Nokia 6120 as bluetooth dongle

hi all.
i was wondering if it is possible to make a nokia 6120 act as a usb bluetooth dongle so if i plug the phone in with a usb cable to the computer so i can use for example a gps module like the nokie ld - 3w on the computer without buying a seperate usb dongle.
i hope i have maid enough sense for u to understand what i am asking.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

yeah i know what u are geting at but the pc suit gets access to the whole phone right like messages memory card phones internal memory. wouldnt it be possible to make this connection interface with the bluetooth part of the phone and then the data coming from the bluetooth of the phone be emulated to make windows look as if it is another complete device. i know this sounds likemaking realy difficult but it sounds doable to me. well not by me but by someone that realy knows there way around the pc suit software and how it interfaces with the phone.
hope there is someone out there that has this sort of knowledge.
thanks to all ur responses so far and please keep bring up ideas and suggestions as how to get this to work.
thanks.

Nokia 6300 bluetooth dongle prob??

i can recieve images from the bluetooth dongle on my pc but it wont let me download music. it gets to bout 15% then says "sending failed" any ideas please???

if you use that method, the music arrives at an "INBOX" in your phone and there is a liit to the file size.
Install PC Suite and use that, then you canmove files directly to right folder in your phone and even use Music Manager to manage your music between phone and PC

Very compatible Bluetooth Dongle for Nokia 6110 Na...

I was having a lot of problems connecting to my PC using my existing Belkin Bluetooth Dongle. After a lot of searching and reviews I bought the D-Link DBT-122 and wish to point out that this works like a dream with the above phone and apparently all others using the same software. Also I noticed during installation some software was installed on the phone itself and now the volume in my car using the Nokia Bluetooth Handsfree has increased tremendously. I had almost give up trying to use Bluetooth on this phone but what a pleasant change the Dlink has been. Highly recommeded for the Nokia 6110 or others running the same software.

I bought a Belkin Bluetooth dongle for my 6120c.
But when the program starts It gives the Windows 'Blue Screen' and the computer restarts.
Since then i have had no idea on what dongle to buy.
Are you running Vista?

Nokia 6120 and BMW bluetooth car kit compatibility

I am having a compatibility problem between my blutooth kar kit of my BMW 320D (July 2006) an my new telephone Nokia 6120.
I can make phone calls and receive phone calls, but the address book is not displayed on the car's screen.
Everything was working fine with my previous phone, a Nokia 6234.
Could somebody help me on this matter?
Is there any software to download that can enhance the full compatibility?
Thanks

ISync G5 with Nokia 6120 classic

Good afternoon (at least in my country),
I am not a Mac nor a cell phone wizzard and therefor i hope that one of you can help me out. I bought a mobile phone: Nokia 6120. I have a Mac G5 (old version without blue tooth). So far i managed (with the USB cable) to tranfer multimedia to my Nokia.
The problem is the Syncing. I have iSync 2.4 and it seems that this Nokia 6120 is not suported by iSync. I have read in this forum that using other plugins is risky.
*Is there another solution to sync agenda and contacts from my Mac to my Nokia 6120?*
If i understand it well Apple wants me to open a .mac account to enable syncing?
I don't want to pay just for syncing.
Please anyone here who can help me?
Thanks in advance,
Jacqueline

Hi Jacqueline,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The use of iSync Plugins should not be risky - they are the official method Apple provides third-parties with for adding support for new phones.
As long as the iSync Plugin comes from a reputable developer who offers instructions, help and technical support you'll be fine.
What is risky is modifying files inside the iSync application (from instructions you might even find in this forum), or using iSync Plugins from less reputable sources who give no guarantees and aren't liable for any problems you might have.
One such reputable provider of a third-party iSync Plugin for your phone is novamedia. However, you are likely to need to purchase a USB Bluetooth dongle to sync your phone with. The only one officially supported and recommended by Apple is the D-Link DBT-120.
You don't need a .Mac account for syncing to a mobile phone. .Mac syncing is for syncing between Macs over the internet.

MSI Bluetooth Dongle Chipsets?

