Hello, I try to make my phone to be connected to my laptop using bluetooth. I've installed those packages : bluez-libs-3.7-1 bluez-gnome-0.6-1.fc6 bluez-utils-3.7-2 bluez-hcidump-1.32-1 bluez-pin-0.30-5 I've check that /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth is well running. My phone sees well my laptop, ask me for a pin. that's where I have a pb. I tried lots of pin, but each time if failed to connect. I tried to add a file named "pin", in /etc/bluetooth, with the right digits in it, but it failed too. I've tried to install gnome-phone-manager too, but it doesn't help me. I must do something wrong, but i don't know what. ideas ? Thanks. Francois

Hi Francois,
Could you try and explain a little bit of what you are trying to do? What happens if you try to transfer a file / image from your laptop to your mobile?
Note, for file transfers to occur, you need to run the "Applications -> System Tools -> Bluetooth File Sharing" applet.
What is the result of "hcitool scan" on the terminal?
thanks, Rogue

I would like to transfer a file from my pc to my mobile

Yes, I run it.
What is the result of "hcitool scan" on the terminal?
This is it : [root@celtes5 fm]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth status hcid (pid 5278) en cours d'exécution... sdpd (pid 5284) en cours d'exécution... [root@celtes5 fm]# hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:35:B5:69:A0:0C SAMSUNG SGH-D600E [root@celtes5 fm]# Francois

Finally, I successfully sent an image from my mobile to the PC. I got to make it to work, to create a file "pin" under /etc/bluetooth (I saw I have to end the line containing the digits by a carriage return, without it it didn't work here). I got to rename the file I found under /etc/bluetooth from hcid.conf.rpmnew to hcid.conf. I backed up the old hcid.conf file. I changed the line "passkey "Bluez", in the hcid.conf file to passkey "xxxx" where xxxx are the same digits as the one I put in the pin file. And now I make at least one transfert ;-). The pb I still have is : how do I do to transfert a file FROM the PC TO the mobile. I tried to drag and drop the file to the little icon "blutooth share applet", but it doesn't work. I use kde and konqueror, but a right click in konqueror doesn't give me an entry to send to the mobile. So if someone could give me a program, a way to transfert a file, it will help. Thank you. Francois

Assuming that you are trying to pair the two, initiating the pairing from the laptop never worked for me. I initiate the pairing from the phone, i.e. search for devices from the phone and then pair it. The phone requests for a PIN and I just enter any 4 digit number. The same number is to be entered when the Gnome Bluetooth manager prompts you for a it.
