Connecting through bluetooth

6 replies · 6,189 views · Started 09 December 2004

I would like to sort out a few questions with the 6630 i bought a couple of days ago.

1. What is the best way to create a bluetooth connection. I have a latitude d505 with inbuilt bluetooth and Nokia PC Suite 6.4.8. Is it through the Nokia Connection Manager by going on bluetooth WIDCOMM, pressing configure, pressing next, and selecting the Nokia 6630?

2. What about Sync. When you press on connect on 6630, you get 3 icons, Bluetooth, Conn mgr., and Sync. When you press on sync there is an icon, with PC Suite, when you open that there are 4 choices - synchronise, new sync profile, edit sync profile or log. pressing on synchronise will connect to laptop, and then i get message - Sync: System Error...any idea on this?

3. If when doing the above i select edit sync profile i have sync profile name which is PC Suite, Data Bearer as bluetooth and Host address as PC Suite. When you press right button you have Contacts Yes/No, Calender Yes/No, Notes Yes/No. Should you adjust these exactly as they are in Nokia PC Sync?. Now when one presses on Contacts and selects YES, another window opens with Remote database, and Synchronistation Type. What do i have to put in Remote database as it requests something to be put in.

4. When i select bluetooth connection as ON on 6630, it requests PIN, i put in PIN and laptop requests PIN, then on laptop there is written 'Waiting for call'. It seems that the bluetooth connection sees the 6630 as a headset.

5. Unfortunatley i cannot 6630 to sync with Outlook, both through bluetooth and through USB cable.

thx in advance.

Not sure about the other questions but I have sync using the new Nokia PC suite via the usb lead to the nokia 6630. I sync my 6600 via bluetooth using the old PC suite and sync with outlook. then uninstalled that PC suite, installed the new one and then Sync outlook with the 6630 via USB lead no probs.

One thing to point out is that the PC suite which comes with the 6630 is the same as the 6230 which has been out a while. I've got a friend who has that and ask me to connect his 6230 to the pc iva bluetooth.

The connection from phone to PC via bluetooth is fine its that shit PC nokia suite which doesn't like the blue connection. Tried everything to get the PC suite to see the connection in the end I gave up!!

I suggest you keep using th usb lead to sync with.

As for your lappy do a bluetooth connection and them seach for the devices.. when the phone asks for a pin type in anything i.e 0000 and then on eth lappy do the same and thats it. DOne this with my 6600 and therefore presume its the same way with the 6630. Will try with my tosh E750 PDA tonight and see.

i have connected usb cable, went on nokia pc sync, pressed synchronise now but this is the result..

Warnings

The following warnings were produced during the synchronisation:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SyncML Client has not responded.

even when using nokia apllication installer .. it says available space on phone unknown... when using nokia content copier, it says connected phone nokia 6630, connection type: usb cable, but when you press next .. initialising connection please ... and then it says the connection to the phone was lost ...

i am lost too !!!

I don't know about connecting via blue tooth. Does anyone else have problems with audio manager in pc suite with the 6630? It will NOT let me in and after installing and reinstalling several times, I now find that I can't get into the setting sections of the sync menu, or actually synchronise a all. USB cable is working as can transfer music, photos etc both ways.
This is driving me mad!!!
My PC has XP, with service pack 2, and I have tried reinstalling without firewalls and anti virus progs.

Please help!!!!!

There is a new version of PC Suite out that is supposed to fix problems for bluetooth connections.... maybe people who are having problems can give it a try....

I just set up a Bluetooth link between my 6630 and my Win XP and Mac OSX computers.

First of all, let me say that setting it up on the Mac was much, much easier. I plugged the BT adapter in, paired the devices and I was finished.

The Windows procedure was horribly complicated but I managed to get it to work.

In answer to your questions,

1) Yes, I selected the WIDCOMM connection (not the Microsoft BT)

2) Sync was configured automatically for me so I never touched any of the settings in the Connectivity area, except once to make my BT connection a trusted connection to avoid going through the password procedure each time. You can do this by clicking on the BT icon, right clicking to "paired devices" and selecting your notebook and selecting "set as authorised"

3) In remote access, that field has "Contacts" written in it on mine, but again, it was all automatic. I think I used Nokia Sync Manager on the PC to set up the connection.

4) When you installed the BT driver for your BT adapter, did you go through the whole procedure. For mine (this was the horribly complicated bit in Windows) I not only had to install drivers for the card but also go through and enable all the BT profiles that I wanted to use. One was headset and another was something like business card exchange or contacts exchange. I guess you need to make sure that is all installed before you try to do a contacts exchange using the Nokia software. This was all part of the adapter installation process, nothing to do with Nokia although I think there was a similar setting in the Nokia software.

It might be best to uninstall the Nokia software and the BT software and drivers and start from the beginning again, making sure to do everything in order and follow the instructions closely.

Hope it helps.
