[BitPim-devel] Samsung SGH-A737 (AT&T)

[Kevin L. <kev...@gm...>]

Hello,

I own a Samsung SGH-A737 with service from AT&T and would like to get it
working with Bitpim.  I am specifically interested in the address book
portion, though I would like everything to work if possible.  I have a data
cable, and can get the phone to show up as a removable storage device.  I
have a few questions about how to get started:

   1. The phone has three USB modes: Samsung USB, Qualcomm USB, and
   PictBridge USB.  Which should I use/try?
   - Samsung USB makes the phone visible and seems to be handled by the
      visor driver.  Bitpim sees the port but doesn't know what to do
with it (the
      phone is not in the list).
      - Qualcomm USB makes the phone visible as a device handled by the
      moto-modem driver.  There are four ports displayed in this mode, but only
      two are available.  Again, Bitpim doesn't know what to do wtih the two
      available ports.
      - PictBridge USB seems to be designed for acessing the camera
      functions of the phone, but I have so far been unsuccessful in getting
      anything more than a notification that a camera has been plugged
in.  Bitpim
      sees nothing
      2. Where should I start as far as getting basic communication working
   between the phone and Bitpim?  Specifically, are there additional tools I
   should be using to try and decipher any USB/serial traffic that shows up?

I am willing to devote some time and effort to this, but I'm kind of lost at
the moment.  Any tips or pointers in the right direction would be
appreciated.

P.S.  I use Gentoo Linux stable, although Bitpim is set to track the
unstable tree (currently version 1.0.6).

Thank you,
Kevin Lyles
