Kensington USB Bluetooth AdapterSo I was able to get motorola software update, p2kseem and p2kcommander loaded on a windows machine today. Once I got the auxilliary devices to actually show up it was smooth sailing. I have my subsidiary code now and everything that can be unlocked has been. Unfortunately I have inadvertently enabled some sort of stutter dial tone that happens both for outgoing calls AND incomming calls, which is really freaking annoying. The next step is to get a new theme on my phone, and the back LCD image to something other than the Motorola M.

I also picked up a USB Bluetooth Dongle. I spent some time trying to get my phone working to learn that my phone isn’t exporting a DUN service, only Voice and OBEX. Zolan has some expertise in this arena, so hopefully he will be able to assist me with the DUN portion.

The good news is that by way of obexftp ond gnokii I can now access my phone’s filesystem, contact list and calendaring!

Of course, this now means that I will be retiring my Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse for a Wireless Bluetooth mouse so I only have to have one dongle sticking out the side of my laptop. Plus the Bluetooth dongle is so much smaller…

Motorola RAZR V3cSo my old cell phone has randomly been “locking up” every since my daughter decided it need to be dunked in a glass of milk 6 months ago.

Well I finally got fed up with it and got myself a Motorola RAZR V3c. I like everything about it so far except that it’s not as easy to hack as I had first though. The tool for linux for P2K phones don’t seam to work with the CDMA RAZR’s, and the tools for Windows don’t seam to like accessing the device through vmware.

Minimally I need to access a native windows machine to upload a theme and seems, and then I can do the rest of what I need over bluetooth from my laptop in linux I think.
