Bluetooth RemoteDevice Help

Hi Guys,
I need help,
I have developed an app in Java WTK 2.2 that discovers all bluetooth devices in range and using
device.getBluetoothAddress() i can return the devices MAC address.
However, i was to use
device.getFirlendlyName()
However, when i use this, errors come up.
How do i access a devices friendly name?
Please help
Chris

Ok, this is interesting. My headset pairs, connects, then drops. If I open my sound prefs and select the headset, it boots and I have sound. As long as I do not close that dialog (this trick from another thread), the headset remains active.
Clearly you need to have activity to the device to keep it on line - makes sense, to save power, though it apparently has "failed". The device bounces back in to try to cennect, then out again.
Fun part: if I open Skype and dial someone, the headset kicks in. So for the moment I am treating it as "on demand", though it is a little unnerving. Certainly don't like this pop-in-pop-out behavior. Maybe a bit of config I haven't read yet, or an OS bug.
A Traud mentioned some "force visible" feature of some headsets. While his posts are frequently incomplete, and I would not be very happy with him as my Helpdesk Attendant (sorry, Traud, but take a good look at what you're dishing out: what's with this Bluetooth Updater that is supposed to be run even if you are on new systems? Sorry, baby, strike two), still it is worth looking into, perhaps the headset is "proactive" and maintains its own connection?
I had a high-end motorola which I believe had this ability. I traded it in for this Plantronics Voyager 510, which is uncomfortable and can't do this nifty trick - maybe I'll switch back.
Let us all know if you find anymore data.
Thanks

I resolved this myself actually, by using the jsr082.jar package that came with the WTK instead of the origional Rococosoft version.
I now have a new problem tho, please see my other thread!

Samsung SGH-d807 Bluetooth connection help

I just recently bought a new Samsung SGH-d807 phone and was wanting to use Bluetooth to connect it to my iBook so I could transfer .mp3's to use as ringtones, among other things. To do this, I had to go out and buy a Bluetooth adapter so that my iBook would be able to connect to Bluetooth devices. I realize that the DLink adapter is the one officially supported by Apple, but the only one I could find around town was the Targus USB Bluetooth Adapter - Class 2 (ACB10). The packaging said it was supported by OS X 10.4 so I figured it was worth a shot. I plugged the adapter in and my iBook seems to recognize it without any problems, but I've tried to have my iBook find my new Samsung phone and it can't. I've got the phone's Bluetooth turned on and made sure that it's discoverable by other devices.
I guess what I'm wondering is if anyone out there with this phone has had the same problem, or if anyone can give me any suggestions or anything like that. Any help would be great.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Solved the problem myself. Took the Targus adapter back and found one made by IOGear for about half the price that seems to work like a charm.

Bluetooth problems help

I have paired my iphone to the computer but for whatever reason it will not let me connect to use it. I don't know if there is something else I am not doing. It says that it paired correctly...please help.

Yes I know it well. I flashed the -400 version (E71-2) with still no success. I have a 2007 Acura TL. Your HFL system is identical to mine (BT s/w version and HFP version). The nice people at www.handsfreelink.com can do nothing until Nokia and JCI agree to test the phones and post the results.
What I am about to share with you is a very lame work-around, but it has worked for me for a year consistently.
1. Pair the phone.
2. Incoming calls should work fine once paired (you should see BATT and Signal LVL)
3. I was unable to load the contacts into the NAVI with that phone so I can not help you there.
4. Turn-on the "Show Call Duration" on your phone. Menu>Settings>Calling
5. Place all calls FROM THE HANDSET (Voice activate if that works for you which is safer)
6. Look for Connection. When the call connects you will see a timer beginning to increment 00:00.
7. When you see the timer display, select the right shortcut key that says Bluetooth. There will be a 2-3 second delay but you will be handed off to your car kit speakers with full volume control from the stereo system.
8. You can hang up with the steering wheel control or using the phone.
The E72 is marginally better. The T-mobile based Nokia 7510 works very well and the Nokia N900 also works (both use BT v2.1) although both phones are aligned with T-Mobile UMTS frequencies. Nokia's implementation of BT version 2.1 may solve the problem but only time will tell.

