Hi, I had a cingular V3 and MPT worked fine. I now have a Verizon V3C and can NOT get MPT to work!!!! It never detects the phone and I am at my wit's end. All I want to do is put some pictures on it that are on my computer. I have VCast and was browsing the net... and even made my own web page to put the pics on and managed to see the links and even open them and see the pics. Is there any way I can save them to my phone? Any other ways you guys can think of? Also, anyone have a clue WTF I cant get MPT to work?

Does your computer have Bluetooth? You can add/remove pictures and ringtones via Bluetooth without any software.

I dont know... it must though. I have a wireless router and my axim can connect to it with bluetooth...otherwise I could use a usb bluetooth adapter. How do I do it over bluetooth?

Alright, there are a few steps:

1. Turn the Bluetooth on the phone on.

2. Double click the Bluetooth icon in the tray on your computer.

3. Click "View Devices in Range".

4. Click the phone the computer finds once, then click "Establish Pairing".

5. Enter 0000 as the pin number, click ok. The phone should beep, enter 0000 on the phone to establish the pairing.

6. Double click the phone icon on your computer screen, it should pause then display a screen with 4 choices. You want the "Obex File Transfer" option, double click it.

7. You should now see 3 folders, audio, video, and picture. Your mp3 ringtones go in the audio folder. Double click the audio folder to open it, then just drag and drop files into it.

8. Once that is done turn the Bluetooth on the phone off, and the mp3's should appear in the list of ringtones under settings>audio.

Edit: Here are some screenshots I made to help understand the process.

excellent, but I have no bluetooth icon on my computer. Do I need to install some special software/hardware? I assuymed that I could connect via bluetooth through my wireless router. I have a Dell Axim PDA that has bluetooth, and I can search for netowrks on it and find my & any other router to connect to the internet. Is this something else?

My e815 supports playing MP3's and displaying pics and video from a memory card and I bought a 512 meg transflash card for the phone, so to transfer all of the above to my phone I just put the card in my card reader on the computer and drag and drop. After this you need to go into all three (pics, audio, and video) and switch them from internal memory to the memory card.

Yeah, I dont have a memory card on this phone. I want to be able to use the bluetooth, so hopefully I can figure out a way to get P2Kman working on it so I can seem edit the bluetooth OPEX functionality backinto the phone and that'll open up the floodgates for me. How Im going to do this I still don't know.
