Nokia 6600 & Pc Suite Connection via bluetooth How??????????

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

I use the Belkin dongle too... works OK, but a bit difficult to set up..

I have to:
- double click on Belkin Icon (lower right of windows screen), opens My
Bluetooth Places, then click on Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, this opens up
a window with the Nokia 6600 phone in it - then right click and connect
serial port.. once this is done, open PC Suite and connect..

there may be an easier way, but for now, this works for me.. maybe sure the
phone B/T is turned on.

We can suggest to have a look at Oxygen Phone Manager for Symbian OS
phones ( http://www.opm-2.com/symbian/ ). We offer quite new
connection algorythm, which allows to establish rather stable
connection.

If you will have any connection problems, just have a look on our
forum thread dedicated to Symbian phones connection troubles:

http://www.oxygenphonemanager.com/forum/postlist.php?Ca...

If you will have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

If you have an internal modem, try opening the device manager and
disabling it. It's annoying, but that was what worked for me.

Lower right of the running Applications area, next to the clock, should be a
"connection Icon" (gray) - looks like 2 plugs that are not connected.. open
this, choose the Com port you want. I use COM 10.

Did you guys (Oxygen) know that the download link on the left of that page leads
to OPM2, not the Symbian one?

I found the right one eventually, here:

They keep putting up the wrong product links for their own software.

Oh, so it's normal then. :-)

Kinda works too, but that bluetooth stuff is rather a black art isn't it?
Sometimes it connects, sometines not.

Ironically, when I installed and ran the OPM client in the phone, Nokia's
mrouter think sprang into life as it recognised the phone.

Still couldn't connect with PC Shite though.

PC shite indeed. I find BT works in windows XP OK for file transfer, but as
soon as PC Shite is involved - it's a disaster.

latest pc suite and bt works fine for me. i've got an instantpan bt
dongle from ebay.co.uk which was a doddle to setup and works perfect
with pc suite / 6600.

I have now give up trying to connect with Pc Suite come to the conclusion it
is a problem with Belkin bluetooth dongle.
Everytime I try and make a virtual com port it uses Com0 which phone does
not like so have now give in unless anyone has any ideas??

I get around it by sending any dates I create on phone to my PDA vis
bluetooth then when I sync PDA via bluetooth
it syncs with Outlook on PC bit long winded I know but only way I can see of
doing it!!!

Thanks

6610 with PC Suite 5.1 and irda was fine except I had to send in the 6610
for repairs 5 times so gave up on that exercise.

6230 with PC suite 6.2 and irda or BT is a disaster, as is getting a
coherent response from Nokia support (oops sorry "executives")
