This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.

I do this via the remote control program "anyremote". anyremote "talks" via Bluetooth Channel 19. The PC "anyremote" component does NOT have to be running. Just making the attempt seems to "wake up" the Bluetooth service on the PC. I have a new phone Nokia 5800 and the behaviour is the same as with the 6233. When the "connection" is made everything works ok. Its very consistent, although sometimes after a restart Bluetooth connection works without intervention. I have reported this behaviour in 268502, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/268502 "Now bluetooth mostly only works (ie can send files or use Gnome Phone Manager) if I connect from the Phone to the Laptop (Dell using 370 Minicard) via anyremote first. So what I have to do it start anyremote via ganyremote - then I start Anyremote on my Nokia 6233 and then I can disconnect if I want too (don't have to) and then the Laptop can successfully communicate with the phone. I updated to latest Blues 4.36 from 4.32 no change" I assume its bluez - but I suspect it might be kernel related.
