[Bitpim-devel] Various updates

[Roger Binns]

I have committed code that does speed dial reading and writing for
the LG VX phones. It is fully tested on the VX4400 and VX6000.
I would appreciate reports for the VX4500. The VX4600 has the
code disabled as noone has come forward with information.

The documentation also needs updates. Start at
http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/testhelp/

The sections of Phones, BitFling and About BitPim and
everything within them should be up to date. If there
is stuff missing, badly worded etc please post about it.
I still need more info about the VX4500 like what actually
works.

The only thing I know works perfectly is the phone book. The
wallpapers can be sent fine and show up in the phone properly, but when
I try to get them back python segfaults. I haven't tried ringtones
yet. I'll look at that this PM and test your speed dial support
assuming my internet connection comes back up (I'm accessing email via
backup dialup) and I can CVS your latest changes.

The internet came back up, so here are a few notes.

First a Mac note: first thing I did was "Edit->Settings" and changed
the phone type from LG4400 to LG4500 and nothing was logged, either on
the startup terminal screen or the log screen, so maybe that isn't
being saved.

Essentially I did "Get/Send phonebook", "Get/send wallpaper", "Get/Send
midi files", and "Get/Send Calendar entry" without any problems, no
segfaults at all today.

Too bad I can't figure out how to look at the calendar entries on the
phone. If there is anyone else out there with a VX4500 who isn't new
to both BitPim, modern cell phones in general the VX4500 in particular
feel free to join in the testing.

Where do you view or set speed dial settings from BitPim?

When I have more time I'll go over things more, but at the basic level
things are working well. I'll try to work through the "test" directory
next. I tried to generate the tests while running under GDB, here's
the stack traceback. I doubt this helps much, I'll try to track down
where it is happening in gentestdata.py.

Nothing is logged to screen or terminal. Look at ~/.bitpim which is
what should be changed.

By this do you mean you can't figure out the user interface on
the phone, or that BitPim is getting something wrong? The UI on
the VX4400 is Menu - Organizer - Schedule. On the VX6000 it is
Menu - Tools - Schedule

The speed dial field is part of the editor for each phone number.
I suppose at some point we'll need some new UI that shows all the
speed dials together and lets you change them.

So just to confirm, you can't find any flaws in the reading and writing
of phonebook, calendar, wallpaper or ringtones?

The data it generates is more of a "stress" than a useful test. (Actually
the midis and wallpapers are fine - the phonebook and calendar are a little
extreme :-)

#5 0x01088fe4 in _wrap_delete_wxDC ()

That narrows down in the code where it is happening. Try the following
change (which I also just committed). Move the following lines out of
the wallpaper generation and put them immediately after if __name__=='__main__'

# Move wx stuff here
import wx
app=wx.PySimpleApp()

If that still causes trouble, add the following two lines after the above two.

frame=wx.Frame(None, -1, "Nothing")
frame.Show(True)

It will cause a window to appear on the screen.

I meant on the phone. I don't have the phone here, but I do have the
User's Guide and I don't see anything there about "Schedule" on the
menu tree other than "Voice Scheduler". But it did send and receive
the calendar with the entries I created on BitPim, and I saw the Ascii
going by in the log so I know it was transferred.

Correct. All worked today.

Will do next time I have the phone by the computer.

That is the right thing. The user interface is identical to the VX4400
and VX6000 except there is a voice field. You can see this stuff online.
For example the VX4500 demo is at
http://www.verizonwireless.com/multimedia/mim/lg_vx4500/VX4500.swf

Compare with the VX6000 one at
http://www.verizonwireless.com/multimedia/mim/lg_vx6000/VX6000.swf

That doesn't mean anything. The calendar is just two files, there isn't
a protocol. Consequently it would work with any phone. We need to
verify the data file location and format has remained the same. Given
the additional voice field they aren't likely to be.

The files used for the calendar on the other phones are sch/schedule.dat
and sch/schexception.dat. I recommend deleting the files and then
rebooting the phone. It will recreate them empty. Add some events
and check to see if BitPim reads them correctly.

There is one field labelled changeserial which is actually wrong and
controls how the UI on the phone shows the repeat. (Its a nice little
project for someone to fix if they want :-)

You don't need to a phone to run the test data generator.

True, but when working on the phone stuff I'd rather have the phone so
I can try things out.
