The longest week of my life happened last week. It was Saturday and Sunday when we took our licensure examination for ECE at South Western University in Cebu. All of the things I studied in the past 5 years of my life were compressed into two days of four-subject examination. I can say that the exam is very unfair. I know I know a lot things but the examination does not cover it all. (darn those examiners)

Waiting for the result of the exam is even worse than taking the exam itself. As we near the release date, most of us are becoming anxious. Tension is starting to build up. Most of us are nervous. Everytime a cellphone rings, our hearts start to panic. The days after the board exam were hell for us.

While I was waiting in SM for my Smart Gold Lite application to be approved last week, I happened to pass by a familiar booth inside the mall. I’ve seen them a couple of times in Ayala, few months ago, but I never paid much attention. But I know them. I have read about them on the papers they were giving to the passers by.

Here’s a set of priceless photos (inspired by Himantayon). I went into this cellphone accessory shop in town to get some protective casing for my Nokia N82. While browsing their huge collection of cellphone accessories, I came across this row of crystal casings for Nokia cellphones. Please see photos below:
Da Vinci’s Pizza in Cebu
October 6, 2008
After the two consecutive days of taking the review center’s diagnostic examination, my clique decided to treat ourselves with a scrumptious meal. It was decided that we’ll have dinner at Sbarro in Ayala Center Cebu. But Starth, a non-pork eater classmate, was hesitant since most of the meat dishes in Sbarro contains pork. She recommended Da Vinci’s Pizza in Osmeña Boulevard (Jones Ave.) since she had tried dining in the resto before. Then it was decided where we’ll have our dinner.

The place is not strange to us anymore since we get to pass Jones every time we go to our review Center. The place is not far from the famous landmark, the Fuente Osmeña Circle. It is situated at the right side of the Crown Regency Tower, just beside Jollibee.

Learning the AT Commands

AT Commands are commands used by devices equipped with modems. The AT prefix (also known as the Attention Code), signals the modem that one or more commands are to follow. These commands are industry standard language used to communicate with the modem. A modem is always either in the command mode, or the on-line mode. The modem starts up in command mode when it is first switched on. Commands are only accepted by the modem when it is in command mode. Commands input when the modem is on-line, are treated as data, not as commands. Commands may be entered from the terminal mode of most communications software packages.

Settings made via AT commands are automatically reused by the modem until another command is received to change them, or the modem is turned off.

For the project’s case, I am using a Sony Ericsson K608i which is equiped with a built-in modem which can be accessed via Bluetooth, Infrared, USB Cable or RS232 Connection. But since of availability concerns, I would be using a Bluetooth device for accessing the modem.

AT Commands for Sony Ericsson can access almost all phone services available for your mobile phone. From sending and receiving text messages to creating custom menus. All of these commands are published by Sony Ericsson in their Developer’s Guidelines for AT Command. Just to introduce some basics on how these work, a HyperTerminal in Microsoft Windows can be used to explore the built-in phone modem.
The Set-Up

Most Bluetooth devices have a capacity to create a Serial Communication Port (COM) which can be used by another Bluetooth Device to connect to the computer. By creating a COM for the mobile phone, we can easily access the modem through the program called HyperTerminal. For this case, I created reserved COM5 for my mobile phone.

Running the HyperTerminal

HyperTerminal can be accessed from Windows XP by clicking Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications >HyperTerminal
A detailed instruction on running the HyperTerminal can be found here.

Testing AT Commands

Once the device is connected through COM5, we can now access the phone’s mode. The following command should be used in testing the working condition of the phone’s modem.

AT <enter>
OK (you should get this reply to see if the modem supports the AT Commands)
AT*<enter>
(a list of all available AT commands will appear after the return key is hit)

For a complete list of the AT Commands available for Sony Ericsson Phones, please check the Developer’s Guidelines for AT Command.
