win2k) recognize it as a V3c so perhaps when Moto4Lin works with the V3c, it will recognize the V3m as well. I DON'T want to go down the Windows road and have only briefly experimented with plugging it in to see what Windows says it is ... So not sure how well it works there or not.

Thanks for listening!

I have a Verizon V3m and it is not recognized. For me, it will show up when you do the update in the settings screen for me, as well.

Try putting in a bogus number in the Settings --> Preferences --> AT Product ID like 1234. That worked for me to get it to try connect as P2K. But with my v3m, this is the output on the command line:

footer@kubuntu:~/Desktop/moto4lin-0.3$ ./moto4lin
Form1
PhoneMan
ScimInputContextPlugin()
New mode: 2
doActConnect
doActConnect
P2kProc::doConnect()
(E_openPhone: Unable to set configuration)

It doesn't matter if I start as root either:

sudo ./moto4lin

same results and NO JOY!!!

Did you try putting a bogus number in the AT Product ID field as I suggested in my previous post? That worked for me to get it to try connect as P2K ... and you're right, pushing the AT or P2K buttons doesn't seem to do anything.

But I still can't get my phone to connect regardless of what I try!

Worked for me with a V3m from Alltel, using your 1234 as the AT product ID.

I had to enter that while running moto4lin as a user, then exit and open it with sudo but it seems to connect just fine. thanks for all the help everybody

What version of U(K)ubuntu are you using? How did you install moto4lin (SVN, Deb packages, Ubuntu repositories, etc.)? Does any of that matter??? All I want for Christmas is my V3m to connect via moto4lin!

Thanks!

I followed everything and it works fine but there's nothing in KJava and I know I've got like, 4 games that came with my V3i on it.

I click KJava then Update List casue there's nothing there and this happens:
