6230i/Dongle

Can anybody please tell me how to get my phone/Pc to connect with one another via a 'dongle'? I attach the dongle to my pc as instructed,it makes a deep pinging noise then nothing else happens?

I have done this without problems using a Belkin dongle and a 6230i.
Ensure that the dongle is correctly installed first off and check it's operation in the device manager.
If you switch on your phone's bluetooth and search for a device it should find it and then you just need to pair them.
What kind of dongle do you have?

Can't connect to 6230i via bluetooth dongle

Hi,
I'm using vista home premium, 32 bit and have installed BlueSoleil bluetooth software version 1.6.1.4 with dongle and have PC Suite version 6.
On the bluetooth software I can see that it recognises the phone and in paired devices on the phone I can see the PC but it does not give me the option to connect.
When I try to connect via PC suite I get the message "There is no available connection type and therefore the connection to the phone cannot be established. The wizard will exit."
I'm not really up to date with this stuff so is there anything I should try to get this to work? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes - it's version 6.84. When I tried to connect PC suite I got the message "Cannot use the connection type. Check that all the needed hardware, software and drivers are available" It's strange because the bluetooth software can see the phone and I can push a business card from the PC to the phone and I can send a picture via bluetooth from the phone and the computer received it.
Not sure what to try...Seems like PC suite has a lot of issues from looking at this website....

6230i help

can anyone please tell me'; can i use the nokia 6230i mto download songs from the pc to the fone and play them? wot do i need to be able to do this
thank you if

What, as in a mp3 player, playing it through the headphones or the speaker on the phone ?. You can download mp3 files that you have either downloaded or encoded off your cds onto the phone and these will play using the music player on the phone. You will need either a usb dongle or a dku-2 cable to trasfer the files. You can put the music on the phone using the Nokia software that came with your phone on the cd or download it off this site.

6230i stops storing images through Bluetooth conne...

I have a 6230i and use a Bluetooth connection with Blue Soleil software to talk to a PC operating under XP Home.
Apart from periodic messages that the Blue soleil software had encountered a problem (which was reported 'automatically' to MS) the system worked fine up to 29th December 2006. In Jan 2007 I have twice taken photographs which have been stored in the mobile's memory (I can recall them in the Gallery and zoom in) but the Nokia PC suite refuses to transfer them to the computer.
When I try the transfer, I get the messages on the PC to indicate that a connection is established after I have accepted the connection on the mobile, but am then told after a pause that there are no new images to transfer. If I seek to interrogate the phone's memory I can get to a screen telling me that ~7Mb is stored in memory (correct) but the folder will not open (and the display sometimes jumps to the contacts 'folder'). I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the Nokia suite of software to the PC but have noticed no benefit, and sometimes get messages saying that the desired operation is not possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what to try next?
TIA
Brian

Still no response, so I will revise my questions.
Since my last posting I have uninstalled PC Nokia Suite and Blue Soleil before rebooting. On booting up, I allowed the computer to find its own software for the Bluetooth dongle.
I then downloaded a new copy of Nokia PC Suite 6.82.22.0 and installed that using all defaults. The phone is now communicating with the 6230i as on the PC I can read the stored text messages (from the SIM) but I still cannot access or transfer images (or contacts).
When I use the file manager, I am told that that the phone memory is 24.62MB of which 11.28Mb are used, but the Gallery and Contacts folders are apparently empty with a default formation date of in 1980. Also, a properties/explore screen implies that they are read-only but the relevant boxes are 'greyed out'. Image store tells me that I transferred pictures in December 2006 without deleting them, but reports that there are no more recent ones to store (there are).
I assume that some setting has changed since December, but what should I be looking for please? Or should I be taking/sending the phone to a Nokia agent for diagnosis?
TIA :-(

Nokia 6230i - can it work as a GPRS modem?

