 Please be aware that the recommended way to use the phone functionality is Telepathy:


Contents

D-Bus

These D-Bus commands can be run from terminal or as shell scripts. Useful for scheduling events with fcron, executing from Desktop Command Execution Widget, startup events, install scripts, etc. They should be run as: 

run-standalone.sh SCRIPT.sh
run-standalone.sh dbus-send COMMAND

This is important to set up the environment correctly otherwise they may barf. If run as user "user" this is not needed.

Also note that most commands don't need "--print-reply" option. Those that don't need it should be tested without it and this page should be edited.

Make a phone call

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

With this fantastic command you can make a phone 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

Open Phone application

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"rtcom-call-ui"

End current phone 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.

Activate LEDs

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

Deactivate LEDs

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

New e-mail

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.modest /com/nokia/modest com.nokia.modest.MailTo string:"mailto:"

Send and receive e-mail

It works, but it takes looong time (up to minute and a half) via GPRS (2.5, 3 or 3.5). Network and/or speed is not the problem, it just takes long via GPRS. It is much faster via Wi-Fi. 

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.modest /com/nokia/modest com.nokia.modest.SendReceive

Get IMEI

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

Open link in browser

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

Set presence

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"

Lock (secure) the device

dbus-send --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'

Unlock the device

dbus-send --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'

Open file in media player

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

Pause what's currently playing

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

Older: 

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

Send notification (orange one line popup)

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"NOTIFICATION"

Send dialog notification (orange multi line popup requiring user interaction)

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteDialog string:"QUESTION?" uint32:0 string:"OK"

Not sure what string "OK" does, but it is needed and can be anything.

Pause (panucci)

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

Reboot

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

This is same as rebooting from power key menu (needs uncommenting in certain XML file to appear) and has been identified as insecure way to reboot the device (no file system synchronization, etc.). Better command is to simply enter "reboot" in terminal.

Get phone registration status

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

Connect (show change connection UI)

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --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?

Shutdown

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

See warning at reboot dbus call (needs testing).

Turn loudspeaker 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_off

Turn loudspeaker 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_on

Show dashboard

dbus-send /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view

Lock 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:"locked"

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"

Connect to specific saved connection

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --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>

For GPRS connections replace "@32@" with a space in IAP_ID string.

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

Disconnect internet

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

Set profiles

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_profile string:"general"

Change "general" to "silent" if needed.

Enable cellular radio

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.set_radio boolean:true

Disable cellular radio

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.set_radio boolean:false

D-Bus Scripts

You can also use dbus-scripts to execute any command when various actions are triggered on D-Bus.

GStreamer

Shoot photo after 10 seconds

The camera application must be off for it to work. And of course the camera shutter must be open... 

/bin/sleep 10 ; /usr/bin/gst-launch  v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video0  num-buffers=1 \!  video/x-raw-yuv,width=2592,height=1968  \!  ffmpegcolorspace \! jpegenc \! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/foto-da-minha-tartaruga-de-estimacao.jpg

Other way: 

/bin/sleep 10; /usr/bin/gst-launch v4l2camsrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! identity error-after=1 ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/blah.jpg

GConf

Reset GPRS data counter

gconftool-2 -u /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/GPRS/gprs_rx_bytes
gconftool-2 -u /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/GPRS/gprs_tx_bytes
gconftool-2 -s /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/GPRS/gprs_reset_time --type=string $(date +%s)

Python

Make a phone call

 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))

Send dialog notification (orange multi line popup requiring user interaction)

 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).
