hi all,
i've make my simple software for SMS/Call/Monitoring available to public, it is designed with Bluetooth in mind, and does not depend on MPM (Great for those who have problem with MPM)
Feel free to check it out at http://www.eflame.com/fma, please forward your enquiries and comment to this thread.
btw, it's free and will always be in beta.
Cheers.

EDIT
You can now find the source-code and the latest executables of the open-source versions of this fabulous software at @ SourceForge or @ Xinium

The software looks great ... thanks by the way.
But... for some reason it won't work on my T68m, I have both Ericssons XTNDConnect PC and Mobile Action's T68 Handset Manager which work fine on my I.R. MA600 (on COM1)
I've tried most baud rates, will try again after a reboot maybe (just in case?)
PS
I'm on XP-Pro/OfficeXP and every MS patch going.
T68M = R2A013

Sorry it doesn't work for you
I presume MA's Handset Manager uses direct serial port access, and since it works, the port is not locked by Ericsson's MPM.
Could you elaborate more on your problem? At which point it stops? Also try running the software with "-debug" (without the quote) and email me the debug windows output.

Hi warren! Thnx nd dwnloaded nd testd ur program with an R520 via infra. Got a prblm in that aftr a few seconds of d mobile agent attemptng a conection with my fone, i get this connection error msg. I'm on win98se using an actisys infra
Posted by float
Hi Ying,
Please give me more clue by running the program with -debug parameter and email me the debug window output. Thx
Posted by Lethal
It worked well on my other PC (unbranded USB Data cable/charger)
Great product, looking forward to your updates!

Hi there, I already tested your program. It just working fine, but only one thing is that it can't read all the phone numbers in my SIM card. FYI.. I'm using a 64K SIM. Great tool... It would be nice if we are able to send EMS pictures.
Posted by float
Victor,
Glad you like it. EMS is not in my list to support, IMO it's crap, coz' the implementation is vendor dependent (have you try to sent EMS to Siemen/other phone?)
For SIM memory, i have no idea and i suspect the phone has limited support for 64K sim, coz' it will query for the range before starting to download. (mind sending me the debug output see if it can be solved? minus the data ofcause) I'm not using Maxis thus i can't test it myself.
Also, mind telling me what kind of connection hardware you use? Bluetooth? Which brand? (to build my compatibility list)
Posted by Victor73
Hi, actually I'm using a Hoya USB infrared adapter. Planning to get a bluetooth, any suggestion which brand to get? BTW, just for your info, I managed to sent EMS pictures to T39 user, by convert the Nokia OTA bitmap to EMS (consist of 3 part SMS), then sent it by AT command. But it is a very tedious work.. Mine to tell me where you are from. I from Kuching and currently working at KL.

ehh. I cant get this software to work. btw it looks great. i really want to test it out. can you help me on this one.
I got T68m. and i use a data cabel. when i use the "-debug" i get this

hei T_Virus,
This shows the program managed to open a connection to the T68, the respond is acknowledged, but more respond should follow, such as:
[TX] ATI
[RX] ATI
[RX] T68
[RX] OK
I have no idea why those are missing. But, you can help me to troubleshoot by using any terminal program such as Hyperterminal, try connecting to that port, and play around with those connection setting, let me know the setting which works when you type ATI and ATZ. Currently it is hardcoded to 8-N-1, FlowControl=None. (i will spend some time to make it variable if the setting is not compatible)
Ofcause, you should also check if the port is locked by other software such as Ericsson's Mobile Phone Monitor.
Mvh

Victor,
I'm staying in PJ.
BT- I would recomend TDK, if you search throught the forums, you will see Anycom and TDK are both highly recomended, but please don't expect flawless usage since they are all under development.
SIM Phonebook- since you know AT command, could you please help me to troubleshoot that 64K SIM problem? Check the debug log for more information
EMS- talk later, still not in my priority list, maybe you can help me out by saving me some time to research on EMS format...
Cheers,
floAt
Posted by T_Virus
I tried using HyperTerminal on that com port. and i connected to the phone 9600 bits per sec, 8 data bits, parity none, stop bits 1, flow control: none.
It worked fine when i typed ati and atz
ati
T68
OK
atz
OK
is what i got.
but i still cant get mobile agent to work.
that is kind of sad coz it looks like a great program.
hope you can help me.

has the software version anything to say?
I got R1B.
Posted by float
hi guys,
Thanks for all your feedback, i will soon (when i have time
) put together some fixes/test attempt to fix your problem. It will include:
1. XP theme support (done)
2. remove CTS check, this might solve some connection problem (done)
3. TODO: introduce a variable delay between 'connected' and first command (this might solve Tommy's problem)
4. TODO: make 'Inactivity Timeout' user adjustable (this might solve Tommy's problem)
5. TODO: Read SIM Phonebook parts by parts (Victor's findings is the phone will not return more than 24 entries at once, i think this happens to me too, just i didn't bother much about the SIM phonebook as i don't use it, this will be a workaround)
6. TODO: add timestamp in debug window to ease troubleshooting
Lethal: maybe all you need for your the other PC is Ircomm (MPM has native support for IRDA, and maybe MA's software does too)
Ying, Ollie: still waiting for your feedback.
Victor: reason for Protection error on exit (with connection) is still unknown
I will not add more feature (only to solve problem) untill i have completelly revamp the architecture)
p/s: i now have about 12 users reported success in using the software
Cheers,
floAt

I use com2 on Ma600 but i cannot get the software too communicate with the fone at all. I have a datacable for a 3310 plugged into com3 (the fone is not connected though) and when i select that just to make sure, it seems to do more than it does wit my ma600!!!
People who have got it to work do u use Infra-red bluetooth or what?
Thx.
Posted by T_Virus
Just post a message when you have updated the program. ThanxTommy
Posted by float
Any MA600/IR user please try out:
http://www.ircomm2k.de/
I haven't try it myself, one of my friend had it sucessfull.
I presume MA600 problem is, althought the unit is connected to COM1 for example, it is used by the driver. As my software does not directly support IRDA, it has to talk to the phone via Virtual Serial Port.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
Cheers,
floAt
Posted by T_Virus
when will you fix this?
thanks
Tommy
Posted by juming
maybe since I use T68i then mobileagent stop working after ATI on debug mode, and give result connection error, this may caused reply from phone difference than expected in program.This because IrDA icon on syst tray giving activity when I push connect button.

Ehi the link seem does not working...
Help!
Posted by float
i've just check it out and the link is working.
As for the updates, I was away for business trip to Manila for a few days, will try to work on it ASAP
Posted by T_Virus
ehh. when will you update your prog floAt?
are you still alive?
Tommy
Posted by GOwin
@float, i hope your visit to manila was fruitful. Is ircomm freeware? I havent checked your link yet, am posting from my mobile.
Posted by T_Virus
@GOwin
I checked out the software a couple of weeks ago and it looked like it was a freeware. But i only downloaded some german crap, and as i dont understand german i really dont know. but there is a english version, but i never downloaded that coz i really dont have IR. I only used to have it at work
Tommy

T_virus, thanks for the info
Posted by laffen
The only way I could get my Satellite Pro to communicate with my phones via IrDA was to install the ircomm2k driver. It's not possible to change the IrDA speed in the Satellite BIOs so I couldn't transfer >1500byte elements to the phone. Had to use cable. But the ircomm2k solved my problem.

Posted by GOwin
aren't there any ircomm versions (or other freeware virtual serial port drivers) for win98?
Posted by arnoldc
@GOwin, check out the link for IRCOMM in my sticky post in this section.
Posted by GOwin
Thanks arnoldc. That's probably a new info in the sticky post.
Thanks again:)

Hi Float
I also have a failure to connect to a T68m but only when using a data cable. I can connect using HyperTerminal and get the same responses as others i.e.
ati
T68
OK
atz
OK
The program seems to work fine when using IR though but always reports a connection failure on serial.
Cheers Mike
Posted by GOwin
@arnoldc
the IRcomm link in the sticky post is meant for Windows 2000 users. My laptop still uses win98.

I am using Xp with a data-cable.
All the other programs are working fine, Hyperterminal is answering normally. I also tried setting the comport to Flowcontrol: none, which didn't help. Any ideas? I really would like to use your program.

just the software i've been looking for
! works great -no issues. unlike the problems i've had with the ericsson & XTNDconnect stuff that came with the phone-that SW was A$$!
my setup:
R520m - Troy Windport 
bluetooth card - Win XP pro.
by the way- Bluetooth is THE only way to go -sending SMS while the r520 sits in the desk charger is just cool!
Thanks floAt! -looking forward to updates!

Guys,
Sorry for MIA for quite a while
I've uploaded the latest release 0.04 in my website, but the webpage is not updated, just follow the downloading and you should get the latest version (500+KB)
Not all the fixed/updates which i mentioned earlier are done in this release. Here, i've:
1. TRY to fix connection problem for some of the users. However this is all most as far as i can go unless i have the physical unit to troubleshoot.
2. XP theme support, it now looks better in XP
3. Inspired by my China's business trip last week, i've added UCS-2 (Unicode) coding scheme. It is now capable of sent/receive UCS-2 16bit SMS; tested with Chinese Simplified and Traditional, should work with others too as long as (1) it is defined in UCS-2 (2) the receiving phone supports it (3) the receiving user can understand it
4. Some small bug fix, faster SMS phonebook lookup, Debug log with timestamp, etc etc...
Let me know...
Cheers,
floAt

i remember win98 expose virtual serial port for IR devices... they remove it in w2k coz' it is problematic, and some architectural sh*t.
You shouldn't need a 3rd party IRCOMM driver.

am having trouble downloading v0.04. it say's i completed the download, but winzip won't open it
Posted by float
Gowin,
I've just double checked the size and downloaded via another computer and it works. Maybe you were disconnected from the server halfway thru your download and your browser think it is completed (when you retry, it will just retrive from the cache)
Try again after clearing your cache or use other download agent such as GetRight.

hi float>
great software works better than the ericsson stuff!
would it be possible to make it support long text messages so it can be used to send tones etc?
thanks daz

About the long msg, i tried to search for the info briefly, but can't seems to find any info about it.
Could anyone show me how?

Can anyone else download it? dazz?
Drop me an email if you still having problem, i could email it to you.

Hello,
sorry, but the new version still doesn't work for me. Same error:
18:17:11:635 Connecting...
18:17:11:845 [TX] ATI
18:17:26:846 Disconnecting...

Hyperterminal works great. Any Sugestions? Maybe you could do an Mobile-Phonemonitor-Interface like in Sendfile?
Thanx
Posted by dazmcc
v.04 downloaded fine,and runs fine but unlike the previous version it seems if you disconnect then try to reconnect it wont work?
itll only reconnect after a restart?
Posted by float
damzz:
i myself is the biggest user, and i've been connecting and disconnect all the time. I've uncheck Auto-reconnect by the way, found that the Bluetooth driver can't take too much retry.
Please try to troubleshoot for me, as i can't recreate the problem here.
Ankohler:
I really have no idea, maybe other software such as MPM locked the port?
From the start i'm trying to avoid MPM although it seems getting better now. I'm happy with direct serial connection for the time being, it is faster and less hassle (if you can get FMA work, you will know what i mean). Sorry
Cheers,

Does that means Connect after Disconnect no problem too? It is funny why a single EXE distribution had this install/reinstall problem
