[edit] Some general notes for Gammu core
[edit] Nokia section
[edit] 3210
2'nd ringtone can't be set. Well, I don't know, how to avoid it. Use --nokiacomposer to enter manually ringtone.
[edit] 3310/3315
- names from phonebook are empty. To avoid it you need to have higher than 4.06 firmware in phone.
- can't save to phone calendar notes other than reminder. 5.11 and higher seems not to be able to save notes other than reminder (in older firmware it was unofficial too).
[edit] 6210 (6250/7110 too ?)
- when saving some SMS like logo or ringtone to phone and forward them from phone's menu, they're damaged. It's NOT Gammu fault. Easy test to show it: save such SMS to SIM inside older Nokia phone like 6150. Forward from 6150 menu. It's OK. Put SIM to 6210. Forward from 6210 menu. It's NOT OK.
- when saving unread sms to phone, no unread sms envelope is shown. Sorry. Ask Nokia, if it's possible to have it.
- after removing operator logo, it's still visible. Have to reboot phone. Thank Nokia for it.
- No info about incoming calls or SMS. Use option in config.h to enable it. Be prepared for some small problems with phone then. This series is very weak here.
- Phone restarts few seconds after ending connection (before restart phone display is frozen) I don't know how to avoid it. It's only visible sometimes.
[edit] 6230i
Connects, shares data (not images?) Phone's firmware reported as 3.62, 04/11/2005. Debian Lenny.
[edit] 6310i 4.80
Gammu shows more SMS saved than menu in phone Phone firmware is buggy. Gammu shows the truth. You can get the locations of these SMS and delete them, if want. Update firmware to 5.10 to avoid problems
[edit] 7110
can't get binary ringtones from phone. upgrade firmware in phone. Last one is 5.01 and it can do it.
[edit] all Nokia phones with caller groups
I had a backup file from another model (with caller groups too). After restoring my backup I can't set ringtone from phone menu or they're different than in source phone. Each Nokia model can have different ID for (the same) ringtones. IDs are not saved in Gammu source for each model, because now (for DCT3 phones) it's idiotically easy to change them and such list won't be correct. Because of this, you need to backup caller groups again to text backup file and remove lines with ringtone ID. When you restore it, you will be able to select it from phone menu.
[edit] all Nokia phones with profiles
TODO few details - caller groups and names
[edit] all Nokia phones with voice tags
after restore I've lost my voice tags. Well, current version of Gammu contains backup/restore for voice tags for all Nokia phones with SMS memory (like 6210 or 6310). If you made backup using earlier versions, they can be lost (not visible in phonebook and phone shows problems during editing or using voice tags). This is very weak thing in Nokia firmware.
When it happened with DCT3 phone (like 6210)
* the best solution is flashing phone again.
With DCT4 (6310i 4.80) I resolved it this way (it can be tried with DCT3 too):
* made backup of phonebook. Added many voice tags info to backup file (with numbers 1,2,3,4,...,20). Later made restore. Entered in phone menu to each such entry and changed voice tag, later deleted it. After it voice tag memory was clean.
[edit] all Nokia phones with SMS memory
In AT mode Gammu shows Outbox sms as Inbox. Well, in fact the only information returned from the phone is that SMS is Read/UnRead/Sent/UnSent. Normally Read/Unread can be only in Inbox and Sent/UnSent in Outbox.
Firmware in Nokia 6310/6310i (probably other too) show received SMS from other than Inbox folders and there is no way to check, where they are saved. Gammu establish (like normally), that Read/Unread is Inbox and other Outbox. It can make such problems, but it's better than nothing.
[edit] all DCT3 phones
Phone (or rather Gammu) doesn't inform about CB (Cell Broadcast) By default this feature is disabled (see option in config.h), because some people had problems with it - their phones didn't answer for command enabling this feature or enabled after (too) long timeout. I personally didn't have such problems. If want, test it. If works, be happy :-)
[edit] DCT3 phones (3330, 3410, 5210, 5510, 62xx, ...) with WAP settings
It's very messy (random) in these phones and in some situations it can give incorrect results (like mixing sets from different sets).
[edit] can't transfer ringtones in binary format from DCT3 to DCT4 phone
You can only try to convert binary DCT3 ringtone to RTTL (using --copyringtone or other than Gammu software) and upload to DCT4 phone as RTTL ringtone. No binary DCT3 -> binary DCT4 converter available for now.
[edit] DCT4 phones
I don't have all info about calendar notes included in Gammu backup and output. When running ./configure, use --newcalendar. If this works for Your phone, please report model and firmware version. In version 1.10.xx I cant use --newcalendar :(
[edit] DCT4 phones with filesystem
I uploaded file to phone, phone says "format unknown". Unfortunately, if there is communication problem during uploading file and (for example) some file part is resent by Gammu, phone can recognize it incorrectly. Please try to upload file again and (if problem still happen) report to Gammu author(s).
[edit] AT section
[edit] Siemens S55
Works in AT mode, with basic features (mainly, phonebook management).
Tested Gammu commands that work:
- --identify
- --getmemory ME
- --getdatetime
connection=at2400 model=at
Gammu version 1.27.0
[edit] Siemens S65
Sending SMS works, although the GSM seems to break things from time to time. Restarting the GSM fixes things, might be a buggy firmware version.
Use: at/blueat
Gammu version 1.20.0
[edit] Benq-Siemens S68
- Working (tested):
- Sending/getting/deleting/saving(default to SIM) SMS (both SIM and phone's internal memory, reports work) (NO! multi-sms messages)
- Getting time
- Setting time (with problems)
- Monitor mode
Use: at/blueat
- Does not work:
- Setting the time through gammu will reset the time-zone (to default value, usually to GMT, but it depends on the firmware)
- Setting/getting alarm time ("Function not supported by phone.")
- Sending multi-SMS messages
Gammu version: 1.12.0 Edited:21:11, 19 July 2007 (GMT)

