Question

Here is my code:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.comm.*;

public class SMS {


    public static void main(String[] args) {
            Enumeration lists=CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
            System.out.println(CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL);
            System.out.println(lists.hasMoreElements());
            while (lists.hasMoreElements()){
                CommPortIdentifier cn=(CommPortIdentifier)lists.nextElement();

                if ((CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL==cn.getPortType())){
                    System.out.println("Name is serail port "+cn.getName()+" Owned status "+cn.isCurrentlyOwned());

                    try{
                        SerialPort port1=(SerialPort)cn.open("ComControl",800000);
                        port1.setSerialPortParams(9600, SerialPort.DATABITS_8, SerialPort.STOPBITS_1, SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
                        System.out.println("Before get stream");
                        OutputStream out=port1.getOutputStream();
                        InputStream input=port1.getInputStream();
                        System.out.println("Before write");
                        out.write("AT".getBytes());
                        System.out.println("After write");
                        int sample=0;
                        //while((( sample=input.read())!=-1)){
                        System.out.println("Before read");
                            //System.out.println(input.read() + "Testing ");
                        //}
                            System.out.println("After read");
                        System.out.println("Receive timeout is "+port1.getReceiveTimeout());
                    }catch(Exception e){
                        System.err.println(e.getMessage());
                    }
                }

                else{
                    System.out.println("Name is parallel port "+cn.getName()+" Owned status "+cn.isCurrentlyOwned()+cn.getPortType()+"    ");
                }
            }
    }

}

This is the output:

1
true
Name is serail port COM1 Owned status false
Before get stream
Before write
After write
Before read
After read
Receive timeout is -1
Name is serail port COM2 Owned status false
Before get stream
Before write
After write
Before read
After read
Receive timeout is -1
Name is serail port COM3 Owned status false
Before get stream
Before write
After write
Before read
After read
Receive timeout is -1
Name is serail port COM4 Owned status false
Before get stream
Before write
After write
Before read
After read
Receive timeout is -1
Name is parallel port LPT1 Owned status false2    
Name is parallel port LPT2 Owned status false2    

My COM4 port is being used by my phone modem, but according the code its status is free.
Is there anything I’ve missed in the code and how can I sort these out?

Answer 1

Might be that whatever the software that is controlling your phone is in sleep mode, or something like that?
