Guys,
I have read countless threads about this but to be honest have seen no answer to my problem. I need to create a serial port connection with my 7610 via bluetooth. I used to do it all the time with my 3650 so I can't understand why a more advanced phone is kicking up such a fuss about it...
I have Widcomm drivers v1.4.2 and Nokia PC Suite v6.2 installed currently. I used to be able to create a connection with my 3650 simply by first activating bluetooth on the phone, then right clicking the bluetooth icon in the system tray, going to Quick Connect > Bluetooth Serial Port > My Device. Whenever I try that now, i simply get "Service Bluetooth Serial port is not found on device <devicename>"
So, what am I doing wrong? Hopefully theres some workaround for this because it is quite important that I get it working. Any help anyone can offer is very much appreciated.
Thanks
I thought this was a fairly common problem... Does noone have any ideas?
well to answer one of your questions no the 7610 does indeed not support serial port, as i also found after my purchase ,my old phone 6230 supported it(weird) anyway to the sollution i found.I bought a USB Bluetooth Adapter by D-Link and this device does support all blue tooth funtions since installing this software i've been laughing. However you said you have v6 nokia suite by this you must also have the link cable i'm guessing, if so all you do is download to pc - to file of choice - open nokia suite - go to transfer files - edit pics etc - open the connection in select phone choose link cable - and send the files to your phone .Yes it's a bit of mucking about but that's all i know , there could be another simpler solution perhaps.Sorry for the long replie hope it helps little for you. 😊
I've just brought myself a nokia 7610 and am gutted to find out i cant surf the net on it via bluetooth. I've installed widdcomm and nokiasuite and like the other guy, the port option informs me that the phone Service Bluetooth Serial port is not found on device <devicename>.
if its possible on one of the other fone's, does anyone think that the porting code could be added to the OS to enable a Bt port connection instead of the GPRS or datacall options.
Or is there an install available that could make a new connection possible??
Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. my head is starting to hurt with this one and coding is the last thing i want to start doing.
Nice one chaps,
First I confirm everything you said are right at my side.

I have been suffered this months before, then the flu goes to you. lol
Now I am coding in java on 7610. Maybe it was a little difficult to get started, now I feel great in coding with serial port profile, it's a very useful profile and you can transmit whatever you want. Here is the key thing:
UUID[] serviceUUIDs = new UUID[]{ new UUID( 0x1101 ) };
url ="btspp://localhost:"+ serviceUUIDs[0]+ ";authenticate=false;authorize=false;encrypt=false;name=btspp";
connectionNotifier =(StreamConnectionNotifier) Connector.open(url);
StreamConnection connection =(StreamConnection)connectionNotifier.acceptAndOpen();
//do whatever you want

I wonder why serial port is so important for you. I don't know how to use it except doing my project with it. If it's really important, isn't it possible for us to develop ourselves?
What can be done with that code? Can you unlock the seriel port?
I need to connect in with my iPaq 2210 to my 7610 to download e-mails, but it wont even make a proper BT connection... 😞
So what's the score with late-model Series 60 devices and Bluetooth serial profile?
I've got a 6630, which also doesn't support it out of the box.
I've scoured the net, and apparently the operating system DOES support it, but it's not included as standard. Looking on Forum Nokia developer section, there's loads of boffins banging on about special C++ BTPointToPoint APIs etc which can enable a serial port profile on the phone, but I couldn't find any ready made software to do this.
aluckybird, how's the coding coming along?
badboythemer, so with your D-Link adapter you have full access to the serial port profile on your 7610? If so, I'd love to know the exact model name of the adapter, and also which bluetooth stack software it comes with (WIDCOMM, etc).
Many thanks in advance
All right people, a search would've turned up this thread: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum//forum/thread/29000/. Which I posted about back in October. I assumed since I was away for a while, someone would've created a work around by now. Sadly it appears not 😞.
Aluckybird, let me ask you a question as I haven't had a chance to look into this yet. The problem, as I see it, isn't that S60 apps can't open a BT serial port. Its that it requires a desktop application to recieve that request, is that correct? Or is there a way to open the connection to ,say, the standard widcomm stack?
Think I might have cracked this. I can't quite remember the exact process I went through to get it working but here's roughly what I did.
Download and install the latest version of PC Suite from the Nokia website (I think its v6.41.6). I don't think the latest version of the WIDCOMM drivers are required - I have v1.42.10 installed currently. Once you've installed PC Suite, activate bluetooth on your mobile. Right click the PC Suite icon in the system tray and select Nokia Connection Manager. Double click the "Bluetooth (WIDCOMM)" connection option and the connection wizard should appear. Follow the on-screen setup guide and at some point during the setup your mobile should ask you whether you want to accept an incoming connection, so select Yes. You should now have an active serial connection with your mobile (you'll be able to tell by whether the bluetooth icon in your system tray turns green or not).
From this point I've been able to browse my phone's contents wirelessly, download/upload data and install applications flawlessly.
