MM-A700 cable?

[BeNT]

Anyone tried a data cable w/ their A700 yet? Also does anyone know if the cable for the A700 is the same as any other Samsung? Thanx.

i tried the cable from my a600 on the 700.

the computer recognized it, but no matter what i did to the ini file of snapsync i couldnt get it to work



::::hrumph:::::

so i gave the 700 to my wife cuz i didnt feel like hand typing 300 #'s

[Tony]

I am in need of a driver too.

[3G Cables]

I am in need of a driver too.

We have the cable and driver =) For the phone to make an internet connection.

Futuredial is working on a patch/upgrade to Snapsync to make it compatible with the A700. I can’t wait either since I have this phone and would like to transfer over all my numbers.

[lmtuxinc]

will the cable and car charger from my old n400 work on the new a700?

[3G Cables]

will the cable and car charger from my old n400 work on the new a700?

No, the N400 is totally differnt. Car charger, maybe if it is the universal.

[michelle]

what about the cable used for the a500/600? will that work?

[jdb8167]

Ok, this is weird. I had my MM-A700 working as a modem with a A660 cable. I only tested it for a minute after I got the phone but it worked fine.

Now, about a week later, I tried again and I can't get a connection. Doing some debugging on it, the modem isn't responding to the initial AT/CR/LF from the modem script. It almost looks like the USB on the phone has failed.

This is on a Mac with OSX and the built-in Sprint PCS Vision modem script, but I tried just using a command line to talk to the phone and it isn't working from there either.

Anyone have any ideas. Is it possible that the USB has failed? If so, can I get a replacement since the whole "modem" thing is unsupported.

Thanks for any feedback.

[BeNT]

But are there any applications that will allow you to download pics from the A700 directly to your computer?

Depending if your cable is charging, has a box in the middle, or straight through can make a difference. If you have a cable that charges the phone you could have fried your port or phone. If you have a box in the middle of the cable (serial conversion box) you could have caused problems on your USB port or phones as well. Please let us know what type of data cable you have.

We carry only true OEM straight through cables that do not have those issues.

Actually, I have both a charging cable and one of yours. The charging cable has a serial conversion box.

Neither cable works with for connecting with PPP. But if the USB port is fried it is subtle because I can use the BitPim software with either cable and see the file system on the phone. So it seems unlikely to me that the USB port is dead in such a specific way as to only break the modem functions and not the data interface functions.

I just had the phone replaced. The USB was definitely the problem. I'm going to speculate that the USB connection was fine but the USB to serial converter in the phone was fried. I'm not exactly sure how the AT modem commands in the phone work, but they weren't responding while other parts of the USB connection were apparently fine.

So, the moral. Don't use a charging data cable. I'm not sure what happened but I won't be using the charging A660 cable that I have. I will only use a straight through OEM cable like the one I bought from 3GCables.

Thanks for the info and help.

Thank you for being honest. Many people have too much pride to admit their charging cable fried their phone, but I really appreciate you letting people know the importance of a true OEM non-charging cable.

Except apparently that wasn't what happened. My phone (new) again can't connect. I think I've tracked it down to running BitPim and just viewing the file system on the phone. It seems to put the phone in some sort of state so that the AT commands on the modem aren't recognized. It appears to be a software problem. I'm going to look into it further.

As far as I can tell now, the old phone is fine but in the wrong mode as well.

If anyone has played around with BitPim on a MM-A700 and was successful at getting the phone to connect as a modem I would like to hear details. Thanks.

I have successfully got the A700 to connect and work nicely as a modem with the driver we have plus just making a manual dialup connection.

[jdb8167]

Let me explain again the whole thing.

I originally bought a MM-A700 and had no trouble connecting to PPP using #777 from my PowerBook. I used a cable from a A660 that was a charging cable that also seemed to have a serial converter box built in to the cable. After a couple of days of playing around with the phone, I tried to connect to PPP again, and it no longer worked. To make a long story short, I assumed that the cable had fried some part of the USB though that seemed unlikely since the USB worked with BitPim. But I took the phone back and replaced it, the phone then again was able to connect to PPP. So I assumed that it really was a fried USB.

