Getting IMEI from A780 ?

[mudassar]

Hello everyone,
did anyone tried out retrieving IMEI from A780 using MIDP. i know its possible in A768i. can anyone try out.. the syntax is

String imei = new String();
imei = System.getProperty("phone.imei");
mMainForm.append("getting IMEI..");
mMainForm.append(new StringItem(null, imei));

it works on A768i .. y not in A780 ?
if anyone knows of anyother way, pls let me know

thanks,
MAQ

ehm.... Just type *#06#?

Firmware info: www008w
IMEI:*#06#
Concerning MIDP you have to check if the phone.imei property is part of MIDP 2 or an proprietary extension API because in the latter case there might be implementational differences between the A768i and the A780. Why not try to compile and run with Motorola's Java SDK as a test?

thanks for the reply..
yeh i know by typing *#06# u can get it.. i wanted to programatically get it without the user entering it...

i already tried with sun wireless toolkit.. it works on A768i not on A780 ..same issue (Motorola requires Digital certificate/trusted midlet signature...)

thanks anyways,
i will c what i can do by contacting motorola..
btw its retarded..a prompt saying the midlet is untrusted should be *enough* and let the user use wat ever cos its his phone... i should be able to access the restrictive api like file system etc cos i am using it on my own risk... i guess the prompt was enough ! no need to overdo it !!! idiots !

No, I think you should try to compile it specifically with the Motorola SDK which also works for the A780:
http://www.motocoder.com/motorola/do...les/SDK512.zip
Found also this info on their website:
NOTE: JSR 179, JSR 75 - Midlets that use these APIs will run fine on the SDK emulators. However, they will not run on the actual device unless the midlet obtained the midlet signing capabilities. This capability can be requested through the following Motorola business initiative URL:
http://www.motocoder.com/motorola/pc..._name=Innovate
Maybe that's relevant for your signature problem?

@Yongyut
thats exactly what i am refering to... i have this sdk.. but to use it is a bit complicated since it requires to be installed with some specific IDE which no longer is supported as i searched for it.. secondly, this sdk i dont think is any different then using sun wireless toolkit ..only this signing thing is what is required.. that way the program will access the protected API's..

dang it ! who will get this from motorola.. i already signed that form they provided but they dont reply BACK !!! Y cant they just let developers create stuff ... jerks !
