Anybody any ideas of the easiest way to charge a Motorola Razr V3i (I believe it's the make - looks the same from a quick google and having used it before [friends phone]) from a laptop without having the MPT software installed?
Assumed it was just a matter of them hooking up the USB connection, then assumed it was a fault with the USB to USB mini cable when connecting it didn't work for them... at this stage I was tired of assuming and googled... seems that the only way to charge using USB is to have the Motorola software (Motorola Phone Tools - MPT) installed on the laptop/pc and to not have let the phone lose all charge? Is this correct?
If not, anyone any idea how I can get it charged for them using a standard (from digital camera) USB to USB mini cable without the software?
(Guessing they'll just have to wait a couple of days and get the AC charger back or pick up a new one)
[Could still be potentially a problem with the mini USB connection on the phone so can't rule anything out]
