SOme help with E815

K....this is the first time I've ever really "posted" to a forum, so if I make some mistakes I apologize, I have a Moto E815 with service from Verizon. I ordered the USB cable and the Phonetools software and, thanx to this forum, I found the correct drivers that allow the tools to recognize my phone. I have everything ( calendar, phonebook, mail) except the multimedia icon. I can switch my phone to the motorola modem E815m in the setup and then the multimedia icon is there but, then it wont initialize the phone. I believe I read somewhere in this forum that verizon "locks" this feature out to force us to pay for their get it now service. If this is true, is there a way to unlock the feature? Any ideas?

Thanx

I'm not sure but I have a similar problem. I had a V710 and they said is was a "bluetooth phone" but it couldn't sync any data.

Then along comes the class action suit against verizon and I get some mail that says they are going to take back the v710 and replace it.

In the mean time, it breaks and I send it in on their insurance plan and get a e815 in return.

The e815 is even worse, because at least the v710 worked as a blue tooth modem with my laptop and PDA. The e815 is a big step backward for me, because it doesn't work as a modem because Verizon won't let it.

I'm guessing your problem is not equipment, it's Verizon.

They will decide how you use your cell service and you will like it! If you don't, then watch a video or download more funky ringtones.

This kind of thinking did so much for General Motors, I can see why Verizon has this attitude. These people just can't do enough to loose customers.

Ahh...yes, but surely there's away around this. I've read other posts where they talk about unlocking phones but none on the E815. Don't get me wrong, other then the occasional "lost signal" in the middle of a call, and the every other month billing change, the 2 bar strength in certain area's ( usually where ever I happen to be ) ...it's great, but on the other hand, I've got a feeling I could make it into a tool I could really enjoy, especially if I can get games onto it without subscribing to a monthly membership, I'll keep looking and if I find something that works, I'll post it here.

Maybe start here?
