A few times recently I have been sitting on the bus home from work, listening to the day's news podcast on Canola. My phone (A Nokia N90) doesn't have a vibrate alert, and a few times I have missed incoming calls because I leave it on silent when on public transport (Who wants to hear the theme tune from 'Portal' at full volume on their way home from work).

What would be ideal would be a way that your phone could notify your NiT that it has an incoming call by an audible beep, meaning that you could leave the phone on silent and receive 'in-ear' warning. I had thought that phonelink with libgnokii might be able to do this, but have had zero luck setting it up with my S60 2nd Edition device, even using the AT driver. I've done some searching around, but unless I'm missing something obvious I can't find anything else that would do this.

Does anyone know of something off-hand that would provide this functionality on OS2008/Chinook or Diablo?

Just a simple Link/Searchterm/"Nope" would suffice.

Thanks in advance.

Phonelink would be the only answer as for now ... Did you try and put gnapplet.sys on your Symbian 2nd gen phone and try symbian or S60 as a model for gnokii ?
Check out gnokii.org for more details on that ...

I'm sure this is possible with one of the bluetooth profile (HSP : headset get the info) but those profile are not yet available on Maemo ...

I tried symbian and AT as the profile settings as per http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Series60Config but the gnapplet kept shutting down without any transfer.

I suppose if that's the only current route then I'll fiddle a little more. Thanks for the input.

Update,

The Symbian profile of Phonelink/gnokii doesn't support notification of incoming SMS/Phone calls anyway.

Time for a new phone!

If the IT could be made to masquerade as a device supporting headset profile (i.e. pretend it's a BT headset) it would receive notifications from the phone (I've seen a BT bracelet which does this and flashes when you've got an incoming call).

Any thoughts as to how to do this?

check https://www.bluetooth.org/ for docs regarding profiles
and this
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/selfone/

i've managed to modify selfone to a certain point, but i've bumped in a problem where the sound was routed without me having a way to "grab" it.
i did not search any further (since diablo i mean).
does anyone know if anything changed?

Thanks,

Some info on the structure of the link between an Audio Gateway (phone) and Headset (n8x0? ): http://www.palowireless.com/infotoot...rial/k6_hp.asp

Who says MS are useless?! ;D

selfone already does that. i mean it works on my laptop. does not work on IT for some design decisions (routing the sound through a DSP instead of cpu).
my question still stands, i'm looking to restart digging into this if i can get some help (daily job )

I'm interested, not going to be able to look until week after next though as I'm away.

Are there any binary releases for selfone (for the N810 using Diablo)?

Why don't we hear more about these sorts of cool apps? I never even knew it existed
