setting clock (--setdatetime) and seconds (nokia 6230i)

[Hanno Böck]

Hi,

I noted that when setting the mobile phone clock (on my nokia 6230i) with 
gnokii, the time is always truncated to hours:minutes. It just ignores the 
seconds setting.

Now, for use cases where seconds matter (in my case syncing photos from a 
camera with gps-data from my mobile phone) this is bad.

I'd like to know if this is a hardware limitation or a bug.
The function responsible seems to be NK6510_SetDateTime in nk6510.c. It sounds 
reasonable and also encodes the second-parameter.

If it's a hw-limitation, maybe some advanced feature like "setting time in the 
moment the system time has second zero" might be an option.


If you're curious, gammu has the same behaviour. I don't have any windows 
installation, so I can't test if any "official" nokia-tools are capable of 
setting the time with seconds. And for the record, if possible I'd also 
prefer to have even more accuracy than seconds, but that's just a far away 
wish :-)
