Hi,

After a couple of hours trying and reading through a number of posts on this forum, I think I need your help:

Set-up:
- Dell Insprion 8600c with integrated Bluetooth
- Windows XP SP2
- Widcom stack, latest download from Dell website that should address SP2 issue
- Later deleted Widcomm stack and replaced by MS SP2 stack as described in
http://geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=3163 (worked fine for me)

I can:
- discover, exchange keys and pair laptop with K700i
- discover services K700i provides (although Widcomm showed more than MS stack!?)

I cannot:
- send/receive files (tries, then tells me that the connection is broken)
- use Bluetooth model to dial-up
- the SE SyncStation software doesn't even see the mobile.

Once, after unpairing/deleting the K700i form the Bluetooth configruation, i suddenly got the 'Phone Monitor Options' application popping up asking me for a phone name and SIM name. After that, the SyncStation and other SE applications would see the phone, but could still not talk to it. Tried to sync a couple of contacts - noooops!! After configuring the K700i and pairing it, SyncStation again could not see the device :-((.

To make things worse, the K700i very often hungs up on my, not reacting to anything. The only soltution then is to take the battery out.

Mhhhh, am I totally stupid or is there a major issue with the K700i's Bluetooth software. I start to believe I tried everything possible and still no joy.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Phil

tonytech, are these updates with software supplied by the manufacturer or third party software? It sounds like you're trying to use the software from one vendor with hardware from another - this kind of thing not always work and it is not recommended.

Have got bluetake drivers, and wanting to just go back to where i had it instAlled and working properly, that was before upgrading the bluetooth drivers, did this upgrade because was wanting extra support for bt printing and headsets, however once i upgraded, lost the ericsson functionality..

the blutooth icon that sits in task bar, changed from light blue to dark blue in colour...after upgrade. can use that to synchronise with outlook, but is not as good as sony ericsson.

What version was your previous driver? IS this a Bluetake dongle?
