Sync revisited - Anyone here familiar with XCode on mac?

[bwtaylor-tir]

Rereading my post I did not clearly say that I have not been able to
sync the phone. Just get it to recognize that the A780 is there. I think
that I have a way now to send the AT+MSYNC command but it will
still need some work to figure out how get get te condiut to work.

An Update on the USB connection, just a note am not going to update the
plugin just yet.

I discovered why the USB would never connect and would always throw and error when connected to the A780. Currently the isync master plugin
for

com.motorola.usb.0x22B8/0x3802 calls a class that sends a
AT+MODE=2 to the A780. This returns an error, since the A780 throws
an error for this command. When I recode this class so that it only
sends an AT then iSync will connect to the phone over the USB cable.

What I need to find out now is what is called to open the SyncML
channel to iSync and then I can send the AT+MSYNC to the phone
before the sync negotiation starts to happen.

Any ideas???

Well...you speak of recoding classes. If you have only made changes to the plugin, I would try pulling the nokia syncml inheritance tree in and giving that a whirl. I don't really expect it to work, but it can't hurt to try.

So far as "how", if you're going to write code, pseudo code would be to detect the "serial" port your bluetooth connection creates, open a com (or a cleartext socket, depending on your language) at 96008n1 on that port, then "print" AT+MSYNC to that com. I would like to think that once iSync starts getting the SyncML feedback that you could hand it off to iSync's SyncML interpreter and you'd be done.

A phone call to Apple support might clear things up a bit.

You'd hope anyway. :\

Well am a little jaded when it comes to calling a support line. This is
so deep in there framework that it would take a bit to get to someone
who actually knows what is going on.

I did discover that there are two method scripts that are being used.
One to prepare the channel and one to prepare the protocol. So I think
that I can get the SyncML to start now I just have to see if I can't get the
protocol connection to start. So your idea of using the Nokia might work
but that would be tooooo easy

[numbski]

Perhaps, but I'll take easy.

Side note, I could only get my phone detected using USB, not bluetooth when I had done this from scratch myself. Odd. Then again, I couldn't do it as a plugin, I had to edit the files in iSync.app directly.

I know this is an older topic, but I may switch back to cingular/att, and want to use the A780 when I switch back, and have the ability to sync with my MAC.
