Ok I ordered something from Here a week ago and saw This bluetooth adapter. I thought I might as well get it for the price and try it on my Sony Ericsson S710a. I got it in the mail today. I plugged it in and windows finds drivers for it. I put the disc in for the bluetooth adapter and installed the software. I put my phone in bluetooth mode, and opened Floats Mobile Agent it doesn't find the phone when I searched for it. I opened Control Panel > Bluetooth Devices, and tried searching for it in that and it still doesnt find it. Does anyone know what I might have to do to get this to work?
 
Bluetooth is a low powered, short range RF signal that is designed to replace cables basically. What are your trying to connect to your phone? Replacing the USB link? Have you tried to use FloATs with a USB connection cable?

Apparently this problem is not unique . . .

The problem is the software - apparently not very XP compatible.
 
I am trying to connect my computer to my phone. I have the USB connection cable that came with my phone. The DCU-11 cable, but it never has worked, I have tried using the cd but nothing works. So I figured I would try bluetooth. I tried USB again with floats and I still get: Connection failed! Should I try a different USB Dongle, or different software for the current dongle? What is a good dongle for under $20 on newegg that works in XP. I also want to use bluetooth because a couple of my friends want to use it on their phones.

Edit: I just tried changing some options in FMA, and changed COM Port from 4 to 3 and USB now works. If anyone knows how to get the bluetooth working let me know.

Edit: Hmm maybe it doesn't work. I have 1 message in my inbox that just says "Test" and when I go to inbox in FMA, and refresh it has a loading bar that just keeps going for. I let it go for about 5 minutes then quit.
 
My bluetooth dongle just came in today. I got this one. I got it mainly for use with my phone (T610). I transfered a file to see if it worked and it worked just fine. It's $6.99 shipped from Hong Kong or something.

I have Windows XP. When I was installing it though (from the included installation disk) it took a really long time and slowed my computer down..hmm. But it eventually finished and worked fine after I restarted.
 
How long did it take to receive? Mine took about 2 weeks so I was hoping to get one from newegg if I got a new one. Also what is the link that one doesnt work.
 
A common problem is Windows installing its own BT stack upon detection of an adapter. Therefore, \WINDOWS\inf\bth.inf should be renamed. You may have to uninstall everything now and start again. Try using the software included with the adapter to connect with the phone before adding another layer of potential problems with FMA or such. Also, be sure to enable BT on the phone (my BT function can be powered off to save battery).
 
I dont have \windows\inf folder so I ran a search on \windows and here are the results:

Which one should I rename?

Edit: Nevermind forgot to unhide folders
 
Ok I got BlueManager to work. But all I can do is view the memory stick. And I could already do that by plugging it into my memory card reader. I tried to connect with FMA but it wont work. I had to go to something on my phone to search for my computer and then it found it and I had to enter a number password into my phone then into my computer to be able to search it.
 
Apparently what you don't have is software that equates to Susteen's Data-Pilot.