I've got a 'Safecom' USB Bluetooth Adaptor (aka the cheapest one on Ebuyer) and a 6230i. The phone happily pairs with my iBook, but that's about as far as it goes. When I try to send a file to the phone, it says 'unable to validate'. When I set up serial ports for the phone, it says 'could not get services'.
What I'd like to know is thus:
1. What device service and port type do I set for this phone?
2. Under sharing, what type do I set?
3. Under Network setup, do I select the port that the phone automatically set up, or do I select the port I manually set up under Sharing? I ask because only the port I manually set up under sharing is identified as being a 'Bluetooth Modem' in Network Prefs.
4. What exactly should happen when I go into Internet Connect and try to connect via bluetooth and my phone? As it stands, the phone sits and does nothing while Internet Connect tries to connect and then says 'there was a modem error'. I'm on the O2 network in the UK, if that makes any difference.
5. What script should I be using off taniwha.org.uk?
Thanks for any help you can give me, I've been fighting this thing all afternoon.

Jon,
Thanks for the advice... I'm so close to getting this to work that it's painful.
I actually phoned O2 yesterday and asked for the CID string, and was told it was this:
+cgdcont=1,`ip',`mobile.o2.co.uk'
...which seems a bit odd. In fact, it almost sounds like what you'd type in if you couldn't get the settings sent to you via SMS.
Instead, I've gone for the 99**1# route (and variations thereof) and what's happening is the first time I click 'connect', it fails to reach the communication device (even though the phone and mac connect to each other). The second time, it almost immediately says the connection has failed, please check your settings and try again.
What's going through my mind now is this:
1. This can't really be due to the USB dongle not being the ONE AND ONLY that OS X likes, can it? Why would everything else work exactly as it should via the dongle?
2. Do I need to use that ridiculous CID string anywhere? My phone connects fine to GPRS on its own, surely that setting is already in and working, and the Mac doesn't need to know it?
3. Do I need to type my APN (mobile.o2.co.uk) in anywhere? That's the only piece of information I haven't had a use for yet.
Thanks again to anyone who has info, I've been using Ross Barkman's site and also this: http://homepage.mac.com/jrc/contrib/tzones/

Bluetooth / Memory on 6230i

Is there a way to install games/applications on my memory card via bluetooth? Can only install about 5 games on my phone, before it says "memory full" 1mb allocated. Is there a way to customise it, so that I can increase the memory which that can use, or possibly do it so i can install them on my memory card.
Also, is there a way to browse using bluetooth connection? My friend is able to browse the contents of my phone when we bluetooth, but I am unable to him. Same applies with my dongle.
Is there any ways to do the above?

No, only on newer phones such as the 6280 and 6233 phones can you move application onto the memory card. The 6230i does not allow for that.

6230i bluetooth problem

Hi guys, really need someones help please!! Iv recently bought a brand new 6230i, however when i switch the bluetooth on and try to recieve files, it bassically is just not working!! Its ok if i send a file, e.g a photo to another persons phone, all works well. However when someone tries to send me something i get a notification askin for acceptance as usual, then i press ok, and after a few seconds it just say conection failed!!! This is with every type of phone with all types of data. Im wondering if because my chip is now a few years old and only on pay as you go, is it something to do with that?
Its very strange as say for example a friend can see my phone on their phone so obviously the phones are comunicating, but data will just not arrive at my phone!!!
Please help guys!!!!!!
Cheers
Mark

I confirm there is a problem with Bluetooth on this device.
I have been played with bluetooth for a long time (> 9 months) with my Siemens S65, a GPS, a BT dongle and recently with the Nokia 770 tablet. Never have a problem between all these devices whatever I am under Linux or under XP (with the same dongle on both systems). I'm using GPRS regularly with the Nokia 770 (via BT and the S65) and no problem at all. Same thing with the dongle, the GPS and the S65 or the tablet.
Yesterday I acquired a 6230i for testing EDGE (GPRS is a bit -very- slow guys) and ... impossible to retrieve a full page.
There is no problem when using GRPS from the terminal itself.
There is also no problem at all when playing with AT commands through the serial port profile (RFCOMM) using the dongle with XP.
But as soon as there is a few bits to be transfered the BT link crashes : I can only observe the beginning of a HTML when surfing before the BT link stops.
Moreover the Nokia 770 tablet itself is unable to see the shared directories on the 6230i whereas it has no problem for seeing and transfering them from the S65 !
Big, big incompatibilities between 2 products of the same manufacturer!
Sounds like a flow control problem.
So where is the solution ? My firmware (6230i) version is 3.5.