Hi, I'm looking for a bluetooth dongle which works with skype on my bluetooth headset.
I went through a bunch of cheap ones (ISSC based), and now I'm consdering one from MSI (Btoes 2.0). Can anyone tell me what chipset is in this device? I have had good experience with CSR chipsets, but I can't tell what's inside the Btoes 2.0. The older Btoes appears to have a CSR chipset.
Also, if anyone has experience using either the starkey or the btoes with a Nokia BH-200 successfully I'd appreciate the feedback.
Thanks!

I have the Motorola v80 which has 5megabyte memory.
So the memory front is not the problem.
edit: I read something about getting some security code or anything like that. I have not been asked to register/type in any code/serial of any kind, not during the installation nor durning sessions when using the dongle. I just find this very odd not working. Isnt there any support I could call for this matter. Im located in Sweden, couldnt find any support or telephone number to MSI in Sweden.
I've just bought a product that doesnt work. Thats not fair

Star Key 2.0 Bluetooth dongle crashes Autodesk Maya?

After pairing my Star Key 2.0 Bluetooth dongle to my Nokia phone, I was no longer able to launch Autodesk Maya 8.5 (running on Vista 64-bit edition). Maya quits immediately after it finishes loading. If I remove my phone from the list of Bluetooth devices in my Bluetooth settings, Maya loads without any problems.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the Star Key dongle or with my Nokia phone (it's the only Bluetooth device I own, so I can't test this with another Bluetooth device) or with Bluetooth in general, but I wanted to post this information in case anyone else was having a similar problem. I am using the Star Key dongle with the latest MSI drivers (not the Vista drivers). It's possible that this is not an issue if you use the default Vista bluetooth drivers... I'm not sure, as I haven't tested it.
Let me know if you are experiencing any similar problems.

Dongles are allways a pain in the but.
They are a copy-protection and they are known to give troubles in combination with other devices.
Try under XP, it can be well a Vista problem too.

Satellite C660-108 does not boot if USB Bluetooth dongle connected

Hiya,
I hope you would help me.
I am having an issue with my bluetooth dongle and satellite c660-108.
It works all perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do everything I want.
But then when I am shutting down laptop and turning on again it won't go if the bluetooth dongle is still in the usb socket.
I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
I have to turn it off, take out the bluetooth dongle and then turn it on again.
And then windows starts. After that I have to put in bluetooth dongle again if I want to work with it.
It is not a huge issue but it is a bit annoying when I have to take out the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows started.
I am currently running under win 8.1 but had it already with win 8.
Anybody any ideas??

>I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
Mostly the blinking cursor appears because the notebook cannot find an bootable device.
It looks like the unit cannot switch to the HDD while the USB dongle is connected.
I would recommend you checking the booting order in the BIOS.
Set the HDD at the first place and the USB as last possible booting device.
Save the changes and check if it helps.

Re@lted t0 bluetooth dongle, stack and configuration.. .......

Hi to all,
Those r new or require some more info realted to STACK and statring the prohect read the following page
http://www.cs.hku.hk/~fyp05016/kyng/bt_j9.htm
This is may be benifical to u.
Anyhow, i am making the my final year project related to Bluetooth and i am trying to use AVETANA which can be dowloaded from the following link:
http://www.avetana-gmbh.de/avetana-gmbh/downloads/relicense.idmexieubncmqxqphuvrohkpjcgwbv.eng.xml
After u visit this link u will see that, avetana require three bluetooth address. I have inputed the address 22:22:22:22:22:22 ( or 22-22-22-22-22-22). I have extracted this address from start-run-ipconfig/all after i install the device dirver software "BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1" in Win XP OS. My bluetooth dongle is "ISSC Bluetooth Device" which i extracted from Device Manager (Start - Right Click My computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager). Moreover my VID and UID of the bluetooth dongle is "USB\VID_1131&PID_1001". I have even cheked the microsoft XP site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841803/
for the sake of conformation that whether my bluetooth dongle is supported my Win XP sp2 and the above VID and UID is not present there.
Now the problem is that site doesnot accept my above written address, and so i am unable to download the avetana,,,
In the end(after searching on the net) I have concluded that might the following reason may be there:
1) my bluetooth dongle is either of some local company manufacturer which is not recognized by win XP
2) i am using wrong device driver
3) i am unable to configure properly the bluetooth device.
Moreover, even after installing the device driver (BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1) i am unable to see any bluetooth icon in the Control panel so that i can see/change the bluetooth property.
Plz help me up..
and if i am thinking correct, which company dongle i should purchase or which other bluetooth stack (say like atinav, BlueCove) i should use...
I even want to know that with respect to stack (say atinav) i need to purchase the dongle or not..
moreover, i donot want to buy any stack as this is only my academic project so i donot have so much money to buy a stack (like atinav)
thx in advance..

