I am on 9.04 using bitpim 1.0.6

Hello, I have been trying to get my Samsung Propel to work with Bluetooth and Bitpim. I have the phone connected to the laptop with Blueman, but I can't seem to connect with PIM.

I have the COM port set to /dev/rfcomm0. At first, I couldn't connect to this port because of a permission problem. I reset the permission, but the directory appears to be empty....

I tried following this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885765&highlight=bitpim+bluetooth) tutorial, but when I get to this part:
Now run
Code:


rfcomm connect 0 ##:##:##:##:##:## ??

where ?? is the channel number.

I get this:

kevin@kevin-laptop:~$ rfcomm connect 0 00:24:91:12:CC:9E 7
Can't connect RFCOMM socket: Connection refused
kevin@kevin-laptop:~$


As I said, the phone and the laptop are connected. I can browse files on the phone from the laptop and vise versa, but the command line pairing seems to fail.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

Did hcitool auth work for you? It looks like there is some kind of permission problem. I've also got problems when connecting to my phone via bluetooth.
