GAMMU(1) Gammu GAMMU(1) NAME gammu - Does some neat things with your cellular phone or modem. SYNOPSIS gammu [parameters] <command> [options] Commands actually indicate which operation should Gammu perform. They can be specified with or without a leading --. DESCRIPTION This program is a tool for mobile phones. Many vendors and phones are sup- ported, for actual listing see Gammu Phones Database. Options Parameters before command configure gammu behaviour: -c, --config <filename> name of configuration file (see gammurc) -s, --section <confign> section of config file to use, eg. 42 -d, --debug <level> debug level (see LogFormat in gammurc for possible values) -f, --debug-file <filename> file for logging debug messages Call commands answercall [id] Answer incoming call. cancelcall [id] Cancel incoming call canceldiverts Cancel all existing call diverts. conferencecall id Initiates a conference call. dialvoice number [show|hide] Make voice call from SIM card line set in phone. show|hide - optional parameter whether to disable call number indi- cation. divert get|set all|busy|noans|outofreach all|voice|fax|data [number time- out] Manage or display call diverts. get or set whether to get divert information or to set it. all or busy or noans or outofreach condition when apply divert all or voice or fax or data call type when apply divert number number where to divert timeout timeout when the diversion will happen getussd code Retrieves USSD information - dials a service number and reads re- sponse. holdcall id Holds call. maketerminatedcall number length [show|hide] Make voice call from SIM card line set in phone which will be termi- nated after length seconds. senddtmf sequence Plays DTMF sequence. In some phones available only during calls splitcall id Splits call. switchcall [id] Switches call. transfercall [id] Transfers call. unholdcall id Unholds call. SMS and EMS commands Sending messages might look a bit complicated on first attempt to use. But be patient, the command line has been written in order to allow almost every usage. See EXAMPLE section for some hints on usage. There is also an option to use gammu-smsd when you want to send or receive more messages and process them automatically. Introduction to SMS formats Gammu has support for many SMS formats like: Nokia Smart Messaging used for monochromatic picture images, downloadable profiles, mono- chromatic operator logos, monochromatic caller logos and monophonic ringtones Linked SMS both with 8 and 16-bit identification numbers in headers EMS this is SMS format used for saving monochromatic images, monophonic ringtones, animations, text formatting and others MMS notifications contains links where phone should download MMS Alcatel logo messages proprietary format for logos You need to ensure that the target phone supports message type you want to send. Otherwise the phone will not be able to display it or will even crash, because firmware of phone did not expect this possibility. Encoding chars in SMS text Text in SMS can be coded using two ways: GSM Default Alphabet With GSM Default Alphabet you can fit at most 160 chars into single SMS (Gammu doesn't support compressing such texts according to GSM standards, but it isn't big limit, because there are no phones supporting them), but they're from limited set: * all Latin small and large * all digits * some Greek * some other national * some symbols like @ ! " # & / ( ) % * + = - , . : ; < > ? * few others Unicode With Unicode single SMS can contain at most 70 chars, but these can be any chars including all national and special ones. WARNING: Please note, that some older phones might have problems displaying such message. Conversion Gammu tries to do the best to handle non ASCII characters in your message. Everything is internally handled in Unicode (the input is converted depend- ing on your locales configuration) and in case message uses Unicode the text will be given as such to the message. Should the message be sent in GSM Default Alphabet, Gammu will try to con- vert all characters to keep message readable. Gammu does support multi byte encoding for some characters in GSM Default Alphabet (it is needed for ^ { } \ [ ] ~ |). The characters which are not present in GSM Default Alphabet are transliterated to closest ASCII equivalent (accents are removed). Re- maining not known characters are replaced by question mark. SMS commands addsmsfolder name deleteallsms folder Delete all SMS from specified SMS folder. deletesms folder start [stop] Delete SMS from phone. See description for gammu getsms for info about sms folders naming convention. Locations