But the story doesn't end there. I almost immediately tried the BitPim software again with the new phone, and then tried to connect to PPP again. Where the phone once worked with my PowerBook, it no longer did. I assume that means that the BitPim software is putting the phone into some weird state that prevents the modem AT commands from being recognized.

I don't own a PC (just 2 Macs) so I don't have immediate access to test if the problem also occurs with the PC and the Sprint USB drivers. I will test that as soon as possible.

I hope this clears things up a bit. I probably won't use the charging cable in any case. The charging has only a little value to me and even a small chance of damaging the phone isn't worth it.

Bitpim is NOT made for the A700 and is trying to access a different file structure than it is used to and is very bad to do to your phone and is likely frying your phone (actually putting it into debug mode and corrupting data). Why are you using Bitpim when it does not support the A700?

The file system on most 3g phones is the same (at least for listing the directories). BitPim seems to handle the MM-A700 file system without any problems. You can't use any of the upload/download/sync functions but just displaying the file system works fine. I doubt that it is frying the phone and it shouldn't be writing to the file system at all when displaying the directory.

I was examining the file structure because I was curious and I'm a programmer. It is what we programmers do :)

It seems like it should be possible to get the phone back to its original state. I'm looking into it.

As far as I know all you are looking at (as far as the file structure goes) is the catalog of files not the actually memory addresses that the data resides in. That is the problem. Most phones have different memory locations addresses for their data. Thus even trying to access some parts of the phone such at OTP areas may indeed fry the phone. I spoke with Futuredial Techs before and they said they fry a phone a week when trying to build their software around the phones file system so be warned, it does/can happen.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. If the file system listing isn't an actual directory, then what good is it?

Again, I doubt that just reading the file system is frying the phone. Nothing is guaranteed but it seems unlikely to me that reading the file system is going to break the modem function on the phone. I just don't see the correlation. It does make some sense that the phone is in some sort of persistent mode that I have to figure out how to reset.

To access, even view the file system, the phone needs to be in debug/engineering mode. The command Bitpim uses to put it in this mode is NOT the same for the A700. It sees it as another Samsung likely the A600. That is why once in this mode it does not have the command to get out of this mode. That is why it “frys”. It doesn’t actually fry, but it does get stuck in engineering mode which in some cases you can’t get out of. Does that help explain it to you?

Yup, that is exactly what seems to be happening but I just can't believe there is no way to get it out of diagnostic mode once it is in. I mean all you have to do to get into diagnostic mode is type the following at a terminal:

AT$QCDMG<cr>

Are you saying that there is no way to undo this? I would find that bizarre in the extreme.

The command is the same for all phones are far as I can tell from the BitPim software. So, while I think you've described the problem with being stuck in diagnostic mode, I don't think that the command to get in is different, just the mechanism to get back out.

Btw, I really do appreciate the responses. Any info that you can give me improves my knowledge and makes it likely that I can fix it myself. I'm getting a serious education in CDMA phones right now. I'm working on some code to use the USB ports instead of the serial modem ports to try and send an offline/reset command to the phone. I'm hoping that will break it out of the diagnostic mode.

A final note on my saga. I had to wipe my phone back to factory defaults with the service menu (##786#) clear memory and reenter my 3G info and phone number in order to get the phone working again in modem mode. This is a pain in the rear but not a horrible conclusion.

I will say as a warning though, you don't want to mess around with BitPim with the current firmware in the A700. I tried everything less than a complete wipeout to get the phone out of diagnostic mode on the modem port and nothing seemed to work. It wasn't fatal but the solution is definitely not for the faint of heart.

[bosshog69]

Would G3cables be willing to post their USB driver so we could use our MM-A700 as a modem? I also have a straight though USB cable and am looking to get down and dirty with my A700. Also, do you have a time frame when SnapSync will be comming out with support for the A700?

[Tony]

SnapSync released an update yesterday and it includes support for the A700! I just tried it and my phone book sync went through perfectly. The only problem was that it assigned one of the built-in cartoon people images to all my transferred contacts.

