I'm hoping someone might be able to help me but I seem to have broken
the Bluetooth connection on my phone. I think that that fault may be
at the phone end rather that the Mac, so I am also posting to the Sony
Ericsson dev lists, but perhaps some knowledgeable person here might
have seen this fault before and have an answer.
I've been working on a little application that gives simple "TTY" style
access to the Bluetooth serial port on my Sony Ericsson T630. You can
type in random modem commands and get the replies back in a Cocoa
NSTextView. It's a handy debugging tool, but unfortunately I seem to
have broken the phone in the process in the following strange and
subtle way.
Since some time yesterday (when I was playing around with various SMS
commands) the Address Book application has stopped working correctly to
my phone using Bluetooth. The phone has been working with Address Book
just fine for the few weeks since I got it, up until yesterday. It
claims to connect just fine (the BT button goes blue) but attempts to
send SMS messages do nothing, nor do attempts to dial address book
entries, and incoming SMS messages and CLIP information are ignored by
the Address Book application. Strangely, iSync still does the right
thing, syncing phone book and calendar entries. From this I conclude
that the underlying Bluetooth layer is still working fine.
I tried resetting the Mac's concerend. I tried deleting the pairing
and re-pairing. I've come to the conclusion that the problem seems to
be in the phone rather than the Mac side (hence also posting to
SonyEricsson) since not only does deleting the pairing and re-attaching
not fix the problem, but the fault also shows up when I paired the
phone with a Mac that the phone had never seen before. As further
evidence, if I pair my old T610 with any of these computers the address
book works fine with them.
I have tried using the "Master Reset->Reset All" menu option on the
phone, but the problem persists. I've also tried issuing an AT&F
factory reset command to the phone, but I don't think that this resets
stored profiles. So I seem to have somehow broken some state in the
phone that is not cleared by the master reset but has to do with the
processing of the modem commands through the serial port. If anyone on
this list has seen this problem before, or knows how to issue a really
really complete reset on a Sony Ericsson T630, I would love to know.
One thing that would be really helpful is if someone from Apple who
knows about Address Book could tell me exactly what modem commands are
set to the phone via the Bluetooth serial port to reset the phone's
state when Address Book connects. If it's assuming something about the
state of the phone then maybe I can reset that setting. If it's
attempting to load a stored profile maybe that's my problem.
Thanks in advance,
Nicko
