BT connection to sony ericsson "different" (ie bad) after moving to Leopard

Help! Can't connect bluetooth to new Mac with Leopard
Hi All.
I have a SE K790a, a MacBook Pro with OS 10.4 (Panther) and have never had problems connecting the two. In particular I mainly navigate to Menu/File Manager/Camera Album to quickly 'push' a photo from the phone to my mac via bluetooth. Beautiful simplicity right? right.
Now I just got a new black MacBook (not pro) and the new OS 10.5.2 (Leopard), and tried to pair them. I can pair them alright but on my phone when I try to connect or 'push' a photo etc. It says, "searching..." "connection failure. retry?" and nothing more.
Yes, BT is on/discoverable on both devices. Yes they have been paired. Yes, the macbook shows up on my phone in its list of known devices. Here is the only difference I can find between the Macbook Pro and the new Macbook (both are listed in MyDevices on the phone).
If you go to Menu/Settings/Connectivitiy[tab]/Blueetooth/My Devices/ then select the old macbook pro (running 10.4) press right softkey ("MORE") choose "SERVICES" you see "Object Push"
awesome.... But.... back to that menu of devices, choose the new macbook (running leopard) and also choose More/Services and you see only:
"Audio Remote Control Target"
***? Why not object push there too? I tried "refresh" on the services menu. it does nothing. I looked in system prefs/bluetooth on the mac. opened the device there and it says:
Type: mobile phone
Services:
Dial-up Networking
HID Mouse & KB
OBEX File Transfer
OBEX Object Push
Paired: Yes
Connected: No
The big wacky thing is why my PHONE's 'services' is different for these two macs and why only on the old one which lists "object push" can I simply push photos via BT in one step to my mac, but can't under leopard.
PLEASE HELP! thanks in advance.

thanks for that se firmware link! i'm up to date now but still after setting up the bt device, i look under services on the phone and it still only shows audio remote (under leopard) as opposed to 'object push' (as was under tiger). what next?
I wonder if that firmware update was pre-10.5.2?
I would call SonyEricsson and find out about this. It's certainly a compatibility issue; and Leopard is what it is.
You might also contact Apple or, on their developer site, post a request for compatibility with your phone in the next release.
Here's the link to the Apple site contact form:
http://developer.apple.com/contact/
No guarantees, but it's certainly an issue. It really depends on how many people have this problem.
I would hope SonyEricsson would be the one to fix it.
I know that there were some security "tightenings" with 10.5.2 that also affected older wireless and even wired modems, which had to have firmware updates to continue to "play" with Leopard, so I think one of them might be the one you are experiencing.
See if any friends with your model phone and Leopard have identical issues; if so, then you have a legitimate case.

Connect to Sony Ericsson W580i via USB

I want to be able to connect my Sony Ericsson W580i to be able to transfer music files to the music player.
The first time I tried, it appeared on the desktop, but ever since it has not worked.
Can anybody help please?

Your mobile handset is supported, but like all other supported devices with the exception of those manufactured by Motorola, you can only synchronize using iSync via Bluetooth.
If your computer does not have built-in Bluetooth, you can add it by purchasing a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter. This is the only device explicitly supported by Apple for such applications.

Ssl connection in Sony Ericsson.

Dear friends,
My application connect the server using ssl protocol in SecureConnection.
I am facing connectivity problem only in sony ericsson c902, t280i and k530i devices..
Can any one guide me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Hithayath

As per the specification, there are only two possibilities
1) the target of the name is not found
2) the requested protocol type is not supported
I would suggest
1) you check if normal socket connection is working
2) Check if the url string you are passing is correct.
3) Check manufacturer's forum to see if these devices are having any connection problems.
Hope this helps.

Sony Ericsson 902 mutlimedia manager on Mac OS Leopard

Hi,
How do I access ISYNC on my Mac OS Leopard to be able to use Multimedia Manager for new phone I bought, a Sony Ericsson 902.
Thanks,

Not directly.
You can transfer (non-protected) iTunes tracks to your phone using EasyListening:
http://www.divinerobot.com/
From iPhoto you can either drag and drop if the phone is connected via USB, or export pictures and then send by Bluetooth using the Bluetooth File Exchange.
There's also a program called FoneLink by novamedia for complete phone management, although it doesn't yet support the C902 (I would presume that is coming soon).

