Setting up Bluetooth…

[Guest radiator]

Could someone please explain how the hell I’m supposed to setup Bluetooth to allow comms between 2 phones?

My mate has a k700i, but for some reason, when he tried to search for nearby devices, nothing comes up. When I do it, it finds him and we can pair the devices no problem. I can then send him files, but he can’t send anything to me.

It’s not like this is the first time this has happened. I could never received files on my previous phone either (SP3i) – tried receiving files from Samsung, Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones but it never worked. I’m presuming that Bluetooth on WM devices is a tad different (and harder to setup) than ‘normal’ phones?

Is your device discoverable to other devices? Even if your BT is on, this box still needs to be ticked

Yup, box is on.

What's the deal with the COM port setup (outgoing/incoming)?

I've just paired my SE K750i and Vario and managed to send a picture from the K750i to the Vario.

Where are you failing with yours? You've made the initial connection? Added each other to your devices? Then what?

My mistake, it's actually a W800i.

I've managed to pair the devices (from his phone), then I get the 'Partnership Settings' on mine (it lists serial port, dialup networking & input device - only dialup networking is selected).

I then click finish and I can send files to his phone, but when he tries to send to mine it fails (with a 'Retry?' option).

Thing is, I can select the 'input device' option and use his phone to control mine...

:confuzzled:

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TRYING TO GET FILES OFF OF A D500 SAMSUNG THING IS DEVICES THAT DONT HAVE A SERIAL PORT I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH (LIKE MY OLD V3)

Thanks, that solved it!

But why? To me, 'beam' indicates InfraRed...what's it got to do with Bluetooth?

?

WM2005 sees irda and bluetooth as the same thes one device talking to another, at least thats the idea im sticking with

[Guest jdandcoke]

as for your com ports if you set your outgoing as you pc you can talk/hear someone through your comuuters speakers and mic
