support extended addresses on (newer?) Motorola Phones

[felixmoeller]

I have a Razr V3i which kind of works with opensync. But the addresses (i.e. street and co) get lost during sync.

The extended attributes are retrieved with the AT*MPBRE AT-command

at+mode=2
OK
AT+CPBS="AD"
OK
at+mpbre=106
+MPBRE:
106,1,"017000000",129,"FirstnameLastname",3,0,255,0,1,1,255,0,9,"",0,0,"","","","","","","Nickname","09-25-1999","","notes"

Looking at the details of each record I found out the following meanings of the elements:

field - meaning:
1 - entry-id in the telephone
2 - is the entry count within one contact. 1-7 are telephone-numbers.
8+9 are e-mail addresses. 10+11 are internet-addresses, 12+13 are
personal-addresses (e.g. street and city)
3 - telephone number / email / www-address/ address
4 - 129, 145 and 128 as with at+mpbr
5 - the full name in concatenated form.
6 - type of number: 0->Office, 1->Private, 3->Mobile, 4->Fax, 5-> Pager,
11->Misc, 12->email, 18->www-address, 15->Home-address,
16->Work-address, 17->other-address
7 - "0"
8 - "255"
9 - "0"
10 - the first number is "1" all others are "0" (maybe preferred number?)
11 - category. 1->miscalanious, 2->friends, 3->family, 4->business,
12 - "255"
13 - "0"
14 - Numbers of letters in the first name to divide the string in field 5
15 - filepath to contact photo. seem to be at "/e/mobile/picture/"
16 - "0"
17 - "0"
18 - ""
19 - ""
20 - ""
21 - ""
22 - ""
23 - ""
24 - nickname
25 - the birthday
26 - file path to ring tone. seem to be saved at "/a/mobile/audio/"
27 - notes for an addressbook entry.

One complete phone entry looks like the following:

at+mpbre=106

Because of my need to backup the phone I hacked up the following patch which might be of interest for somebody. Therefore I add it here:

which makes mototool --restore, --delete, --backup work but breaks OpenSync?. ;)

Somehow I wrote in the description of this bug that I have a V3i but it is a RAZRV3xv. To really identify this phone here is the output of lsusb -v.

To keep the tickets clean update to current. Sorry for the second mail. ;)
