SE V600i and 10.4.8
Hi all.
I just spent a few hours trying to find how to make my Sony Ericsson V600i properly work with 10.4.8 and decided to share my experience in case anyone is having the same problems.
This phone supposedly works without any problem, since iSync 2.3 supports it, but the truth is that my older plugin for 2.2 was working wayyy better.
With iSync 2.3 the address book transfer would abort after the transfer of approximately 50 contacts and it was impossible to use the mac address book to send SMS or call a number.
Since my old 2.2 plugin no longer works, i tried to replicate the same changes directly on iSync info that I found on the web.
So truly I'm not the one who discovered this procedures, I'm just putting them here to be easier for the next person to find them.
To make contacts properly sync:
The solution is to modify the plist containing the phone definition:
1) Go in Applications->iSync->(Show Package Contents)->Contents-PluginsApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice-Contents-Plugins->Phone Models.phoneplugin->Contents-Resources
2) In there, open the file Metaclasses.plist in TextEdit and look for com.sony-ericsson.K600 and replace just below "family.com.sony.ericsson.syncml-phones-2004-obexbug" with "family.com.sony-ericsson.irmc-old-phones".
To use the Address Book's bluetooth options:
1) Quit and backup your Address Book
2) Control click on the Address Book app, select Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents -> Resources.
Control click on Telephony.bundle, Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents -> Resources
3) Open ABDeviceCommandSets.plist with Property List Editor (or a text editor to change the XML in a more primitive way)
Find this array in the ABDeviceCommandSets.plist: Root -> 1 -> ABDeviceModelStrings ... you should see three string entries here, T610, T630 and Z600. Add another string entry with the value V600i.
4) Save and quit
And that's it.
Turn bluetooth off, delete your previous sync and set up your phone again.
It should work just fine know.

My Macbook is experiencing the same problems (I believe it's 10.4.8 - I tend to install right when the updates come out). However, currently I can't get it to stay running long enough to actually check. What was the solution to the problem? At this point the Macbook is completely unusable...

Ideas?? sony v600i syncing with osx10.3 and isync 1.5
hello folks
i was searching the forum to find any useful solution for my problem. seems like there're a few people arround with simu. probs.
i just got a sony ericsson v600i as upgrade from vod+f+ and tried to sync it with my good ol' g3B/W. i did use the usb, not the bluetooth.
nothing happend, isync can't find the phone. as i looked into system preferences it was shown as device on a usb-slot. ????, even my powerbook wont do anything with the phone.
i remember i had simular probs with the t610, but after a while (i don't know how) it was working fine.
apples isync supports the v600i only with isync 2.1 wich comes with tiger, i wont buy tiger!
so, even sony wont help. any ideas or solutions for my phone, shareware etc.
thanks for now...
cya, greetings from ireland......hi.
I've just been to vodashop and the retailer assure me that the sony ericsson v600 is compatible with mac. Although i am not with tiger ( so i have only isync 1.5) and was wondering if this phone could be isync(ed)??
Of course i am mainly interested by sync with address book.
As any body succeded with these devices? i.e pb 10.3.9, isync and the phone
thanks -
New sony Ericsson V600i isync compatability
Please HELP!
I needed a phone to sync with my contacts. I was first sold a Nokia 9300 Communicator, then I bought a motorola RAZR V3 ( neither worked with isync, as the sales agents had promised) Then I was told this Sony Ericsson V600i would definitly work with my Mac!
They still dont pair up..
Please advize...
Thank you
AndrewAha! Here is the answer: it seems that one cannot run the Bluetooth File Exchange app at the same time as iSync, in order for the sync to work properly. I quit the Bluetooth File Exchange and am now happy as Larry.
I hope this helps others. -
How to Transfer contacts from Sony-Ericcson V600i to Xperia Neo V
Dear sirs,
how can i transter contacts etc from my old Sony-Ericcson vodafone V600i to my new Xperia Neo V ?
Any pc trasfer will require pc suite ( wich i dont find nowhere ) and pc companion or the two software are incompatible .
I tried to connect v600i with pc companion a) by bluetooth (cant be done) and b) by usb (xp need drivers wich i can find also ) .
Any suggestions will be appreciated
thanks
AkefalosDr_Chris is correct and this should indeed work. However from my experience with the phone you have; please ensure that you have at least 5MB of free space on the phones memory before connecting or this will play havoc with the connection.

