Getting the IMEI number: a UIQ 3 code example

The IMEI number is used in many mobile applications since the unique number makes it possible to lock software to a particular phone. This effectively prevents unauthorized copying of an application. The application sis file can be copied, but the application can not be used on phones for which there dose not exist a valid licence, which must be bought from the application manufacturer.

UIQ 3 screen capture utility: a useful tool for developers

The following code example implements a tool for taking screenshots of running applications on Sony Ericsson's UIQ 3 phones.

Splitting long running UIQ 3 tasks to keep UI apps responsive

By assigning a very low priority to an active object it is possible to make an active object run only when nothing of higher priority needs to run. This example application searches for prime numbers and can also simulate a more important task and stop he prime finder active object when RunL completes due to the lower priority.


Using Bluetooth with Symbian UIQ 3 SDK

Download the BT USB driver from Nokia
Install it as explained in the instructions and verify the COM port at which the BT dongle is available (using the sbt.exe tool from BT driver ZIP package)
Use the SDKConfig tool to set the UIQ 3 emulator BT port to the COM port found at the previous step.
Since the UIQ SDK is has a poor UI for more subtle Bluetooth configuration you need to find bt.bt.esk, usually in \UIQ3SDK\epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\Z\private\101f7989\ESock\bt.bt.esk

You should then mofify the [hci] section in the following manner:

[hci]
hcidllfilename= hci_h4.dll // Here you need to use either hci_h4.dll or hci_usb.dll
port= 0 // COM1 = 0, COM2 = 1, .... etc. If using hci_usb.dll this number should not matter

Restart the EPOC emulator. You might need to go to the phone application and from the setting to choose "Phone On". After that the BT icon should appear in the emulator status bar.
