Dear Scott,
I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your MotoCharger app. I had been searching for hours for a solution!! This is a must have that I plan to share with others having my problem.
Sincerely,
Jess
Hi Scott,
I'd also like to say thanks for the phone charging app. It works great on the newer Motorola M385, the cheapo phone that I have.
Cheers,
Zev
I wanted to echo the above and thank you for Moto Charger!! I'm without my charger for a week and was prepared to be phone-less... thanks to you, I'm not! Many thanks!!
Scott,
I'm ready to buy ReceiptWallet and DocumentWallet. Can you recommend any multi-functions with Scanners or do you think the stand-alones are best? I will be scanning receipts, monthly bills and tax forms...so I will need one that can last a long time. Also, I have a podcast called the T4 Show on iTunes and would love to have you on if you can afford the time. Thanks.

Hi Michael,
I'd recommend against any multi-function device. They're mediocre at each feature. If you can afford it, I'd recommend a Fujitsu ScanSnap. Over on my ReceiptWallet website, I have a link to it over on Amazon.
As for your podcast, sure I have time. Just go through my ReceiptWallet contact page and we can work out the details.
Hello,
I look for a software checker email for Mac.
It seems to me that you develop Notify Mail.
Is still available?
Thank you
Yes, I developed NotifyMail. However, I discontinued it awhile back. NotifyMail was never a "checked for email", it was an email notification application. The difference is that NotifyMail did not make a POP or IMAP connection to get email; it listened for a cue from the server.
Hi Scott;
I want to purchase RecieptWallet, and can't find it. I have the demo that has expired. How can I get you $$$, and I get key to unlock?
Thanks-
Paul
You need to contact Mariner Software http://www.marinersoftware.com/ as they now own ReceiptWallet.
Moto Charger. Any chance you'll put the source for the old Moto charger up. I have a Moto W233 that won't charge on my mac and the old version (2006) doesn't work.
Cheers,
Your motocharger app is amazing. I recently upgraded from a RAZR (which charged fine) to a V750 Adventure which did not. It would charge in Windows (in VMware Fusion) but not mac. But with your app my phone charges fine now. Any chance of releasing the source? Thanks again!
I have no plans on releasing the source code for MotoCharger. What I'd actually recommend is getting a charge only cable for your phone; I got one with a Belkin surge protector with 2 USB ports. With this cable you don't have to worry about my app working or not working. Also, my app just detects the USB vendor; unless Motorola uses multiple vendors, it should work fine.
OK, I've changed my mind and have released the source code. Goto http://blog.gruby.com/2006/11/27/charging-a-motorola-razr-over-usb/ and check the update area to grab the source.
Hey Scott,
I have been looking for a way to charge my Motorola w385 phone on my Mac for the longest time! (about 10 months since my charger was stolen) I finally put together the correct search terms and your site came up.
I am happily charging away on my iBook now!
I just want to let you know the amount of appreciation i have for you for developing this application, it is saving me from buying a wall charger that would be at least 15 bucks.
Thanks!
Hi Scott,
I used your motorola charger application for my krzr phone, and for some reason, the phone will no longer charge when plugged into my car charger or the normal wall charger - it only charges when plugged into the computer. Do you know why this happened, and do you have any suggestions as to how to fix it? I don't always bring the computer when I travel, so I do want to be able to charge my phone the normal way as well.
Thanks!
Malavika-
Sounds like there is a problem with the charging circuit on your phone. The only thing that the MotoCharger application does is tells the USB port to open the interface. It's possible you had a defective USB cable which sent extra voltage to your phone. My app definitely didn't cause this problem. I had something similar happen to my MacBook Pro recently where it would only run off AC power and the battery would no longer charge; somehow the charging circuitry got zapped. Sorry.
Just found motocharger; thanks so much!
Hey Scott- just read your post about the doggy root canal. I'm also... in San Diego. What pet dentist did you get that quote from? My little guy apparently chipped a canine (I just found this out earlier today)...
Hi Amy,
We used http://www.dogbeachdentistry.com/ . While it was expensive, our dog is pretty young and getting the tooth pulled wasn't an option. Depending on the age of your dog, pulling the tooth may be a better option.
Thanks for the MotoCharger app! I wanted to let you know that I too had trouble launching the app for some reason - 10.5.8 on PPC. However, I opened the application package, and found the unix executable file (no idea what's in the file, just that I can run it from the terminal app (cli)) and it works beautifully!
Of course this doesn't help me with my other little solar chargers etc.- I'll have to make an actual cable for those... or alter one.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, I'd like to add my voice to those who say thank you for creating motocharger. FINALLY. I have never understood why it didn't work right out of the box, and now it just plain works to charge my phone this way. This is awesome. One less unit to carry around on a trip. Thank you so much!!
Michael