Sony Ericsson V600i PC Suite installation
Some assistance "please":
I have what seems to be an antique in a Sony Ericsson V600i mobile phone and although I can find no information or recognition this phone even exists on the web site, it's operation is perfect and I have no intention to change.
My concern is I cannot "run" a PC Suite on my computer to up and download information from the phone/computer.
The latest Suite I have is version 6.011.00 and when installed it "will not" recognise my V600i. Previous installations of 3.209.00 and 6.009.00 also achieved nothing in respect to recognising the V600i
I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit.
Is the problem me, the "old" V600i or something I am not seeing ?
Thanks indeedSE phones usually connect with PC suite in phone/PC USB mode and it sounds that your phone simply isn't compatible with PC suite.
What are the options for USB mode on this phone? You should still be able to transfer files between PC and the phone either via USB connection in "mass storage" USB mode whereby your phone will appear as a separate removable drive,or wirelessly via Bluetooth as long as both your PC and phone are enabled for this. -
A problem with Threads and loops.
Hi, I have some code that needs to be constantly running, like while(true)
//code here
}However, the code just checks to see if the user has input anything (and then if the user has, it goes to do some other stuff) so I don't need it constantly running and hogging up 98% of the CPU. So I made my class (which has the method that needs to be looped, call it ClassA) implement Runnable. Then I just added the method which needed to be looped into the public void run()
I have another class which creates an instance of the above class (call it ClassB), and the main(String[] args) is in there.
public static void main(String[] args)
ClassA test = new ClassA();
Thread thread = new Thread(test.getInstanceOfClassA());
thread.start();
while(true)
//I do not know what to put here
try
thread.sleep(100);
catch(InterruptedException iex)
}However, the thread only calls run() once,(duh...) but I can't think of away to get it to run - sleep - run -sleep forever. Can someone help me?Hi, I have some code that needs to be constantly
running, like while(true)
//code here
}However, the code just checks to see if the user has
input anything (and then if the user has, it goes to
do some other stuff) so I don't need it constantly
running and hogging up 98% of the CPU. Where does the user input come from. Are you reading from an InputStream? If so, then your loop will be blocked anyway when reading from the InputStream until data is available. During that time, the loop will not consume processor cycles.
public static void main(String[] args)
ClassA test = new ClassA();
Thread thread = new Thread(test.getInstanceOfClassA());I have never seen this idiom. If ClassA instanceof Runnable, you simply write new Thread(test).
thread.start();
while(true)
//I do not know what to put
do not know what to put here
try
thread.sleep(100);
catch(InterruptedException iex)
}However, the thread only calls run() once,(duh...)Yeah, why would you want to call it more than once given that you have an infinite loop in ClassA.run()?

A problem with Threads and MMapi
I am tring to execute a class based on Game canvas.
The problem begin when I try to Play both a MIDI tone and to run an infinit Thread loop.
The MIDI tone "Stammers".
How to over come the problem?
Thanks in advance
Kobi
See Code example below:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Image;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.GameCanvas;
import javax.microedition.media.Manager;
import javax.microedition.media.MediaException;
import javax.microedition.media.Player;
public class MainScreenCanvas extends GameCanvas implements Runnable {
private MainMIDlet parent;
private boolean mTrucking = false;
Image imgBackgound = null;
int imgBackgoundX = 0, imgBackgoundY = 0;
Player player;
public MainScreenCanvas(MainMIDlet parent)
super(true);
this.parent = parent;
try
imgBackgound = Image.createImage("/images/area03_bkg0.png");
imgBackgoundX = this.getWidth() - imgBackgound.getWidth();
imgBackgoundY = this.getHeight() - imgBackgound.getHeight();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
* starts thread
public void start()
mTrucking = true;
Thread t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
* stops thread
public void stop()
mTrucking = false;
public void play()
try
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/sounds/scale.mid");
player = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/midi");
player.setLoopCount(-1);
player.prefetch();
player.start();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
public void run()
Graphics g = getGraphics();
play();
while (true)
tick();
input();
render(g);
* responsible for object movements
private void tick()
* response to key input
private void input()
int keyStates = getKeyStates();
if ((keyStates & LEFT_PRESSED) != 0)
imgBackgoundX++;
if (imgBackgoundX > 0)
imgBackgoundX = 0;
if ((keyStates & RIGHT_PRESSED) != 0)
imgBackgoundX--;
if (imgBackgoundX < this.getWidth() - imgBackgound.getWidth())
imgBackgoundX = this.getWidth() - imgBackgound.getWidth();
* Responsible for the drawing
* @param g
private void render(Graphics g)
g.drawImage(imgBackgound, imgBackgoundX, imgBackgoundY, Graphics.TOP | Graphics.LEFT);
this.flushGraphics();
}You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

N.B. And yes there are more articles and tutorials available but much of them targets the Java SE / EE, but if you want to read them here is [another great one straight from SUN|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html] .

Problem with Threads and a static variable
I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
protected static void Init(){
objMainProcess = new Thread() {
public void run() {
while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
GetState();
objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
objMainProcess.start();
public static void initStatusTimer(){
if(objTimer == null)
objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
SetState();
private static void SetState(){
if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
bChanged = true;
try{
objMainProcess.notify();
}catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
private static boolean GetState() {
if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
if( bChanged) {
SendMessage();
bChanged = false;
return true;
try {
objMainProcess.wait();
}catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
return false;
}Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,