How can I tell whether my Mac Pro is using the bluetooth dongle or not?

I got myself a bluetooth dongle to get around the terrible internal BT signal. When it's in use, it alleviates all my troubles and I can actually stroll halfway down the hall and still type accurately.
However, it seems that every time I reboot, it must stop using the dongle and use the internal, because I then get the terrible signal of the internal antenna. The only way to convince my computer to use the dongle, is to unplug and plug it back in. Then I have to delete all my bluetooth devices and pair them again!
So yes, I am seeking a two-part solution.
Firstly, I'd like to know if there's anywhere in System Profiler, BT Preferences, Terminal, etc that will just inform me of WHICH bluetooth my computer is using.
Secondly, I'd ideally want to set it to default to the dongle. If this isn't possible, at least the first part would let me know when I need to arduously re-do my settings.
Thank you very, very much. Usually this isn't that big an issue, as I only rarely need to move my peripherals off my desk, but I got a Magic Mouse earlier this week and its extremely clear it doesn't have as strong an antenna or whatever as the Mighty Mouse, and it starts going erratic if I move it so much as a foot from the Mac Pro tower.

I have the same problem and I cannot find any way to turn off the internal bluetooth without killing all bluetooth including the dongle. If someone has a way to turn off the internal bluetooth I want to see it.
Thanks

Hi X42:
Your last paragraph intrigued me as I had the same impression:
I thought unlicensed BT devices were legally limited by the FCC to about 30 feet (3 meters)
Actually, 30 feet is 10 meters.
Anyway, I researched and found this as part of a Wikipedia item:
Bluetooth is a standard wire-replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent, but effective ranges vary in practice; see table below) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.[7] Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other, however a quasi optical wireless path must be viable.[2]
Class
Maximum Permitted Power
Range
(approximate)
mW
dBm
Class 1
100
20
~100 meters
Class 2
2.5
4
~10 meters
Class 3
1
0
~5 meter
The effective range varies due to propagation conditions, material coverage, production sample variations, antenna configurations and battery conditions. In most cases the effective range of class 2 devices is extended if they connect to a class 1 transceiver, compared to a pure class 2 network. This is accomplished by the higher sensitivity and transmission power of Class 1 devices.[8]
Apparently there are BT devices that will transmit about 300 feet. I did look at the FCC site, but quickly became confused in the technbabble.

Nokia 6120 does not work on Vodafone live!

I purchased the Nokia 6120 classic from the Nokia shop in Slough 2 months ago.
I was informed by the sales representative that I would be able to use all the functionality on the handset – just as if I had purchased it directly from Vodafone!
2 months later I am still unable to connect to Vodafone live. This is because the 6120 is currently an unbranded Vodafone Live handset! Vodafone live is in text format only!
Because the handset is unbranded in the UK – I am unable to use services such as Sky TV, Vodafone mobile TV, Slingmedia, etc, etc.
That’s the last time I jump the gun – next time I’ll wait for Vodafone to support the handset before I purchase.
Not impressed Nokia shop in Slough!!!!!
“Good things come to those who wait”

It's not as simple as buying a sandwich.
The phone is fully compatible with vodafone, it's vodafone live that is not compatible with the phone.
Just because he's a manager does not mean that he will know everything about every network. He probably gave you the answer that he had been lead to believe, and the answer is, yes the 6120 classic is fully compatible with vodafone, which is true.
It doesn't matter how many times you ask, he can only tell you what he knows. They sell sim free phones, not voda branded phones. It's your job to test it as soon as you've bought it.
If I go into a shop and ask a question about an electronic item I will accept their answer, do my research on the net and buy the product. If it turns out the information is incorrect I will return it.
If you had used google as I suggested in my very first post you would have found that there is a way to get voda live fully working on your phone.
