[Bitpim-devel] Sanyo phonebook mode

[Roger B. <ro...@ro...>]

Stephen,

Are you sure the Sanyo phonebook mode code is correct?

I seriously doubt that AT$LGDMGO would work on a non-LG phone?
Or maybe it is always in the mode so most of that function
doesn't get called.

Roger:

I am sure that sending AT$LGDMGO to a Sanyo phone doesn't do anything. 
I was also sure of that when I started adding Sanyo support to BitPim.

When I came to this project, I had a perl script that could read
information out of the phone.  But in between runs of the script, I had
to power cycle my phone or it wouldn't work.  When I started with
BitPim, I just copied the mode changing code from the LG4400.  I didn't
really understand it, but it had the magic feature that I didn't have to
reboot my phone in between BitPim runs.  A big plus when debugging! 
Since it worked, I left it alone and didn't look back.  Cleaning that up
before 0.7 would be a good idea.

What is the difference between AT$LGDMGO and AT$QCDMG on the LG phones?

I don't personally care, as long as it works.  I was just answering someone's
question on bitpim-user (the usual complaints about phone baud rates
and how slowly the read/write from flash) and pointed them at the code
and noticed the lgdmgo function and a call to it!

Nothing detectable on the phones I have.  I suspect that LGDMGO
may also work on LG phones that are not Qualcomm based, or that
predated Brew and filesystem access.