are numerated from 1. displaysms ... (options like in sendsms) Displays PDU data of encoded SMS messages. It accepts same parame- ters and behaves same like sendsms. getallsms -pbk Get all SMS from phone. In some phones you will have also SMS tem- plates and info about locations used to save Picture Images. With each sms you will see location. If you want to get such sms from phone alone, use gammu getsms. geteachsms -pbk Similiary to gammu getallsms. Difference is, that links all concate- nated sms getsms folder start [stop] Get SMS. Locations are numerated from 1. Folder 0 means that sms is being read from "flat" memory (all sms from all folders have unique numbers). It's sometimes emulated by Gammu. You can use it with all phones. Other folders like 1, 2, etc. match folders in phone such as Inbox, Outbox, etc. and each sms has unique number in his folder. Name of folders can depend on your phone (the most often 1="Inbox", 2="Out- box", etc.). This method is not supported by all phones (for exam- ple, not supported by Nokia 3310, 5110, 6110). If work with your phone, use gammu getsmsfolders to get folders list. getsmsc [start [stop]] Get SMSC settings from SIM card. Locations are numerated from 1. getsmsfolders Get names for SMS folders in phone savesms TYPE [type parameters] [type options] [-folder id] [-unread] [-read] [-unsent] [-sent] [-sender number] [-smsname name] [-smscset num- ber] [-smscnumber number] [-reply] [-maxsms num] Saves SMS to phone, see below for TYPE options. -smscset number SMSC number will be taken from phone stored SMSC configu- ration number. Default: 1 -smscnumber number SMSC number -reply reply SMSC is set -folder number save to specified folder. Folders are numerated from 1. The most often folder 1 = "Inbox", 2 = "Outbox",etc. Use gammu getsmsfolders to get folder list. -unread makes message unread. In some phones (like 6210) you won't see unread sms envelope after saving such sms. In some phones with internal SMS memory (like 6210) after using it with folder 1 SIM SMS memory will be used -read makes message read. In some phones with internal SMS mem- ory (like 6210) after using it with folder 1 SIM SMS mem- ory will be used -unsent makes message unsent -sent makes message sent -smsname name set message name -sender number set sender number (default: Gammu) -maxsms num Limit maximum number of messages which will be created. If there are more messages, Gammu will terminate with fail- ure. Types of messages: ANIMATION frames file1 file2... Save an animation as a SMS. You need to give number of frames and picture for each frame. Each picture can be in any picture format which Gammu supports (B/W bmp, gif, wbmp, nol, nlm...). BOOKMARK file location Read WAP bookmark from file created by gammu backup com- mand and saves in Nokia format as SMS CALENDAR file location Read calendar note from file created by gammu backup com- mand and saves in VCALENDAR 1.0 format as SMS. The loca- tion identifies position of calendar item to be read in backup file (usually 1, but can be useful in case the backup contains more items). CALLER file Save caller logo as sms in Nokia (Smart Messaging) format - size 72x14, two colors. WARNING: Please note, that it isn't designed for colour logos available for example in DCT4/TIKU - you need to put bitmap file there inside phone using filesystem com- mands. USSD Send USSD query instead of SMS. New in version 1.38.5. EMS [-unicode] [-16bit] [-format lcrasbiut] [-text text] [-uni- codefiletext file] [-defsound ID] [-defanimation ID] [-tone10 file] [-tone10long file] [-tone12 file] [-tone12long file] [-toneSE file] [-toneSElong file] [-fixedbitmap file] [-vari- ablebitmap file] [-variablebitmaplong file] [-animation frames file1 ...] [-protected number] Saves EMS sequence. All format specific parameters (like -defsound) can be used few times. -text adds text -unicodefiletext adds text from Unicode file -defanimation adds default animation with ID specified by user. ID for different phones are different. -animation adds "frames" frames read from file1, file2, etc. -defsound adds default sound with ID specified by user. ID for different phones are different. -tone10 adds IMelody version 1.0 read from RTTL or other compatible file -tone10long IMelody version 1.0 saved in one of few SMS with UPI. Phones compatible with UPI (like Sony-Ericsson phones) will read such ringtone as one -tone12 adds IMelody version 1.2 read from RTTL or other compatible file -tone12long IMelody version 1.2 saved in one of few SMS with UPI. Phones compatible with UPI (like Sony-Ericsson phones) will read such ringtone as one -toneSE adds IMelody in "short" form supported by Sony-Er- icsson phones -toneSElong add Sony-Ericsson IMelody saved in one or few SMS with UPI -variablebitmap bitmap in any size saved in one SMS -variablebitmaplong bitmap with maximum size 96x128 saved in one or few sms -fixedbitmap bitmap 16x16 or 32x32 -protected all ringtones and bitmaps after this parameter (ex- cluding default ringtones and logos) will be "pro- tected" (in phones compatible with ODI like SonyEr- icsson products it won't be possible to forward them from phone menu) -16bit Gammu uses SMS headers with 16-bit numbers for sav- ing linking info in SMS (it means less chars avail- able for user in each SMS) -format lcrasbiut last text will be formatted. You can use combina- tions of chars: +-----------+--------------------+ | Character | Formating | +-----------+--------------------+ | l | left aligned | +-----------+--------------------+ | c | centered | +-----------+--------------------+ | r | right aligned | +-----------+--------------------+ | a | large font | +-----------+--------------------+ | s | small font | +-----------+--------------------+ | b | bold font | +-----------+--------------------+ | i | italic font | +-----------+--------------------+ | u | underlined font | +-----------+--------------------+ | t | strikethrough font | +-----------+--------------------+ MMSINDICATOR URL Title Sender Creates a MMS indication SMS. It contains URL where the actual MMS payload is stored which needs to be SMIL en- coded. The phone usually downloads the MMS data using spe- cial APN, which does not count to transmitted data, how- ever there might be limitations which URLs can be ac- cessed. MMSSETTINGS file location Saves a message with MMS configuration. The configuration will be read from Gammu backup file from given location. OPERATOR file [-netcode netcode] [-biglogo] Save operator logo as sms in Nokia (Smart Messaging) for- mat - size 72x14 in two colors. -biglogo Use 78x21 formatted logo instead of standard 72x14. NOTE: This isn't designed for colour logos available for ex- ample in newer phones - you need to put bitmap file there inside phone using filesystem commands. PICTURE file [-text text] [-unicode] [-alcatelbmmi] Read bitmap from 2 colors file (bmp, nlm, nsl, ngg, nol, wbmp, etc.), format into bitmap in Smart Messaging (72x28, 2 colors, called often Picture Image and saved with text) or Alcatel format and send/save over SMS. PROFILE [-name name] [-bitmap bitmap] [-ringtone ringtone] Read ringtone (RTTL) format, bitmap (Picture Image size) and name, format into Smart Messaging profile and send/save as SMS. WARNING: Please note, that this format is abandoned by Nokia and supported by some (older) devices only like Nokia 3310. RINGTONE file [-long] [-scale] Read RTTL ringtone from file and save as SMS into SIM/phone memory. Ringtone is saved in Nokia (Smart Mes- saging) format. -long ringtone is saved using Profile style. It can be longer (and saved in 2 SMS), but decoded only by newer phones (like 33xx) -scale ringtone will have Scale info for each note. It will allow one to edit it correctly later in phone composer (for example, in 33xx) SMSTEMPLATE [-unicode] [-text text] [-unicodefiletext file] [-defsound ID] [-defanimation ID] [-tone10 file] [-tone10long file] [-tone12 file] [-tone12long file] [-toneSE file] [-toneSE- long file] [-variablebitmap file] [-variablebitmaplong file] [-animation frames file1 ...] Saves a SMS template (for Alcatel phones).

When use this option and text will be longer than 1 SMS, will be split into more linked SMS -autolen len specify, how many chars will be read. When use this option and text will be longer than 1 SMS, will be split into more linked SMS.Coding type (SMS default alphabet/Unicode) is set according to input text -enablevoice sms will set voice mail indicator. Text will be cut to 1 sms. -disablevoice sms will not set voice mail indicator. Text will be cut to 1 sms. -enablefax sms will set fax indicator. Text will be cut to 1 sms. -disablefax sms will not set fax indicator. Text will be cut to 1 sms. -enableemail sms will set email indicator. Text will be cut to 1 sms. -disableemail sms will not set email indicator. Text will be cut to 1 sms. -voidsms many phones after receiving it won't display any- thing, only beep, vibrate or turn on light. Text will be cut to 1 sms. -unicode SMS will be saved in Unicode format NOTE: The ~ char in SMS text and -unicode option (Unicode coding required) can cause text of SMS after ~ char blink in some phones (like Nokia 33xx). -inputunicode input text is in Unicode. NOTE: You can create Unicode