;-) Your name suggests another type of mobile phone. <SCNR>

When I first launch the application I get:

[info] Phone is unpluged. Please connect it

I have a V220 which works with moto4lin. V3 may behave differently.

The problem is: this phone appears under two different USB IDs. After switching from AT to P2K mode the USB-ID changes from 22b8:4902 to 22b8:4901. If udev is quicker than moto4lin reacts - all things are fine. If it is not, then moto4lin tries to read from the old device file which does not exist any more and produces errors. It happens to me very often. In this case, simply close moto4lin and restart it. The phone stays in P2K mode and you should be able to connect to it now.

Another problem: access rights. I don't know if SElinux causes problems here, because I've deactivated it. The device files created for my phone are ttyACM* and are not accessible to "normal" users. I had to create an udev config file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-motorola.rules with the following rules

KERNEL=="ttyACM*", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4902", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \ += "/bin/chmod 660 $env{DEVNAME}" BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4902", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \ += "/bin/chgrp users $env{DEVNAME}" BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4901", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \ += "/bin/chmod 660 $env{DEVNAME}" BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4901", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \ += "/bin/chgrp users $env{DEVNAME}"

(merge the lines ending with "\" with the following one)

Also I am attempting to do this as a user, rather than root. I have not
tried as root yet.

You should at least try to run it as root to rule out problem with access rights.

The settings I've made in my moto4line are:

ACM Device:     /dev/ttyACM0
AT Vendor ID:   22b8
AT Product ID:  4902
P2K Vendor ID:  22b8
P2K Product ID: 4901

[ ] Detach kernel driver
[ ] Auto Connect to device

the application I get:

[info] Phone pluged as P2K
[info] Phone pluged as AT
Try to connect
[error] Unable to connect

Any other thoughts?
