rule of thumb: the more effort it takes to get at least an idea how to solve, the more trivial the problem is ...

therefore: did you enable BT and set it to "visible"?

edit:

what do you get for

Code:
ps ax | grep bluetoothd
Code:
hciconfig
Code:
hcitool dev

(make sure to anonymize the MAC/BD Address before posting the output! that's the XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX string)

yes I switched on the visibility.

For the first command it gives me

/home/user # ps ax | grep bluetoohd
2178 root 2088 S grep bluetoohd

the second command gives me

/home/user # hciconfig
hci0: Type: UART
BD Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ACL MTU: 1017:4 SCO MTU: 64:1
DOWN
RX bytes:4054 acl:0 sco:0 events:105 errors:0
TX bytes:31592 acl:0 sco:0 commands:102 errors:0

and the third command gives me

/home/user # hcitool dev
Devices:

OK. so, next step is to ensure the partner devices are working. Do you have another phone or something that claims it can see your N900? It's much eaier trying to pair something else with a screen (for feedback), which KBs and headsets etc. don't have.

i have a galaxy tab and blackberry...both are not recognising the device.Visibility is set to on and when searching on the galaxy tab its able to recognise the blackberry.The N900 isnt able to recognise any devices too.

try
hciconfig hci0 up
and then
hciconfig hci0
check if your device "hci0" were UP or not.
dmesg | tail
then copy&paste&post messages to this thread.


I often use these commands when powering on my BT manually.
they're written on other maemo talk threads.it's worth to try them.
modprobe hci_h4p;
echo "00:11:22:33:44:55" > /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr;
modprobe -r hci_h4p;
modprobe hci_h4p;
bluetoothd;
hciconfig hci0 up;
then
hcitool scan

typo -- must be "bluetoothd"
you should see at least two lines of output -- one of bluetoothd itself and the second of your request.

something like this:

Code:
Nokia-N900-51-1:~# ps ax | grep bluetoothd
  940 root      3408 S    /usr/sbin/bluetoothd -n
 3357 root      4064 S    grep bluetoothd
Nokia-N900-51-1:~#

please, check if the module exists on your device and the firmware file:

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9560 2009-10-22 14:26 /lib/firmware/bcmfw.bin
