Motorola E815 Data Cable

Anyone have this phone? I'm trying to find a data cable that will actually let me transfer files to this phone...

People have suggested Motorola's data cable AAKN4011A for the V710... are these compatible? How does it work? Does it just show up as a USB drive?

This code makes almost everything active threw bluetooth.

Go to your Applications folder, control-click on the iSync icon and select Show Package Contents.

From there go to Contents: PlugIns: ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice: Contents: PlugIns: PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin: Contents: Resources: MetaClasses.plist

That MetaClasses.plist is the file you need to edit. Open it in a text editor, do a search for v710 and add what I have in the post above after the v710 entry in the file. Save the file and restart your computer and you should be ready for your phone.

be shure to delete the spaces if there are any when you paste it into the .plist
I have tested it works perfectly its awsome!

I'm confused... what am I supposed to add where?

Am I supposed to add all these text between the V710 and v80? or somewhere else?

Jul 11, 2005 2:47 PM in response to Justin Surpless

yea after v710 and before the next line of code for another phone.

Strange... I can't install it... it didn't install from Software update and now, I try installing it from the receipt and it reports an error installing...

Jul 11, 2005 4:10 PM in response to Evan Briggs

This is not working for me... I copied what you had here... put it between the V710 and V80... yet, it doesn't show when I view the .plist inside Apple's plist editor... also, isync never stops searching for new devices...

And iSync 2.1 won't install for me...

Justin,
Repair permissions, Reboot and try again.

Jul 11, 2005 5:25 PM in response to Gerry Brown

Still not doing anything...

Jul 11, 2005 7:14 PM in response to Gerry Brown

OK, got it to work... for some reason, pasting it in wasn't working... I had to manually build the text using Apple's editor... no biggie...

One question - why does this work? I thought Verizon disabled the protocols... is there anyway we can get the File Transfer to work?

Also, I've got members of my family on my Address book with Last Name... is there anyway I can NOT have their full name appear on my phone (aside from creating a whole new card)?

Just downloaded 2.1. USB syncing is working like clockwork but I'm still having no luck with blue tooth. I've changed the file as indicated above and isync recognizes my phone but says "cannot connect to the device" any suggestions here. Its so frustrating being so close. If I am correct all of you have the bluetooth up and running. I've configured the phone in my bluetooth device set up but the profile says the phone does not support isync etc. any help would be greatly apperciated

Random Question, for those of you who's phones are syncing with bluetooth, are any of you guys residents of CA or did you get your phones there? Verizon is in the middle of a lawsuit there and I'm wondering is the CA phones are enabled. Thanks

I live in MA... it looks like Verizon didn't block iSync access on the E815, just the file transfer... cause if it was, then no matter how anyone hacked iSync, it wouldn't work, right?

Jul 12, 2005 5:06 PM in response to Justin Surpless

And you downloaded 2.1 and then made the Mod Above and it all works fine?
What happened when you tried to add the device?
Thanks

I've had no luck downloading 2.1.... it didn't work when I did SW_U and now I can't find it anywhere...
