{{Recommended phone usage}}

=DBUS=

Here's a number of dbus examples that can be run as simple shell scripts. When running them they should be run with `run-standalone.sh` in front of them to set up the environment correctly. Otherwise they may barf when run from cron, startup, install scripts, etc. They run fine when run as user "user" without `run-standalone.sh`. Example:
run-standalone.sh dbus-send /foo bar 'boo'

Also note that "--print-reply" in dbus-send commands is usually not needed. It is, however, needed in "lock screen" command (add more).

===dbus-send-call===
dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --type=method_call --print-reply \
/com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$1" uint32:0

With this fantastic command you can make a fone call from the command line. Change $1 to whatever number you want, or if you put this in a shell script, run it and use the number you want to call as the option, ala:
dbus-send-call 15555551234

====From Python :====

import dbus
def place_call(number):
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
csd_call = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('com.nokia.csd',
'/com/nokia/csd/call'),
'com.nokia.csd.Call')
csd_call.CreateWith(str(number), dbus.UInt32(0))

===dbus-send-call-start-ui===
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:'rtcom-call-ui'

===dbus-release-call===

dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --print-reply \
/com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.Release

This will release/end/hangup/reject the current call (or possibly all calls if more then one call is active - needs testing to verify behavior when more then 1 call active) or do nothing if no calls are active.

===dbus-send-activate-led===
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_activate string:PatternCommunicationIM

===dbus-send-deactivate-led===
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_deactivate string:PatternCommunicationIM

===dbus-send-email-new===
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.modest /com/nokia/modest com.nokia.modest.MailTo string:mailto:

===dbus-send-email-tx-rx===
Doesn't work
dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_email /com/nokia/osso_email com.nokia.osso_email.send_and_receive

===dbus-send-get-imei===
dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SIM /com/nokia/phone/SIM/security Phone.Sim.Security.get_imei

===dbus-send-google===
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.osso_browser" --print-reply /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"google.com"

===dbus-send-hello-world===
dbus-send --print-reply \
--type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications \
/org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteDialog \
string:'Hello, world!' uint32:0 string:'NAO OK!'

===dbus-send-im-here===
dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.MissionControl /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/MissionControl org.freedesktop.Telepathy.MissionControl.SetPresence uint32:2 string:"I'm here"

===dbus-send-lock===
dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.system_ui /com/nokia/system_ui/request com.nokia.system_ui.request.devlock_open string:'com.nokia.mce' string:'/com/nokia/mce/request' string:'com.nokia.mce.request' string:'devlock_callback' uint32:'3'

===dbus-send-media-play===
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"file:///$1"

===dbus-send-music-pause===
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.osso_media_server /com/nokia/osso_media_server com.nokia.osso_media_server.music.pause

N900
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.pause

===dbus-send-notification===
Usage:
dbus-send-notification "foo bar boo bah bang"

dbus-send --print-reply \
--type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications \
/org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteDialog \
string:"$1" uint32:0 string:'NAO OK!'

====From Python :====

import dbus
def show_notification_dialog(message, mode="single"):
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
iface = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Notifications',
'/org/freedesktop/Notifications'),
'org.freedesktop.Notifications')
if mode == "single":
iface.SystemNoteInfoprint(message)
elif mode == "multiline":
iface.SystemNoteDialog(str(message), dbus.UInt32(0), 'Ok')

This function allows you to show notification either with multiline (on maemo pre-5 it will show a dialog with an "Ok" button) or single line (tiny notifications hiding automatically).

===dbus-send-pause-panucci===
dbus-send --type="method_call" --dest=org.panucci.panucciInterface /panucciInterface org.panucci.panucciInterface.playPause

===dbus-send-reboot===
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.mce" --print-reply "/com/nokia/mce/request" com.nokia.mce.request.req_reboot

===dbus-send-regist-status===
dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest='com.nokia.phone.net' /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.get_registration_status

===dbus-send-show_conn===
dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.icd_ui /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.show_conn_dlg boolean:false

If "boolean:true" at the end, one-line notification saying "No saved connections available" appears. Maybe affects more than that?

===dbus-send-shutdown===
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.mce" --print-reply "/com/nokia/mce/request" com.nokia.mce.request.req_shutdown

===dbus-send-speaker-off===
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller /com/nokia/osso_hp_ls_controller com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller.loudspeaker.force_ loudspeaker_off

===dbus-send-speaker-on===
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller /com/nokia/osso_hp_ls_controller com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller.loudspeaker.force_ loudspeaker_on

===dbus-send-task-switcher===
dbus-send --type=signal --session /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view

===Unlock screen and keys===
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"unlocked"

===Unlock secured phone===
dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.system_ui /com/nokia/system_ui/request com.nokia.system_ui.request.devlock_close string:'com.nokia.mce' string:'/com/nokia/mce/request' string:'com.nokia.mce.request' string:'devlock_callback' uint32:'0'

===Connect to specific saved connection===
dbus-send --type=method_call --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:IAP_ID uint32:0

IAP_ID is internet access point identifier and can be obtained with the following command :

gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP

Find lines which matches /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<IAP_ID>

If <IAP_ID> is a string (for GPRS connections as example, use double quotes in the command and replace @32@ by a space)

Keep in mind that phone has to be disconnected in order to connect via this call.

===dbus-send-disconnect-net===
dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.disconnect boolean:true

===Set phone radio mode===

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.set_selected_radio_access_technology byte:0

byte: 0=Dual, 1=2G, 2=3G
