Comment 8 for bug 67704

There's actually lots of bugs represented here. The primary issue is that gnome-phone-manager has a truly poor UI when gnokii doesn't support the hardware, in that everything apparently works, but it always fails to connect (which is sometimes a regression). As this is only exposed when gnokii doesn't support hardware, this bug report tends to collect reports for each type of phone that gnokii doesn't support.

For those encountering this issue, the workaround is to get gnokii support for your phone, one way to help with that is to test your phone with gnokii directly, and report a bug against gnokii with your phone details if it doesn't work.

If anyone can reproduce this with a phone that gnokii does support, or can determine an appropriate hook in gnome-phone-manager to detect that the phone is present, but not supported, please comment in detail here to help move towards a final solution.
