Bluetooth Nokia not found

English Network/Internet
#1

I’m trying to scan my Nokia phone, but I can’t find it.

After reading Bluetooth - openSUSE I’ve the following output after bluetoothhd -nd (zie annex 1).

But when I do hcitool scan I got: “Scanning … Inquiry failed: Connection timed out”.

My phone (Nokia E71) is detectable because it is seen by my car kit. From my Nokia phone I can also detect my linux PC, but I cannot detect.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Tx

I’m sure that my phone is detectable, because when I open a windows-guest in vmware, it finds my phone without changing anything to my setup.

Tx for your help

That’s strange. Your configuration looks absolutely OK.

I once had a Nokia E70 and a bluetooth headset was not detecting it, even though my computer was. It started working after a Nokia shop did something by keying in some key sequence into the phone.

#5

But when I log into a vmware WinXP session it is working. So it can’t be the phone.

From the phone, I can also detect my PC but I can’t connect that way.

Yes, you are right.
I ran out of suggestions.
Can you try with another bluetooth device to see if it is detected by the computer?
Can you try with another phone, if available?
Can you try after “rebooting” the phone?

Thanks for your answer so far.

I was considering de-installing bluez and try to compile it from scratch.

But first, I’ll try with another phone.

Just give me a couple of days, and I’ll post my response (it is a long weekend over here :slight_smile:
