Inquiry or HCI access to bluetooth device
by Thorsten Sprenger 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hello, for my project I need the ability to start my own inquiry-request in order to find suitable bluetooth devices. But I couldn't find an appropriate function call. Is there a possibility to do this ? Can I also configure the scan modes (inquiry scan and page scan) ? Is there also a way to directly access the HCI-layer of the bluetooth device ? I couldn't access the device due to the error code 2c5 (exclusive access). Thank you very much in advance ! /Thorsten Sprenger _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.

se t68i - g4 powerbook - dlink bluetooth - help!!!

...that is what we are trying to get to work. we occasionally got pairing to work (phone to computer but not the other way round). but we couldnt use it (i e iSync refused to accknowledge the phone as did the setup assistant. when pairing there would just be a popup with no associated application. what we finally want to do is use the bluetooth phones to navigate in a custom program. this should be possible for every phone in range simultaneously. using the IOBlueToothFramework i guess. i tried running the client and server, but the server wouldnt be recognized by the phone and the client wouldnt find the phone. no discovery kind of connection would work, they just wouldnt discover each other. we are running the newest software upgrade here... i could set the phone to receive but it wouldnt receive (lacking discovery). any help, sample code, links ideas? this is kinda urgent coz the associated project is due in three weeks! daniel _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.

Re: OBEX file browsing
by Bubba Giles 09 Jun '03

Tom, I have not tried with that phone, but the Bluetooth File Exchange app talks "File Transfer Profile", so if the phone supports FTP over Bluetooth, you should be able to use the BFE app to browse it. However, you will have to implement your own FTP code if you wish to create your own browser app that does synchronization as well. We have not added an FTP layer over OBEX yet - we had hoped to do that by now but have not had time to do it. So, you'll need to grab a copy of the FTP spec for OBEX/Bluetooth, and you should be able to implement it over the current OBEX API in the Bluetooth stack, which is what we did for the BFE app. Basically, you just need to add some custom headers to the OBEX commands and write a file listing creator/parser.

OBEX file browsing
by Tom Wilkie 09 Jun '03

To anyone who can help... I am hoping to develop the OSX equivalent to the Nokia Series 60 File browser. This allows you to browse and transfer file from your PC. - http://nokia-7650-software.epocware.com/PC_File_Manager.html I want to later extend this to make a helper app for my phone, which will copy the photos into iPhoto, and videos into the movie / home directory etc, basically do what iSync doesn't. I thought a file browser would be a good place to start. I would be interested in extending this to other phone eventually, such as the P800 and the other Nokia series 60 phone, the 3650 I think. but I need to start somewhere. My question is: has anyone already produced this for OS X? Is it open source? If not, where can I find the info on the protocol used to 'browse' the device remotely? I've looked at the Apple site, and there seems to be no reference like there is for cocoa etc. I would be very grateful for any help.

RFCOMM
by Jim Wilde 09 Jun '03

I've been trying to create an RFCOMM connection from a Series 60 handset to my iBook, and I'm having trouble finding any decent documentation on how to create one in Cocoa. I've tried pulling apart the RFCOMMServerSample.m program, but with no luck. Does anyone know of any docs that explain what a ChannelID and a dictionary atually relate to?

Sending SMS
by Ivan Myrvold 08 Jun '03

08 Jun '03

I am modifying the SendVCard to send SMS message instead of sending a vCard to the mobile. The vCardData holds the vCard to be transferred in an NSData variable, so I commented out the vCardData = [window CreateVCardFromTextFieldData]; and constructed a vMsg instead: vmsgstring = @"BEGIN:VMSG\r\nVERSION:1.0\r\nBEGIN:VCARD\r\nVERSION:2.1\r\nN:Ivan\r\nT EL:91316356\r\nEND:VCARD\r\nBEGIN:VENV\r\nBEGIN:VCARD\r\nVERSION:2.1\r\n N:JORUND\r\nTEL:90631191\r\nEND:VCARD\r\nBEGIN:VENV\r\nBEGIN:VBODY\r\nSu bject:Test\r\nKan du svare hvis du fikk denne?\r\nEND:VBODY\r\nEND:VENV\r\nEND:VENV\r\nEND:VMSG\r\n"; vCardData = [vmsgstring dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]; ... status = OBEXSessionPut( window->mOBEXSessionRef, TRUE, (void*) CFDataGetBytePtr( window->mHeadersData ), CFDataGetLength( window->mHeadersData ), (void*) [vCardData bytes], [vCardData length], PutCallback, window ); if( status != kIOReturnSuccess ) { [window->TextFieldStatus setStringValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"OBEXSessionPut failed. Error = %x.", status ]]; goto errorExit; } It looks like the code runs without any errors, but absolutely nothing is happening on the mobile itself. Is this the correct way of sending an SMS?
