HOWTO: Hoary and Nokia Phones via Bluetooth

[globalspace]

This how to is tested with Hoary and Nokia 6630 and a Dongle Bluetooth (Usb Bluetooth)

With this How To you could :

- Send Files via Bluetooth from your Pc to your Nokia Phone
- Send Files via Bluetooth from your Nokia Phone to your Pc
- Do everything you want with Bluetooth :-P

Let's Start


- Open Synaptics

sudo synaptic

- Install this packages and their dependences

gnome-bluetooth
obexserver
bluez-utils


- Load this modules into the kernel : l2cap, rfcomm

sudo modprobe l2cap
sudo modprobe rfcomm

- Create the new device of the Dongle. We create a virtual bind from the Usb to the Serial Device

sudo mknod /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0

- Activate the Bluetooth in your Phone . For the Nokia 6630 :

Menu -> Connect. -> Bluetooth -> On
Menu -> Connect. -> Bluetooth -> My phone's visibility -> Shown to all
Menu -> Connect. -> Bluetooth -> My Phone's Name -> "Insert a name for your phone"

- Scan for your phone

hcitool scan
This utils will scan the devices's Bluetooth ... it'll show something like this :

Scanning ...
00:11:9F:C0:FE:21 YOUR_PHONE_NAME

The first number is your Phone's Address. Obviously yours will be different ! :)
Copy your Address on a post-it !

- Edit your /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

Cancell all and insert this :

rfcomm0 {

device ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PHONE;
channel 10;
comment "What you want ;)";

}

In ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PHONE you must insert the Address wich you have write in the Post it :)
For example :

rfcomm0 {

device 00:11:9F:C0:FE:21;
channel 10;
comment "My Nokia Phone";

}

- Add the Nokia Channel (10) to communicate with your phone

sudo sdptool add --channel=10 OPUSH

- Do the binding

sudo rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PHONE 10

for example : rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 00:11:9F:C0:FE:21 10

- Now we can test the connectivity

To Send from the PC to your Nokia Phone
gnome-obex-send filename
for example
gnome-obex-send /home/massi/Desktop/Video.3gp
It'll show a prompt with the Bluetooth Device. Select your Phone and Click OK.

To Send from Your Nokia Phone to your PC
Activate the ObexServer on your PC to accept connections from other Bluetooth Devices :
obexserver
Go to your Gallery of the Phone and do Send file with Bluetooth. For Nokia 6630 :
Menu -> Gallery -> Images -> NamePhoto.jpg -> Options -> Send -> Via Bluetooth
and Select your Pc and click SELECT
You can find your files into the temp directory /tmp/

Tips

This works perfectly on Nokia 6630 but i think it could works on ALL Nokia Phone with Bluetooth because we use the Channel number 10 which is the default channel of all Nokia Phone.
I think also that if you know the channel number of your Phones which isn't Nokia you could replace in the How To and it could works !

Everytime that you reboot you must re apply this things (which you could insert into a boot-script)
modprobe l2cap
sudo modprobe rfcomm
sudo mknod /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0
sdptool add --channel=10 OPUSH
sudo rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 YOUR_PHONE_ADDRESS 10

Have Fun Ubuntu's user !!!

[rwabel]

you are my hero!! now bluetooth is finally working for me.
I've a sony ericsson T610 and channel 10 works also for me. By default it was set to 1. I've no idea what channel means what. If someone knows, it would be great to le me know

in rfcomm.conf you could also set bind to yes, maybe this would make some commands obsolete. Unfortunately I know barely nothing about bluetooth and linux.
it looks like that for me now
rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
# # Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:0E:07:D3:B0:08;
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 10;
# # Description of the connection
comment "My T610";
}

i'm very happy for you !
glad that my how to is profit :-P

[derrick1985]

Thanks man, I was FINALLY able to get my motorola V551 to transer files! (now, if I could only get my webcam working i'd get completely rid of windows)

For anybody with a Motorola one, here is what you have to do:

First, go into your menu (middle button) connections---Bluetooth---setup

Turn on Bluetooth. Turn on "Find Me" (nokia reference shown to all)

Follow tutorial from hcitool down to sending/receiving files.