BB Curve 8310 ATT Bluetooth headset HELP

I am at the end of my rope here with this 'thing'! Switched to ATT in June and got the Blackberry. Bought a Motorola
Bluetooth when I bought my 'smart phone'. Salesman raved about the Moto headset. The week before I had purchased the
newest version of the Jawbone, which did not fit me correctly and no one could hear me speak. (Returned it
and this is when I got sucked into the Blackberry and ATT )
Long story short-- I now own 3 brand new Blue tooth headsets-- Motorola, Plantronics and the raved about newest
Call Pod Dragon-- all since June 2008! All are compatible with the Blackberry model I have.
All pair correctly with the BB. All my settings are correct. ( I only have tried one headset at a time)
They ring-- I can answer and then the exact same thing happens with each different headset--
everyone complains that they can barely hear me-- I sound garbled and crackly--
people hang up on me. I am unable to conduct phone calls on my cell phone .
So after 3 hours on the phone with ATT-- they can't figure anything out ( bounced around to 3 different people)
and decide to send me a new Blackberry ( really a refurbished one-- which is how they replace their phones).
My reception area is not the problem either.
The set up of the new phone takes many hours of my time along with a 4 hour phone call with ATT, since the directions
that came with it are as bad as the user guides they have online.
Guess what? So far the the same problem remains. I have one more Bluetooth to charge up and try but I am doubtful it will allow me to make calls.
The Blackberry is supposed to work as a cell phone, yes? Unfortunately, I can not hold a phone up to my ear-- cervical discs blown and numbness in my hands. There isn't even a plug in slot to put a corded headset in? Out of 1400 cell minutes a month-- I'm only using about 76 a month. I've had to borrow a cell phone for work.
Answers please please..... Thank you in advance...I have tons of ATT roll-over minutes I'll share if you help me ! LOL

Thanks for the info. I don't remember getting a head set beyond the motorola bluetooth one. I'll have to find the boxes now.
The weird thing is that I tried using that jack on the blackberry with a cordless headset I have for my plantronics home phone
system and it doesn't fir-- hole to big. This headset has worked with every other cell phone I've had the past 5 years. So I wasn't sure what the receptacle was for when the 'fit' didn't work.
How about if anyone else has experienced multiple bluetooth sound problesm with this model Blackberry? Any answers ? Solutions?
thanks

Bluetooth stick help needed

MS-6967 and Sony Ericsson T630 problem
I am using a Sony-Ericsson T630, MS6967 bluetooth USB sitck with Fjitsu Amilo Celeron 2.4GHZ laptop. I have also the latest MS driver 1.4. build 10. Connected on O2 UK mobile.
I can connect to the internet using the bluetooth modem on my mobile but the speed is no higher than 9.6kbs. I've tried every config possible and my ISP offers me connection up to 56kbs. Can anyone please tell if this normal? What connection speed should I expect using the 6967? Is there any special configuration for the MS6967? Can anyone please give config ideias?
Help please
Ted

The equipment you are using would seem to suggest that you should achieve much higher rates than 9.6kbs. I suggest the problem lies with your mobile network provider.
There are various methods used to connect to the internet through a mobile phone; the three that come to mind are CSD, HS-CSD and GPRS. Now I am by no means a technical person but my understanding of these forms of connection is as follows:
CSD - This is the original or 'standard' form of connection and will offer you connection speeds of around 9.6kbs.
HS-CSD - This is a quicker form of connection and was imaginatively called 'High Speed'; from it you can expect 24kbs.
GPRS - Or 'General Packet Radio Services'. This form of connection can offer upto 33kbs however it is important to note it offers 'upto' that speed. Users connecting to GPRS in the same geographical area at the same time share the available data transfer; the result being at busy times of day in heavily populated areas that speed will be compromised.
So to increase your connection speed I advice investigating the services offered by your network.
If none of this makes sense or you want some more insight into the world of mobile internet connection then post a reply with specific queries and I will do my best.

Unable to recieve contacts from pearl to bold via bluetooth please help

hello everyone. I have a BB pearl 8100 and a bold and my pearl has the option for sening all the contacts to another device via bluetooth, i have paired both phones but i do not get the option for sending contact list to device like i do with the other phones i have paired with the pearl. why do some decives recieve this option and others dont, i need to send my info via bluetooth because my usb connection is failing on thes pearl and i have almost 1000 contacts.
please help, any ideas?

This is exactly my issue, even when the 'entire music library' is selected on the music tab, the gauge at the bottom (the blue showing audio) only shows 2GB.
On the top right of this tab however, it still states 8,000 songs. My iPhone 4S is in (almost) complete denial of my library. The other iPhone 4S linked to this library has no issue syncing the entire collection.
I have also tried selecting the other option where you manually check playlists, albums etc, and selected EVERYTHING manually, and still only 2 GB of my entire colletion is picked up.
My next options are backing up my entire library, deleting iTunes and all components and reinstalling, but what if this doesn't fix it? I have wasted so much time on Match so far :-( I could also make an appointment with a genius and bring laptop and iPhone 4S to the shop as a next step.
At this stage I would be happy if they refunded my Match subscription so long as I had my entire collection back on my iPhone.

