I’m using Ubuntu for quite a while now. I was wondering if it would be possible to sync my phone with bluetooth to Evolution. After Googling around for quite some time I discovered how it’s done. Using Multisync to synchronize Nokia 6230i phone with Evolution on Xubuntu Gutsy.
1. Installing new software
# aptitude install bluez-passkey-gnome bluez-gnome
#aptitude install libopensync0 libpisync0 libsyncml0 multisync opensyncutils python-opensync opensyncutils opensync-plugin-evolution opensync-plugin-syncml multisync-tools multisync0.90
2. Configure msynctool
$msynctool –addgroup nokia
$msynctool –addmember nokia evo2-sync
$msynctool –addmember nokia syncml-obex-client
$hcitool scan
Should return the phone’s mac addres.
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx PhoneName
3. Configuring Multisync tool
- Run Multisync-qad
Notice msync has created a group named ‘nokia’ with members.
- Edit group ‘nokia’
- Add config to member syncml-obex-client
<bluetooth_address>’phone mac addres’</bluetooth_address>
<bluetooth_channel>11</bluetooth_channel>
<interface>0</interface>
<identifier>PC Suite</identifier>
<version>1</version>
<wbxml>1</wbxml>
<username></username>
<password></password>
<type>2</type>
<usestringtable>1</usestringtable>
<onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
<recvLimit>10000</recvLimit>
<maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
<contact_db>Contacts</contact_db>
<calendar_db>Calendar</calendar_db>
<note_db>Notes</note_db>
</config>
- Alter settings of member ‘evo2-sync’
Set Addressbook, Calendar, and Tasks to corresponding Evolution items.
4. Testing & troubleshooting
By clicking refresh the sync is started.
I’ve used a Nokia E-series tutorial and altered it to use it with 6230i series. On the OpenSuse page is a list of tested devices that was very helpful.
If your phone doesn’t get connected try altering the bluetooth_channel.
