There aren't a lot of information on Google about !
After years of having given up on accessing anything in my phone, I recently tried again. Bitpim has evolved a lot lately and even the version in Etch is almost there. It still doesn't work with my phone so I'm trying the versions at http://www.bitpim.org but I'm having trouble with them too. The debs have dependency issues and I can't yet build a deb from the svn source code. I'm still at it. > >I have Samsung Z540 and never had any success with managing the > >information on it using Debian.

After searching and after many trying, I can't connect my phone via > USB to the computer. There are variuos issues here. If "dialup" is disabled in your phone, your computer won't see it as a modem. In my phone I had to enter the code "##DIALUP" to enable it. That part works for me but my carrier has disabled so many features that to this day I can't use the phone for anything except to talk and as a modem. Bluetooth to connect to the computer has been disabled, web access has been crippled so that it only works with Verizon's portal (and that means $$$ every time you use it), email only works with their email gateway (more $$$), etc etc... I haven't even been able to get my pictures out of the phoen (it has a camera) because I refuse to be held for ransom so I don't send them by email to myself. So what your carrier does is as important as the capabilities of the phone. > > Too bad. :-( > > Thank you for your help, I hope that this problem will be fixed soon. ;-) Have you checked the list of compatible phones at bitpim.org?
