NEW: Siemens FlexMem filesystem plugin (ME45,S45 and others)

[aziemer]

Filesystem plugin to access the FlexMem of SIEMENS mobile phones S45, ME45 (and possibly later models)

This is a Beta version, so please give me feedback what works and what not!
ERICSSON phones might work also, please try it and tell me.
Currently only serial connection is supported, no IrDA - sorry.

Hmm, just tried it, and it worked. Maybe the 'ß'. I changed the name.

You write something about the obex protocol - does your plugin work with infrared too? I ask because my Total Commander for PocketPC will support Obex in its next version 1.2, via infrared. What functions do you use in obex? TC/CE currently only supports obex send and obex receive, no remote browsing.

Nice
I was actually planning on writing one myself but you beat me to it. I'll give it a test on a S55, SL55 and newer phones.

Just tried it on my S55 and SL55 and it doesn't seem to work. It looks like it connects to the phone but no files are listed.

For tracking down the problem please download this changed plugin: http://totalcommander.a-z-e.de/SIFSv09b2.ZIP
Just copy SIFS.WFX over the old one. Then locate the FSPLUGIN.INI in the Total Commander folder and add the following line in the
[SIEMENS FS by AZE] section:
Debug=filename
where filename is a filename of your choice, where debug messages are logged.
Now try to connect to your mobile and mail me the contents of this file.

BTW.: IrDA works (at least with my ME45 and Win98). Just select the virtual COM port associated with your IrDA port.

Great, the new version works with my S55.
Thanks

Version 1.0 is out

Main changes are:
- a massive improvement in speed
- progress bars
- disk size and free space shown
- fixed a few bugs

Get it here: http://totalcommander.a-z-e.de/SIFSv10.ZIP
And the sources: http://totalcommander.a-z-e.de/SIFSv10_SRC.ZIP

This is what its based on (partially heavily modified)
- OpenOBEX http://openobex.sourceforge.net
- COBEX OpenFTP http://triq.net

To communicate I use the whole bunch of commands that are available:
PUT, GET, SETPATH and their derivatives (get DIR listing, get INFO (disksize,free space))

The current engine even has a server mode (though unused in SIFS). Just take a look at the sources...

Thanks for the plugin.
I had to change my mobile phone lately but thanks to the plugin my choice was much easier
Of course Siemens S55 - works fine with it
But it works only with the speed 57600. Is it possible to work with 115200? Is it a problem of phone model or anything else?

[aziemer]

@djk

SIEMENS only allows 57600 (and 19200, but this is even less what we want )...
Ironically, the serial connection via RS232 works about twice as fast as the infrared connection! It seems IrDA puts a lot of overhead on top of the OBEX protocol.

thanks for your plugin. it is VERY useful by the concept, but questions / wishes exist.

1. How can i send sms (txt) message from within TC to flex memory? of course there are a lot of proggies for SMSing from computer, but i love TC and i love my ME45, so it would be great to do everything from within TC.

2. vice versa : How can i send a voice file from my Siemens, written with built-in dictating machine to TC? it is not a *.wav file, it has to be converted to *.wav somehow.

Well, both 1 & 2 can be done with
Siemens Data Exchange Software , it has the conversion ability, but the interface is Explorer-like, so u may understand...

Will you think it over in any future versions, please ?

1) You can't send SMSs simply because they are not stored in FlexMem! FlexMem only holds the SMS archives (SMS/inbox SMS/outbox).

2) Copy them from/to the "Voice memo" directory. Convert VMO files with the utilities from http://totalcommander.a-z-e.de/vmoutils.zip


I am working on a TC filesystem plugin that works on the BMP/BMX (logos), MID (ringtones), VCF (Adressbook) and VCS (scheduler) areas of the SIEMENS. First I decided to incorporate it into the FlexMem plugin, but as switching from AT-Mode (for BMP,MID etc.) to OBEX mode (flexmem) and vice versa more often failed as it worked, it will be a new plugin - and it will be coming soon, as time permits.

Sounds nice, aziemer
I hoped you would go this way....

aziemer thanks for vmo converting utility. Works fine with TC CL
