Hello everyone,

I hope this is the right forum for my question,

I'm trying to play some MGS games (eg, Karting,Pool 2, Cobra..etc) with a friend on bluetooth, but it is not working..

When I host a game, it gives this message "Waiting for clients" , this is ok.
But when I (or my friend) tries to join a game, it opens the Available Devices window and shows "Searching" , however, it can't find anything, and sometimes it doesn't show the "Available Devices" window, it just shows an empty list..

With noticing that:
1- We both are sure that Bluetooth is On
2- We've bonded (paired) our devices correctly, in fact, we used BT in many other apps
3- We tried to switch the hoster and joiner, but doesn't work
4- We are sure that the devices are near enough to make BT connection..
5- We both have exactly the same device (P900), MGS version and game version

Regards,

Ok, please don't shoot me down in flames - I've got no idea what MGS stands for (maybe multimedia gaming services?), but I'll try to help.

I think the troubleshooting would be the same as if you're buying a game for your pc:

1. First check that you've got the latest firmware on your phone, maybe it doesn't work with earlier versions.
2. Check the game creators' web site for any known problems, etc.
3. Phone or email them.

*From what I've read, it sounds like you've done everything right, especially the fact that you're able to play other bluetooth games. I think the problem is game specific, but I might be wrong....
