Faulty reporting of free space with Sony Ericsson z710

Could you provide the following as attachments?

    obexftp --bluetooth $BDADDR --capability
    obexftp --bluetooth $BDADDR --list
    obexftp --bluetooth $BDADDR --list "Memory Stick"
    obexftp --bluetooth $BDADDR --chdir "Memory Stick" --list

Each should result in an XML file being printed. The output of --capability is the one that should include the free space value. The last two should give the same result, but may differ if the phone has a few bugs.

I have run the commands and attached the output. I also ran the output for "Telefonminne" which is swedish for "Phone memory".

Thank you for that info.

From the capability list returned, we have:
    <Memory>
      <MemType>DEV</MemType>
      <Location>/Telefonminne</Location>
    </Memory>
    <Memory>
      <MemType>Memory Stick</MemType>
      <Location>/Memory Stick</Location>
    </Memory>

Neither of which have a <Free> element, which would be used to determine the free space. The fact that you are seeing zero free space probably means that this error condition is not being handled properly (i.e. it should be handled as "I don't know how much free space there is" rather than "there is 0 free space").

Matthias: in the previous bug, you mentioned that your previous phone (a Sony Ericsson K610) worked correctly with the existing code.

Do you still have access to this phone? If so, would you mind running a similar set of obexftp commands on it and attaching the output? I want to collect the output of a variety of phones as part of a test suite so that I can make sure that the folder-listing and capability parsing code doesn't regress.

I've committed a fix for this in r46. The capability parser now notes if valid free and used space values appeared for a memory type, and the VFS method will not report a free space value if none exist for the selected memory type.

This should fix the file copying problem on your Z710. I am still interested in data from your older phone for the test suite, if you can provide it.

I have this same problem, even after checking out the latest version (though I'm not sure I have the latest stuff, I'm new to bzr).

I attach the output of the commands you asked for with the other guy.

My phone is a SonyEricsson Z530i btw.

I have the same problem with SE K800i, and the patch did not help unfortunately.

Also, but maybe this should go in another bugreport, when I try to do forbidden things (like removing a "system" folder), the connection is lost and I cannot connect to my phone again before I restart the phone (even restarting the bluetooth functionality on my phone doesn't work). This might be some problem with my phone but it could be worked-around if obexftp somehow tells the PC what actions are forbidden.

I'm sorry, the patch *did* help (logout/login was needed, lsof tricked me into believing that libobex.so was not in use).
Thank you!

I added gnome-vfs-obexftp to PLD LInux Distribution.

Karel: thanks for the folder listing data. I'll add it to the test suite. As for the problem with attempts to remove system folders, could you report a new bug? If it is a bug in the phone though, I can't guarantee that it'll be fixable though.

Marcin: It is good to hear that the patch fixes the problem for you. Would you be able to attach capability and folder listing data to this bug so I can add it to the test suite?

Here it is.

I was totally wrong before; first I was still using the 0.3 release version (installed the trunk version with the wrong prefix), and after noticing this and fixing it I didn't completely restart. After a reboot (loggin out/on didn't seem to do the trick (not cleaning /var/lib/bluetooth ?)) it works. It doesn't report the memory available but it lets me copy files.
When I try to copy a file that is too big, it reports an error after sending the data that fits and asks me to cancel or retry. Seems OK to me (don't think you can do any better with this data you get :)).
I'll create another bug for the "forbidden actions" problem and try to investigate it a bit.
In short: it works OK for z530i (seems to use the same protocol - not telling us how much free memory) as the other phones here.

This bug was fixed in the 0.4 release.

Gutsy now provides version 0.4-1, so this bug should be fixed.

In case it helps, I'm adding the report from a w880i

I'm going to try version 0.4-1, see if it helps. the default version in feisty doesn't work with my w880i

Well, the gutsy release doesn't work well in feisty (too many pkg to upgrade and dependency problems)...

So I guess I have to wait for gutsy release

I am running ubuntu 8.04 and obexftp straight from repository. I think it is 0.4-1 and still my SonyEricsson W350 phone is unable to recieve data from computer.

I can download stuff from phone but every time i try to put something into phone, it says no space on device.

More accurately: There is not enough space on the destination. Try to remove files to make space.
There is 0 bytes available, but 71.8 KB is required.

Some data that you have asked from others is included in attachment, feel free to ask more details if necessary.
