Experiment Samsung Wave 533 Linux

Just started with an experiment of connecting my phone samsung wave 533.

Though this phone doesn't have a great features like any other higher end, I face some tough time to copy/paste message from Internet to send SMS.
Unfortunately I didn't know about the device interface provided in Linux for Samsung.
A day when I was trying to connect my phone to transfer some files to my SD card (Yes, I don't have a direct SD card interface in my laptop) I ended failing to connect.
But what I have noticed at that time is the 'dmesg' showing

[53218.288051] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
[53220.027116] cdc_acm 1-4:1.0: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem.
[53220.027428] cdc_acm 1-4:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[53220.033976] cdc_acm 1-4:1.3: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem.
[53220.034308] cdc_acm 1-4:1.3: ttyACM1: USB ACM device
[53220.044895] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm
[53220.044900] cdc_acm: v0.26:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters

a tty basically a serial device got detected. Time to play around now
launched minicom, connected to the /dev/ttyACM0 and executed a basic command
AT
got reply
OK

Cool. Now time to find some software to send and receive sms from my phone in Linux.

Gnokii installed and configured it

$ cat gnokii-samsung-wave-533

[global]
port = /dev/ttyACM0
model = AT
connection = serial
serial_baudrate = 38400
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/
use_locking = yes

$ sudo gnokii --config gnokii-samsung-wave-533 --identify
GNOKII Version 0.6.29
IMEI : 353926040348475
Manufacturer : Broadcom
Model : GT-S5330
Product name : GT-S5330
Revision : BCM2133x_SW_Release

My experiment ended satisfyingly success. Now I'm ending here for samsung wave 533 connectivity for linux. Gnokii will take it further to send and receive sms from your samsung wave 533.

Further from here, can do dial-up using the serial device to connect GPRS If Im not wrong ACM1 should be for that purpose, so will write shortly if I found any information.

Every person is a book.

Every person is a book.

some we read only the preface,

some we only see what they have (content),
some we recognize by others feedback,
some we read half way through,
some we read fully,
but fact is we have limitation in understanding everyone
and its only to the person's perception who read them.

and even when we close a book fully read, we wont remember each and everyline
but we remember them as a concept based on our understanding

Every person is a book and only the author understand him (God and himself)

A Nice Article about Love

A Nice Article about Love : ( by Swami Vivekananda )

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

# Give and don't expect.

# Advise, but don't order.

# Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....
