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.

  • Samsung Convoy 3 bluetooth connection problem

    I am having connection issues with my Samsung Convoy 3 phone and Jabra Drive bluetooth.  Initially the phone and device paired and connected great.  I could leave the car and reconnect to the bluetooth with out an issue.  Recently though, I have turned on the phone bluetooth then the Jabra Drive and they do not connect.  I finally get them to connect after playing with different combinations of connecting on the phone and turning off and on the Jabra Drive.  Although, it is not consistent on what combinations work.  I have had to turn off the Convoy 3 and turn it back on if there was still a connection failure.  Today, I had to turn the phone off and back on after the bluetooth functions were totally unavailable on the Convoy 3.  Are other people having bluetooth connection issues with the Samsung Convoy 3?  Is there a solution to this issue?

    I have had the unit for just over 2 months and started having the issue about a month ago.  Also, there is something new whick occured.  When in the bluetooth menu on the phone trying to reconnect, the phone froze and rebooted (turned off and back on) by itsself.  I have not tried the phone with a bluetooth headset since I do not currently have one - I would only use one in my car so I opted for an in car unit.  My father has the same phone with the Jabra Drive unit and is experiencing the same problem.  Other people I know are using the Jabra Drive and do not seem to be having this same issue with their phone and bluetooth unit.  In the mean time, I will try to locate a bluetooth headset and see what happens.

  • Connecting Tungsten E2 to a Samsung T629 via Bluetooth

    Hello.  I'm having some troubles connecting my phone (a Samsung t629) to my palm (Tungsten E2).  Basically what i want to establish from this connection is being able to text from my palm.  I would like the full keyboard and pen feature instead of t9.  If i need anymore apps or how to establish this connection, much help is appreciated.  I have already got a bluetooth connection between the two, but when ever i try to, say "dial" someone on my palm, my phone says "DUN connection with palm"? and i click yes on my samsung. and it ouputs the following on my palm.
    "The phone was unable to handle your request.
    Please make sure you are using the right driver for your phone"
    Does this mean i am unable to do anything with my phone?

  • MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting

    Hello all,
    I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro, it simply connects and promptly disconnects. I have tried shut down, restart, and even unplugging the battery on the MacBook with no luck.
    I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Same here I'm using a Samsung HW-H550 Sound Bar - Connect's with iPhone/iPad on IOS 7.1.1 on my Mac Book Pro Retina OS X 10.9.3. Having no joy even went down the root of deleting the Bluetooth Pref file  didn't work either.
    Looking forward to any workable solution

  • Bluetooth connection with Samsung u740 not working quite right?

    I have a new Samsung u740 cell phone and I set it up to sync my contacts b/w the computer and the phone. I also set it up so when someone calls me it pops up on my computer who's calling, but when someone calls it just says "unknown caller". I have synced the contacts on both devices. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
    Thanks Taylor

    With your bluetooth connection does your computer allow you to answer the calls? I am currently working on the same issue but with same problems.

  • Bluetooth OPP Help - Samsung A640 Phone

    Hey everyone. I recently bought a phone from sprint, a Samsung A640, which is a bluetooth phone. I even more recently got an iMac, which also has bluetooth. Now, when I try and sync the phone with the computer(namely my address book), something odd happens. If I initiate the bluetooth connection(Object Push Profile) from my phone, I can copy the address book files TO my Mac. But when I initiate it from the Mac, it says it transfers on the phone and computer, but when I look under my address book on my phone, nothing more is there than before the transfer. If anyone has any experience on the matter, I would appreciate it. I also know that supposedly, you can look at your calls, and make them, through(I believe) address book. I don't know if my phone is compatible with that feature, but if you have it, let me know what you do!
    Thanks
    Max

    This, I'm afraid, is not a Mac solution, but it does seem to work. Using Parallels, a USB cable that I bought on eBay, and Windows, I was able to follow the steps shown here: http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/983423-1.html
    I haven't tried it for photos yet, but it did work for moving a midi file for use as a ringtone. Other Bell SPH-a640 users in the thread say it works for them. I tried doing it with the Mac version of Bitpim, but this would only recognize the bluetooth port; it said the USB port was closed. It would not allow the transfer of data over the bluetooth port. It's a clunky method, but it does defeat Bell's attempt to prevent us from using our cell phones more fully.

