No bluetooth security!!! Urgent

[Guest za3boto]

Is there a way to show the security tab under bluetooth settings on my omnia so that the phone asks for my permission before receiving any file? (a registry tweak, 3rd party software, etc...)

Please Help!!!

I searched this forum, the net, other forums but found no mention for this problem anywhere. Doesn't this problem bother anyone? or it makes no difference for you guys to have this feature like in HTC devices?

Whenever someone tries to pair to another BT device, they are asked to enter in a code. When they "ping" you, you have to put this number in to pair with them. If you get a request, just hit cancel and no harm is done...

Not always the case that's why leaving your bluetooth on is a bad idea security wise especially if you are stationary and in a busy public place.

you have a samsung i910, if you turn bluetooth on and visible on your phone. and then you try to send a file from a new unpaired device to your phone, does your phone asks you before receiving the file? cause mine don't!!!!

That's why you should keep the phone invisible and only use discovery mode for pairing. I doubt that you pair devices constantly so having the phone discoverable is a REALLY a bad idea.

If you send a file you don't have to have the phone discoverable but you'll have to switch to discoverable if someone sends you a file.

Here is the correct way to increase the blutooth secury in your Omnia phone following the steps below:

1 - Go to Start / Settings

2 - Go to the tab "Connections"

3 - Open the Bluetooth icon (touching in the icon)

4 - In the bluetooth window you will see a board with the phrase "Add new device..." and in the window botton you will find the bluetooth tabs: Devices, Mode, Com Ports, Smart Pairing, SIM Access, FTP (Be patiente I will explain each one tab).

5 - Devices - it's the tab that you arrive when you open the bluetooth icon and this tab it´s for you add bluetooth devices .

6 - Mode - This tab it´s to turning on your Omnia bluetooth and make your PPC (Pocket PC) visible.

7 - COM Ports - This tab it's to setting u new Outgoing port after you pairing your PPC with another bluetooth device .

8 - Smart Pairing - This tab it's where you can inplement the security on your Omnia . It's com with smart pairing been no necessary you put any passwords due the codes goes from 0000 until 8888 and this option already come flagged (Enable Smart Pairing). If you want that your Omnia ask a password when pairing with other device, it's necessary you unmark this option and flag the option "Add own PIN code and put your new PIN code .

9 - SIM Access - This tab it's to allow access to your SIM , if you don't want this just unmark this option.

10 - FTP - This tab it's for to enable write to shared folder and choice where your files will be saved in your Omnia . I recommend you keep the default folder "My storage" .

That's it .

I really wished if there was a way to show the security tab under bluetooth settings like in HTC phones, but I guess I'll have to get over it. Thanks a lot for your help.
