Re: Problem connecting to the Nokia PC Suite via BT
Hi!
I'm also new to BT and I have a similar problem, I think my problem is worse :-)
I have a Nokia 3660 which I want connect to my PC.
I bought a Mobile Action Bluetooth device (MA-700) for the purpose but
I cannot make it work through the PC suite provided by Nokia. Nokia
connection manager cannot detect the bluetooth device (connected thru
USB). I can only use the bluetooth device using the program bundled
with the bluetooth device (from mobile action) but the features are
very limited, for example, I cannot use it to transfer programs
designed for N3660 (symbian). I was able to make a mork-around by
changing filename extensions (from .sis to .jar or .jad), but there is
the limit in file size for transfer.
I also downloaded a 3rd party PC suite, it can detect the phone but
cannot make a connection.
Please help.
Thanks,
Dheniss
