HowTo: Use MyPhoneExplorer under GNU/Linux (English Version)

Gast

Yes i used the script

Hooray, the new v1.7 is out. Any idea when will the wine version be released? So looking forward to the new features... Smile

Gast

Be patient

Gast

You can install the normal 1.7 - Version. Just the vb6-runtime has to be installed and it's good if msxml v3 or higher is installed.
Although, you can just use the "stable connection".

Hi guys.

First, thanks for the script, it's really useful & interesting.
Second,sorry, my English sucks :þ
Last point : I'm a French bash developer, & I was improving a little bit your script ( finding some bugs ) & adding some bash tests.
Thanks you to take it easy, I only want everybody to run Sony-ericsson ( I have a w810i working, but not very stable ) successfully.
I think the code is better now, contact me if you want some details.
Maybe we can work on it together Smile

See : http://www.sputnick-area.net/ftp/myphoneinstaller3.2.sh

Enjoy.

Features & improvements :
- nasty bash code redone
- bug with *sudo done
- missing tests added
- run winescp is needed
- run mkdod is dev/ttyACM0 doesn't exist
- & more.

Todo :
- create variables for the URLs of wgets
- add some error messages

Hi,

a wrote a new version from scratch. script include MPE-1.7.
It should work both for USB ( tested ) and Bluetooth ( Bluetooth not tested ), but most part of code coming right from old version.
There's less dll, just what needed.
There's more tests if something fails.
We run winecfg if needed.
I have tested many times without ~/.wine.

Step by step :
- Open a terminal
- backup your old ~/.wine :
cp ~/.wine ~/.wine.$(date +%Y%m%d)
( or remove it )
- type :
wget http://www.sputnick-area.net/ftp/myphoneinstaller3.3.bash
bash myphoneinstaller3.3.bash

Done Wink

AFAIK you do not need to copy any dlls with version 1.7.0 - try it on your pc without it (it worked on my system).
I think I will test your script and upload it onto FJs Webspace then if you agree with that.

Gast

I've already tested the script:

1) What is todo in winecfg? Any hint would be good.

2) I only use bluetooth - when i had a very short look on your script I've seen you have code to handle bluetooth, but how or when does the script jump into this code section?
The script asks me to plug in my phone, so I activated bluetooth, said yes - then it ends and in the console stands the line with "[...]need to call mknod[...]".
When I choose "no" it ends with no message.

Gast

weinbi :
The script is updated. ( the test to plug in the phone is modified )
http://www.sputnick-area.net/ftp/myphoneinstaller3.4.bash
Please try again.
When it's done successfully, yes, you can add it in your download repository here.

Everybody :
Notes :
What's working well on my SE W810I : ( or close to well ) :
- Download contacts from SIM
- Download contacts from phone ( sometimes up or down, see error bellow )
- Call list
- Messages ( SMS )
What's not working :
- Organizer
- Files

When something isn't working, I get this error :

Sometimes, when I get this one :

I need to plug my USB phone in another socket.

Gast

Seems to be better - the dialoge with the question about bluetooth was here this time.

But at the end there is something which should not happen:

Code:

Binding Hex address...
myphoneinstaller3.4.bash: line 51: kdesudo: command not found
Done
Restarting bluetooth...
myphoneinstaller3.4.bash: line 51: kdesudo: command not found
myphoneinstaller3.4.bash: line 51: kdesudo: command not found
myphoneinstaller3.4.bash: line 51: kdesudo: command not found
Connecting to phone...
myphoneinstaller3.4.bash: line 51: kdesudo: command not found
If this device hasn't been paired with this computer, you should receive a pairing message now...
myphoneinstaller3.4.bash: line 147: /dev/rfcomm0: Keine Berechtigung
user@pc:~/Desktop> Found bluetooth device :)
Hex = *!deleted by weinbi!*
Name = K800
Binding Hex address...
/home/user/MyPhoneExplorer.bash: line 23: de_su: command not found
Done
Restarting bluetooth...
/home/user/MyPhoneExplorer.bash: line 26: de_su: command not found
/home/user/MyPhoneExplorer.bash: line 28: de_su: command not found
Running MyPhoneExplorer now...
/home/user/MyPhoneExplorer.bash: line 32: cd: /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MyPhoneExplorer: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
wine: cannot find './MyPhoneExplorer.exe'

Any ideas for the "su-problem"? Wink

EDIT:
However, i have another problem (has nothing to do with your script directly):
When i start my pc, open MPE and try to connect i get an error because i don't have the needed rights. Then i use "chown username:group /dev/rfcomm0" or "chmod...", then it works.
Can i get around this? Shall i add my user to a special group? I couldn't find anything about that...

@sputnick: I think the errormessage NO-CARRIER has nothing to do with Wine. It could be a bug in your phone. Please do this:
Contacts-Options-Advanced-Backup to M.S. and then Contacts-Options-Advanced-Restore from M.S.

Gast

i just updated to v1.7 and syncing with Google Calendar isn't working any more...
the first time i synced after the update, it hung for about a minute during updating of the organiser... now the program seems to think that it's fine but when i sync then it just acts like there are no changes to be made

Gast

Disable the setting "Compare only edited items" in the extended settings of Google-Sync.

Gast

Today, all is working well. Organizer, files, sim, adres book from phone...
I have only do what fj recommend ( but fails ) :

Zitat:

Possibly there's something else, maybe nothing to do with the clue above.
I use USB. The script version 3.4 work out of the box for me.

Nice Very Happy
