Any chance of integrating this with service@gtalk2voip.com ?

So that this prog would initiate the call and the current gtalk implementation would handle the rest?

... just a thought

Nice idea !
I don't know if there's any public API for GTalk ...
What would be really nice is a plugin architecture that would allow to plug any contact management system at the heart of the 770 ...

Hi,

Thanks a lot for phonelink. I am interested in maybe contributing some code to it. I made it work, seems to work ok, even though the user interface is a bit peculiar .

Note: why don't you update your initial post, with all the requiered information to install and run phonelink successfully? You also have to edit the .gnokiirc that you propose to create in order to configure gnokii: you forgot the "[global]" headline of the rc file. without it parsing is impossible.

Hi there,

I installed Phonelink in order to try it out, but since I couldn't get gnokii to work, I decided to wait for some easier way / integrated installer or whatever and uninstalled Phonelink.

The uninstall process (Application Manager) did just fine and finished saying "successfully removed" or something like it. But after a restart I'm seeing the Phonelink app still sitting in my application menu (I put it in "Extras"). I can't start in any more, there's no logo for it, but it's there and annoying me. How to get rid of the unnessecary entry?

Thanks for your answers,

I feel like an idiot. I can't find a deb for libgnokii in the maemo garage, only the phonelink deb.

I did find an install for libgnokii earlier in this thread, but it's version 2.0.5, and phonelink is insisting on v3.

sidenote: maybe my brain is just off today.. but when i try to ldd run from xterm, as user or root, that's in /usr/bin/, I get "-sh: ldd: not found", even with a full path...odd.

I just got this installed and working, bit of a chore to get it going, but I used the libgnokii from https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=31&release_id=42

My main problem was I didn't copy the .gnokiirc to /home/user - I put it in home when I was running as root, so it didn't work. Also the gnokii command line didn't work at all, but I was able to send a txt message... strange.

Good luck!

I am trying to use gnokii to get the smses out of a 6630. Has anybody succeeded in doing that?

Fred, Thanks for the effort. It is really promising. After sorting out the issues with the packages and the gnokiirc config file, I made it work with my Sony-Ericcsson T610. (I could not get the gnokii command line commands to work though...)

I have a few suggestions which I believe would not be too hard to implement, but would immediately improve the usability of the software.
1. Enable sending concatenated messages, i.e. longer message than 160 chars.
2. Put a character (and an SMS) counter on the message entry form. Especially useful until only one standard message (160 chars) can be sent only.
3. Enable direct phone number entry, not just from the contacts list.
4. List only the mobile numbers by default. If non-mobile numbers are needed by someone, should be a configurable option.

Thanks again.

after installing libgnokii and phonelink from here: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=31&release_id=42
all I had to do other than that is create the .gnokiirc in my homedir, adding the mentioned global header; it looks like this now:
$ cat .gnokiirc
[global]
port = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx #moto
#port = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx #d500
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = bluetooth
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
rfcomm_channel = 1
smsc_timeout = 10


as you can see, I have 2 mobiles, smsing and calling works fine with my Motorola V360, nothing works with my Samsung D500, tried various things, such as commenting out various lines in the above rc file, to no avail....
I hope that it will work with the d500 in some way...

I have the same phone (motorola V 360). Please, guide me in start up:

* how do you see the port code? Is it the bluetooth MAC? How can you obtain it?

* Did you success pairing your phone with 770 for internet conexions?

TIA
