gnokii and Nokia 2330c-2

[Roberto Verzola]

I have been using gnokii with Nokia 2330c-2 (model number inside the 
phone) since I managed to make gnokii work with it a few weeks ago.

--getsms works with the -f and -a options.
--sendsms also works fine

But getsms with the -d option (delete after reading) causes a major 
problem. Here are some indications of the problem:
- the inbox # shown in the cellphone is different from the inbox # in 
gnokii.

- Gnokii's --getsms -d seems to delete the contents on the phone, but 
the phone thinks the message are still there, because the cursor still 
moves over a blank header and when I try to display the message, 
"Opening message" flashes on the screen, and then back to the blank 
header. which suggests that not all parts of the message were deleted 
from the phone memory. Thus my 2330c-2 inbox memory was in an 
indeterminate status.
As more messages came in, that seemed to put portions of the memory back 
in working order, but there remained inbox numbers which had blank 
headers and contents, yet appeared to exist as message, because the 
cursor with allot them space on the screen (a blank space though). After 
nearly two hundred messages had come in, I powered off the phone, then 
after a while powered it on again, hoping that some initialization 
during power on would make things right. Instead, most of the messages 
disappeared! Instead of the nearly 200 messages, there were only 2, Yet 
while the phone kept telling me there were only 2 in my inbox, gnokii 
--getsmsfolderstatus on the other hand said there were 197. However, a 
gnokii --getsms IN 1 end would return the error message "Getting SMS 
failed (location 3 from IN memory)! (Problem occurred internal to model 
specific code.)" But a gnokii-getsms IN 1 197 would show the same error 
message from location 3 to around 10 and then display the old lost 
messages up to 197.

Up to now, my phone's inbox memory is in an indeterminate state. I've 
tried the erase all messages in folder command in the phone, until it 
showed 0 messages according to the phone. But gnokii --getsmsfolder 
status would still show 197.

I would suggest that the -d option be disabled for the 2330c-2 model, 
until this serious problem is corrected. You can just imagine a phone 
owner's opinion of gnokii after it mangles his phone's internal inbox 
memory.

Greetings to all,
