Motorola :: Adding Content To I290
Mar 2, 2010
I'm basically re-posting information that you can find on the internet if you look long enough.I spent 20+ hours figuring out how to put ring-tones, wallpapers, and JAVA programs on the i290.
First, you need a mini usb to usb cable. It doesn't have to be one branded for Motorola.Don't let yourself get suckered. Any cable, as long as its mini usb, will work.
Second, you need to install drivers for your phone. If you don’t know how to do this, quit while you're ahead. A Google search for Motorola i290 modem drivers should point you to them.
Third, you need content to put on your phone. Wallpapers are easy. Just make sure the resolution is 130 x 130 pixels and they're a .jpg format. I don't remember all the supported formats. Again, Google is your best friend. Ring tones take some work. First you need to obtain some songs that you want on your phone. I do not advocate illegal downloading.I'm not even sure what I'm about to show you is legal. The moderators can erase this post and ban me if they want. I'm putting the info out there, not forcing people to use it.
Now that the legal poo is out of the way, once you have your future ring tones, you need to convert them to a usable format. Supposedly the phone supports mp3. I haven't found the magic formula for this yet. I've been using wav files. Download Audacity. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ You'll also need the Lame mp3 add-on. Open your song with Audacity. Pick out 20 seconds of the song that you want to become your ring tone. You can do a little longer, but you're dealing with very limited space on this phone. 6-7 Megabytes max, and that space is shared for ring tones, wallpapers, text messages and God knows what else.Make your 20 second clip into an mp3 by copying it to a new Audacity window and exporting it as an mp3. Don't worry about sample rate. You'll fix that in the next step. Download dbpoweramp. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ Scroll down until you see Audio Conversion. I think it’s only a 21 day trial. After that, you’re on your own. Right click your new 20 second mp3 and select convert to. In the Converting to box, click Wave. Then highlight the radio button Compressed. Click Settings. Format PCM. Attributes 8.000kHz, 8 Bit, Mono 7kb/sec. Click OK. Then click Convert. The new file should be output to the same directory as the original. If not, search your computer for songname.wav
JAVA. www.getjar.com; www.boostapps.com (this one lets you send stuff to your phone through the buy applications menu for free.) Or you could download the .JAD files and upload then yourself.Which brings me to the last part. Loading all this stuff you have onto the phone. You need a program for that. Something like ***** MediaPAL or another similar program for IDEN phones. These programs cost money folks. Probably should have told you that sooner. I'll tell you that they cost less than the $2.99 per ringtone and wallpaper that you pay to Boost. If you’re crafty, you'll find a way to get the program. I have ***** MediaPAL.Launch your program of choice. Connect to the phone.Load your media and press send.Hopefully you're tech savvy enough to follow these instructions.If the post does get nixed, you can always email me @ my hotmail.

As of 3/25/2011 you can no longer download ANY content from Verizon Wireless. The "Media Center" no longer is supported. The phone has been marked obsolete. If you have an active Krave on Verizon it will remain fully supported. New or certifitd preowned Verizon Kraves that have not been activated will NOT be supported.

I can't sync a digital copy of a movie from my PC to my MAXX. When looking in the Verizon forums I found the following statement:Transfer Pictures / Videos - DROID RAZR / RAZR MAXX by MOTOROLA.

I was able to connect to my macbook pro a few time last week, randomly, as i was having trouble getting motocast usb to open past the "loading content" screen. No it won't get past that at all, stuck on this screen for hours, rebootd phone, mac, reinstalled motocast. I've seen other having this load content issue also, how can we fix this? I'm using the motocast mac version downloaded from the website.

I spend most of my time with the MOTOACTV trail running and mountain biking. This thing that annoys me the most is the software doesen't correct for gps loss. it just reads as I wasn't moving for a set amount of time. If I were to add a footpod for running...or speed/cadence for riding...would the software average the movements over time---or still cut out (record as not moving) as it does when I lose GPS signal when in heavily covered areas?

