Before the update i had the phone synced via bluetooth with my pc. I can't seem to do it anymore! To all those who have successfully done this, has it been made easier by the new port settings on the e200? how do you use them?

Appreciate a bit of help on this.

thanks

I wish I could help, but it took a lot of playing about last night! Best option is to changes the ports they use, and then change them back.

Got it working!

I didn't use any of the new port settings provided!

This is how i did it...

Sync with cradle first.

Put the bluetooth adapter into the same port(don't know if this made any difference but its how i did it!).

Set up a COM port on the pc's bluetooth software. i.e COM5. Don't make it secure but make it start automatically.

With the phone, partner with your pc. I only made Serial port service available from my pc and not all the other services like headset.

Then go to your phone where the pc's bluetooth software shows all paired devices.

Change its properties. tick all the boxes. This tells the computer that your device needs no verification.

Set the COM port in activesync to the bluetooth serial port.

Sync your phone by 'connect via bluetooth' on activesync on your phone.

Worked for me!

I'm really having problems with this - I've tried each way but can't get it to work any more.

I've tried uninstalling my Bluetooth software and ActiveSync and then reinstalling, which frees up all the COM ports again - and my E200 connects to my PC fine.

But I can't get ActiveSync to work between the two - any thoughts?

I am also having trouble. I have followed everyones advice, but whenever I select Connect via Bluetooth absolutly nothing happens. I have serial port enabled and activesync setup (exactly like it used to work before the update).

remove all partnerships on PC and Phone.

Then on phone go to Settings>Bluetooth>Set it to discoverable>Menu>New>Choose PC and bond

Then try syncing via bt again :D

Mine worked first time using Davidrm's method, but with bluetooth set to on.

(I always thought that discoverable mode was used when a device tries to see the phone, and on when the phone is searching for a device. Or is it posh names for the same thing?)

hmm, not sure, as long as you don't have discoverable on all the time as that really kills battery life :D

Tell me about it, being a BT newbie I thought I'd try some bluejacking in the local pub a while back.

Settings > BT > Discoverable

and then I waited for a phone to connect so I could jack it. :?

Oh dear, anyway, have since learned how to do it the proper way. ;)

My mate has a 6600 and doesn't know how to switch BT off, so we keep sending him requests for a round, tedious after a while yet still strangely amusing :wink:

I found it REALLY hard to get the BT working after the update. Im sorry I cant offer an explanation for how I did it, but I know it took about 2 hours.
