Keep on IrDA

[Angelo Chu]

Dear all,

 

How can I keep my Nokia 8210 IrDA up permanently?

 

I have researched my mobile phone's specification and decided to use IrDA to connect with my USB IrDA dongle because there is no cable existed or I can't even buy it in the market nowadays.Moreover,my mobile phone's IrDA will shutdown by itself if there are no data transfer within 2 minutes.As a result,I wrote a shell script to keep sending request for informaiton about my mobile phone:

 

#!/bin/sh

persist_connect=1

 

while [ persist_connect=1 ]

do

  gnokii --getnetworkinfo

  sleep 30

done

 

However,this script is effective only for a while (I think 10 minutes or so) and generate error like telephone interface init failed....What's the problem?Is that software problem or anything?I just can't figure out.

 

Any help would be appreciated. :-)
