Motorola V710
Can I transfer photos via Transflash?
I just got the V710 from Verizon - I am annoyed that they have disabled Bluetooth - it was one of the attributes I bought the phone for. I run on the latest Mac software - does anyone know if I can still transfer photos to my computer via the Transflah card - before I go out and buy one - or has this, too been restricted by my pals at Verizon.

I don't have a Mac, I have an HP running Windows XP. I transfer my photos with the transflash card all the time. You can get the TF card at Best Buy with the adapter for $34.99. You also have to purchase an SD cardreader. I bought a Sandisk for $19.99 and that particular one doesn't even need the adapter. You must put the TF card in the pnone and then you have to format it. Remember though DO NOT put the TF card in the phone or take it out while the phone is on. When you put the TF card in the phone you can go to the menu and switch storage device and you have the option for the TF card. When you transfer to the TF card you will see an option to format it. Once you do this the TF card is ready. If you decide to purchase these I can instruct ...

Thanks - how old is your phone - I've heard that Verizon might have updated the software or firmware so we can't do transfers either.

On my phone, I was able to put ring tones on my TF card, but then I forgot to format it. so I cleared the card and formatted it in the phone. but after I did that, I can't write to the card from my computer. it says "disk write protected" now I can't add anything to the card like mp3's. does anyone know how to get this protection off the card. or should I return it and get a new one??? thanks

You're SD adaptor's write protection is probably on. Look at the sides of the adaptor for a switch that you can slide up and down.

Thanks for the quick responce. you hit the nail on the head!!! everything works perfect now...thanks

It's under four weeks old. I have the newer second generation and the transfer works fine.

I boutht the trans flash card, installed it, and turned on the phone. I went to multimedia, camera and change storage device. it lists TRI-mmc as well as phone. I checked TRI-mmc, but I did not get the option to format the disk. When I tried to capture a picture the message was that the capture failed. Can you help? I have the transflash and adapter. I have an IPAQ, which I think I could use as a card reader.

to format a memory you have to go to, Phone Info-->Storage Devices then on the storage device screen hit the center menu button...then you have 2 options on for "rename" the other for "format" hit format....and thats it...all done in the phone...
...
I think it means you hit the wrong button 😁 ....you have to highlight tri-mmc then hit the menu button (center one at the top of the key pad) then hit format then Yes...

Why? I have yet to have a problem. This is a solid state memory device and once they are written to you can remove whenever you please. You can hot-swap all you want.

I have not had any problems hot swapping either.
There is one issue with hot swapping.
It does not update with the new amount of free space available on the card when you go to phone info and storage devices

Why do you have to turn the phone off? I have always inserted and removed mine with the phone on and never had any problems.
Also, Why is formatting required? I never did that either and also have had no problems with that.

i haven't had any problems either ,but several people have to do this to prevent the phone from freezing up or corrupting the files?????don't know why. 😁

Affirmative! 😡
I inserted and removed TF multiple times and my phone start freezing up while trying to access TF card (required hard reboot - i.e. battery removal).
After reformating TF everything back to normal, so DO NOT REMOVE is a good advise!

I can do it, both ways (phone->computer and computer->phone). You just need a flash card reader that can handle SD... the tf card comes with an SD adapter. Works for MP3s and ringtones (either MP3 or MIDI) as well.

My phone does not appear to recognize the trans flash card. When I select switch storage device, it gives me TRI-mmc and phone. I selected TRI-mmc (don't know what that means) but camera message was capture failed. 😕

Thanks. My next goal is to use the theme from Sex and the CIty as a ring tone. How do I do that? (Baby steps please, I do not know what I am doing--tech challenged)

Okay, I'm winging it here, but the directory structure is something like this:
E:\motorola\shared\ringtones
--OR--
E:\motorola\shared\sounds
Step one is locate the .MP3 or .MID file you want to use for a ringtone. Step two is to open your tf card in a Windows Explorer window (obviously this will be a tad different if you are using a Mac or your IPAQ). Step three is to drag your sound file to one of the above locations on the tf card. I think the way I did it was to copy it to the "sounds" directory, then whe...
