Security and Networking / Howto - Gprs With Samsung Shg-z510

« on: March 26, 2006, 04:29:30 am »

I just switched phone and networks and since it has taken me a whole day to get the new GPRS connection working - and neither O2 nor Samsung were any help at all .. I thought I should post a record of what finally worked.

Zaurus: C860 with Cacko 1.23 ROM
Phone: Samsung SGH-Z510 on O2 monthly contract

I used the network GUI to create a new Bluetooth - PPP connection
Account tab -
username:  username
password:  password
Phone:       *99**1*1#
Dial using:  tone

Modem tab -
Init string: ATZ
Speed:     230400

Network:
Auto-detect routing: checked
Auto-detect name servers: unchecked
First DNS:   193.113.200.200
Second DNS:   193.113.200.201

Bluetooth:
I used the BT device Search to find my phone and clicked Set

It's so simple if you have the right combination of settings!

Here's a list of things that didn't work to save anyone else wasting their time.
- O2 customer service - zero help, told me to call Samsung
- Samsung - helpful up to the point where I asked to check networking settings, then they told me to call O2 ..
- O2 website - under the 'active web' section there are guides for XP, Mac, Pocket PC, Palm  ... these all gave misleading information the number is not *99#, neither is it *99***1# and the modem command AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP,"MOBILE.CO.UK" doesn't work

Software / Kdepim-pi On Fedora Core 3

« on: March 18, 2006, 06:16:58 am »

Just for the record in case anyone else gets stuck like I did with getting it working on Fedora. Thanks to the hints on this thread I gave up with the SuSe rpm and trying to compile myself and downloaded the memory stick version 2.25

I unzipped it, made kapi_linux and kopi_linux executable and they both ran first time. Everything just worked, including syncing over usb to my Zaurus ;-)

There were no errors, and I didn't need to link anything. Although I already had qt and openssl installed which the SuSe rpm couldn't find.

Hi All,

Just wanted to mention my experience with Fedora Core 3 and running kdepim-pi.  I managed to get it working with too much problems by downloading the 2.1.0 memory stick version from pi-sync.net.  Afterwards, trying to run kopi_Linux by itself comes up with a linking error as it looks for libqt.so.3.  On my system I had /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.4, so I added a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libqt.so.3 to /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.4.  After that, kopi_Linux runs! Syncs like a champ over 802.11b to my 5600. 

I didn't get into kdepim-pi until just recently and have now found it to be just a fantastic piece of software.  And the fact that I can sync on Linux is great.  Big thanks to Zautrix for all the hard work, and hope this info may help others get things going.

Which file did you use exactly? I have been trying to make a working version on my Windows 2000, Fedora Core 3, and gentoo. None of them works for me. I can't find any support forum either. It would be great to sync with my 6K.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / ext2 filesystem on my SD

« on: March 22, 2004, 09:54:50 am »

Could anyone tell me where I could find a copy of fdisk for an SL5500 running a Sharp  ROM 3.13 please?

The link on http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=205 points to docs.zaurus.com which gives me an \'unknown host\' error.

TIA
