Nokia 6300 with bluetooth and USB cable

[Dan Tihelka]

Hallo,

let mi say that I KNOW that 6300 model IS NOT under supported models listed at 
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config.

My question(s) is, if "is it possible that the phone works (at least 
partially) with bluetooth, but not with USB cable. Here is the whole story:

I have tried to connect the phone with PC via USB cable and I have tried to 
use gnokii to access it. The 'dmesg' output looks like:

[ 3185.196000] usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 3185.372000] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 3185.856000] drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: Ignoring extra header, type -3, 
length 4
[ 3185.856000] cdc_acm 3-2:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[ 3185.860000] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm
[ 3185.860000] drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.25:USB Abstract Control Model 
driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters

and '.gnokiirc' file configured for USB looks like:

[global]
port = /dev/ttyACM0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = dku2libusb
use_locking = no
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/

[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]

[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off

But the attempt to do 'gnokii --identify' or 'gnokii --getphonebook SM 1 end' 
fails with message:

GNOKII Version 0.6.14
Telephone interface init failed: Function or connection type not supported by 
the phone.
Quitting.
Function or connection type not supported by the phone.

I have made the device writable to anyone:  ls -all /dev/ttyACM0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 166, 0 2007-08-02 21:37 /dev/ttyACM0

The same message appered even for 'dku2' and 'dku5' connection settings. The 
file .gnokii-errors is, however, empty. How to enable logging? I gues it is 
enabled in the config, isn't it? Or where the log is supposed to be located?


OK, now go to the even stranger think. I used the phone with bluetooth (I do 
not have bluetooth on my computer, so I wish the USB connection working; for 
the experiment I have borrowed USB bluetooth). I have changed the config to 
be:

[global]
port = ---address of bluetooth---
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = bluetooth
use_locking = no
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/

[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678

[disconnect_script]

[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off


I have started and configured bluetooth and misteriously, the 
command 'gnokii --identify' worked:

GNOKII Version 0.6.14
IMEI         : 356261011722228
Manufacturer : Nokia
Model        : Nokia 6300
Product name : Nokia 6300
Revision     : V 04.70

Similarly the command 'gnokii --getphonebook SM 1 end' provides the following 
output (shortened):

GNOKII Version 0.6.14
2. Name: MEDLIN ROS.
Group: Family
3. Name: RAMPA
Group: Family
...


So, what is wrong with USB connection? Why it does not work when bluetooth 
works? What to check or how to provide you with usefull debug output? What to 
do/how to help to get it working?

And why the --getphonebook  does not print the phone numbers and why it 
prints 'family' group for all adress book items (the people listed does not 
belong to the family group in phone :-)). However, I expect that this may be 
caused by the fact that the phone is oficially "unsupported".

Thank you very much fo yor time and help.