file using WordPad in Windows (during saving select "Unicode Text Document" format). In Unix can use for example YUdit or vim. -text get text from command line instead of stdin. -textutf8 get text in UTF-8 from command line instead of stdin. NOTE: Gammu detects your locales and uses by default encoding based on this. Use this option only when you know the input will be in UTF-8 in all cases. -16bit Gammu uses SMS headers with 16-bit numbers for sav- ing linking info in SMS (it means less chars avail- able for user in each SMS) -replacemessages ID ID can be 1..7. When you will use option and send more single SMS to one recipient with the same ID, each another SMS will replace each previous with the same ID -replacefile file File with replacement table in unicode (UCS-2), preferably with byte order mark (BOM). It contains pairs of chars, first one is to replace, second is replacement one. The replacement is done after reading text for the message. For example replacement 1 (0x0061) with a (0x0031) would be done by file with following content (hex dump, first two bytes is BOM): ff fe 61 00 31 00 TODO file location Saves a message with a todo entry. The content will be read from any backup format which Gammu supports and from given location. VCARD10|VCARD21 file SM|ME location [-nokia] Read phonebook entry from file created by gammu backup command and saves in VCARD 1.0 (only name and default num- ber) or VCARD 2.1 (all entry details with all numbers, text and name) format as SMS. The location identifies po- sition of contact item to be read in backup file (usually 1, but can be useful in case the backup contains more items). WAPINDICATOR URL Title Saves a SMS with a WAP indication for given URL and title. WAPSETTINGS file location DATA|GPRS Read WAP settings from file created by gammu backup com- mand and saves in Nokia format as SMS sendsms TYPE destination [type parameters] [type options] [-smscset number] [-smscnumber number] [-reply] [-report] [-validity HOUR|6HOURS|DAY|3DAYS|WEEK|MAX] [-save [-folder number]] Sends a message to a destination number, most parameters are same as for gammu savesms. -save will also save message which is being sent -report request delivery report for message -validity HOUR|6HOURS|DAY|3DAYS|WEEK|MAX sets how long will be the message valid (SMSC will the dis- card the message after this time if it could not deliver it). setsmsc location number Set SMSC settings on SIM card. This keeps all SMSC configuration in- tact, it just changes the SMSC number. Locations are numerated from 1. Memory (phonebooks and calls) commands Memory types Gammu recognizes following memory types: DC Dialled calls MC Missed calls RC Received calls ON Own numbers VM voice mailbox SM SIM phonebook ME phone internal phonebook FD fixed dialling SL sent SMS log Memory commands deleteallmemory DC|MC|RC|ON|VM|SM|ME|MT|FD|SL Deletes all entries from specified memory type. For memory types description see Memory types. deletememory DC|MC|RC|ON|VM|SM|ME|MT|FD|SL start [stop] Deletes entries in specified range from specified memory type. For memory types description see Memory types. getallmemory DC|MC|RC|ON|VM|SM|ME|MT|FD|SL Get all memory locations from phone. For memory types description see Memory types. getmemory DC|MC|RC|ON|VM|SM|ME|MT|FD|SL start [stop [-nonempty]] Get memory location from phone. For memory types description see Memory types. Locations are numerated from 1. getspeeddial start [stop] Gets speed dial choices. searchmemory text Scans all memory entries for given text. It performs case insensi- tive substring lookup. You can interrupt searching by pressing Ctrl+C. Filesystem commands Gammu allows one to access phones using native protocol (Nokias) or OBEX. Your phone can also support usb storage, which is handled on the operating system level and Gammu does not use that. addfile folderID name [-type JAR|BMP|PNG|GIF|JPG|MIDI|WBMP|AMR|3GP|NRT] [-readonly] [-protected] [-system] [-hidden] [-newtime] Add file with specified name to folder with specified folder ID. -type File type was required for filesystem 1 in Nokia phones (cur- rent filesystem 2 doesn't need this). -readonly Sets the read only attribute. -protected Sets the protected attribute (file can't be for example for- warded from phone menu). -system Sets the system attribute. -hidden Sets the hidden attribute (file is hidden from phone menu). -newtime After using it date/time of file modification will be set to moment of uploading. addfolder parentfolderID name Create a folder in phone with specified name in a folder with speci- fied folder ID. deletefiles fileID Delete files with