If its a reasonable smartphone you will be able to select the bluetooth
key .. check your phone manual
Almost certainly you'll need to have the phone open on the bluetooth
pairing screen to accept the resquest from the PC
Good luck!

Then my phone rings and prompts me for a "pass code". I have no idea
what it expects, as I have never set a "pass code" on either my
netbook or phone. I tried 0000, which causes the phone to display the
message "Verifying pass code..." (on which it hangs) and rfcomm to
exit with the error message "Can't connect RFCOMM socket: Connection
refused". If I press random buttons on my phone for a while, it
finally says "Invalid password". (They can't even be consistent with
their software's messages.) It's a Telecom R100, if that helps.
From what I remember, there were a few inconsistencies
in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf. I was playing with a Nokia E65...
options {
autoinit yes;
security auto;
pairing multi;
passkey "XXXX";
}
device {
name "%h-%d";
class 0x120104;
iscan enable; pscan enable;
discovto 0;
lm accept;
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}
where XXXX is the magic code you need to input of the phone. Once you're
paired, it doesn't ask again.
Does anyone have any idea why I can not connect to my phone?
Thanks,
Aidan
P.S. Thanks again to Steve for the Bluetooth dongle. :-)
I invoke pay-forward on that... (:
Cheers,
Steve
