I too had this problem. I could connect, but the final authentication failed. I was able to send files using the bluetooth manager (Toshiba).
This was my solution:
Go to the phone's bluetooth pairing (after you've tried to authenticate). See if your computer's name is there (mine was). Select it, then options and finally 'set as authorized'. And it should work.
There's one strange thing: in the about section there's no mention of the Toshiba BT stack, while in 'Get connected' I get both Toshiba and Microsoft BT stack. I'm not sure which one is being used, but hey: it works!
Some info:

Cannot authenticate the phone : brand new 6085

I have just bought a brand new 6085 and wish to connect via Bluetooth to my laprop ( full details below) . Depsite having a perfect working BlueTooth set up prior to installing PC Suite , I continually get the
'Cannot authenticate the phone'
error message after I have entered the passkey on the phone.
I have spent about 6 hours checking all aspects of BT , which is otherwise working fine.
What is going on? If I can't get a solution promptly, sadly this phone , which in theory is ideal for my needs, is going back to the shop.
Thanks for your help,

"Cannot Authenticate the Phone" with IBM T60 and N...

Hello!
I've been reading through the various posts on the "cannot authenticate the phone" -issue, yet after uninstalling & installing BT stack & PC Suite various times my problem still persists. I've also followed every single piece of instruction I've found on uninstalling Microsoft BT stack, yet PC Suite still reports that it is available.
I can connect from my laptop to the dial-up networking service on the phone, and I am able to connect from the phone to the headset service on my laptop, so BT stack & pairing works ok; I am also able to synchronise the phone via IR => problem must be somewhere in the PC Suite's bluetooth sections.
Is there any flags to enable debugging level logs in PC Suite? I would SOOO MUCH like to see what the hell goes wrong in there.
Or is there *any* way of getting this to work??
Getting pretty tired with this..
Rgrds,
sakuvee.

OK - here's what I did to FINALLY get it working:
1) Uninstall PC Suite (from Add Remove Programs)
2) Uninstall Nokia Connectivity Solution
3) Remove C:\Documents and Settings\[uid]\Application Data\Nokia, ...\\Application Data\[uid]\PC Suite, ...\All Users\Application Data\PC Suite, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia, C:\Program Files\Nokia. Basically all Nokia directories left behind by Nokia uninstallers.
4) Restart machine
5) Run PC Suite Cleaner (all options one at a time, except the diagnostics, don't restart although it recommends to do so)
6) Restart machine
7) Manually clean all typelibs, activex-objects, device-ids and other registry entries linking to or containing Nokia related stuff from registry using regedit.exe
8) Restart machine
9) Install PC Suite
10) Unpair phone (from laptop and from phone)
11) Run Get Connected Wizard

Cannot authenticate the phone

Version 6.86.9.3 of Nokia PC Suite fails with error message:
"Cannot authenticate the phone"
It does not matter what I try (rebooting unpairing/repairing, etc.) it does not work.
The previous version of the software worked fine.
My setup:
Phone: Nokia 6233
Windows 2000 Server
BlueSoleil Bluetooth USB key.
BlueSoleil 2.3.0.1 Release 060802
Stack Version: 05.04.11.20060622
I downloaded a very large update from Nokia, and upgraded for a better experience, however it resulted in a worse experience. I feel very bitter about upgrading.
Do Nokia even monitor these message boards? I've seen others with similar problems but with no solid answers from Nokia other than, "are you sure you plugged it in and paired it properly".

Yes, I have tried your suggestion and it did not work.
I have checked permissions using a sysinternals tools. There are no permission problems, although the following two files were modified during the failed connection attempt.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINNT\Application Data\PC Suite\ConfServer\Settings.xml
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINNT\Application Data\PC Suite\ConfServer\Nokia;SuiteConf;RM-145;359727000098587.xml
I am curious to see how long it takes Nokia to resolve this error I am getting. I know I'm not the only one... and I'm not going away until it is fixed.

