<> ## This hardware is so old, is it worth keeping this page? ||<>|| = Introduction = This guide will help you to synchronize your contacts and calendar in Evolution with a Sony-Ericsson mobile phone over a bluetooth connection. This document was written for Ubuntu 7.10 and a Sony-Ericsson W810i but should work for other versions and models as well. Multisync is a stand-alone application to be used outside Evolution. = Requirements = You need to have an established bluetooth connection between your mobile phone and your computer. Please see the help page for [[BluetoothSetup]] how to complete this. You should also have an existing working setup of Evolution before you start. = Installation = Enter the following command in a shell:{{{ sudo aptitude install multisync libmultisync-plugin-all bluez-utils }}} = Configuration = Start multisync from '''Applications -> Accessories -> Multisync''' or{{{ multisync & }}} *Create a new synchronization pair by pressing the '''New''' button. *Set first plugin to '''IrMC Mobile Device''' *Click '''Options''' button for "IrMC Mobile Device" and '''Search for units''' *Select your mobile phone that should have been detected and click '''ok''' *Set second plugin to '''Ximian Evolution 2''' *Click '''Options''' button for "Ximian Evolution 2" and select which calendar, address book and task to sync and click '''ok''' *Click '''ok''' = Troubleshooting = If the the synchronization fails test different options for "IrMC Mobile Device" *Check you have correct device address entered. *Compare device address outputed from the command "hcitool scan" *Have a look at the tab "Bug workarounds". *Try different preset settings from the drop-down list "set default options for" *The settings seems to need to be saved (click ok) before altering settings in adjacent tabs sometimes. = Tips = Play around with the settings to suit your needs, e.g. how often to sync etc. ---- CategoryBluetooth CategoryEmail
