Infrared not working


Recommended Posts

Posted

(from france / french SPV):

My IRDA port only works to send data. Does not work in reception, neither for Pocket PC connection for web surf. Is there someone here encountering the same trouble? Can I expect for a software upgrade which will fix the bug, or do I have to ask Orange support for a quick (?) device replacement?

Any news? I have exactly the same problem. Can' receive from a 6210, a T68, or an 8310. Is it a hardware fault?

Anyone at least tried to ask orange about it?

Defo didnt work from my 8210 when I had ALL my contacts to transfer over. took me ages to perform manually!

Is this confirmed as a bug? 

i recon it is, i've seen this in quite a few different topics on the forum and many have sounded similar, ie: 1 devices says something has been sent but the other device does nothing.

i tried it between mine and a friends spv the 1 that was sending seemed to have worked but the reciever never recieved. didnt matter which phone sent or recieved.

I sent a contact card and, separately, just a number to a T68 over the weekend. It said to press beam when the device was found, then found it and sent it immediately so I just had to wave it at the T68.

Couldn't receive anything whatsoever tho, no matter how much we tried, and YES I had the Infrared receive program running.

So yes for sending to T68, no joy receiving.

Hm, I tried it myself. No problem sending to my old 6210 (it showed 6210 as found on my spv, and I could send a contct ok)

Unfortunately the IR recieve doesn't seem to be working.

I've managed to receive contacts and images from t68i with no problems. I've also received a small image from a Compaq laptop.

Edit: I've also received an MMS song file (.imy) from a t68i through infrared.

I've managed to beam vCards to my laptop, printer and a 6310, and my SPV has mangaed to recieve files from my laptop without any problems. It seems to be luck if you get working IR or not!

Oooh, I thought I'd been doing something wrong! I can't get my SPV to receive anything via IrDA from my old 8210 either.

I wonder if that'll be fixed in the update?! :roll:

I don't think its the IRDA port thats faulty, just the IR recieve software.

I can happily syncronise with the my laptop over IR and copy files back and fourth, however i can't receive any data with the IR Receive application (as tested with an O T68i today)
