USB BLUETOOTH DONGLE HELP PLEASE:

i bought a bluetooth dongla for the PC so i can connect to the mobile phones but i cant seem to get a connection :confused

ive put in the dongla programe disc - all went ok

mobile's bluetooth settings are switched on.

i have a bluetooth class 1 billionton dongla - if this helps at all :O
PHONES: motorola V600 & samsung A501

i presume these are for transfering data from mobile to pc & vice versa ?
anyone care to help me out here

Dongla or Dongle? :laugh

It would be easier to use the cables and software that came with the phones to transfer stuff (pictures / music etc). I've always found Bluetooth hit and miss sometimes it works, sometimes it wont. Phone to phone I use IR if I can.

(Using my phone cable makes it really simple to synchronise contacts in outlook and on the phone. )

i did'nt relise they were so hit or miss. might just stick to cables then.
i was just trying to clear out some cables - USB = tidyer.

IR i guess you got a nokia :laugh
you want to buy a dongla but not on a beach front only USB :laugh

dongle - sorry my bad spelling

I've got a Sony Ericsson.

But it IR's to the Nokia's fine.

Maybe all are not hit and miss, but it's always been hit and miss for me. Even with the same phones, sometimes it'll connct, sometimes it wont. Sometimes they'll connect to each other, sometimes not. The Ex just bought a new phone, it will not bluetooth with her BMW, it's an LG, her old LG was fine with the car. It's (BT) always seemed weird to me.

yeh no problems :laugh its how i transferd my bought ring tones to hers.
her's holds full MP3 songs & can be used as ring tones :banghead

the only thing i wish the samsung had that the motorola has is vibrate then id swap her :laugh vib's handy for on the bike

 

[Steve TLS]

My SE is an MP3 player and will play a few formats and they can be used for ring tones, but it will only take a 128mb stick (i.e. Death march for any work related numbers :laugh but for the 1/2 dozen that call me regularly I know who it is before I look at it.) it vibrates, but you can't feel it when it's under the trunk on the bike.

had the same prob with mine. It seems if your running xp with service pack2 windows will use its own driver and not the one on your disc. try this page....it is for a widcomm(which is what i have) but should work for all others.