To be able to send files from your phone, you will first have to send a file to it. Why? Motorola has to be able to have a connection in the list in order to send files from it, and since we can't manually add one, we have to give one to the phone. Start up a file transfer of a file (any file) and then as soon as transfer starts, cancel it. There, our phone now has the neccessary settings to send files.

My example, I took some pictures. Lets get my pictures. Goto settings--- Multimedia---Pictures. Select a picture you want to send to your PC. Highlight it and press the middle button. A bunch of options are shown, scroll down to MOVE. The name of your computer that you sent a file to your phone from, will be listed. MAKE SURE OBEXSERVER is on, and you can transfer files no problem. Same things goes with recorded sounds and videos.

NOTE: Unlike windows, we cannot copy and paste more than one file at a time. (unless someone knows how) because after one files transfers, obexserver shuts down, so you have to reopen it everytime.

Anyone know how to keep obexserver on all the time, please post it here, it is REALLY frustrating.

i think you could run at startup like all the command ... ;)

[derrick1985]

No, I mean when I type obexserver to receive a file, it receives it and then the program shuts down. I have to turn it on everytime to receive a file.

try to use

gnome-obex-server

let me know ;-)

[derrick1985]

Better, but still a no go. Every time my computer receives a file now, it asks to save it, and that interfers on the continuous transfer. The good news is i don't have to continuously start obexserver after every upload.

Oh yeah, and gnome-obex-server now saves the files in my home directory, that's another plus.

[andreasDK]

When my 6600 finds my PC it asks for a code.

Hence everything I type is in asterixes i cannot spell my user/root code.

Does anyone know of a solution to this?

[nullzero]

worked like a charm for me!
thx a lot man!
Keep up the good brain use :D

i think is going to paring the devices ... try to set a number .. like "1" and then type it in cell ... or try to set the default code of nokia phone "12345"

[bk452]

What's the purpose of doing this? What do you do with it?

[derrick1985]

What's the purpose of doing this? What do you do with it?
This allows you to transfer files to and from your phone. Ex. I have a camera phone, and I usually want a copy of the pictures on the phone stored on my pc, so I use Bluetooth to transfar the files to my computer.

I have the same problem when trying to synchronize my contacts with the pc. I dont know what to type and it doesnt give me access.

Im assuming this happens to you when you are trying to put the pc into the trusted list of the bluetooth devices on your phone? ( because I have the 7610 Nokia and it does that when Im trying to do what I said )

Are there any other good bluetooth applications? I cant find much things with synaptic ](*,)

dear globalspace,

seems you have already done the world a great service with that how to - well done!!
problem is, it doesn't work for me :-(

on hcitool scan I get:

Device is not available: Success

lsusb shows:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

lsmod shows:

TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0

nada, niente, nic, zilch aaaargh!

I think I must be missing something EXTREMELY obvious so forgive if this is a stoopid question - I've searched through nearly every google post for hours now about rfcomm.config, hcitool etc. etc. and I can't seem to find out why - I have a Cambridge dongle with a Nokia 6230 which works no probs in windoze but I really want to be linux self-sufficient and not have to load windoze all the time in order to transfer files...

if you can, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease heelp!!!

well i think the problem is very simple ... mmmm
so, sorry for my stupid questions :)

1. Have you enabled the Bluetooth on Nokia Phone ?
2. Did you set the visibility of your Nokia Phone (in the bluetooth menu) .. sorry i don't know the english menu .. i think its name is Visibility ... you must set it to All...

thank you for your patience in answering my long message. yes, bluetooth is enabled in the phone and visible to all (and works when I switch my removable hard disk to windows xp).

Thank you! I have finally found the answer - and yes, it was stupid. the phone was enabled and visible to all - but I had the dongle in my usb hub and not directly in a usb port - it's working now!!! all my best wishes to you...

Hello!

Thanx for this howto, it helps me sending files from my pc to my mobile.
But......
In Warty, I had a nice GUI for sending files to my mobile. I was able to right klick the files in Nautilus, and choose "send via bluetooth". How is this possible in Hoary??