Hi,
What you can do is donot insert the dongle before switching on the PC. Switch on the PC first, open Nokia PC Suite and then insert dongle (donot try to switch on the PC when dongle is already inserted in the PC) connect your Phone and now try to connect your phone with the PC. If still it fails, why donot you try it using latest Nokia PC Suite 7.0.7.0 ??? Guys i am not 100% if this could help you but still you can try Best of luck.

E71 windows 7 bluetooth "Cannot authenticate the p...

I am using 7.1.51.0 Nokia PC Suite on Windows 7. I have Nokia e71-2. I have latest software on device (410.21.010) using Nokia ovi Suite (2.2.0.245).
Under Device manager->Bluetooth Radios, I have following Drivers versions installed:
Micorsoft Bluetooth Enumerator from Microsoft: 6.1.7600.16385
HP Integerated module with Bluetooth Wireless 2.1Technology from Broadcom: 6.2.0.9000
Using PC Suite when I try to connect to bluetooth, it supplies the pairing code. I hit OK and then enter the pairing code on e71. The pairing seems successsful and I can see my "tjsingh-mobl" laptop on e71 under Menu->Connectivity->Bluetooth->"Paired Devices". I set it as authorized device. However after some time PC Suite tells me that "Cannot authenticate the phone".
I have searched the forum and have failed to find any solution.
I tried the following also but didn't help. There is no "Service Controllers" app on my e71.
Menu > Applications > App. mgr. > Installed apps. > uninstall 'Service Controllers' and 'Contacts Groups DS Plugin' applications.

Can anyone help?

I had this problem too, but the phone got recognized at last after the latest OVI Suite upgrade. Somehow it must have installed some drivers which allowed win7 to recognize and autenticate the phone

I am so angry - there has to be a misundering. my Itunes was disabled as there was a charge that I did not authorize and I cannot find the phone

I am so angry - there has to be a misunderstanding. my Itunes was disabled as there was a charge that I did not authorize and I cannot find the phone number for security and the dingbat girl who I'm emailing send me a link that does not work. And I am extremely frustrated. Please help. I need a phone # to contact security.

I have a problem with my iPhone 4s. An Apple rep looked at the phone today and determined the phone will have to be replaced. I am trying to back up my data on the phone to iTunes but I cannot get the phone to power up.

I have a problem with my iPhone 4s. An Apple rep looked at the phone tonight and determined I will need a new phone. I am now trying to back up my data to iTunes but I cannot get the phone to turn on. I have it plugged into my computer monitor but it just slowly flashes the Apple symbol. Any ideas on how I can get it to power up for the backup?

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone? If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

Hello thewrongway,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date. Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off. If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

I bought a phone off someone and now i cannot access the phone because it is linked to there account and they are no where to be found. Is there any way i or apple can somehow wipe out the phone?

I just bought a phone off an individual however they did not remove the device from their icloud, find my iphone etc. so i cannot access the phone since i do not have the password and the person is no where to be found. Is there anything I or apple can do to remove it for me and erase and wipe out the phone so i can activate it?

Sorry no, more than likely you bought a stolen phone, especially if you can't contact the seller.
Apple can't do anything to help you wipe or remove.

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?

No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks.

My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button.

My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button. Because of this it makes it tough to put my phone on speaker or type in my v-mail password.

I've been trying to find a common denominator. It happens inconsistently. It never happened before the Denim update. When it does occur, the screen goes black immediately upon answering the call and doesn't come back until the call is ended by the calling party.
I thought it might be the proximity sensor, but when it's working normally I can see the screen go dark when it's at my ear and comes back when I take it away (tried it multiple times). I had Gestures Beta installed. I wondered if that could have an affect so I uninstalled it, but that didn't make any difference. I'm still stumped by the inconsistency. I haven't reset my phone as I didn't really want to go through that...

I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.
