You have to use the Dial-up networking Bluetooth profile and AT commands from the 3GPP/ETSI 27.005 specification. If your want to support a wide range of mobile phone you will have to implement SMS PDU mode which is a bit complex for a beginner. Start with a mobile phone which supports SMS text mode.

NEWBIE: SMS & Bluetooth
by Vincent Coetzee 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hi there Please excuse this question, I can see from the archives that the question of sending SMSs via Bluetooth has been asked repeatedly, but while I can find all of the questions in the archive I can not find any of the answers. Can someone PLEASE point me to an archive or FAQ that covers this or perhaps even answer the question.

It takes an IOMemoryDescriptor and a SendDataContext. When the send is complete, call SendSCOCompleted() with the SendDataContext and a timestamp for when the data was actually sent (for serial data, you'll probably just need to take a timestamp yourself since you don't have an interrupt-level timestamping facility). - Eric [demime 0.98b removed an attachment of type application/pkcs7-signature which had a name of smime.p7s] _______________________________________________ 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.

SCO problems with my custom HCI controller
by Alexander Traud 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

Since Apple Bluetooth software v1.5 SCO data traffic is supported which enables the headset Bluetooth profile. I upgraded my UART Transport HCI Controller http://www.traud.de/bluetooth/ to work with SCO data too. Pairing a headset and using it as microphone works great. But I have problems how to use the SendSCOData(..) function and how to use its callback function. I had no detailed look into the IOMemoryBlock data which comes from Apple's Bluetooth software. It was a bit wired and seemed USB specific on the first view. Anyway I did no look very deep into this. The problem is, I found no way to satisfy the Apple Bluetooth software with the callback structure. The same SCO packets are coming and coming in an endless loop and slow down the computer dramatically. According to http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/Bluetooth/ > It is possible, although certainly not trivial, to subclass the > IOBluetoothHCIController object to provide vendor-specific functionality or to > support Bluetooth over a transport other than USB. If you need to do this, you > should contact Apple9s developer technical support [...] for assistance. we are wrong here and should contact the Worldwide Developer Technical Support group but we have no support incident and If possible we want to retain the public domain license. Do we have to contact WWDTS? BTW our UART HCI Controller should work now with every PC Card and PCI device which uses a 16750 or better UART and its actual speed is not higher than 115200 bit/s. Two limitations of the current Apple16X50Serial v1.5 package which we could not workaround (yet). _______________________________________________ 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.

BT System Preferences panel
by André Alm 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

Hello, I have an iMac FP 15b with a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter, Apple Wireless Keyboard, Apple Wireless Mouse and a SonyEricsson Z600. The Bluetooth Communication to the devices works fine. The problem I have is with the Bluetooth Panel in the System Preferences. It will not load, it just says bLoading Bluetoothb and nothing happens. I suspect there is a problem with the settings file for the BT panel. Were is it? Can I remove it and a new one be created?

Device Inquiry without GUI
by Moritz Gmelin 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

Hi Members, I am working on a project to provide a JSR-82 compliant interface for Java Applications to access Bluetooth functionalities. It is basically a JNI Library and some java stuff on top. I really want to reduce the native code to a bare minimum. It works quite well in Linux and Windows, but on the Mac (which I prefer :-) I have that problem, that there does not seem to be a way to perform an inquiry without the Cocoa GUI. Connecting RFComm Channels and doing SDP-Searches don't seem to be a problem, but how can i start an inquiry and somehow get notified of devices in range ?

Eric, > I'm filing a bug report that the current API doesn't > provide a mechanism to control the run loop modes that the > incoming Bluetooth events are handled in. Thanks. I know I should have done that right after 10.3 came out and I found out that "they" (whoever develops the code that handles system status bar items) changed the way things work when a status bar menu is opened. > When the initial notification is registered, the > caller is notified about all existing connections. Then as > new connections are established, new notifications are sent. Okay, now that I understand what's happening, and that it is actually the expected behavior, I should be able to work around it. ...Thanx... ...Eric... _______________________________________________ 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.

Or are you talking about actual streaming latency (possibly causing sync issues)? If the former, that is due to the time it takes to connect to the headset. If you're regularly getting a half a second, consider yourself lucky. With sub-optimal conditions, it could take several seconds. There's no easy way around that. We could keep the connection open, but that would drain the battery on the headset when it wasn't in use. We could park the connection, but that has its own set of issues and might not really decrease the time it takes to start using the headset again due to the time needed to un-park the connection. - Eric [demime 0.98b removed an attachment of type application/pkcs7-signature which had a name of smime.p7s] _______________________________________________ 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.
