My new Samsung Galaxy Splus (GT-I9001) isn't recognized by Calibre

Kovid,

My new Samsung Galaxy SPlus Android phone isn't recognized. Configuring the User-Defined USB device with the following info:

USB Vendor ID (in hex): 0x04e8
USB Product ID (in hex): 0x681d
USB Revision ID (in hex): 0x0400
Windows main memory vendor string: SAMSUNG
Windows main memory ID string: GT-I9001_CARD
Windows card A vendor string: SAMSUNG
Windows card A ID string: GT-I9001_CARD

...makes it work (when in 'USB Storage' mode). That the info for the main memory is identical to that for the SD card is a bit odd of course, but (at least on my machine) the internal memory gets presented to the OS first, so it works out in the end. Dumping epubs where Aldiko wants them (the 'eBooks' directory on the external SD/'Card A' lets it import them.

And there is hardly any need to thank me; I just pasted the output of 'Get information to setup the user defined device' in the appropriate places...

Which gives me an idea: would it be possible to cut out the middleman, as it were, and have that (or another) button try to autoconfigure the user-defined device? Guarded with the appropriate 'Here Be Dragons' of course.

It would have worked for me, anyways.

Yes.

I personally am not interested in auto-configure. It's too fragile and I prefer instead to add proper support for devices in calibre. That does not mean I will refuse a patch however...

Fair enough. I agree about the fragility; that's where the dragons come in

I'm not much of a programmer (major understatement), but perhaps I'll take a stab at it...

Thanks for a great program and great support!
