iSync 1.0 hacking

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
Been out for hours and I'm asking already.



My P800 won't sync with iSync. It won't find it. Anyone got any ideas as to how I might make iSync think my phone is a T68?

    Sorry to hear Harald. The sonyericsson site even has a stupid flash-animation that shows the P800 syncing with a mac (through a cable)... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    Correction, the animation shows the P800 using bluetooth, and the t68 using a cable, ofcourse its just a marketing animation.

    Can you hear my teeth grinding



    You can actually plug the P800 (did I mention how yummy it was?) into a USB port. Still won't bloody work.

    Well, the P800 is not listed as a supported phone under iSync. I think if it were as simple as tricking iSync into thinking the P800 was a T68, Apple would have included support for it.

    You mean like dock pinning in OS X v 10.0?



    Or translucent terminal windows?



    Hence the word "hacking" in the title.



    I know for a fact (a real live genuine fact) that there's a build somewhere that works with the P800 ... I also know for a stone cold FACTY FACT FACT that the basic sync protocol underlying Sony Ericsson's devices -- or rather the implementation of SyncML is identical.



    A hack will do it, I tell you.



    (That is if there's no voodoo with the P800 Bluetooth implementation as I begin to suspect).

    So you're conceding that perhaps a hack might not do it

    I found something in /System/Library/CoreServices/SyncServer.app/Contents/Resources/ but it may not be what you want.



    does the p800 have bluetooth ?

    Defiant, yes it does.



    Jack, a hack MAY not do it. In fact, there's mounting evidence it won't (a very interesting thread on Apple's dicusscion boards which point to the bluetooth on the P800 being fukced).



    However, it ain't the case that stuff that's simple to do necessarily has a simple way of doing it in OS X. I'm surprised atcha!

    Very funny: found in the English lproj files in the path above, written by some Apple engineer ...
