talntid | whitequark, DocScrutinizer: ping :) | 17:11 |
---|---|---|
whitequark | talntid: here | 18:52 |
whitequark | I'll be away soon, but you can always reach me at whitequark@whitequark.org | 18:52 |
whitequark | DocScrutinizer's email address isn't hard to find, too. you can cc him if you want, but I'm not sure how far did he study these modules | 18:53 |
talntid | =] | 18:54 |
talntid | whitequark, can I ask you a few questions? Just basically... can those modules do MMS messages? | 18:54 |
talntid | seems they are supposed to, but... have yet to find someone who says for sure | 18:55 |
whitequark | er | 18:55 |
whitequark | that question is best answered by its documentation ;) | 18:55 |
whitequark | I don't keep all of it in memory | 18:55 |
talntid | Its documentation is vague, at best. | 18:55 |
talntid | it has the words "MMS" in the title, but... doesn't actually *say* anything about it.. unless I am blind. | 18:56 |
whitequark | hmm | 18:56 |
whitequark | what variant do you have? | 18:57 |
whitequark | sim900, sim900b, *? | 18:57 |
talntid | I don't. I am determining which one to buy | 18:57 |
whitequark | btw, do you know how MMS works? | 18:58 |
whitequark | AFAIK it uses TCP/IP underneath | 18:58 |
whitequark | so the module itself should only support GPRS directly (at least) | 18:58 |
talntid | http://www.mt-system.ru/sites/default/files/docs/documents/sim900_mms_at%20command%20manual_v1.01.pdf | 18:58 |
talntid | yes, MMS uses TCP/IP underneath, and sends a specially formed SMS via AT command | 18:59 |
whitequark | ok, you answered your question yourself | 18:59 |
talntid | but the AT command, evidently, has to support sending the "MMS" parts. | 18:59 |
talntid | the firmware has to support sending the extra parameters | 19:00 |
talntid | I am fairly certain that the SIM900 will do what I ask of it, but figured maybe you or the Doc could confirm. If not, I'm just going to but it and document it myself :) | 19:00 |
talntid | as you said though, there are multiple variants | 19:02 |
talntid | http://www.geekonfire.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_49&products_id=78 | 19:11 |
talntid | seems like that might be the best bet | 19:11 |
whitequark | should work, why not | 19:14 |
talntid | because it's out of stock :( | 19:15 |
DocScrutinizer | [2012-06-28 20:37:24] <DocScrutinizer05> not me! | 19:39 |
DocScrutinizer | [2012-06-28 20:37:35] <DocScrutinizer05> I only know what whitequark told me | 19:39 |
DocScrutinizer | [ | 19:39 |
DocScrutinizer | talntid: MMS is not handled by GSM module, it's an AP thing | 19:41 |
DocScrutinizer | or what whitequark said | 19:42 |
DocScrutinizer | talntid: on N900 fmms app doesn't use *any* special AT cmd for MMS | 19:43 |
DocScrutinizer | it just uses a second APN network channel | 19:43 |
DocScrutinizer | and I'm all but sure it could do 'normal' internet during sending / receiving a MMS via that special APN | 19:44 |
DocScrutinizer | at least that's how I understood that MMs stuff | 19:44 |
DocScrutinizer | if you want to know details, try to ping frals, author of fmms | 19:45 |
DocScrutinizer | http://www.google.de/search?q=maemo+fmms&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 | 19:51 |
DocScrutinizer | http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39737 | 19:53 |
DocScrutinizer | this sugests I'm right about switching of AP connections: | 19:53 |
DocScrutinizer | As of release 0.6 there is now multiple "connection modes" available: | 19:54 |
DocScrutinizer | * Polite (Default behavior <0.6): Only switch to MMS connection if no connection is active, otherwise do nothing (pretty much) | 19:54 |
DocScrutinizer | * Rude: Force a disconnect of the active connection regardless of what it is, connect to MMS APN and then reconnect to the old one. | 19:55 |
DocScrutinizer | * Havoc: Try to bring up a connection to the MMS APN in parallell with whatever is active, this is what most other phones do. Note that to get this functionality on the N900 there are a few ugly hacks active which might break stuff, but it *should* work | 19:55 |
LunaVorax | Evening everyone! | 19:57 |