My second trouble with this howto, is that I am not able to send files to my pc.
When inputing "obexserver" in the terminal, I just ge a message in the terminal showing "Waiting for connection". When trying to send from my mobile, I get an error message on my mobile, saying "Did not find any units to conect to" "sending failed"
My mobile is an Nokia 6230, and I use a blutooth-dongle.
Everything worked fine in Warty, whats the difference in Hoary?
This problem is really starting to bug me.... ](*,)

Hope that someone is able to provide a working solution for me??

Brgds
Lasse

[zupermanz]

Thanks allot !!!!!!!!!!
It really works!
Is there a gui to sent files to nokia or do i have to do it allways from the console

[globalspace]

Thanks allot !!!!!!!!!!

you can add the gnome-obex-send application in the list of the Open With ...
Click Right -> Open With -> Another Application

insert gnome-obex-send

pay attention that it modify the default application of Open With so adjust it with : right click -> properties -> select the default application

ps. i think you can add a simply script in nautilus but sorry i don't know how create script .. try google ;)

[zupermanz]

Thanks!!!
I hope it works with kubuntu

[djp]

Would this howto be usable with the Sony Ericsson K700i? Also, would implementing the this advice (http://www.hentges.net/misc/k700i/) after following the howto described here work?

[derrick1985]

Should. Give it a try and see what happens.

[djp]

Should. Give it a try and see what happens.

Apparantly installing gnome-bluetooth adds a "Send via Bluetooth" entry into the context menu of nautilus.

[djp]

Right. Have followed the howto and have managed to transfer files from my PC to my mobile phone (K700i). However, if i try and send a file the other way (from my phone to my PC), I get a connection failed error. I have added my PC to my phones devices and entered the passcode of 1234 which it seems to accept. I have checked the status of my PC listing on my phone and object push is the only service that appears as supported. Is that correct? Any help in getting the phone to send to my PC would be most appreciated. djp

[kb00heda]

Thanks --- your (globalspace) howto worked nicely on my Acer Ferrari 3000 laptop with a Motorola V525 cell phone!

[derrick1985]

Hey all, I made a HOWTO for sending files without having to go through the terminal.

thnx dude really nice job it works super :D

I have the same problem as djp, it works great. Except I can't send files from the phone to the PC. The phone can't find/pair with the PC at all. Any clues? Its a Samsung D500

[davidpronk]

Thanks for the HOWTO.
I also managed to setup Bluetooth in Hoary and even find my Nokia 6820. But from my phone I can't find my PC. It appears to be invisible. And I would really like to be able to send files from my phone to my PC. And i did start the obexserver when I tried to find my PC.

[Simplesso]

Hi .... sorry for my english :) ..... i'am italian

I've a problem... i downloaded Phone Manager for receive and send Sms by my notebook....but it works only the first time... after.... it can't connect :(
i try... but i not find the problem...

However the phone can send and receive file...

Help me !

Thanks !!!

[lotech]

I am an Ubuntu newbie and I used Knoppix for internet, there is build in support for bluetooth dongle, I simply search for my phone and then create a connection to it, then I can connect to the internet like using dial up, is there a simple way in Ubuntu to setup bluetooth purely for connect to the internet if I don't need the file transfer.

Thanks !

[tealc_sg1]

Works perfectly with my NOKIA 6670, Thanks !

[nwillis]

Alirght, I need help, this doesn't work for me. I have a Nokia 6620, it's visible to the PC and vice versa. I try to send a file from the phone's "Gallery" application and select the PC from the list of devices, then it says "Connecting" for about a minute then reports Unable To Connect.

MEANWHILE on the PC side, gnome-obex-server is live; when I start the send on the phone side, a "conn_request: bdaddr 00:02:etcetera" message pops into the terminal window, followed by "conn_complete: status 0x00" ... but nothing happens.

What does this mean?

This worked out-of-the-box on Fedora with identical hardware; what's different?

[denkedran]

For all those who have problems connecting from phone to pc.
I found this at google http://www.ubuntu-de.org/wiki/mobil:bluetooth_einrichten.
Because it is german I'll explain the essential parts.
If your Phone doesn't find the pc's bluetooth device try this:
sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
search for
# Local device class
class 0x100;
change to
# Local device class
class 0x100100;
after that you have to restart the bluetooth service and pray
sudo /etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart
i hope this while help a bit

I have still one question:
Is it somehow possible to send a m3u playlist to my Nokia 6230. In other words is it possible to specify a pathname at for other end.