6230i & PC suite 6.8 wont work

Hi all,
i am a total bluetooth noob so please not quick snappy remarks.
I have just got a 6230i and decided to try PC suite 6.8 out.
I have installed everything even my digiconnect bluetooth dongle but cannot get PC suite to see the phone. I just get "cannot use this connection type check that all needed hardware, software and drivers are available."
my setup
Windows XP SP2
MS BlueTooth stack 51.2600.2180
PC Suite 6.8 22 (latest)
Digiconnect BT dongle (Toshiba drivers)
I can connect to the phone via the BT manager that came with the digiconnect dongle but really want to use PC suite. Also the PAn lan or what ever it is says cable disconnected?
What am i doing wrong or what do i need to do. I cannot see the Toshiba stack installed anywhere?
Also in my windows control panel i do not have the Bluetooth icon i have read about, i installed windows on this box before i had a bluetooth phone so maybe i didnt install the BT bit i cant remember.
Any help welcome has i really wanna use PC suite

How do I use a USB dongle to get wifi on my Mac?

I have a power Mac g4 tower running Mac OS X 10.5.8. I pluged in and installed the driver for a USB wifi dongle (802.11 n WLAN) but every thing for airport is grayed out. How do I use this dongle to get wifi on my Mac?

I'm not entirely sure what you are after here, but based on what you posted you may be looking for something like:
Select substr(JDIS.District.abbreviation,-2) ||'/'||
       substr(JDIS.District.Abbreviation, 1,1) As District_Name,
       count(case when JDIS.Warrant.Received_Date < trunc(add_months(sysdate, -3), 'q') - 365 AND
                        (JDIS.Warrant_Status_Code = 'A' Or
                        Jdis.Warrant.Close_Date >= trunc(add_months(sysdate, -3),'q'))

Bluetooth USB Dongle does not work

I have this generic looking USB dongle (forgot the brand) that I use with my eMachines e725 laptop. It worked fine with Linux Mint 9 KDE 64bit that I had to use for the past 1.5 years. The moment I plugged the dongle in, it was instantly detected and the bluetooth icon turned active in the system tray. However it does not work with my ArchLinux 64bit install with KDE4.6 (updated to latest packages). Due to issues with the new Kernel 2.6.39 series, I am using the LTS kernel.

Have you read the Bluetooth wiki page?
Seems to me you didn't run the relevant daemon.
Also, your thread title should include 'bluetooth' - 'USB dongle' on its own is too generic.

Can you plug in a 3g dongle to an apple keypad as my dongle will not work, Can you plug in a 3g dongle to an apple keypad as my dongle will not work

Hello,
I have just bought a new iMac, this is the first apple desktop I have had, I am having trouble with the 3g dongle, it installs but when trying to use it it says there is a problem, I just wondered if you can plug it in to the keyboard with the USB 2.0 and it work instead of the iMac 3.0 usb as I have heard its the 3.0 that is the problem, sorry that doesnt work either, this is so disappointing as it's our only way of an internet connection, it flashes blue and it does show up as a usb.
Thank you

Try plugging it into the iMac itself. Keyboard USB power isn't always sufficient.

Can i connect my ipod touch to internet, via a laptop that is connected to the net by a USB modem/dongle

I have an i pod touch, which i use to facetime friends abroad when i am at home in the uk. I work on a ship and we have very limited broadband and we are not permitted to stream through company PC's. When we are in port what i would like to do is buy a USB modem/dongle (locally, as of now i am in indonesia) for my laptop, and connect to the net using that. Is it possible to make the laptop a wfi hot spot and then connect my touch so i can facetime.
Is it technically doable?
How much data does facetime use, and would it be an expensive way to do it?

Yes. Google for
setup window 7 (or the OS you have) as wofo hotspot
See:
http://www.geeksugar.com/How-Much-Data-Does-iPhone-4S-FaceTime-Use-23562212
for comparison, according to one test of an iPhone 4 FaceTime call, about 3MB of data were used per minute over 3G service. Using this rule, a one-hour FaceTime phone call would use a scant 0.175GB of data.
