Thread: .net Bluetooth Mobilephone Plugin

Hi guys, I have a slight problem with the plugin. It connects to my HTC Desire, I can recieve and make calls through contacts, and I can hear and speak through my PC. The only problem is that I can't dial through the on screen keypad. Numbers 0 to 9 and C(del) don't work, but the asterisk, hash and all the other buttons work. This is the popup I get

SetErrorScr;Mobilephone.NET;Exception;System.NullR eferenceException:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.at MobilePhone.RRExtension.ProcessCommand(String& CMD, Object& frm);5

I'm using Bluesoleil 8 and Carwing dynamic lite skin. I have .net 2.0 and VC runtime installed. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure the first time I ran it the numbers worked, I think there was a security thing use to come up and I had to enter 1234 on the keypad and it worked but now that doesn't come up anymore.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Tried this some more. I can not get the phone to give up anything other than bluetooth addy and name in bluesoleil (no service list or anything), and I cannot get the plugin to connect to the phone. I had it running for an hour and all the debug file says is
02.02.2011 03:05:50:Info : Trying to connect to phone.

have you set the mac address. Have you paired your phone through BS.

Yes, and yes. But as said even though bluesoleil shows the phone as paired (with the phone name) it's unable to list any services on it. Not sure if that's a problem though, never used bluesoleil. Using BlueSoleil 8.0.338.0 on WinXP so can't really see why it shouldn't work.

I'm having the same issue with my HTC Evo Shift (Android 2.2), i'm using the ccPhoneTool it pairs with the phone, but then when I try to make a call it tries to connect and it can't. It worked like a charm before with my older phone, a Samsung Instinct. I have the latest version of bluesoleil as well.

Pairing and Connecting are two differnt things. I have my EVO Shift working perfectly with the plugin. First, make sure you have it paired with BlueSoleil. Tap MENU>>Settings>>WIRELESS & NETWORKS, turn your Phone's Bluetooth off, then turn it back on, now tap BLUETOOTH SETTINGS. Tap SCAN FOR DEVICES and it will detect your CarPC. If it finds your CarPC, it will be listed under Bluetooth Devices with the name of the PC. Under the name it will say Paired but not Connected. Tap and hold where it says Connected but not paired and a popup menu appears. Tap on Options and check both PHONE and MEDIA, then above click Connect. Now go back to Bluetooth settings and you will see under bluetooth devices "CONNECTED TO PHONE AUDIO". If everything went ok, you should be able to use the phone now with the plugin.

Great. A good tip comes along and now I can't get bluesoleil to connect to my usb dongle anymore. Haven't given up on much so far, but this is seriously getting at me.

Anyone know if bluesoleil has a debug log I can check somewhere?

I am looking to sell my car in the next few weeks so I took some time to clean up my carpc to get all my personal stuff off and make sure it works perfectly for the buyer.

I formatted the HDD and did a fresh install of everything and only installed the software that is needed to run the apps that are used. Runs much faster and less lag than before (had a few issues)
Installed not stripped version of XP Pro w/ SP2, latest version of riderunner, latest BlueSoleil, VC++ redist, .net 3.5, mobilephone 1.17 and so on.

I have used version 1.15 for awhile now with no issues so I know it did work at one time

The Mobilephone setup says that VC++ is not installed but it is, then it says that i cannot register the dll. I registered manually according to the readme file and it said it was successful, but it still doesn't work. RR plugin manager says that the plugin is there and enabled. Phone is connected to BlueSoleil with no problem. I tried installing version 1.15 again and that didn't make any difference. I don't know where to go from here.

Code:

2/19/2011 1:47:05 PM:Info   : Starting MobilePhone version:1.17.4057.35328
2/19/2011 1:47:05 PM:Info   : Current directory: C:\Program Files\RideRunner\Plugins\Mobilephone.NET
2/19/2011 1:47:05 PM:Info   : Current directory: C:\Program Files\RideRunner\Plugins\MobilePhone.Net\
2/19/2011 1:47:05 PM:Info   : Using ATSMS for phone connection.
2/19/2011 1:47:05 PM:Fatal  : Exception caught while loading ini parameters: 6

It says using ATSMS, but in the installation I definitely chose bluetooth.

The error message below in RR occurs when I click any button on the number pad

My phone book (MobilePhone_PC) is no accessible from RR

Hi.

I think the installer has a problem finding newer versions of the vc++ redist. i will ave to look into how to deal with that. If you have it installed though it shouldn't matter.
Its more worrying that the installer failed to register the dll. Can you check you have a mobilephone.ini and make sure it is set correctly. I may have to rejig the installer to register the dll last so if it fails everything else is still there. The null ref is because it thinks its using atsm. Make sure the ini is set correctly and that you've set you mac address.

I wonder wether the dll failed to register because of the .net version your using. Do you have the regasm in the folder shown in your picture 6? It may be its only in a 3.5 folder.