6120 classic problem connecting to Sony Ericsson H...

I have just purchased a Nokia 6120 classic, I am having difficulty getting sound. The unit connects and disconnects, but no sound on either caller or reciever end. Paring and reccognition fine.

Ya, I still think the issue is that the iPod can be used on those Sony Xplod models via an optional cable that plugs into the BACK of the unit and that the USB port on the front of the unit is for mass storage devices like USB thumb drives or maybe an iPod if it is set up to Enable Disk Mode and you put MP3s on the "disk drive" portion (vs. the "player" area) of the iPod like a normal drive.

TS1559 trouble connecting my Sony Ericsson Xperia arcs phone to my i pad 3

hi can anyone Please tell me why my ipad 3 will not connect to my Sony Ericson Arcs phone avia blue tooth as i have never had troble connecting it before to other things before.
its dam well ******* me off.
regards ian

Because iPad was never designed to connect to a phone via Bluetooth. If your phone has a tethering option, you can contact your carrier to turn on tethering, but it is only designed to provide a 3G signal to permit you to use the phone as an internet hotspot. Otherwise, it's not possible to connect a phone to iPad via Bluetooth.
ETA: Bluetooth on iPad was designed only to connect Bluetooth devices, such as Keyboard, Headphones and Speakers. Nothing else.

Sony Ericsson no longer iSyncs after 10.4.7 update

Has any other SE 910a owner run into the same situation with 10.4.7 where it no longer iSyncs? I tried to find a new ISync Agent for the phone, but a search of the Apple site for iSync Agent turn up nothing-curious.
The Apple Store Tech support suspects it has something to do with the 10.4.7 upgrade and that I should report and post it in the Forum, so here I am...
Help!!!
Thank you

No, mine is syncing perfectly post 10.4.7 update. I had some difficulty with syncing it to .Mac but that seem to fix itself after BOTH my PowerMacG4 and my Powerbook G4 were both updated.
The only thing that I can suggest is that every now and then I find that the iSync agent on the P910 doesn't appear to be recognised. All I do then is to go to applications in the phone, choose the iSync agent, turn the iSync agent off, ie. tell it not to sync, then turn the iSync agent back on again (not the phone, just the agent). That has so far fixed the problem for me every single time.
Hope that works for you.

Connection to file server slow and unreliable after upgrading to Leopard

I have a client with a G5 PowerMac (3 GB memory) who has been connecting reliably to a network file server (Windows based) at her company for years. Upon upgrading to Leopard the connections is slower. Or, rather, opening the root level directory is fast. The second level folder is fast. The third level is fast. Beyond that she gets the spinning cursor and it can take a long time to open, even if there are only a couple files inside. Also, navigating back to the first level I see a spinning cursor and "Connecting..." as though the Mac had lost connection with the file server simply by opening the volume. Sometimes she has to Force Quit the Finder (which reports "not responding". Weird. Any ideas out there?

Hi Greg,
It was my second visit to this company, and it was for something else that I was focussed on. I don't know what kind of server they are running. It's a PC house running Exchange servers so it's probably some kind of Microsoft system. If the problem persists I'l get more info next week when they reopen after the holiday.

Hello lokeshkumarn
You are right, unfortunately some apps are made available only for certain models, also some carriers may request some apps to be included or be left out of their custom firmware.
Most of the additional widgets and apps are available in the Play store for you to download.

Help! My Sony Ericsson T715A can no longer connect to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode...