I go through the contact list and there are addresses for people I never heard of or emailed. Then my Yahoo mail was hacked after I noticed this. It seems the phone takes all the people in my address book and does a google search or facebook search and it will actually add a photo of the person (which I do not want) and it will not let me delete these new mysterious entries?All VErizon said was I have to make sure contact sync in unchecked in the phone which is it but in Gmail there is no place to unsync contacts. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, or any other socila media site and I want my privacy protected.This is a huge issue because I had a stalker and it cost me a great deal of time and money getting restraining orders and moving from place to place while being located every time.
This is dangerous for me and the phone will not turn off my GPS or stop adding these people in my contacts that may have been on a website I visited. That's the only way I can figure this happened and the Yahoo mail got hacked at the same time.I don't know what elese to do, the phone is locked, the credential password is very hard to remember much less guess and everything is off. No GPS< no sync with anything accept the calendar via Gmail which I made sure is set to PRIVATE.My Gmail profile is also PRIVATE. If I logged in on a PC it will ask do you want to make your profile public so people can find you?
I don't see what type of FILTER I'm suppose to add in my Gmail account to stop this contact sync? Or contact list that grows and grows while I have done nothing.Weirder yet the Verizon rep said it happens when you connect the phone to a PC, that's why she said I need this filter to stop contacts from being added. But I don't have a PC anymore, it broke a few weeks ago and this incident happened last week. The phone wasn't connect to a PC for 6 weeks.Does anyone know how to make me private and stay private. I don't want any contacts added in my phone or Gmail unless I manually add them period. I don't send updates, don't want to and don't want updates from any one else.

I just realized that if you add a manual workout...which on MA website under reecent workouts it allows you to do it...
It lets you manually add the mileage, duration, calories???, date..

And then when you look on both graphs it says no raw data...So, you cant see any of the details at all??

As per the title, I have a i265 which I'm trying to get a tone and decent wallpaper, but be it tone or wallpaper, I get a charming "Unsupported content" message. So I'm stuck with factory tones/wallpaper which, well, blow.I'm thinking about getting a cable off eBay and upload my own stuff to the phone. What program should I use assuming I get the cable?

Zumocast on Windows 7 and retrieving files from Droid Bionic. I open the client on Windows 7 and under Manage Content, I click the Add Folder button and select the folders to index. The folders are the Pictures, Music, Videos, and Documents library folders in Windows 7. Content is picked up on the Droid (although I do see some problems with directories that contain a large number of files) but after I reboot the Windows 7 machine and reopen the Zumocast client on Windows 7, the folders are lost and I have to add all of them back again. I tried adding a folder that was not a Windows library type folder and saw the same problem - after a reboot all the folders I specified to index are lost.

Every time I tried to post a question or even respond to an existing post, the answer field would not be visible. The only fields I could enter text in was the question title field. Each time it tried (three posts I think) that was all I could fill in. On existing posts, the Post an Answer field would not be visible. I made sure that I was singed in and all that, I could not get anything to work.

I can add/edit a birthday on a contact selecting only the month and day. **This is our preferred method**
My husband's Droid Turbo: For some reason, he is forced to enter a year and that messes with the Birthdays Calendar on his google account. Birthdays entered on his contacts do not display ever year on his calendar.
Question: How do we remove the year requirement and get his screen to look like mine?

I love my Atrix HD but one key feature that is missing is the ability to enable and disable LTE mode. By that I do not mean just turning on and off data services. Many other Android phones have the ability to select the radio band that you wish to use. It gives the owner of the product the ability to move down to 3G or Edge service if he or she wishes. As it is now we are all forced into LTE mode.

I tried to use my car dock for the first time today with my Atrix and I found that I was unable to add additional apps to the free buttons.
When I long pressed a button, nothing would happen and it would be followed shortly after by a force close dialog for Settings. why I would be unable to an app and why the car dock app would be causing a force close in Settings?

So I'd like to add my local bike trails to the maps that are built-in to motoactv. Anyone have any idea on how to do this? Or if this is even posible? I'm about to start looking to the internal map files but I thought I'd post it up here to see if anyone else had looked at this.Right now I have my local trails in google earth as paths. I know you can add routes to my motoactv but this doesn't work very well for a complete trail system. And then I have to decide ahead of time which trail I'm going to take that day. I'd much rather just look down and see all the connections wtih my position included on my motoactv.

When I got my phone, the Verizon rep helped move my 3000 contacts from my old phone to the new one.They are all there in the phone.But, they will not sync up into Outlook via MS Exchange.It WILL sync a newly added Contact, so sync is working between my phone and Outook.This works both directions, whether I create a new record on my phone or create the new record in Outlook.It just won't work with the ones loaded on the phone at the time of purchase.How tag all my original Contacts on my phone so they will flow up into Exchange/Outlook?
