Enable video recording on a Motorola Razr V3

Which model Razr do you have?

Did you purchase it as new? What does your online searching show about this unit's capabilities for video?

First thing I'd do is look in your instruction manual to see the features and capabilities (options too). If the answer is not clear, then why not visit the store from which you bought it (or go to a Motorola cell phone dealer) for proper video operation instructions.

Here's a small paragraph about MOT Razr 3 operations that might help:

"With 5 MB of internal memory storage, the RAZR V3 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA camera features a 4x zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or email, or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The phone is capable of MPEG4 video playback when you receive a video message, or if you upload video to the phone via USB or Bluetooth. The RAZR V3 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy."


Questions on operation:


Do you have a working memory storage chip installed?

Is the chip installed (seated) properly?

Is there a adequate space on the chip for storage?

One of my phones is a Motorola V3 and it does not capture video. I do not know of any such way to enable it, but if there were it would likely be a firmware update.

I don't think it's out there though.

V3 Razr Video Capture is Posssible


I have seen a website offering the ability to modify the V3 Razr to enable the video recording on the phone. Here is a link to the page:

If you scroll down it will show you. It also shows how to remove some of the Cingular logos and links on the phone as well.

Best of Luck!

Nice. Not something that I want to use (the Razr is just not fit for video) but interesting nonetheless.

Some of the other hacks like removing carrier-specific branding are things I may try.

NO hacks! - Video Recorder!