[nwillis]

Hmm. I'll have to try it.

As for sending any particular file, there is a Symbian Series60 application called "Forward" that I use -- with it you can open any message and save the file to anywhere in the filesystem. That sounds like it will do what you want.

Assuming you're running S60, anyway. I found it here: http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~ashley/

[miatapaul]

Has anyone been able to access the GPS info in order to use the phone as a GPS receiver? I don't have a buetooth phone now, but will be upgrading soon. Or is this something better suited to a usb connection?

[denkedran]

Assuming you're running S60, anyway. I found it here: http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~ashley/

Nate

My Nokia 6230 runs with Symbian Series 40. So I cant use that piece of software. But I made a nautilus-script solution with gammu (gammu --nokiaaddfile Playlist <file>) and fapg (Fast Audio Playlist Generator). Now I can fill my 1 GB mmc, with music in subfolders.

[Heliode]

Hey, thanks for the howto! Sending stuff to mobile phones and PDA's works great, but if I try to send stuff from those devices to my laptop, the phones ask for a password. Where do I set this? It won't connect without it.

[souraka]

hello all
this how to is fantastic helps a lot.
but i have 1 problem i can't resolved
1/ i can not send big files like mp3 it started to send it but stop and nothing happend so it is unable to send all the file !! why??

thanks for your help

I got a Samsung E720.

Anyone have any success getting Samsung phones working on ubuntu/bluetooth?

I really need to work with ubuntu - an such things driving me frustrated, because i will never want to switch to xp exept for playing games. Fact ist that windows is destroying my hardware. Therefor i am angry about that software pushing my RAM's to glow and never stop itching on the harddrive.
I would be glad and satisfied if everything works for me in ubuntu - and not that i have to work for it and it still doesn't work. I am not that educated on this things, but i am ready to learn from you. google brought no success for my specific problem.
peaceful greetings from austria!

[rstana]

i got stuck on step where you issue:

hcitool scan

it starts looking for phone (Nokia 6230) but finds nothing and times-out after a while, making me helpless

what do I need to do? thanks for help here

[kombipom]

Thanks for the How-To, I've now got my P800 and Ubuntu talking to each other, the only change I had to make was to use channel 1 rather than 10. I am however having the same problem that souraka reported with large files (mp3's). The phone tells me that the connection was severed by the other device. Is there a max transfer time in a config file somewhere which can be adjusted?

[dinap1]

Hi!
I did everything th 1st post says. at the point where i wrote

"sudo mknod /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0"

it gave me this error message:

"mknod: `/dev/rfcomm0': File already exists"

But i continued. when i tried to send a jpg picture from my 6260 phone, on the phone screen appeared

"sending falied"

although before it found my computer's name when it was searching fot BT devices.
Any ideas please?

Nokia 6260, usb BT dongle: Omnuis, Ubuntu 5.0.4.
Thanx!

[ramesh_thiru]

Thanks, at last now I can connect to my Nokia 6600, but still I'm not able to use GPRS... I searced everywhere how I could, and I didn't find luck :| any help?

[stuoolong]

Hi, I'm a complete newbie! Looking forward to spending quite a bit of time here...

This howto worked great for me, as did the one by Derrick1985 on setting up Gnome scripts. The only problem is that it won't transfer files with a space in the name...there's probably a really simple solution but I can't work it out. Nearly all of my music files have a space in the name somewhere, so short of changing all the names I can't really transfer them to the phone. :???: No problem getting pics from the phone to the PC though! I'm using a Motorola V3, used channel 10.:D

[bladesonfire]

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with an integrated bluetooth device and a Sony Ericsson K750i. The device is detected correctly, but when I run "hcitool scan", it doesn't work for me.

$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
$

My "hciconfig" output:

hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:10:C6:50:CC:8F ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8

TX bytes:318 acl:0 sco:0 commands:15 errors:0

I have another machine running Windows XP with a bluetooth dongle installed that has connected to the phone as we speak and transfered files to my phone. When I scan with the phone, it finds the WinXP machine, but not the laptop.

