Someone asked me to put together an iSync plugin for the RAZR V3xx. Well, here it is. All I need are some testers.
iSync-2.3 RAZR V3xx phoneplugin Ver 4 [16KB]
Put the PhonePlugins folder in either ~/Library or /Library. Enjoy!

Comment from Bruno San:
I´m the one who asked him for help...
In here is working fine!
all contacts are in the address book, calendar seem to have some problems.. but the thing with the mobile numbers is just perfect.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the help and the fast answer!
Comment from Ralph:
Thanky you for the PhonePlugin. I syncronized the adress book very well. Calendar sychronize I haven't tested.
Comment from psycho1666:
Plugin works great for me except that it does not copy the addresses from my phone to the addressbook application. Numbers and Email works fine, just no addresses... anyone has a suggestion to solve that little problem. In the phone the addresses are declared as private/home address not work or other !!!
Comment from Tyler:
Thank you so much :)
Comment from Dan:
Thanks so much for writing that plugin, it works perfectly fine! However, I can not sync addresses and calendar events...

Comment from Charles:

Comment from alby:
Hello,
yes addresses sync ok but iCal does not. COuld it be that the folder must go in the other library folder? In fact there ar to identical one under user and one under homw directory.
Moreover, how should I use the folders of people under address? I see that the smart groups don't sync...
Anyway I feel much better than before. Thank you!

Comment from Mark:
Hi,
thanks for this plugin!
What I found out: calendar items with start and ending time fom RAZR will be copied to iCal, but won´t the other way. Start and enddate are identical in iCal after sync.
Birthdays or other repeating events won´t be copied to RAZR.
Names, all telephone nos and email adresses are perfect in sync!
Thank you a lot, Dave!
Comment from Matt:
Thanks a Million, Dave!
I initially had issues placing the Plugin in ~/Library or /Library.
I eventually got it to work by placing "RAZRV3xx.phoneplugin" in:
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins/
Comment from Matt:
To Arwed:
Try placing “RAZRV3xx.phoneplugin” in:
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins/
Comment from Drkfin:
Syncing phonebook works lika a charm for me but calendar synchronization does not work at all. I am using the pluging with MacBook and vanilla V3xx.
Thank you for the plugin. It is very usefull and after calendar synchronization it will allow me to dump my old plain V3.

