Hi,

I just recently bought a Samsung Katalyst for T-mobile, SGH-739. According to the Samsung Website, the phone supports the SPP bluetooth profile, which I believe means that it should be able to be recognized by a PC. Neither of my computer will recognize the phone however, using either updated Windows, Widcomm or Bluesoleil drivers. Admittedly, I am using an old bluetooth dongle (Broadcom GPU211).

- Is it possible the Katalyst is crippled not to interface with a PC? (The menu doesn't say anything about a SPP profile, only Headset and Headphones).

- Could my dongle somehow be out of date for the phone?

- Is there a setting I need to change on my computer (I have set it to recognize devices and be recognized by devices. I have no problem pairing the PC with a headset, or pairing the headset with the phone).

Thanks,

Gence

Hi Gence. I am having the same problem. I also cannot find or be found by my wife's phone. I called T-mobile and was told the phone is only able to connect to the profiles listed; Headset or handsfree. I don't understand why but suspect T-mobile is not allowing anything else so they can charge a fee for their WiFi service. Have you heard of any kind of work-around? I am also trying to find a way to get into my own WiFi network at home.
