I can get abuse at home. I don't need it here, thank you.

Since posting, auto-update has taken me to 2.20

I have done this. I get a message saying that the BT modem is
"unavailable or being used by another application". Unfortunately, I
can't think for the life of me which other app would be using it. Been
into Windows Processes and killed anything that looks like a likely
candidate. Shooting in the dark, I feel

Anyone else experienced this?

Slim

P.S. Yes, I have RTFM'ed.

You can take it as abuse, but when something isn't working question yourself
as the operator 1st not the equipment.

I have the Hama Bt dongle and experienced the same as yourself, posted here
and got no reply, then discovered.

I insert the dongle in to the usb, run the BT software, this onnects to the
phone,then I start MPT pressed cancel as MPT was booting up, then F6,
changed the modem to BT and I could do all the stuff I can do with the lead.

I found that I first have to enable the Belkin Dongle by creating a
connection for the Motorola phone (I presume you successfully paired the
phone and the laptop) and then getting the laptop BT connection to start
within the Belkin Bluetooth software. THEN I can get the Mobile Phone
Tools to connect. The connection isn't instantaneous - some handshaking
stuff seems to be involved.

The manuals are terrible so I only discovered this by trial and error.
I had similar hassles with my previous Bluetooth phone.

I don't think the Op wants to mess around with the device.
I agree it is awkward to setup, more to do with the Bt dongle instructions,
however once going I'm sure you agree is easy enough.
BTW the services to uses on the dongle software is DUN. Dial up network.

Thanks for the advice. I tried this and again found that it wouldn't
work. No phone found.

I did try the MPT 'new phone' setup routine and it *did* find the new
phone! Unfortunately, the software locked up while trying to 'install'
new settings, and I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to break into the loop.
Haven't been able to get it to repeat the routine since Most
curious.

Still, I did get the laptop and V600 to see each other in the Belkin
'My BT places', and on the umptheenth attempt found that *this* time I
could simple drag an mp3 file onto the phone using nothing more than
Windows Explorer. Excellent. Dunno why previous attempts to do the
same failed. I'm tempted to philosophize and say "You live and learn".
Hmm. You live, yes, but learn? Only sometimes Somethings seem
determined to remain secrets....

TTFN,
Slim
