Re: Fwd: How to figure out how to add support for another phone

Telling Bitpim that its a 8300, you can download the phonebook from the
phone, but can't upload. When upload is attempted, the phone displays a
message that no service is available and gives a Sprint phone #. It then
reboots. Some folks online have reported limited success if they create one
or more dummy contacts in the phone before attempting to upload.

Can download and upload "wallpaper" ie pictures.

I think I was attempting to upload an mp3 file as a ringer (not even sure if
the phone supports that). It ended up somehow trashing data on the phone.
The built in application to play music became unavailable with a message
"Content not available". Continuing would just end up at the web browser
wherever it had left off.

I was able to go to a Sprint store. They did a hard reset of the phone. That
seemed to restore everything.

Is there anything written down about a methodology or procedure to figure
out how to add support for a phone? You make it sound like a defined
process. Standard error codes? Does the log indicate what the communications
problems are?