N8 with bluetooth keyboard help

i have a mx5500 logitech bluetooth mouse and keyboard but i dnt know how to conect it with my nokia N8. cn anyone help me? my bluetooth mx5500 logitech mouse and keyboard come with a usb bluetooth reciever that i plug in my pc so that the mouse n keyboard work but when i search for input devices from N8, it does not find any of them. how to connect them to my N*?

have successfully paired the Logitech M-RCQ142 mouse. However, it is not able to consistently remain connected. It connects, then later disconnects, then reconnects, over and over again. Periodically, too, it will stop functioning - the cursor stuck in place, but the mouse is unresponsive. When this happens, the Bluetooth screen still displays that the mouse is connected.
The same thing is happening with the Think Outside model XTBT01 iGo Ultra-Slim Keyboard. It's connected, then disconnected. I have to manually re-connect the keyboard. Then, a few minutes later, it's spontaneously disconnected again.
Occassionally, when either the mouse or keyboard becomes disconnected, and I attempt to manually reconnect, the N8 responds with an error message that the maximum number of connections have been made (at this point, there are zero Bluetooth connections). I have to turn off Bluetooth, at which point the Bluetooth control panel freezes up and has to be forced to close. Wait a few moments, then restart Bluetooth and I'm able to manually reconnect the devices.
A real pain.
So, once you find some devices that will pair, you're stuck trying to figure out why the connection is so easily broken and so difficult to restore.
If anyone has cracked this nut - identified a reason why the connections are so fragile - I'd sure like to hear it.

Bluetooth Setup Help

Hello!
I want to connect my macbook pro (running OSX maverick) to a pair of sony, bluetooth speakers. I go to open my bluetooth preferences and there is no option to add a new device, nor to open bluetooth setup. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? There is no way for me to pair speakers or any other bluetooth device to my computer..help!

Hi,
Have you put the "dongle" onto its slot ? What is the color of its light ? And what is its status ?
The LED on the Bluetooth accessory provides information about its current state.
• On steady - This is the default state and means the accessory is installed and has power.
• Rapid blinking - A sending device is discovering the Bluetooth accessory.
• Blinking - The Bluetooth accessory is receiving data.
Please use the following setup from your computer:
Configure Bluetooth wireless settings
To configure Bluetooth wireless settings (Windows)
1. Connect the device to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Insert the Bluetooth wireless USB accessory into the slot in the device.
3. Open the Toolbox. For more information, see Toolbox (Windows).
4. Click Configure Bluetooth Settings.
5. Set the Bluetooth wireless options you want.
6. After you have set the options you want, click Apply.
7. A warning dialog box appears.
8. Click OK to proceed.
9. Close the Toolbox.
The printer ignores any other device that tries to establish a connection. The device must wait until the original connection is closed before it can establish a new connection.
More info: Manual page #61

1st gen. G5 cant EVER use bluetooth? Help...?

I have a first Generation G5 (no internal Bluetooth).
I have bought the wireless keyboard and mouse and USB adapter (btooth) from the APPLE store.
I go to the setup bluetooth and it cant find any keyboard.
yes, i have installed firmware.
yes, the keyboard is switched on.
help?

Sorry to hear you are still stuck.
Yes there are other USB Bluetooth adapters, but at the time I got mine the D-Link was reported as the only one that would work. I actually bought another brand before the D-Link. It didn't work and I changed it for a D-Link. My D-Link is H/W B3. This was over a year ago so the story may have changed now.
Assume you have done the firmware update?
Originally I got just the Apple mouse, and I don't remeber having any particular problems pairing, but much more recently I got the keyboard and the pairing didn't work until the fourth attempt. Each time it would get to stage where I had to type in the number, which I did, but then after a while got the red writing message that pairing had failed.
When I was doing the first three attempts the mouse was not paired. Before the fourth attempt I paired the mouse, which worked first time, then paired the keyboard which then worked successfully. After being discovered I let it go on to rename the keyboard in the same window before clicking continue. When I tried again I restarted from the beginning each time. None of these three points may be significant but it is what I did. However, I am pretty sure that on at least one of the failed attempts, possibly all, I was forgetting to hit enter after typing in the number, this obviously would be significant!
Good luck
Mike

PLEASE HELP ,,, I have this problem on both of our iphones ,
thanks ,,,
Dr. Aws Maan

You already got the answer.
The iPhone bluetooth ONLY supports connections for headsets, and tethering an Internet connection (only if your phone is set up to do that). You cannot transfer files from a computer using bluetooth. Even if it did work, bluetooth is terribly slow. I doubt you would want to wait on it.

Motorola Bluetooth Carkit.HELP!!!!!!

I just bought a car that is a couple of years old and has a motorola bluetooth carkit in it. I have a Nokia 6230. I have no idea how to work the two of them. Please someone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance!!!

The plugin, as noted, is available from here:
http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?fm=m&ff=1008&fi=891417
To make the RIZR sync with the Address Book, you need to go to your user folder's /Library/ folder.
Inside that folder, create a folder called
PhonePlugins (if it doesn't already exist)
Drop the plugin (MOTZ3.phoneplugin) into the folder.
I think a restart is necessary for the plugin to be recognized.
When you're back up and running, ensure that:
(a) BlueTooth is ON (you can check in System Preferences-->Bluetooth. Also, while you're here, it's a good idea to check the box that shows the status of BlueTooth in the menu-bar, for quick access)
(b) DO NOT have Bluetooth File Exchange running when attempting to sync (i.e., don't select Browse Device from the Bluetooth menu)
(c) Open iSync and Add Device. It may take a moment, but iSync should recognize the Z3, and offer you various options.
Sync away!
Mark.
