How can I stop these ‘Accept connection from xxxxxx’ messages when trying to connect to my PC?

Q. Every time I connect my Series 60 smartphone to my PC, I get a flurry of ‘Accept connection from xxxxxx’ messages, which have to be acknowledged by a keypress on the phone. Is there any way to tell it ‘Yes, stop asking me’?

A. Yes, you just need to 'authorise' the other device (your PC). On a Series 60 smartphone, for example, just look in ‘Tools | Bluetooth’ and then on your ‘Paired devices’ tab. Highlight your PC device name and use the menu option ‘Set as authorised’. On a UIQ-based smartphone, you'll find similar Bluetooth options under 'Control panel | Connections'.

Et voila, no more messages!