I'd prefer not to attach the bluetooth dongle to my laptop, since that was the whole point of getting integrated bluetooth in the first place.

Any suggestions, please? Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the howto! Sending stuff to mobile phones and PDA's works great, but if I try to send stuff from those devices to my laptop, the phones ask for a password. Where do I set this? It won't connect without it.
It asks for the bluetooth PIN.
For the PC side it is usually stored in:
/etc/bluetooth/pin

Here's my experience with a Sony Ericsson K700i and a Belkin Bluetooth dongle...

First things first - I'm new to Ubuntu having run mainly on SuSE since 2001 with odd flirtations with various Red Hats, so it took a while for me to figure out that I had to un-comment some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list so that I could apt-get install some of the packages I needed...:)

Secondly, I had already tested the hardware on another box running SuSE 9.0, so that I knew it worked OK - this was also handy because I knew the things that I had had to tweak in order to get things working OK under SuSE.

Anyway, this is how I got things working with Ubuntu. I basically followed the contents of this HOWTO but also did the following...

* As was suggested in this thread I edited /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf adding the line "bind yes;" - this seemed to cure the phone hanging after sending a file - it would report back "Bluetooth is currently busy" or similar, and Bluetooth could not be stopped, the phone had to be shut off first.
* As per an earlier post I edited /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf # Local device class to show class 0x100100;
* I also edited /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf to un-comment the line auth enable; under # Authentication and Encryption. I did this as a precaution because this was one of the tweaks that this hardware combination needed under SuSE

Thanks to everyone for posting ideas and suggestions - this was driving me crazy knowing that the damn thing worked under SuSE but not Ubuntu... :D

Hello, I think the article is excellent. However what i want is connecting to internet through GPRS with my Bluetooth connected phone Nokia 6230.

So far, i can pair the phone and my computer. So Bluetooth is working.
But i am stuck at the next step. Theres a program called Easy GPRS connector for linux but it is somehow not working for me.

I am looking for a solution, please help.

Note: Windows is capable of doing that with this machine and my phone without any extras. So i know my hardware is ok for GPRS.

Hello, I think the article is excellent. However what i want is connecting to internet through GPRS with my Bluetooth connected phone Nokia 6230.

Have a look at this site:

[mokeyjoe]

I'm trying to connect a 6680 to Ubuntu Hoary but by using the USB lead, not Bluetooth. Would the procedure be similar to this? All I really want to do is transfer files between the phone and PC.

[Tom^]

So is there any way to sync my evolution with 6630? Even if I have to compile stuff, is there a way? All I have are dead ends and I'm disappointed. :( Thank you for your answers!

[rwabel]

everything is working fine. I can find my phone and my phone finds my ubuntu box and I can pair it. But whenever I want to send a file from my phone to my ubuntu box I get "connection failed". I've started the gnome-obex-server!

[NicP]

It asks for the bluetooth PIN.
For the PC side it is usually stored in:
/etc/bluetooth/pin

my pin file is set as 1234, however when i put this in it still says passcode failed, i also tried changing it to 1, and 1111, with the same result. any ideas?

[ranf]

What program do you run on the PC side?

[NicP]

What program do you run on the PC side?

I installed gnome-bluetooth and gnome-phone-manager from synaptic (and dependancies). The phone came up in the bluetooth manager straight away. I also tried following the procedure at the beginning of this thread and got exactly the same result, it just rejects the passcode.

[rwabel]

Right. Have followed the howto and have managed to transfer files from my PC to my mobile phone (K700i). However, if i try and send a file the other way (from my phone to my PC), I get a connection failed error. I have added my PC to my phones devices and entered the passcode of 1234 which it seems to accept. I have checked the status of my PC listing on my phone and object push is the only service that appears as supported. Is that correct? Any help in getting the phone to send to my PC would be most appreciated. djp

same problem here. I can bind my computer with my phone. I can send from computer to phone. but I cannot send from phone to computer!

[Eldan]

Excelent Howto, thank you so much for taking the time to put the word out.

