'Phone Not Detected' Signal within Motorola Phone

[mathoda]

Hi,

I'm in serious pain with my A1200-- its awesome, except it doesn't yet do what I bought it for...sync with my Outlook Calendar, Contact, Tasks & Memos.

I have Motorola Phone Tools installed on my Windows XP PC. And I just went about updating the software..I now have version 4.3.6c, and then I launch the software and it asked me to plug in my phone..which I did. Then it did not find the phone driver and I ended up pulling from a list where there were numerous options such as Ming, A1200, A1200r, A1200 BT etc. I tried Ming, then A1200 and even A1200 BT but with no success.

With my phone plugged in and the software launched I get the Red X in the top left hand corner of the Phone Screen...and when I hover my cursor over it it reads "Phone Not Found" or something to that effect.

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
UV

Have you had any motorola phones in the past? Also did you make sure your usb setting is set to modem?

I dont know were you got your phone but i would try another data cable because I had two cheap one's a they didnt work I had to buy one at circuit city and it works great

Yeah, I received a bad cable with my phone, was sent a replacement and it was bad too...

Anyway, I had it installed just fine on my laptop, could sync and everything, but couldn't get it to sync with my pc. Now after I updated my laptop to the newer MPT, it will no longer conect to my phone.... Rediculous. So now I am trying to find the root cause so I can work around it. There is something interfering with the phones ability to sync with the modem....

Finally got mine to sync.... I noticed that Auto Launch wasn't checked under Modem in the application launcher tab. Checked it and it now connects. Can finally connect with MPT.

Woohoo

Broken, you are a genius! I have been trying to get MPT to work for weeks now and I think I've read every forum I could find and you are the first one to give a simple solution to the problem! I just had to Auto Launch in the Modem menu and it works! Ureka!!! Today is a good day! I got my picture messaging to work so that I can receive them on my Ming instead of the online album, now this... what's next??? Oh yes, firmware!
