Re: how do I download pictures from a dumb phone?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Inserting anything other than a USB cable into the phone seems to be a no-go.
There is one slightly wider and thinner recess,
but no metal is in it.
It looks like a slightly less dumb model would use
the same outer case and a somewhat different inner case.

From lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 04e8:6640 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Usb Modem Enumerator

[root@localhost ~]# file  /dev/bus/usb/002/007
/dev/bus/usb/002/007: character special

I found my Service Guide.  My phone is a Samsung Gusto 2.
A link near http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/gusto-2/#Camera,%20Photos%20&%20Videos
tells me that Samsung Gusto SCH-u360's,
among others,
do not support picture transfer.

Anyone know better?

Anyone know for sure whether bitpim would work if I could make it go?

I have a Samsung phone I bought at a Walmart.
According the the front, it worships Verizon.
Beyond that, I'm not at all sure what kind.

As I should have mentioned earlier:
If there is a way to install software on this phone,
I do not know it.

If I use a real USB connector to connect it to my PC,
CentOS sees it as a character special device.
What, if anything, I can do with that device, I do not know.
I've not found any settings related to USB.

In case it helps, from menu->settings->phone info:
S/W V. U365.GG01
H/W V. U365.04