given IDs. deletefolder name Delete folder with given ID. getfilefolder fileID, fileID Retrieve files or all files from folder with given IDs from a phone filesytem. getfiles fileID, fileID Retrieve files with given IDs from a phone filesytem. getfilesystem [-flatall|-flat] Display info about all folders and files in phone memory/memory card. By default there is tree displayed, you can change it: -flatall there are displayed full file/folder details like ID (first parameter in line) -flat NOTE: In some phones (like N6230) content of some folders (with more files) can be cut (only part of files will be displayed) for ex- ample on infrared connection. This is not Gammu issue, but phone firmware problem. getfilesystemstatus Display info filesystem status - number of bytes available, used or used by some specific content. getfolderlisting folderID Display files and folders available in folder with given folder ID. You can get ID's using getfilesystem -flatall. WARNING: Please note, that in some phones (like N6230) content of some folders (with more files) can be cut (only part of files will be displayed) for example on infrared connection. This is not Gammu issue, but phone firmware problem. getrootfolders Display info about drives available in phone/memory card. sendfile name Sends file to a phone. It's up to phone to decide where to store this file and how to handle it (for example when you send vCard or vCalendar, most of phones will offer you to import it. setfileattrib folderID [-system] [-readonly] [-hidden] [-protected] Logo and pictures commands These options are mainly (there are few exceptions) for monochromatic logos and images available in older phones. Recognized file formats: xpm (only saving), 2-colors bmp, nlm, nsl, ngg, nol, wbmp, gif (for Samsung). In new models all bitmaps are saved in filesystem and should go into filesystem section copybitmap inputfile [outputfile [OPERATOR|PICTURE|STARTUP|CALLER]] Allow one to convert logos files to another. When give ONLY input- file, output will be written to stdout using ASCII art. When give output file and format, in some file formats (like NLM) will be set indicator informing about logo type to given. getbitmap TYPE [type options] Reads bitmap from phone, following types are supported: CALLER location [file] Get caller group logo from phone. Locations 1-5. DEALER In some models it's possible to save dealer welcome note - text displayed during enabling phone, which can't be edited from phone menu. Here you can get it. OPERATOR [file] Get operator logo (picture displayed instead of operator name) from phone. PICTURE location [file] Get Picture Image from phone. STARTUP [file] Get static startup logo from phone. Allow one to save it in file. TEXT Get startup text from phone. setbitmap TYPE [type options] Sets bitmap in phone, following types are supported: CALLER location [file] Set caller logo. COLOUROPERATOR [fileID [netcode]] Sets color operator logo in phone. COLOURSTARTUP [fileID] DEALER text Sets welcome message configured by dealer, which usually can not be changed in phone menus. OPERATOR [file [netcode]] Set operator logo in phone. When won't give file and netcode, operator logo will be removed from phone. When will give only filename, operator logo will be displayed for your current GSM operator. When you give additionally network code, it will be displayed for this operator. PICTURE file location [text] Sets picture image in phone. STARTUP file|1|2|3 Set startup logo in phone. It can be static (then you will have to give file name) or one of predefined animated (only some phones like Nokia 3310 or 3330 supports it, use location 1, 2 or 3 for these). TEXT text Sets startup text in phone. WALLPAPER fileID Sets wallpaper in phone. Ringtones commands Ringtones are mostly supported only for older phones. For recent phones you usually just upload them to some folder in phone filesystem. There are recognized various file formats by options described below: rttl, binary format created for Gammu, mid (saving), re (reading), ott, communi- cator, ringtones format found in fkn.pl, wav (saving), ime/imy (saving), rng, mmf (for Samsung). copyringtone source destination [RTTL|BINARY] Copy source ringtone to destination. getphoneringtone location [file] Get one of "default" ringtones and saves into file getringtone location [file] Get ringtone from phone in RTTL or BINARY format. Locations are numerated from 1. getringtoneslist playringtone file Play approximation of ringtone over phone buzzer. File can be in RTTL or BINARY (Nokia DCT3) format. playsavedringtone number Play one of built-in ringtones. This