float, mercur, gowin, 619,

using the cable i am not able to use GPRS *and* MPM (PBTM, MyPictures, SendFile, etc) at the same time. and i think that's how it is, because they're using the same COM port.

however, using bluetooth, i can use GPRS *and* MPM at the same time. reason is my GPRS is on COM7 and MPM uses COM6.

I'm new to all this and simply wanted to synchronise my T68 / Outlook calendars and to use T68 as modem for Outlook email when I'm mobile (otherwise I plug in to ADSL). Problem is I can't connect using the XTND downloaded from Ericsson's site. Ericsson told me it's 'cos I'm on XP, and they can't help (yet?) so referred me (unoffocially) to esato and this forum.

I've read all 7 pages of this string, tried float's software, but cannot connect (using bt).

As a non-techy, what can I do other than wait for Ericsson????

@igloo

First of all, this thread itself is all about FMA and it's not what you're looking for. FMA does not syncronize with Outlook (at least not yet)

I'm on XP, and can use all ericsson's software without problem, especially their latest release. For information on different software packages to download, check out this thread:

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=3497&forum=17

You'll also want to search the whole forum using the keywork such as "XP Sync Problem", as well as post a new topic in this forum to seek more "non-techy" help, you will need to includes your BT card model to be more specific.

Btw, for my BT card (TDK) i have to explicitly "connect" the port each time before i can use any MPM based software (such as XTNDConnectPC)

About FMA, if you want to make it work (but it didn't serve your purpose on Sync'ing outlook), you should find out which port your bluetooth is Serial Port Profile is in and configure FMA to that port. You might want to enable RTS flow control in the Option menu too.

Personally i find that Bluetooth and Ericsson's software (even mine) are not that user friendly to the non-techie, so be patient

Good luck.

Cheers,
floAt

This is strange! I just tryed connecting my phone to 2 profiles, Serial and DUN and that worked.. then I tryed connecting Mobile Agent to the phone and that worked, but when I tryed connecting with the GPRS connection that didn't work. My theory is that the phone only supports one connection at a time. That's just a limitation.

However, I have found one bug in the Mobile Agent software. It does not send the following charachters via SMS: Áá, Éé, Íí, Óó, Úú, etc. on the other end they come out as Question marks. These charachters with the commas facing to the other direction work well when sending an SMS. The Ericsson phones are able to display these letters, but it's not possible to type them in on the phone's keypad.

There is also another thing that shoul be fixed. When I recieve a call and the Mobile Agent is connected to the phone it will pop up a small window with the buttons Answer and Hang Up. Answer does not loose it's functionality if the phone call is answered and if pressed during a conversation the program hangs.

i cant connect to GPRS while FMA is running. it has got to do with the port being already open, and windows can't open it for use anymore

@arnoldc
hmmm ... how many com ports do you have? are you saying that that BT card uses 2 ports at the same time. that's interesting.

anyway, i still can't use my MPM-based apps (phone is not detected using a USB to RS232 cable connected to a data cable) but FMA and GPRS works fine.

@Float
I got this error: Exception +cms error: 500

from the debug window:
10:41:23:389 [RX] +CMS ERROR: 500

I was sending several messages (about 50) when it occurred.

Is there a faster way of sending messages to multiple recipients? With PBTM, I can select multiple contacts to whom messages will be sent out, I cant do that with FMA

(Don't worry, am not spamming. It's just that SMS is quite convenient for sending short notices to several recipients.)

@Merkur,

Thanks for informing.

For the character set, i tested some of the character work fine, such as é. The rest are not defined in the 7 bit default alphabet as specified by GSM 03.38. I guess it must be under 8-bit encoding then, is it commonly used?

Here a table of the 7-bit default alphabet which i used:
http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/default_alphabet.html

Currently i didn't support those Greek characters and some special characters which require Escape Sequence.

I will get "Answer" fixed in next release, remind me if i didn't

@GOWin,

I configured 3 serial port for my phone on my TDK BT, 2x for Serial Port (COM4-FMA, COM5-MPM) and 1x for DUN (COM8). I notice COM4 and COM5 can't be used simulteneously but didn't try otherwise.

CMS ERROR 500 is return by the phone and it means "Unknown Error"

Are you sending to multiple receipent? I don't think i can do anything about it unless maybe impose a delay between each receipent and it the phone rest for a while. Let me know if the problem persist.

If you mean selecting for sending, you can (currently) do it:

1. select the number from the phonebook, select "Message To Contact", repeat this process for other contacts, FMA will not open a new message window for each contact, rather will add the contacts to the same message window.

2. alternativelly, you may drag the number to the "To" box, one by one.

3. alternativelly, you could have a text file handly, list the contacts (just the number will be sulficient) in one line separate by semi-colon, copy and paste the line into the "To" box.

4. alternativelly, write a script

When you sent via PBTM, you still have to wait for the quite sometime right? For example if one text takes 2 seconds, 50 receipient will take 100s? Btw, did you try sending to 50 receipient from PBTM, did it return an error?

I have plan to add Group/Distribution List in later version, but that will be after re-architecture of storage system. FMA was started as just a simple SMS sending program that allow me to type message via the full size keyboard

Btw, you could expect Phonebook editing after the re-architecture, since i've partially implemented the OBEX protocol. I do not know when will that happenned, but i wish to try out/add more feature to give a better idea on it.

Cheers,
floAt

Thanks for the info.

In my case, the laptop that i use doesnt have a built-in COM port. I have to use a USB to RS232 adapter so I can use serial devices.

What I wanted to know is if it's possible for multiple apps (say FMA and active GPRS connection) to use it at the same time.