Do you know if they figured out a way to exit the diagnostic mode that is a problem on the A700? Or is that why the SnapMEDIA is not compatible with the A700? Thanks for any info that you might have.

Whatever you are doing is not good that it is going into diagnostic mode. You should never be using software that does not support your phone. There is a post here on how someone got their phone out of diagnostic mode but it was a major hassle.

Is yours stuck in diagnostic mode? And if so please let us know here what you did so others will not make that same mistake.

Thanks

Hi, no that was me. I'm a programmer and I would like to start a MM-A700 compatible mode for BitPim so that it would be supported but the problem with getting the phone out of diagnostic mode is a killer. I haven't found a usable solution even with help of the BitPim developers. So I have temporarily given up but I'm hoping for a flash update or another solution.

I managed to get my phone out of diagnostic mode but I had to do a hard-core factory reset from a MSL protected, hidden service menu to do it. This erased all information including phone number and vision login. Obviously not usable for doing something like BitPim. It sounds like the SnapMEDIA people might have the same issue or it might be that they just haven't gotten around to writing the software to actually read/write the media records. I was just wondering if you knew the status since you seem to have good contacts.

All it takes to get the A700 into diagnostic mode is to run BitPim and view the file system or type the following AT command in a terminal connected to the USB port: AT$QCDMG<cr>

I strongly suggest NOT doing either of these things with an A700.

As you can see from what I have written above they now support SnapSYNC on the A700. However other media transfer is apparently more difficult because they don’t support that. They say “we are working on it” but that is a marketing term. They just want us to hang in there for their product. There are other products out there that support phones and I will keep everyone posted for the first manufacturer that releases the software. Trust me, I will be on of the first to know since I have this phone =)

It is a differnet cable than the other Samsungs. I got my cable at boxware.com and i also saw a cable available on accessorygeeks.com with teh Future Dial software

New Bitpim 0.7.24 is out, and I can use it and still use my phone for internet!!!! # Added option to filesystem browser (Brew mode) to return phone to modem mode (AT commands). Known to work for some Samsung and Sanyo models. Use with caution on other phones.

Yes, I agree. I think they may have a firmware update that many of us may not have and that is why it *may* have worked for them.

...

...


I define a locked up phone as a phone unable to function as a phone or hand held vision dievice. There have been no reports made to BitPim developers or on the BitPim mailing lists of BitPim locking up an A700. I have also not read any first hand accounts of BitPim locking up an A700 elsewhere. What using the BitPim filesystem browser can do is get an A700 stuck in Qualcom Diagnostic Mode (and power cycling or removing the battery apparently can't get the phone out of diagnostic mode). The effect of this is that phonebook sync programs can not talk to the phone and the phone can't be used as a modem to connect a computer to the internet. This is of course bad if these things are important, but the phone still does everything an untethered phone should do.

A "go to modem mode" command was recently added to BitPim's filesystem browser. On many Samsung and Sanyo phones, this command will return a phone to modem mode, without needing to power cycle the phone.

jaminmc has confirmed to me, in a PM, that this "go to modem mode" command will take his A700 out of diagnostic mode and back into modem mode. His A700 has firmware version XJ13.

A question that remains is: was it the the "go to modem mode" comamnd, the firmware version XJ13, or the combination of both that resolved the stuck in diagnostic mode issue? The answer to this question could help with future A700 support in BitPim.

[Zucan]

Anything new happening on this front?

I got my A700 updated to XJ13 last night, have BitPIM loaded with the 0.7.30 software, stuck it in read-only mode, and it doesn't seem to work with the phone.
I am checking USB drivers right now, since maybe that is the problem.

They have the SPH-670 (VGA-1000) phone listed and the SPH-420 phone (or something like that). Still no SPH-A700.

BitPim worked great with my a700. I pulled off all my pics and videos,etc without a hitch...

Yea it is old!!!

First thing, I don't have an a700 anymore. I am upto a M610 now.

Anyways, If you don't have the phone driver on your A700, you will never get bitpim to work.

Thanks for the help guys. BitPim 0.7.24 worked and did not lock up the phone. Only thing I'm trying to figure out now is which of the files are the video people sent me. I figured out the pics and videos I made.