Everything worked 100% as you documented, except for one step. For some reason I was not able to send from my Nokia 6600 to my Linux box until after I rebooted. Although I am sure I probably could have restarted the obex server for the same results. I had used obexserver and gnome-obex-server commands, possibly some conflict arose there.

Ubuntu rocks! This has been the simplest, best documented Linux varient I have tried yet. Everything just works! =D>

[freyro]

Excellant post this is. Worked like a charm for me on my Dell D505 - difference is I have an on motherboard bluetooth device and hence my connection string was a bit longer is:

/sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1d.0/usb1/1-2/1-2\:1.0/

but not:

/dev/rfcomm0

(unless I've overlooked something big time) The above /sys/dev... being the usb.linux.sysfs_path param (available from Device Manager).

Thanks -

Hi

I have a little problem
I'm not able to transfer big files to my phone (nokia 6230), I think it's because it stores the file in the phone memory, but when a file is bigger than the phone memory, the transfer fails.
I would like to send files directly to the mmc card.
Is there any way to transfer sets of files at the same time?

Finally, would it be possible to mount (or something like this) the phone in order to grafically explore it?


Greetings from Spain

----------EDIT------------

I've read something about btfs, what about it?

[tomwell]

Hey,

Does anyone feel that bluetooth integration in Breezy is appalling and that it should be made into easy GUI program for the next release??

I mean i am not even going to bother using bluetooth support in linux if i have to restart everytime i send a file...!!!

Easier to reboot into windows and use the nokia software... and transfer into FAT32...

Just a thought...

Peace

Tom

[tomwell]

Oh and before anyone has a go at me...

I have set bluetooth up and it works fine i dont have any problems with at all expet the ease of use...!!!

Peace

Tom

I also have an internal bluetooth device, I had no problems following this how-to to use an external USB bluetooth dongle.. but the internal one doesn't work.. I don't even find it with

matteo@ubuntu:~$ sudo hcitool dev

How do I use device manager to discover my internal bluetooth device address??
Thanks

[brunog]

Thank you for the effort put into this post.
It helped me set up my Nokia 8620 to send and receive files from my PC running Ubuntu Breezy (5.10).
I would like to report that I have also maneged to get connected to the internet via my bluetooth connection to my phone and GPRS.

Setting up my phone accoring to this post enabled my to send and receive files to and from my phone.
I could not access the internet though.
Each time I wanted to connect my phone requested a password for pairing.
1st problem: My phone wanted to pair with "Brunog Home" my home PC name. This was the name already on my phone due to being pared in Windows.
After deleting this paring from my phone, my phone found my PC as "ubuntu-0"
When I had a password problem - phone requesting password for pairing - the one that worked for me was "1234".
There has been advice about resetting passwords, I tried this first - no need to reset password

Pairing done.

I also followed advice in this post regarding change of # Local device class to class 0x100100 through sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf.
I believe this assisted my phone in seeing my PC.

All this and I still could not connect to internet.

My greatest source of info was this post and one done by GrootBrak : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50496

He used port 1 for his phone, whereas this post suggests port 10.
After trying 100 things I decided to also use port 1 rather than 10. For whatever reason this seemed to work.
So it seems that port 10 is not the only one to be used with Nokia phones??

Hopes this feedback helps someone out there. :)

Now if I can only get my winmodem to work (been trying for 3 months....) I will be in heaven....:p

I whish you all a wonderful new year in 2006

When my 6600 finds my PC it asks for a code.
Hence everything I type is in asterixes i cannot spell my user/root code.
Does anyone know of a solution to this?

not your NIP?

