V800 tips and tricks

[mxcantor]

Was able to get my 802SE to show up in iSync using jonas' trick, BUT:

if the iSync can connect to the phone when it starts, it will crash. Solution is to turn off bluetooth when launching isync.

And then, when I sync, iSync connects for about 20 seconds, but then comes up with the usual erorr pane, bu thte text field is empty. I think this may be a brick wall I'm running into. I can't think of a solution unless apple open sources isync tomorrow (unlikely). By the way, can mobilesync use the apple address book or just entourage?

Maybee I can shed some light on this problem - I've been working as a consultant with the V800 camera, so I have access to the developers inside SonyEricsson. I talked to the software guys about the iSync problem and from what they can see the protocol/syntax is OK from their side, but iSync doesn't agree on it and crashes. Apple has been notified of this, but the only reaction from Apple was that they dont support the V800 (yet).

So until Apple decides to patch iSync the V800 won't be supported using iSync...

from the above, some ppl seem to be having success w/ V800 & isync. I tried the tips above, deleting the pairing, adding to the BT file, then re-pair from the V800. this gets the V800 into isync. but isync crashes when u try to open, as the above poster said - switch off bluetooth, open isync, then start bluetooth on the apple again. then press sync, and it all seems to go ok until a failed error comes up from isync. :cry:

as other ppl have managed to get it working ok, there must be a work around - no? :idea:

Ouch! I was all ready to go out and buy the 802SE today... Why wouldn't this Japanese phone be the same as the V800? The Nokia 702nk seems to work fine, right?

Hmm... Anybody have any luck?

Hello,

I have followed through all of the notes in this forum with no luck. - After a little while playing and a few stabs in the dark I have it working.

If you can turn off Bluetooth, then open isync and see the V800, this should get it to sync.

Firstly, all files that we edit you should BACKUP just to be safe.

Secondly, I assume you have followed the previous instructions a

Close isync, open the following file in text edit /Library/Application Support/SyncService/[b]501[/b]/BTConduitDefaults.plist

NOTE : I have a folder called 501 this may not be the case on you machine, look in the folders that you have until you find the file.

Towards the bottom of this file I had the following :

<dict>
<key>kBTConduitIRMCChannelIDKey</key>
<integer>8</integer>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceID</key>
<string>00-0f-de-93-34-d5</string>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceShouldSlowSyncCalendars</key>
<true/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceShouldSlowSyncContacts</key>
<true/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceUseCalendars</key>
<true/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceUseContacts</key>
<true/>
</dict>

What I did was to copy this section in to another text edit document, then replace it with the following, [b]the bits in bold are what I have edited, with the kNSSyncDeviceID string being taken from the text we copied into the new text edit documents[/b]

<dict>
<key>kBTConduitIRMCChannelIDKey</key>
<integer>8</integer>
<key>kBTConduitModelKey</key>
<string>[b]V800[/b]</string>
<key>kBTEmptyFolderIsOkayReally</key>
<true/>
<key>kBTFilteringDestinationFolderName</key>
<string>Untitled</string>
<key>kNSSyncConduitFilteringContactGroupMap</key>
<dict>
<key>A928BEA8-F9A9-11D8-92ED-000A95D87870:ABGroup</key>
<dict>
<key>kNSSyncConduitFilteringContactGroupName</key>
<string>Group Name</string>
</dict>
</dict>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceID</key>
<string>[b]00-0f-de-93-34-d5<[/b]/string>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceName</key>
<string>[b]V800[/b]</string>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceShouldSlowSyncCalendars</key>
<true/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceShouldSlowSyncContacts</key>
<true/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceUseCalendars</key>
<false/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceUseContacts</key>
<true/>
</dict>

So just to recap, edit the file in /Library/Application Support/SyncService/501/BTConduitDefaults.plist

Copy off the last part as shown above. Then add the second part above using the device id from the old part of the file. Save document, open up isync and cross your fingers.

Hope this is of help, sorry if it doesn't make sense.

This tip works, thanks a million igareth and jonas. I couldn't get the v800 to sync without igareths additional information.

You must follow the procedure Jonas posted at the begining of the thread.

Then open the plist located in the 501 folder as described by igareth.

Your plist may look radically different to that shown by igareth. Mine was. It didn't contain a huge amount of extra data.

But in my case I just modifed the position of the first 'V800' shown in igareths modified plist above, my file had 'unknown' in the location I needed to modify. The start of my plist file looked like this:

<key>kBTConduitIRMCChannelIDKey</key>
<integer>8</integer>
<key>kBTConduitModelKey</key>
<string>unknown</string>
<key>kBTEmptyFolderIsOkayReally</key>
<true/>

I just changed 'unknown' to V800, saved the file (after making sure I had a backup!) and it worked. See the following,

<integer>8</integer>
<key>kBTConduitModelKey</key>
<string>V800</string>


My V800 now syncs perfectly. Thanks again to Jonas and igareth.

Right, have followed all the above, but in bit of a pickle now. i can get past Johan's step 7, in that isync finds my V800. BUT if i try open isync with bluetooth on, it crashes. so i turn off bluetooth, open isync, turn BT back on, then it finds the V800, press sync, it gets thru bookmarks, etc ok, but hangs once it gets to contacts. and then isync crashes. here's by BTconduit file, any one spot the error, or help? thanks.

Hi, after follwoing the instructions given by Jonas you need to stop and follow the instructions issued by igareth above. It is the combination of the 2 that allow the v800 to work with 10.3.8 (my system, and it may apply to eartlier versions of 10.3 as well). I had the same problem you had until I also followed igareths instructions.

remember there are 2 verions of teh BTConduit things that have to be modified, one mentioned by Jonas and the other by igareth, and it looks as if you are only modifying one of them.

Above I posted the things I had to change in the second BTConduit.plist and it looked slightly different to the one posted by igareth. I found I only had to change one item in the second plist to get isync working with the file.

Hope that helps,

Tom.

sacapo: did you say that you got the above 2 step solution to work with an 802se from japan?
if so, i wonder if you or someone else could post a copy of both of the two files that you modify in order to get it to iSync. i have modified my copies of both files so much that it still does not work with my 802se.
thanks in advance.

Hi Sacapo,

here is my btconduitdefault.plist file located in the 501 folder which is working for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<array>
<dict>
<key>kBTConduitIRMCChannelIDKey</key>
<integer>8</integer>
<key>kBTConduitModelKey</key>
<string>V800</string>
<key>kBTEmptyFolderIsOkayReally</key>
<false/>
<key>kBTFilteringDestinationFolderID</key>
<string>F 130787694.90</string>
<key>kBTFilteringDestinationFolderName</key>
<string>Home</string>
<key>kNSSyncConduitFilteringContactGroupMap</key>
<dict/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceID</key>
<string>00-0f-de-92-15-f3</string>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceName</key>
<string>V800</string>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceShouldSlowSyncCalendars</key>
<false/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceShouldSlowSyncContacts</key>
<false/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceUseCalendars</key>
<true/>
<key>kNSSyncDeviceUseContacts</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</array>
</plist>


The two <string> items will be unique for your phone (F 130787694.90 and 00-0f-de-92-15-f3). If you don't have a line with something like F 130787694.90 in it, do not worry, it was not there in my file when I first opened it, I think it is added after the first sync.

I think your problem is as follows:

where YOUR btconduit files says
<string>V800 Cuco</string> ,

you need to CHANGE it to
<string>V800</string>

I hope that helps,

Tom.
