[BitPim-user] Backing up SMS from a SAMSUNG SCH-U460 (Intensity II)

[Colin K. <ku...@gm...>]

Greetings all!

I'm curious if anyone has had any luck accessing a Samsung Intensity II via BitPim. What did you do to get it working?

I see that BitPim supports the SCH-U470 and since mine is a SCH-U460, I thought I might have some success but nay.

I was able to connect to the device but unable to view the filesystem. I found this in the log:

22:46:40.283 Detect Phone result: {

}

I have programming experience if it would be possible to add support. For this reason I have also subscribed to bitpim-devel. I am not sure what is involved in adding support for another phone. I would be happy to contribute to this project with a little guidance. I have checked out the svn and have been browsing the /src/phones/ directory. Please let me know of any resources which may help guide me in developing support for this phone.

Thank you for your time.
