[Bitpim-devel] Timeouts on SCP-5500

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

I am experimenting with the Sanyo SCP-5500, starting with understanding
the phonebook protocol first.  There are strong similarities with the
protocol for the other Sanyo phones.  The headers are larger and the
packets are bigger, but the hex codes in the headers for different
packets are usually the same and the payload formats are similar.  I'll
probably be able to reuse a lot of code.

When reading the phonebook, I will get a timeout at a random place.  The
retry hack used for writing to the other Sanyo phones does not help.  I
worry that this is a similar problem to those experienced with the
VX4400 when using the straight through cable.

Is there a clean way to trap communications timeouts so that I can try
reinitializing communications or such?