option is available for DCT4 phones. For getting ringtones list use gammu getringtoneslist. setringtone file [-location location] [-scale] [-name name] Set ringtone in phone. When don't give location, it will be written "with preview" (in phones supporting this feature like 61xx or 6210). -scale Scale information will be added to each note of RTTL ring- tone. It will avoid scale problems available during editing ringtone in composer from phone menu (for example, in Nokia 33xx). NOTE: When use ~ char in ringtone name, in some phones (like 33xx) name will blink later in phone menus. Calendar notes commands In Nokia 3310, 3315 and 3330 these are named "Reminders" and have some lim- itations (depending on phone firmware version). deletecalendar start [stop] Deletes selected calendar entries in phone. getallcalendar Retrieves all calendar entries from phone. getcalendar start [stop] Retrieves selected calendar entries from phone. To do list commands deletetodo start [stop] Deletes selected todo entries in phone. getalltodo Retrieves all todo entries from phone. gettodo start [stop] Retrieves selected todo entries from phone. Notes commands getallnotes Reads all notes from the phone. NOTE: Not all phones supports this function, especially most Sony Eric- sson phones even if they have notes inside phone. Date, time and alarm commands getalarm [start] Get alarm from phone, if no location is specified, 1 is used. getdatetime Get date and time from phone setalarm hour minute Sets repeating alarm in phone on selected time. setdatetime [HH:MM[:SS]] [YYYY/MM/DD] Set date and time in phone to date and time set in computer. Please note, that this option doesn't show clock on phone screen. It only set date and time. NOTE: You can make such synchronization each time, when will connect your phone and use Gammu. See SynchronizeTime in gammurc for de- tails. Categories commands NOTE: Categories are supported only on few phones (Alcatel). addcategory TODO|PHONEBOOK text getallcategory TODO|PHONEBOOK getcategory TODO|PHONEBOOK start [stop] listmemorycategory text|number listtodocategory text|number Backing up and restoring commands addnew file [-yes] [-memory ME|SM|..] Adds data written in file created using gammu backup command. All things backed up gammu backup can be restored (when made backup to Gammu text file). Please note that this adds all content of backup file to phone and does not care about current data in the phone (no duplicates are de- tected). Use -yes parameter to answer yes to all questions (you want to auto- matically restore all data). Use -memory parameter to force usage of defined memory type for storing entries regardless what backup format says. addsms folder file [-yes] Adds SMSes from file (format like gammu backupsms uses) to selected folder in phone. backup file [-yes] Backup your phone to file. It's possible to backup (depends on phone and backup format): * phonebook from SIM and phone memory * calendar notes * SMSC settings * operator logo * startup (static) logo or startup text * WAP bookmarks * WAP settings * caller logos and groups * user ringtones There are various backup formats supported and the backup format is guessed based on file extension: * .lmb - Nokia backup, supports contacts, caller logos and startup logo. * .vcs - vCalendar, supports calendar and todo. * .vcf - vCard, supports contacts. * .ldif - LDAP import, supports contacts. * .ics - iCalendar, supports calendar and todo. * Any other extension is Gammu backup file and it supports all data mentioned above, see gammu-backup for more details. By default this command is interactive and asks which items tou want to backup. Use -yes for answering yes to all questions. backupsms file [-yes|-all] Stores all SMSes from phone to file into gammu-smsbackup. By default this command is interactive and asks which folders you want to backup and whether you want to remove messages from phone afterwards. Use -yes for answering yes to all questions (backup all messages and delete them from phone), or -all to just backup all folders while keeping messages in phone. restore file [-yes] WARNING: Please note that restoring deletes all current content in phone. If you want only to add entries to phone, use gammu addnew. Restore settings written in file created using gammu backup command. In some phones restoring calendar notes will not show error, but won't be done, when phone doesn't have set clock inside. restoresms file [-yes] WARNING: Please note that this overwrites existing messages in phone (if it supports it). Restores SMSes from file (format like gammu backupsms uses) to se- lected