I actually love the Razr for how easily modifiable it is, compared to most cell phones. Head on over to www.hacktherazr.com if you have some spare time. The guides there were meant for the Verizon Razr, but a lot of them will work for the Sprint V3m. If it doubt, ask in the forums. One of us will answer you!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535098602682226576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-58061516058529145202007-03-20T21:19:00.000-05:002007-03-20T21:19:00.000-05:00The phone will record ambient input as a ring tone...The phone will record ambient input as a ring tone, so I was thinking one could bet a mini-jack to phone jack cable and use analog output from an MP3 player to create a ring tone.

I used Motorola Phone Tools to transfer chopped mp3's to the media player on the phone but can not figure out how to make them usable as ring tones. I have done this before quite easily on several other Motorola's I've had under Cingular service but this Sprint version just might be the death of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-19043018772065265122007-03-08T12:38:00.000-06:002007-03-08T12:38:00.000-06:00I wonder if a USB audio driver would break some DR...I wonder if a USB audio driver would break some DRM scheme they fancied they'd add.JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-88177422684816870932007-03-08T08:13:00.000-06:002007-03-08T08:13:00.000-06:00My complaint is the lack of a USB Audio driver.

Without this, you can't plug the V3m into your PC, and use your PC's speakers (or PC's headphones) to listen to your music (while charging the V3m too). I don't understand why MOT makes a phone that can output music/sound thru its mini-USB port, but never thought to supply a USB Audio driver for the PC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-26693200969229980822007-03-05T10:02:00.000-06:002007-03-05T10:02:00.000-06:00Prof hal - I don't know a way to download images v...Prof hal - I don't know a way to download images via the USB cable, but if you're able to charge from your Dell you've probably installed the XP Connection software from Sprint. Try playing with that, or see if XP is displaying the phone as a mounted item.<BR/><BR/>On OS X I can browse this folder using the OS X Bluetooth browser -- but not via USB.