[edit(s)]
oh i see. same problem here since i made the mistake to reboot and try nokia pc suite.
now under ubuntu i still can send & receive files, but each time i try to 'connect' to pc from phone there's this boring passwd that doesn't match the /etc/bluetooth/pin :-/
i did not have this problem before installing & trying nokia pc suite under win32. maybe a phone config change?
also tried 'gnome-phone-manager'. looks good but i have the same pb : 'connection' between pc & phone is ok, but i'm asked for the passwd to 'link' them.


i'd really like someone to help made the phone use home internet connection 'via' bluetooth
found something for pda here (in french but cmd line is universal ;)) (http://www.melaneum.com/linux/bluetooth.html) but 6230i does not seem to offer enough flexibility to be configured this way.
any tip welcomed!

this one looks good for bluetooth internet access, but it's for laptop : http://fedoranews.org/.../bluetooth (http://fedoranews.org/contributors/muhammad_al_ismail/bluetooth/)

found something at operamini forums but don't really understand what to do/how to do :
U mean like using OM as a browser on the phone which is connected via bluetooth to PC which has internet access? It's very easy - U don't have to change anything on the phone.
1. Get the SE J2ME SDK
2. Set up the serial connection with the phone using bth
3. Use ConnectionProxy from seJ2MEsdk - make connection with the phone
4. Use DeviceExplorer from the sdk - fire it up
5. In DeviceExplorer, choose File -> Serial Networking (turn on)
6. On the left U have the list of apps installed on the phone - choose Opera Mini, right click and Start
7. Enjoy using Opera Mini arround the house ;>

sent a mail to nokia for internet bluetooth purpose. i'm not expecting any answer but at least they know some users request this. asked them if there were any 'phone profile' to be applied on the phone to have more functions available.

[lateo]

nokia france answer :
"En réponse à votre courriel, je vous informe que le 6230i ne peut bénéficier de connexion en IP Passthrough, permettant d'utiliser le mobile comme navigateur Web en connexion à un PC. De plus, nous ne développons aucun pilote / logiciel sous Linux, mais uniquement sous WIndows."

my fast (and quite bad) translation :
6230i cannot use IP Passthrough connection in order to surf the web from your phone using PC's internet connection. Anyway, we're only looking for windows, we do not work on linux drivers & utilities.

doh. had to try :-/

[warpforge]

I've posted an updated guide to this:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BluetoothDialup

[pnk]

Someone asked for a script which would recieve files automaticly and put it in the home directory so I put together a real simple script to show you. The script doesn't care about overwriting existing files so you might consider adding a little while loop to change the name while there are exact matching filenames. What I think is the coolest is that this will put the files directly on the Desktop in Ubuntu.

Open your favourite editor and save the following script as bluetooth.sh

#!/bin/sh

# Real simple script to keep obexserver running
# eirik.hjelle@gmail.com wed 10.mai 06 12:51

# Configuration
UPLOADDIR=~/Desktop

while [ 1 ]; do
TEMPFILENAME=`obexserver | grep tmp | awk '{ print $2 }'`
mv $TEMPFILENAME $UPLOADDIR
sleep 1
done


Then execute the following command to make it an executable file.

chmod a+x bluetooth.sh


Set up all your bluetooth settings as explained in the tutorial and run the following command. The ending & puts it in the background.

./bluetooth.sh &

[Raavea]

Is there a way to get this to work in Breezy with an NEC e616V (3g phone) ??


When I do 'hcitool scan' it says 'Device is not available: No such device' o.O
I made the phone discoverable. Whats goin wrong?

[JoNas-fr]

Your HOWTO is so nice! It works perfectly on my Nokia 6230 ans Ubuntu 5.10.

But I still have a problem : how can I install .jar files (java apps) on it? Under windows I used "Nokia pc suite" and it works. When I send a .jar files under ubuntu, my nokia receive it but did'nt recognize his file type.

PS: Sorry for my pretty bad english :D

[roland67]

Absolutely fantastic. Worked like a charm for my NOKIA 6820.
Thanks!

[vivtho]

Hence everything I type is in asterixes i cannot spell my user/root code.

Does anyone know of a solution to this?

You don't need to type in your Ubuntu password. Type in any number (usually limited to four digits). You should then get a prompt on your monitor asking you to type in a code. Just type the same number and hit enter... That should do it.

The same procedure worked on my 7710.

[mostwanted]

Thank you! Worked great, just transfered a jpg from my PC to my Samsung phone. I tried doing it the other way though, and my phone wouldn't recognise my PC properly (it saw the bluetooth signal, but when I tried connecting I got an error). Gonna check this out some more. At least it works one-way for now! :)

[QkEterror]

The same procedure worked on my 7710.

