Have you had a look at dmesg ? sometimes I find that certian usb things dont automatically give me a connection but I can usually find the device name in a dmesg output and mount it myself -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

If I try to mount /dev/ttyACM0 as a drive, I get an error message telling me that /dev/ttyACM0 is not a block device. I see that someone here has typed out the complete set of instructions that comes in the Samsung M800 user manual regarding how to transfer data between the phone and a computer: http://www.forensicfocus.com/index.php?name=Forumsfile=viewtopict=3490 That's exactly what I have in my user manual, too. As you can see, everything apparently happens by magic on Windows. (I don't have any Windows machines so I can't try this out, though.) I think my problem is that I have to somehow get Fedora to recognize the phone as a mass storage device instead of a modem. But I can't find anything that tells me how to do that. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
samsung m800
My cell phone was dying so I got a shiny new Samsung M800 to replace it. This phone browses the web, takes pictures, makes coffee and puts the cat out; my old phone was pretty much just a phone. I hooked it up to my computer and got this in /var/log/messages: Nov 17 22:33:06 mutt kernel: VendorID=8086h, DeviceID=340ah, Bus=00h, Device=03h, Function=00h Nov 17 22:33:12 mutt kernel: usb 7-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Nov 17 22:33:13 mutt kernel: usb 7-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6640 Nov 17 22:33:13 mutt kernel: usb 7-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Nov 17 22:33:13 mutt kernel: usb 7-2: Product: SAMSUNG CDMA Technologies Nov 17 22:33:13 mutt kernel: usb 7-2: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG Electronics Co.,Ltd.

I thought I would be able to mount the thing to download the pictures and copy mp3's onto the phone and so forth and so on. How do I do that? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
