Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2006 4:18 am Post subject: W810i & my powerbook - not connecting |
|
|
I switched phones today, as my service provider was blocking my ability to download the clicker to my phone. Now I have the W810i, but I can't get it to launch the salling clicker from the phone. When I hit connect from the phone, it briefly sees my computer & then it states "No devices found is your computer discoverable?" - It is & the two are paired. I can swap files from one to the other and vice versa, but I can't seem to get it to launch the salling ap. I even tried to go to the wap site, but the provider blocks it out.
Any thoughts? I feel like I am missing some simple step here, but I have tried this over & over.
Thanks,

I'm a bit confused by your post.
Can you or can you not launch the Salling application? (you said: "I can't seem to get it to launch the salling ap", but you also indicated that you got it to launch just fine)
Then you said: "When I hit connect from the phone, it briefly sees my computer & then it states "No devices found is your computer discoverable?""
What do you mean by "briefly sees my computer"?
Either way, I think I know the solution:
Shorten your computer's Bluetooth name (System Prefs -> Sharing -> Computer name). There's a bug in these Sony Ericsson phones' Java that prevents devices with long names from being discovered.
Best.

Thanks! I shortened the name & it worked instantly. I had already packed up the phone to take it back!
