I'm interested in this phone, do the other bluetooth functions work with it? ie. Bluetooth file exchange, and GPRS modem? :D

tehpeh 12-13-2005 10:36 PM

(bump)

No? Maybe there is more work required to get modem and file xfer to work?

Don't know about bluetooth modem function, but modem function works great using USB for GPRS and EDGE (it's quite fast), so I think IF bluetooth works, the modem function should work as well.

I've got USB syncing working great. And bluetooth works, but when I tried to add it as another sync device under bluetooth it said 'this is already syncd via USB. Not a big deal. I like the fact that USB recharges the phone anyway.

Via bluetooth, I can 'browse' and download pictures etc... from/to the phone without any problems.

I've had great luck with this phone thanks to the info from here. I hope that some day that it's supported natively. Not sure what it'd take to make that happen. Letters to Motorola? Letters to Apple?

You can send a letter to Apple here:

MetaClasses not in iSync package...
 
I am trying to follow the hack to get a new V360 Motorola phone to communicate with my OS 10.3.9 iMac.

I chose this over the RAZR, but I could change to the RAZR.

My iSync package does not have metaclasses.plist but instead info.plist.

I put metaclasses in place of the info.plist and it still doesn't work.

btw, the tree

Contents / PlugIns / ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice / Contents / PlugIns / PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin / Contents / Resources / MetaClasses.plist

does not correspond to my files in the iSync package whatsoever.

Any help?

Eerko 12-19-2005 03:24 AM

Replacing the info.plist with the metaclasses.plist will not do any good, you have to at least replace the info.plist to its original location before continuing.

If the tree does not exist in your copy, do you have the newest version? I have version 2.1.1 here.

iSync V 1.5 not new enough?
 
My guess is that my iSync 1.5 (v139) is not new enough to use this trick.

Is it safe to presume that I can only get iSync 2+ with Tiger?

How to pair your Motorola V360 with Address Book
 
I followed instructions on how to isync my V360. It works great. Thank you.

Now, I am now trying to pair my V360 with Addess Book using Bluetooth in order to be able to send SMS and pick up calls directly from my Mac. I have been trying many times and the pairing does not seem to work...

Has any one succeeded in doing so? clues ?

Thanks a lot

PS: by the way pairing with Bluetooth assistant to send and receive files works fine.

Easy as pie!
 
I just got my V360 today and all I had to do on my phone was:

Main Menu => Settings => Connection =>USB Settings
Change Default Connection to "Data/Fax Connection"

It showed up in iSync right away and is transferring data seamlessly.

If I want to drag and drop MP3s, I just change the Default Connection to "Memory Card" and drop it into the Music folder, I believe.

I just wanted to say thanks I did as instructed and in all of one min. it worked. You guys rock. Happy new year to all.

Thanks a million.:)

I've put the MetaClasses.plist file up on my iDisk for all to download. http://homepage.mac.com/gavin33/FileSharing17.html

Just replace the MetaClasses.plist file in iSync program under By left-clicking then go to Show Package Contents (command-clicking for those who still use one-button Apple mice)

Contents / PlugIns / ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice / Contents / PlugIns / PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin / Contents / Resources / MetaClasses.plist

Thanks for the tips. I can iSync using bluetooth and everything works fine. I substituted the usb line in the plist with a bluetooth line. My path was also different but I was able to explore and find the appropriate 'Resources' folder. And as a contribution to the list, go to my website to get my MetaClasses.plist file with the corrections that I used as well as a MOTV360.tiff file that I produced using Gimp so that the icon in iSync is a V360 (just put the tiff file into the resources folder). If you don't use my metaclasses.plist file, be sure to change the line of code that calls the tiff file to MOTV360.tiff ;)

bluetooth
 
I am with T-Mobile and the wireless modem works great (Edge is quite faster than GPRS). I can also exchange files between phone-mac-phone. The only feature that I could not get to work is the pairing with Address Book...very useful for instance if you want to type SMS directly from your computer.

v360 and bluetooth
 
I'm really interested in this lattest set of MetaClasses, so as to enable bluetooth with the v360. However, when I click on the above link and then attempt to download the file (with Safari) I am told that I dont have permission.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Still not working
 
Hello all,
I've followed all the great instructions above and changed the correct MetaClasses.plist file, set the phone to Data/Fax connection (not memory card), tried to sync and failed, then repeated this process various ways about 5 times with no luck.

I'm running on an older powerbook G4 on 10.4.3 /without/ bluetooth, so I'm stuck with USB. It can see the memory card when I ask it to, and if I do a 'More Info' from the About This Mac I see all the v360 info under USB as others had posted, so I'm guessing the connection is fine.

If anyone could paste their <key>com.motorola.V300</key> that might help (previous links no longer work), but I'd feel like a tool if I got that part wrong...!

Thanks for your help

Hi, I too just purchased the V360 and was looking for the image (tiff) to round out the configuration. When I went to your website I wasn't able to retrieve the image due to lack of permissions. Is there some other way I can get your v360 image?

naterosenberg 01-11-2006 01:06 PM

Can't Download MetaClass files
 
I cannot access either of the MetaClass files. I, too, get a permissions error when I go to download the second MetaClass file in this post or its accompanying tiff.

rogeytom 01-28-2006 03:38 AM

One more time
 
I'm going to have to have one last crack at this - because i would really like to get my v360 working with bluetooth. So, anyone got the above files or an idea to get bluetooth going?

Thanks,
