[Bitpim-devel] 0.7 test1 notes

[Stephen W. <sa...@us...>]

I have gotten some feedback on the Sanyo phone support from sprintusers
and howardforums readers who have tried BitPim 0.7test1.

1.  Several windows users got stuck initially because BitPim didn't auto
detect their phone and they didn't know what to do.  I can add some
notes to the help, but is there anything else that can be done help
users here?  (On my XP system, the port browser shows COM1 and COM2, but
my phone is know to windows as a modem on COM4.)

2.  A MacOS user was successfull using BitPim with an 8100.

3.  While it is explained in the help that media are not supported for
the Sanyo phones, that is not clear from the application itself.  A user
tried to download wallpaper and ringtones from his 4900 and got a python
error.  Is there a way I can pop up an error, or can the
wallpaper/ringer items in the get and send be disabled when they are not
supported.

4.  A user reported success with the phonebook for the SCP-7200.  The
7200 is a newer Sprint Readylink (push to talk) phone.  He also reported
that he got an error when trying to download the calendar. 
Unfortunately, I have not be able to get a more descriptive error report
than that yet.  But this gives hope to my suspicion that it will be easy
for BitPim to support at least the phonebook for most of Sanyo's phones.


I have tried to encourage people to report the experience on
bitpim-user, but I think without too much success.
