Motorola V265 / V266 / V276
Any apple users out there with the V265???
Hi,
Im an avid apple user. Im running 10.3.6 and unfortunately motorola mobile to pc software is ONLY FOR PC. I called tech support and guess what they told me. They dont support MAC because PC counts towards 90% of the market share!!! I havent laugh so hard in my life!!!!
Anyway Im trying so hard to find some software or hacks to be able to have my mac recongnize my v265. I want to add my mp3 ringtones that ive created and update my contacts ect... I refuse to pay that verizon that "get it now" bullshit. Thanks

yup. i'm an apple user.
unfortunately, i have not found out any way to transfer files, other then sending the email to vzwpix.com - that's the way i do desktop pics - can attach about 3 per email, so the cost is down. as far as updating the phone with numbers and appointments - you can use isync and the usb cable (i have one from my v60 that works just fine) - just tell isync to find the device, and it recognizes the v265. you can then choose people and calendars you wish to sync. it works really well, haven't entered in a phone number into my phone for well over 2 years!
i can't get the phone to be recognized as a modem (my v60 did and was able to access the #777 network) so if anyone knows anything about that, that would be aweso...

there might be a hack out there, it just hasn't been at the top of my list just yet.

dam, So how can i transfer my mp3 ringtones? this sucks so much. I even thinking of exchanging my 265 for the 710 because of bluetooth. but i heard that doesnt help either. i hate moto for snubbing us mac users. please if you find anything let me know.

you can send the ringtone to your vzwpix account - i have done that, but the sound isn't that great - and since i mostly have my phone on vibe anyway, the ringtones don't mean that much to me.
sorry - to get media to your phone, you in some way are going to have to fork over cash to VZW - they're the pricks in this case.

I don't think you will be able to transfer ringtones on Windows either. Its how Verizon setup the software on the phone and not a decision by Motorola. As for not supporting the Mac, I agree its a shame but at least iSync is there and its free as long as you have the correct cable. In fact, Apple and Motorola have pledged support for this in iSync and future renditions of this software.
And, if you do get pictures or ringtones on your phon...

so that means i have to use the "get in now" crap. I can upload the mp3 file but it wont let me send it. it states midiy warning and server error. well on the moto's website it says u can transfer ringtones through there window software. i am determined to get this **** to work. Pictures i can get fine on my phone. but the screen is so dull thati dont even care about that. its really the ringtones.
But incase it doesnt work. whats the best get it now ringtone provider out there? ringster, xringster ect..

I have used MyTonz and Soundtracks & Themes. Not sure if either are available for the v265 as of yet. Good luck getting it work. There are programs out there such as BitPim that might work but you run the risk of screwing up your phone and voiding the warranty. In other words, I would just use GIN.
I like GIN. I have downloaded a few ringtones and wallpapers but that gets old fast. So I pay a few bucks for some ringtones?!? GIN is great for sports and news, etc., and certainly better than Mobile Web. As for taking pictures, its a phone!!

i dunno if you guys are aware that you can somehow change the file from mp3 to midi...then send it as a pix message...then save the file and you can apply it as a ringer

back to the samsung 670 or lg 6100

I can tell your one of us,I feel your pain, cause i sufferd 6 long years as a verionwireless customer, it's hard for me to even talk about it man.. it hurts so bad. But, I feel guilt for not telling other's what i have learned. So do this bro.. slowly put down your crappy brick cell phone, then take three slow steps back,(slowing turing on the third one) and Run!! Run!! RUN!!! man,,, and NEVER look back dude.
LISTEN..it's going to be ok man, to tell you the Truth it's going to be much better then just o.k..
You have taken the first step and have left that crappy cdma network and brickphone.
The next step is go get a GSM phone and serivice and...
