SonyEricsson Phones

**FoxRunner** · 07-28-2004, 12:17 AM

Ok SO I wasnt sure what to do here.
I would love to get phone control working on this but Im not sure where to go for help....

As stated I have a Sony Ericsson T608 Blue tooth enabled CDMA phone

visit for information
www.t608.com

and

http://www.sprintpcsinfo.com/modules...howpage&pid=47

On to where I am...
Bluetooth set up and talking to the best of my knowledge via Dlink dongel
Seial Port connects on COM7
So I tried the Com7 selection on the setting and Sony Ericsson, and english
The PhoneControl does make my BT icon turn green to indicat connection.
But I get an error "Communication Timeout. Make sure that port isnt in use."

So I tested the Hyper terminal with all the same settings and I did get back Sony Ericsson.

At this point I am at a loss of where to go.

Please guide me.

Thanks

I don't want to rain in on your parade (and I think you know this information already if you have been up with t608.com)....but, Sprint crippled the BT use on the T608 by capping the data amount you can transfer when using the phone as a modem. I think they had Sony put other restrictions on the phone as well....Have they changed this policy since???

Ohh trust me...
Just having a BT headset make my days sunny...

But as far as the 3mb cap... It is really a shadey subject....
If you were to buy the phone outright they would cap it. But if you already had a sprint plan with vision it was the job of the CS rep to implement it...
I have checked and I dont not have a cap...

At the same time however I also dont plan on using it for browseing the web and etc via my carputer...

Just having one of the 10k possible BT Sprint Phone Rocks.
Yes true
Phonecontrol working with it would be better.

If you mean you did the "AT+GMI" and you've got "SonyEricsson" then please try this: Connect to the phone manually (right click on the BT Icon in the SysTray) and if it says ok, start PhoCo.
If this is working, set the <Timeout> in the PhoneCtl.Config.xml to 40 or 60 seconds.

Hey guys, Just wondering if any of you had any ideas to why PhoneControl does not start up for me?? When I load up the program the little (P) goes straight to the task bar then turns to a lightning bolt a few seconds later...

I am using a Sony Ericsson T637 and I got a IOGEAR blue tooth dongle. Do I need to get a different dongle?

Thanks for any help guys.. I cant wait to get this working because I just got my Zenarc 7"TSV

Peace,

Sean B.

I'm using the SE T610 with the MS stack (XP SP2). Occasionally I forget my phone at home so, when the 'puter starts it cannot find the serial port to talk to the phone and a modal error dialog opens. The software stops looking for the port so when i retrieve the phone I'm unable to use it again unless I restart the application. Why not notifying the error on the PhoneCo window and keep searching for the COM port? (this is a common problem using BT serial devices)
Cheers
