This is the first time I've come across where the Hyper Terminal test works
but the SE software doesn't. You do have to wait for a couple minutes for
the program to recognize the phone, though.

Christersson's Sendfile and Float's Mobile Agent both work. Float's Mobile
Agent does not require MPM, and you can specify which COM port to look for
the phone inside the program.

Sorry, I either wasn't waiting long enough for the software to connect
to the phone or there was another problem. I could have sworn that it
wasn't the former though. I got it working last night by doing all of
the same stuff I normally did and suddenly it popped up the naming
wizard. Makes me feel like I am an idiot or something.

Thanks for the information about Float's Mobile Agent. I've had it
installed for a while now (during all of this troubleshooting) but
never used it. This information will come in handy now that I am on
to my next step - figuring out how to make this phone do what there is
supposedly no support for. 1) I've got to change these horrible
ringtones 2) I need to get my Outlook contact phone numbers into my
phone. Hopefully either SendFile or Mobile Agent will help me do
that.

Usually the stumbling block is the 9600 COM port speed for certain
(but not all) SE phones. It's not mentioned anywhere in documentation
or support website.

And neither is the mandatory waiting period before the phone is
detected by the software.

I'm not sure why these things work like this, but I had imagined
something like this:

1. the device driver is installed for the USB cable, iR or bluetooth
port
2. the Phone Monitor software is installed, which constantly monitors
and detects any phones
3. the software is installed which uses the Phone Monitor as a gateway
to communicate with the phone

But I have found that it works like this:

1. -
2. the Phone Monitor is installed, which monitors absolutely nothing
3. the software is installed and run, which wakes up the Phone Monitor
after about 30 seconds, which detects and connects to the device, and
works to pass communications back and forth between the phone and the
software.

Now if I am right in all this so far, then what is the point of having
the Phone Monitor if it isn't monitoring anything?

I have started using FMA (Float's Mobile Agent) and I have found that
it is pretty good (although it doesn't support the T226 completely).
And it doesn't use the Phone Monitor at all, verifying to me that the
Phone Monitor is not necessary and pretty much useless. I found out
that you have to disable OBEX in FMA, because the T226 doesn't support
it. So far I have found that I can edit/create entries in the SIM
memory one at a time but not the phone memory. I can't do some of the
cool functions such as calling contacts from FMA, etc. It seems to
support sending file to the phone, but I am not sure about that step
right now. That's where I am at in the learning phase .
