Bluetooth problem with P900

[flinx]

I have a problem with the bluetooth on my P900

I can activate bluetooth no problem
I can search for & pair with other devices with the phone.
I can even use my HBH60 headset as long as i dial within the phone.

The problem is that i cannot get any other device to find the P900. It is checked as visable to other devices & will find other devices if you pair from within the phone but get any other device to find the p900 & the search always times out.
It seems with the visable to others box clicked the phone is not.

I cannot voice dial from the headset because the phone will not pick up on the signal from other devices.

This is a very big problem as the phone is supposed to act as a modem to a laptop but cannot do you if it will not allow any device to connect to it.

Can anybody out there help me. I am just short of doing a master reset on the phone at the moment so please HELP!

Either you are doing something wrong, or there is something wrong with your handset.

This is not how they normally work.

[cdover]

Have you tried getting a service update on the SE website? A definate fault with either your handset or the handset you used to find the p900. Good luck...

[flinx]

i have already tried my T610 with the headset & its perfect. I have also paired the T610 with my Ipaq & its fine but as i said before the P900 will not receive bluetooth signels unless it is broadcasting itself.

Apparently an upgrade to fix various Bluetooth issues will be available approx end feb 04.

current version is. cxc12529 r5d

cda 162003/5 r3a05.

Anyone have an issue with the phone when in sms mode,freezing,
only solution is to remove battery and start phone again.
message on screen is a flashing BUSY.

Phone will not switch off as well??

please advise.

[Ni+Mh]

Well you could first try to turn off the phone, and turn it on again and try the same process.

And if it doesn't try performing hard reset once you have saved a backup of your phone's data.

Still don't work? Send it back for firmware upgrade (Not too sure if there's any yet)

[Michael]

You can do the firmware updates yourself, don't send it back for that.

Michael,

Thanks for the update,but various attemps have been made to utilize the SE update service to no avail as the response from the service is that the CDA 162003/05 R3A05 is not supported.

We have therefore reverted to the traditional route but the problem of the unit hanging ,still persists.
This only occurs in the Messaging mode.

In SA the current versions are the latest available.

Phone. CXC162022 R3C006
Bluetooth . CXC12529 R5D
Organiser . CXC162021 R3A06

Hopefully someone can assist.

Regards

PS. Will you be using the N6820 as your Bluetooth Handset in future tests.?
Apparently the HDW-4 is availiable in Dubai,i urgently need to acquire a unit for test purposes ,using the 6820 as the hanset in
conjunction with the Logitech Bluetooth Hub.
Looking forward to your evaluation on the GN 6110 .

when writing the CDA @ the SE service website, dont add on the part 'R3A05'. just the 'CDA 162003/05'

[schumi]

Many Thanks for the Tip,it worked,i will advise the local SE support
team.
Hopefully the update will fix the various issues although the Bluetooth software is not upgraded at this point in time.
The cda software version installed was the latest so i have just performed the update again .:)

am having a problem with the bluetooth i can't send any file to my P900 using my laptop and i can't send a music file or a video file to my cell phone via bluetooth so please tell me if there is any kind of software that i need to get so that i won't have any trouble with file transfer. and thanks in advance.

[commedecargons]

wat respond ur phone gives u when u couldn't send it?>?? wat messages or error messages??

[DemonTye]

it says: failed to transfer entry to DemonTye which is my lap tops name actually. so i don't know how to solve this problem please help me out you know i was adviced to get a software but i don't know where can i get it so please if there is any solution for this problem.

[commedecargons]

Your laptop came with built in Bluetooth? Did u check out which services ur laptop allows u to? Or wat profiles were set up? because laptops works a bit different with normal phone's bluetooth. You need to tell the laptop wat to set up, for example after i bought my BT dongle, i had to set up my BT profile a few times to allow it to support OBEX file transfer (which is what u need right now), PIM item transfer (which strangely it syas P910 doesn't support) and Audio Gateway (which transfers my calls to be inputted and output from my microphone and speakers) and PIM synchronization. Make sure ur BT profile in ur laptop had the OBEX File Transfer profile set up to ur P900.
Lastly, not sure if i could help u but there are alot of brands out there(not sure whether ur's is a BT dongle or built-in Bluetooth, but some of them had very lousy and unstable softwares that comes with it, some of them had unstable BT. :)

[DemonTye]

i own the ibm laptop and it has built in bluetooth but i don't know what to do then. my friend has nokia and his cell phone had some programme which allows him to connect with the laptop but my p900 didn't come along with any software like that so i don't know if there is any downloadable software or something. i know one day i did send a song file to my cell phone but i can't remember at all how did i do it. so please i guess i need to know more so help me out and thanks to those who replied,

[commedecargons]

hav u paired them~~ ??

[DemonTye]

paired them? what does that supposed to mean could you explain please? umm lemme add this tiny lil info today i went tto the mall and i saw this blue tooth car if you know about it and at the same time i asked the shop keeper about the problem with connection problem with bluetooth so he said i should buy something like a usb be link that would enable the bluetooth connectivity between the cell phone and IBM so does anyone know about anything like this.?

[commedecargons]

ok..... Make sure the BT on ur laptop is on. Then ON ur P900's BT, click devices, click 'Add' then when ur PC's name appeared, click it; P900 will prompt u to enter some code, just enter a '0' (a zero) then ur laptop's lower right corner will pop a ballon requiring u to click on it and enter '0' (a zero again) then u will see something like 'Pairing Successful' (sort of..) then, only u can start sending and receiving files to and forth.

[DemonTye]

i did that one before too and you know something it gave me the same message :( meaning (failed to transfer entry to DemonTye which is my lap top's nick name. i don't know really what's wrong with this thing.

[commedecargons]

well then..... are u using Windows SP2 ?? Cos when i updated to SP2 a few months back, my phone (P910) couldn't get sync, BT pairing, or watever sorts of connections, just couldn't be made to my PC.

[DemonTye]

well um yes i do have sp2 on my lap top. so do you think that's the reason behind that? could it be the firewall or something like that? hmmm so what to do about it now? any solutions?

[commedecargons]

Definitely. Uninstall it. SP 2 ruin my PC Suite, disable my BT dongle's original driver, and ruin my thumbdrive. Wish i had the $$ to run Microsoft a lawsuit.....

[jojoc]

Come to think of it, you're right. I never did get any reply from all the "Send" clicking I did.

[commedecargons]

hahah~~~replying to all these would cause Microsoft a fortune....... 97% of the PC world are theirs....... imagine the numbers.......

[traunuoc]

Hi,
I am using p910i and my laptop has Sp2 too. It workfine with bluetooth.

I can do discovery phone from my laptop and do all synd,.... file transfer via bluetooth.

I do not think the problem is with the Sp2 itself. It maybe because of Security setup as well as config the service from Bluetooth driver ans tools.

[commedecargons]

well........ lucky you.... :cool:

[DemonTye]

well could you tell me about the security settings then? how can i do it and stuff please??? and yeah i had something esle to ask about too you know i have built in bluetooth and it's said for xp users they will have the bluetooth icon on their desk top but i don't i don't know why. but is there a away where i can get it and creat a short cut to it?

[commedecargons]

hope u get it done soon demon.... er tye.... :)

[DemonTye]

thanks but the guy didn't say anything to me how to work on the security settings. i really wanna know. and yea i've heard about the viruses spreading around does anyone know about any antivrus system for sonyericsson? i am sorry it's an off topic question.

[commedecargons]

nope~~ sorry..... pls let us know if anyone found one. :rolleyes:
