Steve,

Do you have Mobile Phone Tools? I understand the the USB driver required to communicate is in that package.

I got as far as hooking up my phone and starting PKManager. It couldn't find my phone, so I figured I'd try it on my laptop since I have the USB drivers installed there.......only I haven't done it yet.

Andy - Yes. Mobile Phone Tools was installed, as was PKManager. However, like you, it could not find my phone. I uninstalled everything; I even deleted the PKManager folder that I extracted the contents of the zip file to, and started from scratch...

- Install Mobile Phone Tools

- Setup Mobile Phone Tools - phone, then USB Modem

- Verify that the USB Modem is installed properly via the Device Manager

- Extract PKManager zip file to a local directory

- Close Mobile Phone Tools

- Run PKManager

- If it asks for drivers, point the search towards the drv directory within the local PKManager directory (do this for each driver)

- After this was completed, PKManager said my phone was 'connected' within seconds

that's my issue too. must be the order. I'll give it a shot. Thanks Steve.

You're a good guy no matter what the rest of the folks say about you.

teedubbya - Thanks 🙂

I've been using my cell phone off and on today. The volume is great. I literally have my phone set to 2 of 7, and I can hear everything as if it were set to 6 or 7 with no distortion. The same goes for the headset. This is great.

I muddled through this today and was successful.

Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Funny, I was just saying to myself today, "I still haven't written up a step-by-step."

What changes did you make, Andy?

just the bluetooth volume.........the phone volume is fine for me.

I was thinking of flashing and flexing my phone to give me the latest software, opening up new features and ring tones. This might be my next move.

I have the moto software up and running but when I install PKmanager it does not connect (or look for drivers etc)

Ah....the thrill of hacking.

I have the polyphonic ringtone of "Terrapin Station" by the Dead.

I'm not gonna mod my phone toomuch because it does not belong to me.

I want to hack

That happened to me too. Then I tried on my laptop, which has Motorola Mobile Phone Tools loaded on it, after restarting PKMan a few times, I was prompted for drivers.

The key is uninstalling everything and starting from scratch.

Uninstall everything

Install Motorola Mobile Phone Tools

Check to make sure the USB Motorola Modem is installed

Unzip PKManager

Close Motorola MPT

Run PKManager

Also, if you're not using a USB cable, this won't work.

OR

you can just keep unplugging stuff and reinstalling stuff til windows picks it up....all the while screwing around on CBid.

this works for me on occasion.

Steve that is exactly what I did. I know I know... I work with a woman that swears everytime she deletes her inbox that she had nothing to do with it. But I'm not her lol.

I'll try again tonight. Maybe it will go better if I don't drink 4 22oz Sam Smith Oatmeal Stouts first.

yea.... its easier sober, but not as fun