- --monitor
- --getdatetime
- --backup
Config:
- Bluetooth:
- connection = bluerfat
- model =
- port = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --> the bluetooth id (mac) of the phone
- Cable:
- connection = at115200
- model =
- port = /dev/xxxx --> the AT device created by the usb cable (example: /dev/ttyUSB0)
For more config info, see (and contribute to):

- --dialvoice
- --identify
- --getmemory ME
- --getallmemory ME
- --monitor
- --getdatetime
- --backup
Config:
- Cable:
- connection = at19200

[edit] Motorola SLVR L9
- Cable:
- Device = /dev/ttyACM0
- Connection = at115200
- Model = auto
Works: reading SMS, calls, contacts Not tested: sending SMS, writing data to phone Tested using: OpenSUSE 11.1, gammu 1.20, wammu 0.28, python-gammu 0.26
[edit] Siemens M20
Gammu incorrectly reads SMS with alphanumeric numbers. Well, M20 doesn't have correctly support for such numbers at all. Gammu tries to avoid it and construct SMS from such incorrect frame. This works 99% of the time.
[edit] SonyEricsson T230
connection should be at9600. The phone contains a bug limiting speed.
[edit] SonyEricsson T310
I can't backup Notes & I don't have numbers in PhoneCall ToDo Phone firmware issues. Thanks SE
[edit] SonyEricsson K610i
Works for the most part, except for IncomingCall events, blueobex, blueat etc can be used for connection. blueobex will allow the use of IncomingCall events but after making several attempts at calling the event doesn't seem to work. Also SMS is kind of wonky so you'll have to specify folders and locations.
[edit] SonyEricsson K800i
everything works through bluetooth if you set in file->preferences->Connection tab the connection method to 'blueat' and model to 'obex' (tested)
[edit] SonyEricsson W810i
everything works through bluetooth if you set in file->preferences->Connection tab the connection method to 'blueat' and model to 'obex' (tested with wammu in ubuntu JauntyJackalope)
[edit] SonyEricsson Z610i
Works fine to retrieve sms and contacts from the phone, but not to retrieve mms (not supported for SE?) or contacts from SIM (easily worked around by exporting to phone first.)
[edit] SonyEricsson K750i
Should be fully supported since Gammu 1.09.00, use at (or irdaat or blueat) connection and it should give you access to all data in phone (including filesystem).
[edit] SonyEricsson P1i
Works with usb: use modprobe cdc-acm (opensuse 10.2), conn = at115200 or at19200, port = /dev/ttyACM1, model = auto, Gammu version: 1.25.90
Works(tested):
- Retrieve Info
- Retrieve Calls
- Retrieve Contacts
- Retrieve Messages
- Edit Contact: seems ok for both ME and SM
- Status bar (Battery level OK, Signal OK, Time OK)
Not working (tested):
- Retrieve Calendar: Error, phone doesn't support this function
- Retrieve Todos: Error, phone doesn't support this function
- New Message: send message (desc: Unknown Error, func: AddSMS, code: 27)
- New Contact: writing to SM or ME (desc: Unknown Error, func: AddMemory, code: 27)
Note: kmobiletools can read SMS from P1i via USB.
- How about reporting problems to mailing list or bug tracker? Anyway I think most of those issues should be fixed in recent versions, try using them from http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=home:Nijel&q=gammu -- Nijel 09:18, 6 December 2007 (CET)
