Hello,

I'm trying to connect 11.1 and a mobile phone via bluetooth USB adapter.

When I plug the adapter, it shows up in dmesg:

  usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5   usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice   usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0a12, idProduct=0001   usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

in lsusb:

  Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

and hciconfig:

  hci0:   Type: USB           BD Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8           UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN           RX bytes:771 acl:0 sco:0 events:35 errors:0           TX bytes:410 acl:0 sco:0 commands:34 errors:0

When I set the phone to "visible" mode, "hcitool scan" finds the phone:

  raven:/ # hcitool scan   Scanning ...           xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx       Motorola Phone   raven:/ #

But that's all I can get working.  Whatever I do, the phone can not find the computer.  And "hcitool cc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" don't seem to do anything when the phone is visible.  When the phone is not visible, it exits with "input/output error.

I guess, I have to make the USB adapter visible, but I simply can not figure out how to do that.

Any hints?

What bluetooth services did you start on the suse box? Its not enough just to power up the dongle, you have to enable a profile so it will offer some services, such as file transfer, audio device etc. Also the what are the phone capabilities? can it serve as a modem or only a file transfer device? -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
