This is a cross-post/reiteration of a question I asked on the comm dev forum (which is
pretty slow...).
I tried to use the Telephony API to programmatically turn on the phone in a Tungsten
W. There is a SIM installed in the phone and it works with the Mobile app.
When I try to call the Telephony API:
err = TelIsPowServiceAvailable(g->teleRefNum, g->teleAppId, NULL);
if(!err)
{
err = TelPowSetPhonePower(g->teleRefNum, g->teleAppId, true);
if(!err)
g->on = true;
}
The call goes out and turns on the phone. Since it is a synchronous call, it pauses a
bit and returns noErr. However, the OS is off doing things and after a bit it
displays the alert: "Mobile Error: SIM was not found. Check that.... (Tel 2F11)".
Pressing OK on that alert dismisses the alert and I can watch as the flashing red
antenna light turns to a flashing green antenna light.
So, the SIM card was there, just not when the OS wanted it to be at the beginning of
this event cascade.
I have tried wait loops, registering for the "future use" SysNotifyPhoneEvent
notification, but I cannot make the system wait for the PowerOn event to get the SIM
card in the loop, so to speak - it's always about 5 seconds too late.
Is this network specific (Cingular, GSM)? Do I need to issue other calls first to
ensure the SIM card is in and activated? One person asked this question long ago on
the comm forum, but as far as I can see he never received an answer (gok, where are
you? Did you ever get this working?). Is anyone getting this stuff to work?
Thanks,
Kevin
