Would you please add this function in the future version? Thanks.

Bob

Glad to hear that.
I will build it into the next release. Which characterset and which font did you use?

lanpa16 · 06-12-2004, 01:18 PM

It's "BIG5". ( "gb2312" didn't work)
Thanks, Zorro.

Ok Bob, thanks. BTW: Did you do a translation to the GUI elements as well? If so, can you send me the config file with the text?

Just for the record and anyone who wants to use a Chinese character set until the new version is released, do the following:
1. Put this line as the very first line into your PhoneCtl.PB.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="BIG5"?>
2. Edit the design with Visual Designer and set the font for the phonebook to a font which supports Chinese characters.

I just did a little bit...

Characters become "???" as PhoCo reading the phonebook from my T610...

The SMS editor ( PhoneCtl.PB.xml modified )

Here goes my config. files:

PhoneCtl.Config.xml
PhoneCtl.Design1.xml

BTW, "BIG5" is for Traditional Chinese Characters used in Taiwan and Hong-Kong only.

Battery seems lost...

You have to set the appropriate characterset for the phone as well (tag <UseCharset>). The only one I can suggest is "ERICSSON"... cause I ain't see anything else in the specification

To figure out what charsets your phone is supporting, open a session with HyperTerminal and key in the command "AT+CSCS=?". If there's one listed that is more appropriate, use this one.

Battery-Symbol is only displayed, if your phone is running on battery (i.e. it's not beeing charged) and the battery level drops below 60%. Otherwise you won't see it.

Thanks for your Config file.

I'm afraid, you won't be able to get it correct frrom the phone, as long as it doesn't support a Chinese character set.

I'm not quite sure, but it might be different with the T618, which is the counterpart of the T610 for the Chinese market.

I thank you for your equally inquisitive and informative post. 0=0

interestingnick · 06-13-2004, 08:59 PM

oops, guess what i am new at this.First of all thank you for this program zorro.I have phone control up and running but am having trouble with pbconverter.Could you if its not too much trouble list the steps for dummies to using the converter on csv files.I read the documents you made but was confused,Irealise this was written mostly for bluetooth.I am not too familiar with the command prompt commands.Phone is lg vx4500 cable from verizon connectivity kit.
When i hit the pbconverter.exe command prompt appears for a second then vanishes,any help is appreciated

interestingnick · 06-13-2004, 09:01 PM

revenge of the fast typists i guess

Do not run the PBConverter.exe from your file browser but open a command shell from your "Programms->Accesories" menu and go to the PhoneControl directory.
Then take a look at my PhoCo website under "Documentation->a short refrence for..."
There is a step by step approach for converting CSV files into PhoCo phonebooks.

Hey guys and Zorro,

I'm not sure if i'm just blind or dumb, but caller id is not working for me with my Motorolla V525 (with v600 software upgrade, so its basically a v600). I have checked the documentation and searched the forums but I can't seem to find any information regarding this.

When I receive a call, the answer button lights up and I can answer it, but no caller information is displayed. When I connect to the phone with Hyperterminal and call it, only the RING command appears but the caller id string does not follow so I am assuming the problem is with my phone. But what I figured out is if the phone is ringing and caller id info is not sent with the RING string, you can still retrieve the id by retrieving the current call information with AT+CLCC while the phone is still ringing.

Zorro, if this is the case (caller id string not sent), any chance you can implement some kinda if statement in the RING event to send an AT+CLCC command to the phone to retrieve the caller id if it is not sent? Otherwise phonecontrol is (unfortunately) useless for me and I'm going to end up having to write my own just to get caller id working

I doubt the functionality would be as good as yours.

Also just another note, I read somewhere on here that retrieving the entire phonebook with the motorolla/v600 phones is not possible. Phonecontrol had no problem retrieving my entire phone book. The only problem was that it listed all the numbers as mobile numbers so multiple contacts with the same name (ie: an entry for home, work and mobile but all listed as mobile) are messed up. Phonecontrol appears to display only the first record of a 'duplicate' entry so the other #'s (although not mobile) do not appear. I fixed this just by editing the XML file for the phone book.

Thanks,
Chris

P.S. I hope this post makes sense, I"m exhausted and I think I'm rambling :P

Good research, Chris!
I'll do that within the next days.

...

Exactely this is meant with "not reading the entire phonebook". The reason is: Only the SonyEricsson will deliver all phonebook entries by using a trick. They append the type of the entry to the name e.g. "Zoran Horvat/M". The /M identifies the Mobile phone number. So they send each name multiple times with another identifier (this is because the GSM 7.07 doesn't recommend handling multiple numbers).
All other phones I've seen yet, don't do that but they will send the entry that you have marked as priority number (usually this is the mobile number).

If your V525 does send multiple entries they would have anything similar to reference what name is which number (home, mobile...). If that's true, please send me an excerpt from your phonepook readn with HyperTerminal. I will take a look on it.

awesome! thanks zorro!

I'll check out the phonebook issue as soon as I get home from work and see if I can come up with anything.
