excuse me...ive been using bluetooth and pc suite for almost 6 months
without problems...
and u DO need Nokia Connection manager....if I disable that on mine THEN i
CANNOT access PC suite...
so please don't talk **** unless u use it....
no to get PC Suite to work a couple of things need to be in order....
1.. Installed Bluetooth First?
2. Paired Ngage and Bluetooth?
3. Installed Pc Suite Now on C Drive only and only on C Drive! dont tell me
why just do it...
If u said u can get pc transfer etc with bluetooth....well heres where ur
going wrong...its with Nokia Connection manager....
In Mrouter what is the Com port that is ticked?...note that down...
Double-click Nokia Connection Manager ...
Notice and click the left icon (yellow icon with a serial plug)...all other
icons should be OFF
A window with a com port selection will come up....now make sure its the
same as the com port u noted down before....its probably not thats why this
problem exists...assign it...
ie..Nokia Connection manager MUST know the com port too....in order for PC
Suite to connect to ur bluetooth device...NKM is resposible for that...those
that have disabled or have taken out nokia connection manager....hello...put
it back in....
cheers
ps...the amount of stupidity in the symbian community is starting to bloody
amaze me...(and i've only been looking into it for the last 6 months)
oh and in case anyone hasn't told u yet or you were too lazy to read....dont
eva format your mmc card using ur ngage and xp format (unless u format it as
fat16)...ok...or ull lose ur usb functionality....