folder in phone. savefile TYPE [type options] Converts between various file formats supported by Gammu, following types are supported: BOOKMARK target.url file location Converts backup format supported by Gammu to vBookmark file. CALENDAR target.vcs file location Allows one to convert between various backup formats which gammu supports for calendar events. The file type is guessed (for input file guess is based on extension and file content, for output solely on extension). TODO target.vcs file location Allows one to convert between various backup formats which gammu supports for todo events. The file type is guessed (for input file guess is based on extension and file content, for output solely on extension). VCARD10|VCARD21 target.vcf file SM|ME location Allows one to convert between various backup formats which gammu supports for phonebook events. The file type is guessed (for input file guess is based on extension and file content, for output solely on extension). SEE ALSO: gammu convertbackup convertbackup source.file output.file New in version 1.28.94. Converts backup between formats supported by Gammu. Unlike gammu savefile, this does not give you any options what to convert, it simply takes converts all what can be saved into output file. SEE ALSO: gammu savefile Nokia specific commands nokiaaddfile TYPE [type options] Uploads file to phone to specific location for the type: APPLICATION|GAME file [-readonly] [-overwrite] [-overwriteall] Install the *.jar/*.jad file pair of a midlet in the applica- tion or game menu of the phone. You need to specify filename without the jar/jad suffix, both will be added automatically. -overwrite Delete the application's .jad and .jar files before installing, but doesn't delete the application data. -overwriteall Delete the application (same as -overwrite) and all it's data. You can use jadmaker to generate a .jad file from a .jar file. GALLERY|GALLERY2|CAMERA|TONES|TONES2|RECORDS|VIDEO|PLAYLIST|MEMO- RYCARD file [-name name] [-protected] [-readonly] [-system] [-hid- den] [-newtime] nokiaaddplaylists Goes through phone memory and generated playlist for all music files found. To manually manage playlists: gammu addfile a:\\predefplaylist filename.m3u Will add playlist filename.m3u gammu getfilesystem Will get list of all files (including names of files with playlists) gammu deletefiles a:\\predefplaylist\\filename.m3u Will delete playlist filename.m3u Format of m3u playlist is easy (standard mp3 playlist): First line is #EXTM3U, next lines contain names of files (b:\file1.mp3, b:\folder1\file2.mp3, etc.). File needs t have \r\n terminated lines. So just run unix2dos on the resulting file before uploading it your your phone. nokiacomposer file Show, how to enter RTTL ringtone in composer existing in many Nokia phones (and how should it look like). nokiadebug filename [[v11-22] [,v33-44]...] nokiadisplayoutput nokiadisplaytest number nokiagetadc nokiagetoperatorname 6110.c phones have place for name for one GSM network (of course, with flashing it's possible to change all names, but Gammu is not flasher ;-)). You can get this name using this option. nokiagetpbkfeatures memorytype nokiagett9 This option should display T9 dictionary content from DCT4 phones. nokiagetvoicerecord location Get voice record from location and save to WAV file. File is coded using GSM 6.10 codec (available for example in win32). Name of file is like name of voice record in phone. Created WAV files require GSM 6.10 codec to be played. In Win XP it's included by Microsoft. If you deleted it by accident in this operating system, make such steps: 1. Control Panel 2. Add hardware 3. click Next 4. select "Yes. I have already connected the hardware 5. select "Add a new hardware device 6. select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list 7. select "Sound, video and game controllers 8. select "Audio codecs 9. select "windows\system32" directory and file "mmdriver.inf 10. if You will be asked for file msgsm32.acm, it should unpacked from Windows CD 11. now You can be asked if want to install unsigned driver (YES), about select codec configuration (select what you want) and re- botting PC (make it) nokiamakecamerashoot nokianetmonitor test Takes output or set netmonitor for Nokia DCT3 phones. SEE ALSO: For more info about this option, please visit Marcin's page and read netmonitor manual there. NOTE: test 243 enables all tests (after using command gammu nokianet- monitor 243 in some phones like 6210 or 9210 have to reboot them to see netmonitor menu) nokianetmonitor36 Reset counters from netmonitor test 36 in Nokia DCT3 phones.
