Add Address Book support for the Sony Ericsson T630
Authored by: SteamSHIFT on Feb 19, '04 02:23:22PM

A similar thing seems to be true for the Sony Ericsson P900 - same file - look at the bottom of the file and at the bottom there is a string for the P800 - add P900 below and bingo SMS and Dialing.

Pity it doesn't seem to have had the same effect with Answering, VoiceMail etc functions; nor does it pick up the caller id from the phone. ANy ideas anyone?

Add Address Book support for the Sony Ericsson T630
Authored by: plantagoo on Feb 22, '04 06:33:11AM

Hi!

I exactly had the same idea. But it won't work for my P900! As soon as I insert the P900-array and start up my adressbook the menu "SMS-Send" is greyed out. *confused*

When I delete it the menu "SMS-Send" is there but it won't send any SMS.

Any idea?

BTW: OS 10.3.2 and P900 newest official Firmware from Sony-Ericsson.

Greetings

I tried adding P900 to the bottom of the file, however, can only dial (more than I could do before) - cannot sms.

Can someone post a copy of the plist file so that I can try it.

Thanks

Hi! I tried your suggestion on adding another P900 string below P800 string but it still doesn't work on my P900. Is it because I'm using Text Edit instead of Property List Editor that I don't have?
It would be very helpfull if you could send me the "ABDeviceCommandSets.plist" that you have changed to work on P900.
I'm using Panther 10.3.2

The thing lacking seems to be the AT commands. I've been trying to google them all day, but I just cannot seem to find suitable AT commands for the P900. After changing the .plist I can dial, but in the plist the only string is the ATDial.

If the working plist could be sent to me at banton@solidhardware.com, I'd appreciate it a bunch. Or if someone has those AT commands or a link, I could take it from there also.

Thanks a bunch,

Add Address Book support for the Sony Ericsson P900
Authored by: chrismiles on Mar 10, '04 06:15:18PM

Hi - great hint here. I have been playing with this plist entry for P900 and so far the best result I can get is to adding P900 to entry "1" (along with T610 and Z600) and now I can dial people and see who is calling all from Address Book.

If you add P900 to entry "4" (alongside P800) you get almost no behaviour at all. This is obvious from the lack of any at commands for this entry.

Now it should be possible to find out the correct P900 'at' commands for sending/receiving SMS and Answering a call and we will all be very happy.

Further to this, a fix to allow the Mac Address Book to answer a P900 phone call is to change the above mentioned plist file.

Change:
ABAnswerPhone=at+ckpd="s"
to:
ABAnswerPhone=ata

As far as sending/receiving SMS messages goes, looking through the Sony Ericsson developer community site seems to indicate that the P800/P900 phones do not support SMS over at-commands. That is quite a shame - I wonder what alternatives are offered.

When I pair my P900, it dims both iSync and Address book, so when I click the icon in address book to hook up to the phone, I get another pairing dialog. ugh

Also, replace:

ABHangUpPhone=at+ckpd="e"

with:

ABHangUpPhone=ath

The P900 only supports the Keypad command (+ckpd) for the Camera button, which is at+ckpd=":C". I'm not entirely sure why Apple decided to give commands to the phone by pretending to press the keypad.
