Establishing a data call

7 replies · 6,059 views · Started 02 March 2004

Hey,

Has anyone had any success establishing a data call beetween two Symbian phones? By that I mean call from one phone using a data call and accept on the other phone and then acquire control of the call and possibly send data beetween the phones. We need to do the following in our project:

- Establish a data call beetween two pohnes
- Take control of the call in such a manner our application is in control not the default application that handles calls.
- Accepting the call automatically without the default dialogs wolud be a big plus.
- Transfer data beetween the two phones

Has anybody succeeded in doing any of that or has any information on that for any platform (Series 60 or UIQ)?

I can initiate a data call from my applicaton but cannot accept it on the other phone. The standard dialog that is shown only gives the option of accepting over IR which is not usefull. I can acquire ownership of a voice call once I have manually accepted it using the default dialog, but the data call gives no such option. Thanks.

I think there are couple of applications that can transfer data between two Symbian phone via CSD.Than one i can think of right now is CoMobi.Its available for both Series 60 and UIQ.I don't know if this is what you were asking for but you can check it out in the online shop

Hey,

That's exactly what I want my application to do. Do you have any idea where to get any information on how to do that on Series 60 platform or any other phone on the Symbian platform?

I did read an article once where the author explained how he managed to get two 9210s to establish a data connection. The application was to enable two deaf people to communicate with one another by typing instead of talking.

I think this was on the Symbian web site, but I could not find it. Maybe you should try your favourite search engine.

I found the article I was refering to here. Hope it helps.

Hey,

Thanks. I read this article but although it has some usefull code it is mainly standard ETEL which I'm already using. But it's an interesting article nevertheless... Good introduction to Symbian work....

Hey,

I can't say I have anything new on the subject but apparently it is possible since there is now an application that does it. You can get it here: comobi.webgate.bg .
If you analyze it you may find out how they do it.
