Any app to use tablet to type sms using phone
 

Hi, was just wondering if there is any app that could be used to type an sms or use dialing pad on table while using a bluetooth enabled phone , so would skip the process as using the keyboard ont he phone, thanks.

Yes : Phonelink
you have to edit a configuration file located in /home/user
but then you can dial (mobile phone through bluetooth and sip through Gizmo) and send sms.

you can find it here : http://downloads.maemo.org/product/phonelink
it appears if you search dial on the new application site for maemo)

one more thing as still new to all this, once i get to
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...release_id=388

which file is it? does one need to download all? how does download work, thanks.

Re: Any app to use tablet to type sms using phone
 

phone link uses the GPE contact database and gnokii
You have to have :
1/ GPE Contact from kernelconcepts.de
2/ libgnokii
3/ phonelink itself
you then need to edit and intall the .gnokiirc file (note the dot) to connect to your phone

Hope this helps

fredoll, is there an easy way to install gpe contacts, i am looking at the download and it just gets confusing. Am a newbie to linux and maemo, enjoying it though, is there an install procedure or document. thnks.

Install GPE Contacts et al through Application Manager on your device. It's easy and straight forward; importing your contacts is a different story, though...