Sony Ericsson T715A: I can no longer connect in to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode; so I can no longer sync contax, calendar, tasks etc. with MS Office Outlook. Also cannot back up phone, or
update software. Can only drag files out into Explorer folders. When I connect the phone, it has to be on. Instead of going right to phone/PC mode, I get a message on it saying "Phone functions are
not available in File Manager mode. Continue?" I say yes, whereupon the phone seems to restart, & then the Microsoft Autoplay folder comes up, or else I can find it in "devices and printers." R-
click the icon, "properties" Identifies it only as a generic Microsoft device. I tried running the computer troubleshooter on it, which came up w/nothing.
    After some period of time I will notice that the phone either rings and I can answer it, or it has stopped recharging, and the icon has disappeared from the PC.
    I had the 2007 version of PC Suite and PC Companion, and when I tried to install it on my 2010 PC w/ Windows 7 it said not compatible. I downloaded an update for that software from the SE site, but it didn't help. Then I ran the compatibility wizard in Windows 7 for PC Suite. Still no luck. I got a tip from an SE forum to uninstall all that software and download a certain package and start fresh. I am about to try that.
    Here is my question:
ALL T HIS TIME I have still been using the OLD SIM card from my SE ZZ710i in the newer phone. I figured it works; why not preserve the newer one from wear & tear as long as poss.
Now, it has been a while since I synched or backed up my phone. I hate to lose everything on it/the SIM card. If I install a whole new version of SE PC Suite, is it going to somehow overwrite or not work at all with my
old SIM card? Must I insert the NEW SIM 1st, & sacrifice whatever data is on the old one, before trying the new desktop software and updateing the phone?
As for updating the phone, which I realize wipes out data, it might be necessary.. I noticed in some Event log or other that some SE-related working file called EMMA was deleted recently, I don't know why. Anyone know anything about that?
Phew. The End. Here's hoping.

Dr Chris:
Thanx for answering my Q of a month ago. As you can see from my post of 18 minutes ago, things have gone from bad to worse under my neglectful eye.
To answer your answer:
a. I WAS using a NEW USB cord when I posed the question.
b. I've now downloaded the update service. I can try updating the phone from its File manager state. I'm just afraid whatever data is on it will get wiped, no?
Point of order:
If I've had an answer - or more than 1- to my question, but I still need to discuss it- should I Check the "Yes my question has been answered" box? I did not, here, because I thought it might result in my further questions dropping off the radar for forum experts. Please advise... \\Butter F

Sony Ericsson w705 connects to Airport Extreme but can't get data

My Sony Ericsson w705 has wifi, it connects to my Airport Extreme (802.11g 2004 model) network but cannot receive data to surf the net. I have managed to connect the handset to another wifi network so my settings must be the issue. I have been told that once connected I should be able to see a DNS address in my network settings.
I connect to my network wirelessly with my macbook without any issues.
When I connect to my network with the Sony Ericsson w705 there is no DNS address in the connection settings. Any ideas how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance
pd

Thanks for the tips, Bob & Bill. We've done a complete shutdown/restart cycle of modem, AirPort Extreme (sorry for the confusion on that!), and computer (turning back on in order from the wall on out), but we hadn't tried leaving the modem off for longer than a couple minutes, so I'll try that. Although it seems strange to me that it would talk to the computer but not to the base station. I've never seen that happen.
Bob, his connection is satellite, so the modem is whatever goes with that. I don't know how different it is from a DSL modem or a cable modem. (He lives out in the sticks, and that's his only option other than dial-up.)
Will post results ASAP.

Sony Ericsson W810i and iSync 2.4: "can not connect to this device"

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4, which I believe are the most up to date versions. My Sony Ericsson W810i is shown as being compatible with iSync as shown on the iSync support page, but while I try to add the phone to it I get the message:
"W810i
iSync can not connect to this device".
Does anybody have any ideas how to sort this problem? I've tried restarting both my computer and phone before trying again.

I finally figured out how to fix this problem. The mobile phone had to be initially added by the computer under Bluetooth to pair them before adding the device to iSync. Adding the computer as a device to the phone to pair them, as I had been doing, didn't allow it to work with iSync.

Sony Ericsson K800i and MacBook... How can I can connect to the web?

Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new K800i Sony Ericsson. I set up bluetooth with my MacBook and everything's ok, but... I cannot connect to the web with my MacBook via K800i as a modem. Do you have any suggestions how to deal with the problem? I don't know... I mean special scripts, settings, and so on.
Thanks a lot

Do you have the downloaded Modem files from the website (or possibly cd that came with it)?
I bought a SE K750i this summer and it has the same ability, and I went and downloaded a bunch of stuff off the website as my product was an international one and the Manual that came with it was in French. So I got my modem file at the same time.
It doesn't show where you are located, but if you are in the USA and your phone is an international one as well (the i usually stands for that) then you would probably want to hit up the UK version of the Sony Ericsson Website to find any possible downloads for it.
