Motorola RAZR on Bluetooth

[tpribors]

Hi,

I have hooked up my RAZR to my T60p on Bluetooth and get all of the services. In particular, I can retrieve pictures via the OBEX service.

When I try to hook up with my T42p at work, the Bluetooth that comes from IBM (small blue bluetooth icon on the task bar) finds the device after a long struggle through control panels. However, the Microsoft (I think) "My Bluetooth Neighborhood" on the desktop and the red on blue icon on the task bar are unable to see anything.

Furthermore, when I got through to the phone using the IBM/Lenovo driver, all it sees is the modem service. None of the other services show up.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'd like to get some pictures and try to use it as a calendar...

Thanks!

I would stick with the WIDCOMM drivers from IBM/Lenovo for the T42p. I have them working on my T43 and I can hook up to my Motorola RAZR just fine. All services recognized.

Try to un-install them, then re-install them via Software Installer without a reboot in between. Then reboot.

The Microsoft BT stack pales in comparison to the one that is meant to be on the Thinkpad. That and you have to manually create the virtual COM ports and assign the services by hand, usually, with the Microsoft BT drivers.

HTH

If all else fails, you could try BlueSoleil. You need to pay for it, but it makes configuring bluetooth devices a snap.

Things shouldn't fail if one works hard at it; why pay for something that should work in the first place?

The bad news is that I wasn't able to get the RAZR to do PIM stuff, so it's moot anyway.