I have a 7710 too. Can you pair your phone with Ubuntu? When I let my phone try to pair with Ubuntu nothing pops up to ask for a code. The phone says pairing failed.

By the way. Are you able to sync your 7710 through bluetooth with evolution?

[clauguia]

It worked not only to send to/from my nokia 6230 but to send files to/from my palm as well!!! :-O Goodbye cables! :-)

(I know some people prefer to make a sync with palm, but sometimes you want just to move a file and i liked drive mode a lot, but it works only with craddle/cable thing. This way i have my "drive mode" with bluetooth, at least to rapidely move a file to and fro)

My /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf file reads like this:

#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#


rfcomm0 {
# bind yes;
# # Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:11:9F:61:9C:80;
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 10;
# # Description of the connection
comment "Fone Nokia 6230";

}

rfcomm1 {
# bind yes;
# # Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:07:E0:8F:04:02;
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 10;
# # Description of the connection
comment "Palm T5";

}


Whats the "bind" thing?

Unfortunately, when i try gnome-obex-server it returns:

** (gnome-obex-server:27500): WARNING **: OBEX server register error: -1

** (gnome-obex-server:27500): WARNING **: Unable to initialize OBEX source

** (gnome-obex-server:27500): WARNING **: Couldn't initialise OBEX listener


So, still obexserver to me... :-(

[Cris987]

I have a Sony Ericsson T610 and it fails to detect my computer w/ Ubuntu Dapper. I followed this guide, but when I got to "hcitool scan", I received a response of "Device is not available: No such device". Would someone like to help me out ?

[ingwarzeph]

You are an absolute peach :p

Just following the first post I was able to send and receive files on my Sony-Ericsson K608i without any problem at all. =D>

[DanielTJ]

Thanks globalspace, it was one of the important things for me to use windows for. do you think that calender sync is also possible anytime soon? is anybody busy with it?
and im really curious: how could you do this? what did you read?
thanks again.=D>

Tks.

Thanks for the tutorial globalspace !

It worked great in my Dapper :)

Way cool!

[Mrs Harris]

Superb... works like a dream with Dapper, my bluetooth dongle and SE p910... thanks muchly :)

[LKRaider]

Thank you very much for this HowTo!

I too was having problems sending Phone -> PC, all the while PC -> Phone worked fine.

My phone is a LG MG320c (aka. KG320) and it uses the channel 9 for file transfers. You can find the channel used by your phone with this command (replace with your phone address):
sdptool records 00:05:C9:32:9F:91
then look for the OBEX File Transfer channel.

It still wasn't working for me, but then I finally figured out that my phone needed the FTP service on channel 9 instead of OPUSH, so I enabled the service:
sdptool add --channel=9 FTP

I also needed to enable authentication at the end of the file /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf :
# Authentication and Encryption (Security Mode 3)
auth enable;
#encrypt enable;

And now it works! :D

[pyrforos]

i can see that the phone is trying to pair *( the bluetooth icon doesn't flashes) but i get this
Connecting...failed: connect
Still trying to connect
Connecting...failed: connect
Still trying to connect
Connecting...failed: connect
Still trying to connect

heeelpppp

[mpneerkaje]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! it works really great for me in ubuntu 64-bit!
Though i had to struggle lil-bit as the library libopenobex-1.0-0 and obexserver for 64 bit were not available in the repository. i did some google search to fix this.
Other than that, everything worked amazingly superb! I'm very happy.
Thanks a lot once again.

[savethewabbit]

hi, i'm trying to follow your guide but i'm already having a problem installing the packages. i can't get obexserver, here's the error i get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
obexserver: Depends: libopenobex-1.0-0 (>= 1.0.0-rel) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


any idea how to move around that and install obexserver? thanks.

Somebody thinks that blutooth communication with phone is not for Ubuntu. This is completly wrong. I found severel here where this type help available.

After i bought a Sagem x700 without a data cable. I thought i cann't able to use internet with 3G/EDGE network. But i find a great help on Ubuntu-help.co.cc (http://Ubuntu-help.co.cc).

If you need youcan visit this link (http://ubuntu-help.co.cc/index.php/ubuntu-help/35-internet/45-connecting-internet-through-mobile-phone).