Problem with Threads and "plase wait..."-Window
Hi everyone,
I have a problem that I'm not able to solve in any way... I have a time-consuming task (a file decryption) which I execute in a separate thread; I've used the SwingWorker class, like suggested by sun-tutorial, and it works right. The problem is that I have to wait that the decryption have finished before continuing with program-execution. Therefore I would like to display a "please wait"-window while the task runs. I've tryed all the possible ways I know but the problem is always the same: the waitWindow is displayed empty, the bounds are painted but the contents no; it's only painted when the decrypt-task has finished. Please help me, I have no more resources....
decrypt-file code:
public class DecryptFile {
private String cryptedFileNameAndPath;
private ByteArrayInputStream resultStream = null;
// need for progress
private int lengthOfTask;
private int current = -1;
private String statMessage;
public DecryptFile(String encZipFileNameAndPath) {
cryptedFileNameAndPath = encZipFileNameAndPath;
//Compute length of task...
// 0 for indeterminate
lengthOfTask = 0;
public ByteArrayInputStream getDecryptedInputStream() {
return this.resultStream;
* Called from ProgressBarDemo to start the task.
public void go() {
current = -1;
final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
public Object construct() {
return new ActualTask();
worker.start();
* Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much work needs
* to be done.
public int getLengthOfTask() {
return lengthOfTask;
* Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much has been done.
public int getCurrent() {
return current;
public void stop() {
current = lengthOfTask;
* Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out if the task has completed.
public boolean done() {
if (current >= lengthOfTask)
return true;
else
return false;
public String getMessage() {
return statMessage;
* The actual long running task. This runs in a SwingWorker thread.
class ActualTask {
ActualTask () {
current = -1;
statMessage = "";
resultStream = AIUtil.getInputStreamFromEncZip(cryptedFileNameAndPath); //here the decryption happens
current = 0;
statMessage = "";
}The code that calls decryption and displays waitWindow
final WaitSplash wS = new WaitSplash("Please wait...");
final DecryptFile cryptedTemplate = new DecryptFile (this.templateFile);
cryptedTemplate.go();
while (! cryptedTemplate.done()) {
try {
wait();
} catch (Exception e) { }
this.templateInputStream = cryptedTemplate.getDecryptedInputStream();
wS.close();Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance!
EdoardoMaybe you can try setting the priority of the long-running thread to be lower? so that the UI will be more responsive...

Problem with threads and graphics
I have a thread that chooses paths for a Travelling salesman problem, it then calls a TSPdraw class and passes it the path, which the class then draws. the problem is when i have two threads it creates two windows but only draws a path in one of them. any ideas where i`m going wrong
Are you using swing components? Swing isn't threadsafe. If you have multiple threads that want to update your UI you need to use the SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...)or invokeAndWait(...). There is a page in the swing tutorial about this at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html

Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor
Dear Friends:
I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
I use something like this:
LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
myTask.start();
myTask.join();
Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
What's wrong?Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating -
Problem with threads and/or memory
I'm developing an application where there are 3 threads. One of them sends a request to the other, and if the 2nd can't answer it, it sends it to the 3rd (similar to CPU -> CACHE -> MEMORY). When i run the program with 1000-10.000 requests, no problem occurs. When i run it with 300.000-1.000.000 requests, it sometimes hangs. Is this a problem with the garbage collector, or should it be related to the threads mecanism.
(note: eache thread is in execution using a finite state machine)i had been running the program inside Netbeans.
Running the jar using the command line outside
Netbeans i have no more problems... Does Netbeans use
it's own JVM?Depends how you set it up, but look under the options. There are settings for the compiler and jvm that it uses. -
What is the difference between these two lines of codes?
String currentFile = null;
String currentFile = "";
Edited by: AMARSHI on Jul 10, 2008 7:07 AMThe reference variable itself, takes up the same amount of space, of course, as all references are the same size. Now, the object on the heap is a different story. With null there isn't one, of course (or if there is there is only one for the entire VM), and for the second a String object will be created in the String pool (once again, only one for the entire VM that every = "" assignment will use). But really, what difference does it make? If there is a difference, it is on the order of a few bytes (at max) for the entire VM, and if this is a concern, your probably doing something else greviously wrong. This miniscule difference should not concern you.
Edit: And "nulling" variables to "save" memory is also not something you should be concerned with. Either the variable will go out of scope and the object garbage collected anyway, or it's in constant use and so will not be taking up any extraneous heap space. If one of those is not the case, you are, once again, doing something greviously wrong. -
And/or if statement in rtf templates.
Hi all,
I'm using XML Publisher 4.5.
I have created a word template file (rtf) for my reports. I need to be able to show some content in the template file by using and and/or if statement.
fx. <?if:doc_type='STANDARD'?> OR <?if:doc_type='DEFAULT'?>
How can I do this?
In advance thank you.
Best regards
KennethHi D,
Thank you for your answer.
I have seriously thought about that solution; but I don't think it's a smart way to do it.
If i do it like that, i need to copy the whole table and paste it inside the if statements.
I have two xml elements that I need to make the decisions on. POH_PO_TYPE & CP_RELEASE_NUM.
POH_PO_TYPE can be: STANDARD, RELEASE or BLANKET.
CP_RELEASE_NUM can be: '' or N
If POH_PO_TYPE is RELEASE AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is not ''
OR POH_PO_TYPE is STANDARD
OR POH_PO_TYPE is BLANKET AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is ''
THEN show table (which contains the whole PO).
It shall show the content of the PO in any of these cases.

Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
please please help me.Hi,
I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
Please refer to the link below for the statement:
