Make your moto phones ring and vibrate simultaneously

[ageraldnaveen]

@ageraldnaveen
i have found a evtl. bug
after connecting with my computer over usb i have to restart your programm.

btw. thank you for your great work.

@swifty:
over USB as storage or modem? bcoz i 've always been connecting as modem, and i've had no issues so far. I only restart if i restart the phone. for now, I am not able to think of why the process should exit when I connect thru USB. I will try connecting as USB modem and check.

@ageraldnaveen
usb mass storage

@ageraldnaveen
usb mass storage

Even though I am able to figure out why the application exits, I am not able to figure out a cleaner way of solving this issue.

Reason: My application is looking for events from the modem (for incoming calls). When we connect thru USB storage, the modem is disabled (as modem, storage are exclusive modes in a780), and so the program exits or looses control thereafter.

I cant offhand think of a reason how this could be resolved.

I have reached a dead end in trying to implement vibration for SMS. Unfortunately, unlike incoming calls, incoming SMS is notified with only one mux, which is already in use by the messaging system to receive the SMS and put it into inbox. If I try to intercept that mux, then our phone cannot receive SMS. Since no other mux is getting notified, i am not able to capture that event at all leading to being close to dropping this idea

I will update this thread if I get some new light on this..

In my computer there is no such file "drivers/ezx_vibrator.h"
Would you please upload a "drivers" tar ball?
thanks a lot!

So sad...it doesn't work on E680i...

Little Info - there were the same problem on a1000. We have vibbor - application that enables both ringing and haptics in the same time. So it is only matter of idea how to make this

Hi,

theres just something i wanted to mention: Gpm is able to repeat mouse data to X if its running. so both can access one devie simultaneously. Possibly you can use something in a similar way.

And now something highly speculative:
As far as I know the kernel (not sure for 2.4) is able to notify programs of files who are being accessed by some system called inotify - this is also used by kde for their ioslaves.

Im not a kernel developer or something but I just wanted to mention it. I hope i dont sound like a smartass.

thanks very much gerald

thats very valid observation. even I figured out recently that, I am able to run two applications to use the /dev/mux devices at the same time. for example, two instances of my vibrator, both able to read successfully sametime and react. may be is that bcoz of some problem with telephony apps or is it bcoz, multiple readers does not hurt, but only writers (telephony)? speculating

thanks for sharing about inotify, I will try to look at it, and use it (if not here, somewhere else)

is it suitable for e680/i
