I want Phone book
editing feature!
|
It is in
the wish list but I’m sorry that can’t be done yet, as I still haven’t find
out how to establish OBEX communication. It is not a high priority task, as
my Outlook Sync works well J
(Latest News: Added SIM only phonebook editing in v0.09.4, full
phonebook support still pending)
|
|
Would be great if i
could set a status report for the SMS I sent.
|
Sorry
mate, it is not supported via the T68 command interface. I’ve spent hours on
it as I wanted it badly myself too. I promise I will check it out when I
upgrade my firmware to T68i. (currently R2A)
(Latest News: Found that it doesn’t work in T68i too)
|
|
How about a phone
backup? Uploading Logo etc?
|
If I
would ever implement that, that is in the lowest priority. You can find
some handy tools for those at http://www.christersson.org/.
(Latest News: File uploading feature added in v0.08)
|
|
I can never get
connected to the phone!
|
Please
make sure “Mobile Phone Monitor” or other program is not locking the port.
If you’re using IrDA on Win2000, you will need IrCOMM.
If it still doesn’t work, please make sure you make the latest software
version (at least 0.07.3) and Enable RTS flow control in the Options
dialog. Still no luck? Try troubleshooting by enabling debug mode and
verify using Hyperterminal, for detail please read this
thread in Esato.
(Latest News: Native IR support added in 0.09, no longer need
IrCOMM)

The script included is intended for demo
purposes only, I wish to see you guys to write a good script which includes
Volume Control, WinAmp/WMP control, Mouse Control etc. Please email your
script to me. The script included is on VBScript, and it is fairly easy to
understand.
The sample script shows how to call external
COM object and includes all the internal commands and events currently
available.

BACKGROUND ::
“Imagine Bluetooh!” I said, “My devices will be
seamlessly connected together”. For years I have been waiting for Bluetooth
devices; thus when T68 is available and seeing other Bluetooth devices are
popping up, I brought it, together with HBH-10 Bluetooth Headset.
Live happily since then? No! it is still far from
my imagination, there are much more possibility than a handset without wire,
or play 2-player mobile phone game. Hence I brought a Bluetooth card for my
notebook.
Live happily since then? No! I was so
disappointed with the Bluetooth software, It is immature, buggy, and for
weeks I can’t hibernate my notebook if I still want to use the Bluetooth
card. Worst still, Ericsson’s mobile phone monitor doesn’t work at all! I
can’t sent SMS, nor Sync Outlook etc.
Then one fine day, I sit down and started to
write this program, main objective is to enable SMS Tx/Rx on ad-hoc basis,
more features are added from time to time. [this also make the codes to be
very messy, with no good architecture to based upon]
Along the way, I’m too tired waiting for a
useable Bluetooth driver from AmbiCom
and I brought myself a TDK Bluetooth
PCMCIA Card, and yes! This is the Bluetooth user experience that I’m looking
for. Plus I have all the Ericsson’s mobile phone monitor based software
working (at a certain level)
“I don’t need my software now…” but what the
heck! I have more control of feature I want and it is designed with Bluetooth
in mind, hence I continue to develop it, and releasing it to the public
hopping someone will like it. J