Comment from Erwan:
oh yes it syncs!.... but a quarter of my adress book...... :( with ver.4
can someone tell me if it's normal?
i begin to regret my 6230i :(
but thanks you anyway for this wonderful plugin
Comment from Salvo:
The first sincronization was ok (copied everything from addressbook at the phone). If I try to re-sincronize them, isync modifies all the contact and reimports them, so I have 2 times the contacts at the address book.
Any ideas?
P.S: Sorry for my english.
P.S: I placed the “RAZRV3xx.phoneplugin” in:
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice//Contents/Plugins
Comment from Salvo:
I discover that after the first syncronization, when isync reimports them, the first and last name change their position (first name becomes last, last name becomes first). That's why isync recognize them as new contacts and reimports them.
Any solution?
Comment from John:
.OK on contacts but nothing comes over from iCal to the phone?
Comment from John:
But..further info...events created on the phone get back to iCal OK! If it helps maybe it is the iCal sent up of mine - I have multiple calenders (4) and have a numbeer of repeating events. Maybe that is a factor....? Thanks
Comment from Matt D:
The plugin works great, but I cannot get ical events to sync on to the phone...otherwise, so far so good!
Comment from psycho1666:
i am using a german system 10.4.8 on a 12"powerbook, syncing works fine, but it does not recognize any adresses is put in my motorola or adressbook, phonenumbers and names are sync but not more. syncing with ical works !!! any suggestions about that adress and email problem ????
Comment from Oz:
Yes, yes, yes. It works.
After putting the plugin into
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice//Contents/Plugins
Everything works fins.
thx-a-lot
Oz
Comment from fpark:
YES, strike (as we germans use to say when we imitate english speaking people).
Works very fine for me: copying the ”RAZRV3xx.phoneplugin“-folder to the isync-package as OZ says…
brilliant, thanks!
Comment from Matthew:
Contacts work great for me. Calendar gives me an error each time I try it. I have 1 calendar in iCal I am trying to sync, but no luck so far.
Are there any settings to try in iSync to make it work?
MacBook Pro 17" 10.4.8 with all updates.
syncing via Bluetooth or USB (tried both)
Thank you
Comment from Meredith:
Anyone have a plugin for a Motorola v325 for Mac OS X 10.4.8 so I can get my address book onto my computer??
Thanks!
Comment from Dan Semaya:
Thank you! This plugin works great for syncing contacts. Calendar sync doesn't work but I don't use it anyways. I installed it into the iSync application bundle as described above.
I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that the V3xx also works with BluePhoneMenu even though it is not listed as supported.
Comment from GregorSF:
David's iSync-2.3 RAZR V3xx phoneplugin Ver 4 worked for me. I just got the V3xx yesterday, found it wouldn't sync, searched for and found this solution, and it worked!
How did I do it? I copied the iSync-2.3 RAZR V3xx phoneplugin into this folder:
/Library/PhonePlugins
I didn't make any other modifications.
Great work!
Comment from suckfish:
I had to copy the RAZRV3xx.phoneplugin to /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/ before the plugin worked (OS X 10.4.8). Got my contacts sync'd now - thanks for the plugin!
Comment from bldg13/blog » Blog Archive » A New Phone:
[...] So I had to manually copy each contact from my old SIM card to my new phone. This took some time. Then I tried to sync it with my Mac. No worky. Apple has yet to update iSync to be able to communicate with the RAZR V3xx. A quick google search and I was lucky to find a plugin that would allow OS X to see the phone. It took me awhile to get it working - I spent a lot of time because of a silly mistake - I just placed the plugin in my library folder rather than the supplied folder hierarchy. [...]
Comment from Kevin McDonald:
Right click on iSync and choose, "Show package contents". that should get you there.
Comment from Jason:
Wanted to thank you for producing this plugin. Once I dropped the .phoneplugin directory into the /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/ directory it worked great!
Still some problems with calendar syncing, but contacts are FAR more critical to me.
thanks again!
Comment from rik:
Great plugin! 3 minutes, and I am syncing.
Comment from Joe:
iSynch works, updates contacts but does not sync calendar. iSynch has 1 calendar checked for synching. Mac OS 10.4.8. If anyone has gotten iCal calendars to synch as some have indicated it would be helpful to tell us the settings you have set. Plug-in is located in correct location. BTW some have asked if there is a difference between /Library and ~/Library. Yes there is. /Library applies to all users whereas ~/Library is where individual preferences are maintained. In terms of this plug-in it will work in both paths.
Comment from Scott Goldman:
I have had a similar experience - contacts synced to the phone without difficulty (although I don't know yet whether they'll sync in the other direction) but the calendar sync, which I depend on a great deal, does not function at all. While I am most grateful to ClockSkew for writing this plugin at all I would be eternally grateful if it could be reconfigured to handle iCal sync. Not having the calendar on my phone is a great loss to me as I have made a diligent effort to reduce the number of devices I carry and the 3xx could solve many issues - but now I find I need to carry a Palm or my iPod just for the calendar sync.
Comment from F1fanincali:
Thanks for the, this has been a big help!
