--nokiagetoperatorname

6110.c phones have place for name for one GSM network (of course, with flashing it's possible to change all names, but Gammu is not flasher ;-)). You can get this name using this option.

--nokiasetoperatorname networkcode name

--nokiadisplayoutput

--nokiasetvibralevel level

Set vibra power to "level" (given in percent)

--nokiagetvoicerecord location

--nokiasecuritycode

Get/reset to "12345" security code

--nokiatests

Make tests for Nokia DCT3 phones

NOTE: EEPROM test can show error, when your phone has EEPROM in flash (like in 82xx/7110/62xx/33xx). The same Clock test will show error when phone doesn't have internal battery for clock (like 3xxx)

--nokiasetphonemenus

Enable all (?) possible menus for DCT3 Nokia phones:

1. ALS (Alternative Line Service) option menu 2. vibra menu for 3210 3. 3315 features in 3310 5.45 and higher 4. two additional games (React and Logic) for 3210 5.31 and higher 5. WellMate menu for 6150 6. NetMonitor

1. ALS (Alternative Line Service) option menu 2. Bluetooth, WAP bookmarks and settings menu, ... (6310i) 3. GPRS Always Online

--nokianetmonitor test

Takes output or set netmonitor for Nokia DCT3 phones.

TIP: For more info about this option, please visit and read netmonitor manual.

TIP: test 243 enables all tests (after using command gammu --nokianetmonitor 243 in some phones like 6210 or 9210 have to reboot them to see netmonitor menu)

--nokianetmonitor36

Reset counters from netmonitor test 36 in Nokia DCT3 phones.

TIP: For more info about this option, please visit and read netmonitor manual.

--siemensnetmonitor

--backup file

Backup your phone to file. It's possible to backup (depends on phone):

* phonebook from SIM and phone memory * calendar notes * SMSC settings * operator logo * startup (static) logo or startup text * WAP bookmarks * WAP settings * caller logos and groups * user ringtones

when use text backup files. List can be extended on request.

TIP: if you will backup settings to Gammu text file, it will be possible to edit it. It's easy: many things in this file will be written double - once in Unicode, once in ASCII. When you will remove Unicode version Gammu will use ASCII on --restore (and you can easy edit ASCII text) and will convert it according to your OS locale. When will be available Unicode version of text, it will be used instead of ASCII (usefull with Unicode phones - it isn't important, what locale is set in computer and no conversion Unicode -> ASCII and ASCII -> Unicode is done).

TIP: you can use any editor with regular expressions function to edit backup text file. Example: TextPad 4.2.2 from http://www.textpad.com/ with regular expressions based on POSIX standard P1003.2 is OK for it. Few examples for it:

* to remove info about voice tags: FROM: ^Entry\([0-9][0-9]\)VoiceTag = \(.*\)\n TO:

* to change all numbers starting from +3620, +3630, +3660, +3670 to +3620 Find: Type = NumberGeneral\nEntry\([0-9][0-9]\)Text = "\+36\(20\|30\|60\|70\) Repl: Type = NumberMobile\nEntry\1Text = "\+3620

* to change phone numbers type to mobile for numbers starting from +3620, +3630,... and removing the corresponding TextUnicode line F: Type = NumberGeneral\nEntry\([0-9][0-9]\)Text = "\+36\([2367]0\)\([^\"]*\)"\nEntry\([0-9][0-9]\)TextUnicode = \([^\n]*\)\n R: Type = NumberMobile\nEntry\1Text = "\+36\2\3"\n

--backupsms file

--restore file

Restore settings written in file created using --backup option. All things backup'ed by --backup can be restored (when made backup to Gammu text file).

In some phones restoring calendar notes will not show error, but won't be done, when phone doesn't have set clock inside.

--restoresms file

--addnew file

--clearall

--decodesniff MBUS2|IRDA file [phonemodel]

Option available only, if Gammu was compiled with debug. Allows to decode sniffs. See /docs/develop/develop.txt for more details.

--decodebinarydump file [phonemodel]

After using option logfile with name binary (see /readme.txt for info about this method of reporting bugs) created file can be decoded using this option. It's available only, if Gammu was compiled with debug.
