Motorola Razr V3: Transfer Files Through Bluetooth

   Posted by David Kirk in Windows

Bluetooth allows you to transfer pictures, videos, and sound files to and from your mobile phone without the use of expensive software.


Yeah, I know that motorola wants you to spend money on the their mobile phone tools. You can easily transfer files without it.

This requires that you have already established an active connection between your computer and cellular phone through bluetooth. They need to be “paired.”

Send Files to Phone:

    1. Click Start
    2. Click All Programs
    3. Click Accessories
    4. Click Communications
    5. Select Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard
    6. It will load, click Next
    7. Click Send File
    8. In the Send to: box your phone should be listed. If not, browse to find it. Click Next to advance.
    9. Browse for your file and click Open and after select the file you want to move.
    10. Click Next
    11. Accept the file transfer on your phone.

    12. Save the file on your phone

Send Files From Phone to Computer:

I am going to describe moving a picture. Sounds and video work the same way.

    1. Click Start
    2. Click All Programs
    3. Click Accessories
    4. Click Communications
    5. Select Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard
    6. It will load, click Next
    7. Click Receive File

    8. In your phone goto My MEdia
    9. Goto Pictures
    10. Select the picture you wish to send
    11. Push the menu key
    12. Select Move or Copy (copy will leave the picture on your device while move deletes it from your device after the copy)
    13. In the Object Exchange screen, the name of your computer should be listed. Select your computer. If it is not, then select [Look for Devices] and then select your computer once it shows.
    14. The file will be copied or moved over

    15. Back on your computer now, name and save your file.
    16. Click Next
    17. Click Finished.

Easy enough… and no additional software or wires needed. If you put your bluetooth icon in your system tray, you can right click on it and start the transfer process through there as well.

    Wow, this was incredibly helpful! I was frustrated at the charges I racked up just e-mailing myself the files when I can just send them straight to my computer. Thank you so much! This is great, I can’t believe I found this just now!

      I have the same question, my phone doesn’t give me the option to move or copy so how would I go about that?