Comment from Daniel:
This plugin works great for syncing contacts! Thanks a million! I would really like functionality for synching calendars.... You know what they say about beggers' choices :-) CHEERS!
Comment from Vincent:
YAY! You all rock. The only thing missing from the directions is you need to completely exit iSync, then copy in the plug in, and then restart iSync. It works like a champ when you do that. (NOTE: I do not have anything in iCal yet, but will try that later)
Comment from Marvin:
I can get the V3xx to *act* like it's synchronizing (even followed all of the instructions placing it in both the iSync contents and copying the folder to it's various locations), but nothing shows up in the address book. I've tried to create a special group for the sync as well as just letting it sync to the main folder. It seems to take FOREVER to do the sync, but again, nothing in the address book.
Ideas? I am using OSX 10.4.9.
Comment from Christopher Lu:
YA!!!
Thanks a lot
very nice!!!
Comment from Psymon:
Hi all,
I've removed the phone from the Blutooth device list, downloaded the plugin and followed the instruction to install, then add the phone back to the Bluethooth device list.... but iSync still says "This device is not supported by iSync" when trying to Add Device.
Any idea what I might have done wrong?
I'm running 10.4.9, on an Intel PowerBook.
Thanks in advance.
Psymon
Comment from Todd Anderson:
Would you like help with creating the mechanism to get this plugin to work with iCal better?
Comment from will aldrich:
bravo. this is super useful. thanks a million for making this plugin happen. you've saved me hours of time.
Comment from ryan:
I just picked up a V3xx and cannot get this plug-in to work with 10.4.9. I've tried all of the mentioned tips/tricks and none seem to work for me. Perhaps something in the plug-in refers to an older version of iSync or something along those lines, such that a new install of this plug-in won't work (unless you already had it working prior to the .9 patch)? Thanks for any help with this!
Comment from HunkaBurninLove:
To ryan,
I had to do what Jason did....put the .phoneplugin directory into the /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/ directory.
To get there, I did what Kevin MacDonald suggested: Right click on iSync and choose, “Show package contents”.
I've only sync'd once, and so far so good.
Great plug-in. Thanks for the help!
Comment from WillyDavidK:
If anyone figures anything out getting iCal to sync with the 3xx plz send me an email at davidks107@msn.com - I would really like to see this working.
However my contacts synced beautifully, so thx so much for getting this working!!
-David
Comment from Wai Ming:
Ical can't work, after 2nd sync Address that make a duplicate contact in my address book & also make the "-" in between first name & last name, anybody have the same problem.
Thank you
Comment from penelope1:
just got a v3xx and tried to sync with isync...nada.
googled, found this site, joined, dL'd the plugin, and all is well.
thanks much!
powerbook, 10.4.10
(can hardly wait for 10.5 to break this....sigh...) !!
Comment from Michael:
The PLUGIN works fine. Thank you!
Comment from Brendan:
Looks like it worked!!!! I also downloaded (and paid for) GoBetween for Entourage on my iBook G4 and it looks like I can now sync that calendar as well. Thanks a bunch!
Comment from Billy:
Thanks lots for the plug-in. Works great. For those of us who are waiting, Apple's page on Leopard specifically lists the V3xx as supported by iSync and includes address book and calendar synching. We'll see in a week!
Comment from thomas:
ical... oh ical - how i neeeed you so badly.
see this forum post @ apple for a discussion on leopard not supporting the v3xx ical sync:
david - i really appreciate this plugin! any idea on when the calendar functionality will be working?
thomas
When I click on the "iSync-2.3 RAZR V3xx phoneplugin Ver 4 " link on the plugins page, it just sends me back to the same page. How can I get a copy of this plugin?
Can't download it, link redirekts me to the blog, as well does the forum link =S
does my v3xx need to have other services enabled in order to work with the plug in?
I have ATT service with a v3xx and with the usb cable isync will not find the phone. I have put the plug in into all the listed locations in this thread.
steppy
As with some other posts here, I'm unable to download the plug-in--it just takes me back to the blog... Anybody know how I can get access to this plug-in?
Is there a working link to this plugin still?
http://clockskew.com/stuff/RAZRV3xx-PhonePlugins-Ver4.zip
doesn't work :(
found a link that works as of 11/29/08
http://www.faqintosh.com/risorse/common/ecg/222/it/V3xx.zip
Peter's link above still works as of 2010/12/10. I unzipped and put in /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Plugins and got it working on my unlocked Cingular v3xx. Connected with a plain old mini-USB cable (make sure to set your USB mode to "Data Connection" as opposed to Storage Card, "Print" or anything like that.
On my wife's Macbook (Snow Leopard 10.6.5) I tried putting the plugin in /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/Plugins (since there were a bunch of files with the same extension in there).
That also worked, but also un-greyed the options for calendar sync. However, I did not see any events on the phone's calendar app when I looked. Not sure if she had any events in iCal though.
Thanks to the author of the plugin! Works like a charm! Let me know if you want me to host the file in the future.
Thanks Sal/Peter it works with my Motorola v3 on Snow Leopard.
