Uploading pictures from my Razr V3.

[Carsto]

I use my cell phone to take pictures on sites where I work. I want to attach these to reports written in Thunderbird. How do I access the cell to upload these to my Aspire?

Would it be similar to the utilities that can handle phone numbers from the phone book? Is there any thing else? Searching the forums only deliver very old threads and not really related.

How do I go about developing software for this?

Found an interesting thing, could help somebody.

I run FC11 and use KPPP Internet Dial-up Tool. Tried everything, yet kept on getting "Modem busy" or "Unable to connect modem". Tried all the connection types - USB, ACM, tty, whatever. Right now I do not even know where its is set.

However, just out of curiosity I clicked on the connection icon in the Task Tray. Lo and behold! What do I see? "Auto Mobile Broadband (GSM) connection". Click.

"Connection Established"
"You are now connected to Auto Mobile Broadband (GSM) connection"

It therefore looks like a hardware connection. All the woes with drivers and such like seems unnecessary.

I assume the physical connection to the phone is USB? If so, the data should appear as a mountable USB drive. When you connect it to your computer, does there appear a new /dev/sd?? entry? If so, then try to mount that and see if you can read the file system.

Thanks rubberman, I actually did look for something like that before and could not see it. Checked again, but nothing.

Dolphin File Manager does not even show it in Places. KDiskFree same. Did cd /dev in Konsole and couldn't get anything. There are usb1 thru 5 in /dev, but vi usb1 gives "not a file". cd usb1 - "not a directory". Other files with similar names give the same. This happens both as root or user.

Not even the Device Notifier shows anything. Only thing there is my 4GiB SD card and this shows everywhere else.

The only /dev/sda1 is 193.7 MiB in size and 12.5% full (24.213 MiB), has initrd, vmlinuz etc in it, so it looks like the MBR. Mount point here is /boot.

Looked at the Broadband connection dialog on the desktop and it shows /dev/ttyACM0 connected. The KPPP Dial-up Tool showed /dev/ttyusb3 being set, changed that to /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 and reconnected - ACM0 still in use. No change in Dolphin.

Deleted the KPPP Account and Modem on the config dialog and connected. Linux netbook currently on LinuxForums, not logged in. BB connection dialog on the desktop still shows as it was. Dolphin still shows the same.
