V3 Razr

[jammer08]

I have been searching the net for hours, and am still with out an answer.. so I'll try here-

I have a V3 Razr, and would like to run Salling Clicker on it, but unfortunaly the firmware or something doesn't support it. Does anyone know of a flash or different firmware that would work on the V3 and also allow me to use Salling Clicker?.. if so I would be extremely happy. Thanks in advance.

Guess not..

Take a look at this thread...

Take a look at the post by the admin on p. 13 (last page, as of when I looked at it).

This is one of those "Google is your friend" things. Google is your friend, but in this case, your RAZR isn't, unless it's a V3i or V3x. Neither is mine, sadly.

Razr V3, V3c, and V3m dont have JAVA/J2ME the language that clicker is written in. They run their apps in BREW, another language. Razr V3i and V3x do support JAVA/J2ME and therefore can run clicker.

I have a V3c.

At present I'm
1) trying to talk Jonas into porting clicker to BREW, and
2) I'm trying to find a V3c firmware with JAVA/J2ME support to flash into my razr.

If your successful with Jonas, I would be very interested... I just signed up with T-Mobile (swiched from Verizon), and am completely unsatisfied... I am thinking about going to Cingular, and maybe getting a supported phone with them, since Salling Clicker is really the only way to control your Airport Express remotely... plus Clicker supports WiFi now... if I get a supported WiFi enabled phone, I think that will be a great setup.

FWIW, there are some other options....

But I don't have an Airport Express (I have an Aiport Extreme) so no firsthand experience. My last phone was a Nokia 3650 which supported various remote control programs, but I never ended up using any of them....

if you have a PSP this app is pretty cool for controling iTunes (and thus airport express). i keep intending to try it out on my brother's PSP but keep forgetting. i've heard good things about it thouh, and it sounds really cool since you can see the album art on it!

... now i have to go play with my V3 again (it was a pain the first time around i flashed and flexed and all that stuff) but it would be worth it if i could get salling clicker on it! maybe i will also try running everything from my mini (booted in windows of course!)

I have a V3 my uncle gave me (Cingular Wireless). It was his phone, and he switched to Verizon and didn't need it. The phone didn't like my SIM card for some reason, and the pricks at Cingular said "You don't meet the requirements to unlock this phone"...basically I didn't pay $200 for it or sign up for another one of their ****** 2yr contracts.

Anyway, long stort short, I unlocked my phone myself but flashing and flexing. Its a total pain in the arse, but you can start you search here. Now, my phone does all sorts of crap, like video camera and tons of games, and most importantly for you it definately has Java (JavaME to be exact). Once the phone is unlocked, there is a TON of crap you can do with it.

As a side note, this is a subject of COMPLETE AND UTTER FRUSTRATION to me. I can't believe a cell phone company can dictate WHAT you can do with the equipment YOU bought. Its not like you are leasing or renting it...YOU FRIGGEN BOUGHT IT! Instead, they hobble the phones to the point that they suck. Good job, peeps.

Well, you're the one that bought the crap hardware with the crap company

My razr v3 pisses me off often, but i can live with it.

Glad to hear it!!.. That means that there is hope for me, as that is the language that Salling Clicker uses.. If you recall, can you please let me know which Monster Pack you used? Also, did you notice any difference in reception after the unlock? Thanks!

Same here... mine isn't a V3i or V3x ... I have been Googling for a while, and havn't really found what I need to get this to work.. I'll head over to that thread and check it out.. Thanks!

From what I've heard Salling Clicker doesn't work with the Razr phone

yeah, it won't work off hand, but I have heard there is a way to get it to.

I have to warn you...Photobooth mirrors everything, so the images are backwards.


This is my little logo...http://www.codechimp.net. This appears instead of the little orange Cingular man logo.


My new menu. Upper left (right in picture) shows you what network the phone is currently using...very handy when traveling. You can also see the new "Video Capture" option.


This is what happens when you goto Apps/Games in the menu.


This is the list of apps that came with the Monster Pack I used. The first game, which you cant see, is Billiard. All are Java ME, and place a little coffee cup on the status bar at the top of the phone when ran.


Golf game in action. See the coffee cup in the center of the status?

Thats all I took. If there are any more screenies you want me to try to get, let me know.

Oh, and BTW, even though the phone is unlocked, it still syncs with iSync just fine.

Have you tried running SailingClicker since you flashed it?

Nah, not really. Have no use for it. I don't think its freeware either. Then again, I *DID* flash my phone, so aparently such laws do not phase me

I'm sorry -- that didn't make any sense because I confused you with the original poster. He was the one who had the SC interest.

Yes, I had all of that, even before my flash... would you mind installing Salling Clicker and trying to run it?

I tried to hit the wap.salling.com address...then I realized, I don't have a data plan since I never use web access anymore.

Sorry

Sorry

no bluetooth?

[mkrishnan]

Sorry to be n00bish about it, but I'm still confused about this whole Java issue. Are either of you sure that Java is the reason Sailing Clicker doesn't work on V3's? And are you sure that Java doesn't come pre-installed? When I go to Games on my T-Mobile RAZR V3, I don't get the white / red / blue Java splash screen, but I do get the cup up top. And the settings menu has a Java settings menu, which lists Java version numbers and so on. Is this all "brew" or whatever and not J2ME?

The Sailing Clicker forum didn't say "V3's can't use Sailing Clicker unless you re-flash them." It said that Sailing Clicker will probably never work on V3's....

I'd be überhappy if it did, mind you... but I'm just not sure I understand where chaos86's info comes from....
