[Bluez-users] OT: SonyEricsson K700i addressbook and OBEX over Bluetooth

[Bluez-users] OT: SonyEricsson K700i addressbook and OBEX over Bluetooth

[Charles Bueche]

Hi,

sorry if this a bit off-topic, but I didn't find help elsewhere and I
thought someone here might have seen the same problems.

I just got my SonyEricsson K700i from Swisscom, and I'm experimenting
with bluez and user-space tools (kde-bluetooth).

It works quite well, I can send VCARD's using the OBEX Object Push, and
the phone gets them well. The only glitch is that the file must me named
*.vcf for the phone to consider it as address records.

I have two problems left : 

1. OBEX File Transfer (eg to get pictures from the pone) : in Konqueror,
using kde-buetooth, the selection of "obex://[btaddr]:7/" brings up
"Authentication Required". From my analysis of the source code, it might
be caused by the transport layer (bluez), but not sure.

2. UID field in VCARD's : if I send a single VCARD in a file for a
record already present in the phone, it asks "overwrite y/n ?". If I
send a file containing two or more VCARD's for records already present
in the phone, it duplicate them. I added a UID fields as recommended by
the Vcard spec, the phone seem to ignore it.

Hints welcome, regards,
Charles

this is some kind of stupid, but normal for most phones.

Check the hcidump and ask the KDE-Bluetooth developers.

Sounds like a bug in the phone. Tell SE about it ;)

I will try to contact them directly. Sadly, their list server seem to be
down.

I had the same idea, unfortunately, to get in touch with a developer,
one need to pay a good amount of money. For $0, you only get access to
user forums :-/

Thanks anyway, best regards,
Charles