  • I have macair bought 2009. Bluetooth connect with mouse and keypad not working. It used to work. Batteries are good. Green light flashes on each device, but no connection. Any suggestions to help me here? Thanks.

    Dear Community,
    I have a macbook air bought new in 2009. Since 2011 I only use it occasionally as I  now mainly use my iMac. The mouse and keyboard that came with the macbook air used to work fine with bluetooth connection to the macbookair, but now they don't. The batteries are good. The green light flashes showing it is seeking other bluetooth device to connect to. But they wont connect to my macbookair. What could the problem be? Your help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for that. Yes I checked that already and BT enabled. Yes, external keyboard. But I just moved the computer to different part of room and bingo the devices paired and connected. So problem now solved. Thanks for offering your help.

  • Help on readubg .pdfs for Samsung SGH ZX20

    ...so I bought this beefed up phone, the Samsung SGH ZX20
    with the 1Gg microSD card and USB transfer cable and see I may be
    S.O.L. on one of my desires to view .pdf files directly upon my
    phone. My question before I rant in another direction is:
    Can I install FlashLite 2.0 upon my phone myself? Noticed
    only Verizon has capability offered across certain phones but I am
    locked into Cingular. Must I wait for Cingular and Samsung to
    integrate into some future firmware after more defined contractual
    agreements get made? Please don't say it is...
    Before trying anything on own and messing up anything, I
    thought I would explore my DIY ability to transfer and install such
    SW on my phone or find out if there is anything targeted for
    release with this phone. Eyeballing the Samsung product
    compatibility page under a link I pulled from this form only lists
    one freakin' model...the SCH-A950. I don't get the sense this page
    is updated too frequently so can someone upon this forum lend some
    kind assistance involving the SGH ZX20? Much oblidged!!!
    Time to now digress and rant about the feature holes of
    todays mobile technology...
    While I figured out things so I can convert and view my tech
    training videos to this phone, I seek some means to enable my
    viewing of .pdf files. Hoping for some means to see a rolling text
    of content. Don't care much about graphics or pretty fonts, just my
    ability to be more productive during the lull or down moments at or
    in between youth sporting events. Yes, I know the viewing on a
    small screen will be more limited but the mobility and extreme
    portability of 1 gadget versus many motivates me to walk along the
    bleeding edge until things are bundled in a way for a serious
    working professional seeking a life balance versus the crap that
    such resources are focussed upon now (i.e. games, music, etc.).
    Hope to see integrated eyewear around corner to better view
    such content that's tied to my present phone's memory.
    Hey, its great to make money off the teenage or the
    I_Never_Want2_Grow_Up market but how about some serious mobile
    applications too and make them more readily available? Geez, I got
    features like "controlled" shopping, IM, right on the top menu but
    NO ability to pick-n-choose my own menu choices along with their
    priority/hierarachy. Personally, alarms and schedules rate
    higher...
    Since Samsung does not appear to have a forum structured like
    this, I hope OEMs like them or service carriers may see my post
    here and be more ballast with what exiciting new features they
    envision are can start targeting to deploy within the
    marketplace...these providers would then capture my Quan and $$$.

  • I have a 2011 iMac 27" i7 and the bluetooth connected trackpad, keyboard, and mouse all go haywire after awhile. This just began today and cannot make the issue go away. Nothing was downloaded, no software updates, etc. please help!

    Oops, sorry, using my iPad for this. My iMac's Bluetooth-connected devices are going haywire after awhile of use. All three things--the trackpad, keyboard, and mouse--act up, especially the trackpad, by being overly sensitive and often just clicking and moving on its own. I've restarted the computer, I've swabbed batteries out of the devices, and nothing has worked so far in solving this issue. I downloaded Lion when it came out and had the update last week (I think), but today is the first day to experience this issue and nothing was downloaded today. I've been sending out a flurry of emails, but nothing else to hint at why this problem happened. Any ideas??

    Humm, thank you. I have my iPhone and iPad on the wireless network, and yeah--using the rechargable batteries. I'll try normal batteries and re-join the phone and get back to you. May take a day or so because the semester starts today. Thank you again.
