bluetooth serial port !!!

2 replies · 5,454 views · Started 20 July 2005

Hi
I have a sendox, and never succeeded connecting it via bluetooth.

1) tested with desktop pc (with MSI bluettoth usb dongle) AND with dell notebook (integrated bluetooth)
2) all using windows xp sp2 (with all of the automatic updates)
3) installed latest versions of phone bios, sendo pc connect, bluetooth drivers
4) steps i've done:

a) installed all the stuff
b) seached and paired smartphone
c) authorised device (on the smartphone)
d) created bluetooth serial ports in "local services" and "client application"
e) tried connection with sendox serial port
f) get the following error:
"error creating bluetooth serial port connection with device sendo x"
AND the following message:
"the bluetooth serial port com0 is now configured to connect to the device sendox.."
(i've never cofigured or created the com0 port!!)
g) the connection is not established and i've NEVER, NEVER see one single time the mrouter icon near the clock (however it is on the installed applications list)

What the hell I can do to obtain this connection ?
(I've already changed the phone with another one brand-new).

Thanx
mik

First off, I presume you're wanting to sync your phone, or install software using pcConnect over a bluetooth connection?

I suspect the problem you're having is with mRouter. The version shipped with pcConnect doesn't seem to work properly with bluetooth. There is an updated version (version 3) available, which works much better. (when I find the link I'll post it, or search these forums for it)

Other than that, I haven't used bluetooth for syncing my phone, so may not be able to help much more. I know other people have got it to work though...
