Re: Reading binary messages
is there a way to save/display the raw message so one can maybe extract
the URL manually somehow?
Although, bluesms.py mentioned at other placed in the thread is
nice...here is a snippet that does exactly what you want to do...
#!/usr/bin/env python
import dbus
import subprocess
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
msgs_obj = bus.get_object(org.freesmartphone.opimd,
/org/freesmartphone/PIM/Messages)
msgsIFace = dbus.Interface(msgs_obj, org.freesmartphone.PIM.Messages)
queryPath = msgsIFace.Query({'SMS-alphabet':'binary', 'Direction':'in'})
queryObj = bus.get_object(org.freesmartphone.opimd, queryPath)
queryIFace = dbus.Interface(queryObj, org.freesmartphone.PIM.MessageQuery)
count = queryIFace.GetResultCount()
msgs = queryIFace.GetMultipleResults(count)
queryIFace.Dispose()
for msg in msgs:
sender = msg[Sender]
smsData = msg[SMS-data]
smsStr = ''
for charData in smsData:
character = chr(int(charData))
smsStr = smsStr + character
msgPath = msg[Path]
#subProc = subprocess.Popen([file, -bi, -],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
#msgType = subProc.communicate(smsStr)[0].strip()
#msgObj = bus.get_object(org.freesmartphone.opimd, msgPath)
#msgIFace = dbus.Interface(msgObj, org.freesmartphone.PIM.Message)
#msgIFace.Update({'SMS-content_mime':msgType})
print *
print Sender: + sender
print msgPath: + msgPath
print msgType: + msgType
print content following
print smsStr
print

Re: Reading binary messages
that's an incorrect assumption. my providers only send one SMS indicating i have an MMS to read. there isn't a second SMS with a public URL. therefore i have zero chance of reading it unless i use my own software to fetch the MMS and render it by hand.

Re: Reading binary messages
you can't. there is no guarantee by your provider that you can read MMS messages on any given phone. unless you bought a phone that indicates it can do MMS and you receive one, great. if you have a black and white dinosaur phone that doesn't do graphics and you get an MMS, you're just plain out of luck if your provider doesn't also send you a URL to read it from your PC.

Helge Hafting I got an MMS last week and looked around if i can find some dokumentation for MMS. I found this page [1] with the spezification. But i didn't feeled like looking at it. It's a bit too much. Perhaps someone can summerize the data format. After that implementing is a lot easier, i think.

Indeed, thoses are probably mms notifications, but i can't be sure. When receiving this kind of notifications, the FR should at least decline the reception or notify the service provider that it's unable to read this kind of messages.

Is this actually difficult or is it a matter of nobody having the time / care to do it? Reading MMS should be quite easy technically. The effort is integrating it in FSO in an elegant and robust way to do some automagically retrieve, handling the case if a GRPS connection is already up with different apn, if you changed the sim and so on. For the GUI part it should be only a matter of showing pics/play streams etc. FSO founded a company providing professional support, so I just guess that if someone will fund them we may have MMS support quite quickly ;) Nicola ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
