Which software to use for managing my pictures, videos of my mobile
phone ? 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. I could use it as a modem using a
USB-cable and one of the programs I tried (maybe Gammu but I cannot
remember) could copy some stuff from the phonebook but nothing else.
I will probably not buy a Samsung again because of this.

Ok. 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? There
might be something you can do.
A.
I've just done some tests/trying with BitPim, but that doesn't work.
Moreover, my phone isn't supported by BitPim.
Thanks for your suggestion.
