Blutetooth, D-link DBT-120 and Nokia 6310i

[GreboGuru]

Hi,

I have this problem. I have a Nokia 6310i and just bought a D-link DBT-20 Bluettooth USB-device. As far as I can understand I have set it up properly with a serial port service and other services as well, but when trying to connect using Nokia Connection Manager (PC Suite 4.88) it fails. The firmware is 4.88. I do something like this:

Start the Connection Manager
marking "Nokia Bluetooth Phone" and double click it
I get to choose which COM-port I should use (Com 5,6,8 ar BT enabled)
The phone asks me to accept connection from the computer and I confirm it
Short waiting wherafter the Connection Manager tells me it "Connection opening to device failed" and the phone disconnects.

What am I doing wrong or are there some tricks here that I don´t know about?

I believe you are fighting a battle you can never win.

Nokia phones required the use of a Nokia Bluetooth card for syncing early on. A card that is no longer being manufactured.

I saw somewhere that upgrading to fw 5.x solved the issue? Do you know anything about that?

I'm considering upgrading to Nokia 6600, will I be able to use the D-link thingy with that phone?

Yes. Should work fine.

Thanks, I think should is the magic word here. I certainly hope it'll work since my 6310i doesn't.

Hi

I recently bought a Nokia 6600 and a D-Link DBT-120. The platform that I have been working on is Windows XP SP1, but I am next looking to get the operation working on a GNU/Linux system sitting next to me.

On Windows, the whole thing just doesn't work reliably. I get error messages, Explorer crashes, Nokia's poorly written PC software had to be reinstalled because I got it to corrupt. It's just poor software on the part of D-Link, Nokia, and Microsoft. I blame all three for the crappy support. Keep in mind that this experience is on an otherwise perfectly working system by a Windows/Unix sysadmin. If I can't get it working, there is no hope for your average user.

I'm frustrated. I have heard very good things about Bluetooth on Apple/OSX though. Go Apple. Not sure about GNU/Linux support yet.

i can sync and transfer files with the following Nokia phones via BT with my PC-> 6230, 6600, 6310i, n-gage, 7610

with 6230, 6600, 7610 i can even browse the phone's content and i am not even a sysadmin...

I have 8 words for you... Sony Ericsson and Mac OS X (or later) :D Works perfectly, no problem :)

D-Link DBT 120 works well with my brother's 6230 and Windows XP.
