I can not really say much about the record format used in address book for Treo 650. However, I know from my experience that Treo 650 does not physically import SIM records on local database unlike Treo 600.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Erickson Sent: 22 July 2005 15:23 To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Another Treo 650 Address Book Post... Ive slowly found out that the Address Book on the many Tero 650s does not work as the PalmSource and Handspring docs say it should. In my debugging I have yet to find a way that I can search the address book for a given number. I know I have the code right since it works just fine on a 600 (Sprint). Does anyone know what changes have been made to the 650 that would cause this, or how to access the address book in a manner that a simple search can be done? Note, the code also works on the Treo 650 simulator. I have not had a chance to test it on all firmware versions for the 650, but Ive had some help testing on a few different ones, and none worked as they should (TMobile GSM, Sprint CDMA, Cingular GMS, Unlocked GSM). I am about to resort to doing the search myself, my only reservations are the fact I do not know enough about the AddressDB database that holds each contact. I assume there are difference on some devices with this DB, since the system calls are not working as they should. Maybe the name of the DB, or the type/creator, or the format of how each contact in placed in its record in the DB. Can anyone explain the structure of these records so i can safely parse them and pull out the data I need to do my search? I have looked into the database with FileZ, and can see all the fields in there, but the "header" of the record (first few bits of data) are a mystery to me. Any help on this subject would be greatly appretiated. -- Scott Erickson Software Engineer, FB-4, Inc.
