Autoconnect to PC via Bluetooth

0 replies · 1,420 views · Started 07 July 2003

Hello folks, its been a long time since I posted in this forum, having changed to a P800 a while ago..

I've been working on some software to automagically connect my P800 to my computer whenever it is in range. Anyway, I've got it working and I'm pretty sure that it should work with the 7650 too. (I dont have a propert 7650 setup to test it with). So, If anyone is interested in trying to establish a bluetooth connection automatically whenever your phone is in range, could you take a look at this thread in the P800 forum:

and give it a go.
The requirements are:
* A Bluetooth Dongle running the Widcomm stack (with the widcomms stack comes a piece of software called BTServer Spy Lite - you'll need that too. Have a search on your HDD for it - it is usally there, but not registered with the start menu).
* You must already be able to sucessfully start a bluetooth serial port connection to your phone from your PC. This is not a solution for you, if you can't do that already.

Initially, some people had problems running the program, so I created an instalable package. Its much larger to download, so try the small program first, and if that crashes when you start it up, download the setup.exe version.

Good luck. Here's hoping for some positive feedback.
