Bluetooth PC connection problem

1 replies · 2,873 views · Started 26 May 2005

Hello, I'm new to the 910 and to Bluetooth. I set up the Bluetooth link and all went very easily - within minutes I was synching over Bluetooth link.

I then put the phone back in its hot-synch cradle. Presumably the cable link took over, and turned off the Bluetooth link. Now I cannot get the Synch software to work over Bluetooth.

I know that the phone is connected to the PC over the Bluetooth link - I can send files both ways, and the indicators on both PC and phone say the Bluetooth link is good. But the Synch software will not show a connection.

I have tried right-clicking the broken arrows icon in the sys tray, and selecting "connect to Buetooth phone", but this does not work. I have both incoming and outgoing ports set up on the PC, and have tried initiatiing the Bluetooth connection fro the phone.

I've read the manual and googled as much as I can but can't find the solution. Any help gratefully appreciated

I think you need to open your bluetooth setting in your PC. Choose your phone, and manually redo the serial port connection. Please do not assume that the computer or the pc Suite is smart. they're not that smart. :frown:
