[Bitpim-devel] LGVX 4500 Support

[Roger Skildum]

Roger,
I Finally got around to subscribing to the developers list so i will move here to try to help with support for the LG 4500. Unfortunately the only working copy of BitPim I have currently is at work so have to try to do what ever testing I can do there when I get a chance. I will post a separate post asking for guidance in getting my developers version of BitPim running on Linux which I use at home.

You were correct, not that I doubted you, about the fields in the phone book not being in the correct places. I normally just use name and number and that seems to be transfered and displayed OK. I did notice that when I put in more data some of it ended up in the wrong spot.

When I tried to use the calendar I got much different response. If I tried to get phone data I got a error that I will add to the bottom of this. If I put data into BitPim and then try to send it to the phone I did not get any errors but it would erase any saved appointments I had in the phone, Not good. Here is the error I get when trying to get calendar phone data:


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

I did notice that when I put in more data some of it ended
up in the wrong spot.

The easiest thing to do is make a new phonebook entry and fill out
every single field to the maximum length it allows. That does
get a little tedious on the phone interface, but has to be done :-)

They have changed the field sizes for the calendar as well. You
will need to do the same thing - make an entry with the maximum
length for each field and then have a look at it.

Yes, that is because it replaces the calendar file. You won't get
errors no matter what you replace it with, but the phone will have
a different opinion when it later reads from the file.
