mobile Phone Tools trouble shooting
I had a hard time figuring out how to get the mobile phone tools to work. The mobile phone tools are a software suite by motorola to sync your mobile (in my case an a835), something like the nokia pc suite for nokia phones. It took me about three days to get them running and i can only speculate about the real cause of my trouble, but i think it was that the mobile phone tools didn’t like the nokia pc suite. After uninstalling it, most things worked rather fine.
Since then they still troubled me now and then, but there’s one thing to get them up and running again usually: just uninstall the modem drivers for your phone, restart mobile phone tools, choose connection method, connect - now things should work again.
