Hey in the past I have used bitpim to put ringtones on my cellphones and I now have a motorola v3m and I cant seem to get it to work. I was curious if anyone knows how to put ringtones on a motorola v3m.

Re: Motorola v3m free ringtones
unfortunately, motorola phones are a pain with bitpim. this is what I recommend, let me know what happens & I hope this helps!
1) Launch BitPim
2) Go the Edit Menu, and Choose "Settings"
3) Click on the "Browse" button on the right
4) A list of available COM ports will appear at the top of the screen
5) If everything is setup correctly, you will see "Motorola USB Modem" under "Available Ports"
6) Highlight "Motorola USB Modem", and click on OK at the bottom of the window
7) Click "OK" to exit the BitPim Setting Window.
8) To test the connection, click on the blue "i" button in the Main BitPim toolbar. Your phone should beep, and information about the Phone should appear.

Re: Motorola v3m free ringtones
Ok, so the motorola thing isn't on the list of available ports. when I plug in the phone windows asks me to install the hardware, but I don't have the cd it needs to do so... So, I don't know what to do.

I have a link to a website but this forum will not allow me to post links until I have posted 10 replies.
therefore I am going to post 8 more replies in this forum just so I can put the link in.

Re: Motorola v3m free ringtones
hmmm. try sending the ringtones to the phone under the "sounds" section on the bitpim menu... they should then appear in your sounds menu on the phone where you should be able to set them as ringtones..
hope it helps.

Re: Motorola v3m free ringtones
Ok, I did all of those steps and i can get the phone info, but for some reason when I try to transfer ringtones to the phone from either sounds or ringtones it for some reason just doestn' put them on the phone. It acts like it is, but it just doesn't put the onto the phone... its weird.

Re: Motorola v3m free ringtones
brock50,
If your providor is Verizon, that could be the source of the problem. They are known for disabling many of the phones features that other providors leave alone. Check with them to see if what you want to do is possible. If they say it is, then ask them for instructions. They may restrict you to buying ringtones only from their web site. Or if they have become more liberal, you might be able to use Motorola Phone Tools software to transfer files to the phone.
