Hello
I am trying to get phone link running on an N800 with a Nokia 6021 bluetooth cellphone

This forum has info about how people got phonelink & gnokii working on a N770 but not the N800 . Id like to get it running on an an N800 & then post a
how to here.

many thanks

stephen --> I installed the latest phonelink_0.7_armel.deb & libgnokii3_0.6.14_armel.deb from the "garage"
and editied .gnokiirc in /home/user to include the bluetooth port address of
my nokia 6021 phone I got by running "hcitool scan"
also Installed GPE contacts

The Phone link Program will run and bring in contacts from GPE
when I add a sms addr and click on SMS text box, I type message & hit send
then NOTHIING happens and the Nokia 6021 does Not receive the SMS from the N800

I thought I would try running the gnokii --identify to trouble shoot
but these instructions below from the forum apply to a N770
and there does NOT seem to be a var/lib/install folder on the n800

here is the N700 info I found

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...hp/t-1203.html
1) download gnokii from http://trifinite.org/Downloads/gnokii-0.6.9-maemo.tgz
2) expand the downloaded file, and you should have three files:
gnokii
gnokiirc
libgnokii.so.2.0.5
3) Copy the three files in step 2 to the 770 and open up a console window
4) become root, run "sudo gainroot" (must be in R&D mode)
5) Per fredoll's post copy gnokii to /var/lib/install/usr/bin
6) Per fredoll's post copy libgnokii.so.2.0.5 to /var/lib/install/usr/lib
7) Also copy libgnokii.so.2.0.5 to /usr/lib
8) Run /sbin/ldconfig (this will prevent gnokii complaining about missing shared objects)
9) Modify the gnokiirc file as follows:
port = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (this is the MAC for your phone, find it using "hcitool scan")
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = bluetooth
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
rfcomm_channel = 1
smsc_timeout = 10
10) Copy gnokiirc to your home directory "~/"
11) Rename gnokiirc to ".gnokiirc" (note the leading period)

To test gnokii run:
"/var/lib/install/usr/bin/gnokii --identify"


stephen--> HERE is my gnokiirc file
[global]
port = 00:17:B0:5E:5A:3C <<Your phone BT Mac Address>>
model = AT<<phone model>>
rfcomm_channel = 2
initlength = default
connection = bluetooth
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
#serial_write_usleep = 10000
#handshake = software
#require_dcd = 1
#sm_retry = 1
#disconnect_script =
smsc_timeout = 10

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/

[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]

[logging]
debug = off
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off

You should try with the latest version : 1.1
It should install Gnokii-GConf Applet in the control panel that allows you to configure your phone (gets the BT Address of the dafult phone automatically) and you can then run identify to get the model that gnokii thinks your phone is ...
You should be able to find everything in the extra repository :
- libgnokii
- gnokii (if need be)
- gnokii-gconf
- phonelink
- contact-infos (can get contacts from GPE or built-in contact)
Installing phonelink should install libgnokii and gnokii-gconf automatically

Hope this helps

Fred

Is there a way to install this for use with other make phones? Such as the Samsung blade? Just wondering, because it doesn't seem to be working.

The BT Mac is the bluetooth address of the device.. right?

try the AT driver ...
you should also check out gnokii.org wiki pages ...
and/or try gnokii gconf to let gnokii identify your phone ... try changing rfcomm channel if 1 doesn't work ...
I've heard that Samsung phone behave strangely when connected trough bluetooth ...

AT stands for what, exactly?

Also, the gnokii_config thing says that the MAC recognition thing isn't working yet or something, so I had to put it in myself.

Yes I know that the MAC recognition isn't implemented yet ... Another thing to do
But on the other had if the field is empty, it is filled with the phone configured by default for NIT
AT is the more generic driver, AT is the protocol to dialog with modems ...

And "AT" stands for "AT"tention...

the gnokii gconf identifies the phone (gnokii identify your phone as samsung yada yada IMEI = (null) and the bt shows signs of activity on the phone and tablet.

but when i go into phonelink to try and dial, it will freeze up and say that phonelink is not responding. something missing?

Never seen that ... Then Samsung are know for their poor bluetooth implementation ...

fix by unchecking use .gnokii file in gnokii gconf.

so just to add to the list. Samsung SGH A516 works with dialing and sending sms. sms delivery and call notice do not work. nor did i expect it to work with this phone.
