[Bitpim-devel] Calendar on VX4500 problem

[Peter Dufault]

BitPim CVSd at 13:00EST
Mac OS X 10.3.3
LG VX4500

I tried the calendar today, it is indeed under the Voice menu for some
reason.

First thing I noted is that though the entry I created at bitpim the
other day is sent back and forth to the phone, the phone doesn't see
it.

Secondly I created a simple entry on the phone (Text "test" from 2:00
to 3:00 PM today) and then tried to get the calendar using BitPim. I
received this message on the startup terminal screen:

calendar 2
wallpaper not requested
ringtone not requested
/Users/dufault/work/bitpim/prototypes.py:188:
FutureWarning: x<<y losing bits or changing sign will return a long in
Python 2.4 and up
res|=buf.getnextbyte()<<shift



And this exception:

An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.

First thing I noted is that though the entry I created at bitpim the
other day is sent back and forth to the phone, the phone doesn't see
it.

Yes, that is because the calendar file is in a different format.
There is no sync protocol for the calendar. BitPim just reads
and writes a file on the filesystem. Being able to do so doesn't
mean the file is valid for the phone.

to 3:00 PM today) and then tried to get the calendar using BitPim. I
FutureWarning: x<<y losing bits or changing sign will return a long in

Ignore all warnings like that. They are very annoying but it is not
a bug in the code.

It looks like they have made each record one byte longer. Please
delete the calendar files as detailed in my earlier message
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.bitpim.devel/229
and reboot the phone. Then make some events where the name is
as long as possible.

See if you can figure out where the extra byte(s) went.
The existing description is in p_lgvx4400 as
scheduleevent.

I've attached a hex dump of the sch/schedule.dat file. I'll look at
this more later, but this shows some of the ways it has changed. The
description is only 35 bytes long now. Hopefully the earlier fields
are the same. I'll decode this when I have some time.
