Are only Nokia phones compatible with the 770?

[airbillion]

Does anyone know if phones that are not made by Nokia are compatible with the 770's bluetooth dialup? I have had no luck pairing any phones with the 770 other than my nokia 3650.

My old Sony Ericsson T616 works great! The default settings didn't work for me, so I copied the settings from my PDA (I found these settings online over a year ago when experimenting with Internet access on my PDA)

Dial-up number: *99#

My Treo 650, as well as a Razr took a few tries, but eventually went through.

Jrac.. are you a Sprint Treo 650 or other?

[jrac]

Other - Cingular. But it wouldnt pair exactly right. The trust was never fully created, so I had to approve the connection each time I use data. Also file transfer is not supported at all.

To get it to work, I had to pair without DUN enabled on the Treo, then turn it on when The 770 started checking for services. It timed out a few times, but eventually worked.

i can pair with my Nokia 6820 (on TMO with t-zones)and browse the phone but sofar my DUN is not working.

i connected to a VZ VX6600 (EVDO enabled) but it didn't seem to see it as a DUN device

I just got my 770 today, so I may need to play with it a bit more.

[unuselessj]

I have paired it with my Moto v330 using T-Mobile successfully.

[Treponema]

Works great with my motorola E815 on verizon. (Paired and worked on the first try!)

[DaveC]

Works great with my RAZR V3 with Cingular. Even downloaded e-mail and browsed a little at highway speeds. May need frequent refreshes though as you pass from one cell to another cell, data packets are often apparently dropped. Much more reliable while stationary.

Has anyone successfully paired a MS smartphone with thte nokia 770?

[barake]

paired my nokia 6230 with the 770. worked flawlessly, unsurprisingly. was able to play music, view images etc that were stored on my phone.

[putkowski]

Paired with Sony T670(s.) I can see and manipulate all three folders (sounds, images, and themes...)

[dillera]

SE T68i works ok.

[airbillion]

Maybe there are a few phones other than nokia and sony that work, but I have tried two different windows smartphones and thay will not pair. I even booted the nokia 770 in developer mode and tried to pair them from there, but still no luck. I think that Nokia has will have to fix something in their firmware that will alow windows smartphones to pair with the 770.

Can someone post the "Detailed" Step by Step instructions on getting the Treo 650 working with the Nokia 770 bluetooth wise?

Thanks

ThanksWhich carrier are you using the TRo 650 with. Do you have a data plan?

Here are the steps:

1. In the Treo 650's Prefs, Bluetooth, the most important option you need to activate is "Dial-up Networking". When it's on, you should see a small computer icon at the upper right of your screen, instead of the usual blue bluetooth icon. If you don't have this option, you need to update to the latest Treo 650 firmware.

2. Now you need to add the Treo 650 to the 770. To do this, click on the phone icon at the top and select Change Phone. On the new window, select Add, and it should detect you Treo 650. Pair them.

3. Now go to the Nokia 770's Control Panel, and on it's menu, select Tools->Mobile operator setup wizard. Select your country and your carrier.

4. Now, try to connect by clicking on the world icon at the top. Select Connect. You should see a 'P' icon that is lablled with your carrier (from step 3). Select that row and it should connect.

Let me know if it works.

2. Now you need to add the Treo 650 to the 770. To do this, click on the phone icon at the top and select Change Phone. On the new window, select Add, and it should detect you Treo 650. Pair them.

I know I've said this before, but it seems important: If, during pairing, you get a "Service Discovery Failed" type of message on the 770, but the phone says the pairing was successful then simply keep pressing "Ok" to retry. I've had to do this up to 21 times before my 770 and phone paired.

Looks like a bug of some kind, eh? ;-)

Unfortunately, at least with the Sprint branded Treo 650s running the latest firmware, the pairing often times out, leaving one with the impression that it just doesn't work. You also have to manually create a connection option for a the Sprint data network, and select the "use without asking" option when you want to use DUN rather than have the 770 scan for WiFi networks. At that point, I can usually start an app on the 770 that requires a connection, and the 770 and the 650 will start a repairing operation that generally (but not always) succeeds, and then the DUN connection works.

The issue here is that I'm not Joe Sixpack, I'm an experienced developer used to dealing with beta devices, and willing to try anything to get this to work. Most the the Treo 650 owners I meet haven't even figured out how to get rid of the automatic keypad lock, if they had to deal with this kind of BS to get on the web using DUN, they'd give up and return the 770 to CompUSA.

Considering that the Treo 650 on Sprint is one of the more popular DUN capable devices in the US, I still am perplexed that Nokia chose not to test this combination, since Sprint doesn't offer a BT DUN capabile Nokia phone as far as I know. One might say, well of course, they'd only test it with Nokia phones, but they chose to develop a device that is sold with the promise of seamlessly interroperating with both WiFi and BT DUN environments. Its clear that their testing must have only been done with GSM phones considering the difficulty of setting up the device for a non GSM network. Not that it isn't possible, just that the average use is going to fail when they try.

Still, I see the longer term possibility for the 770 and will gladly fight with it to get my DUN connectivity with my Sprint Treo 650 when I need it, its just too cool.

For what it's worth, I tried a GSM Treo 650 with the 770 and it worked the first time.

[BigDaddy]

This does not work. It goes to use it, and asks me everytime for the passcode again and then I enter it, and the connection fails

[Reggie]

Soft reset (hit the rest button beside the battery) the Treo 650 and try again.

[BigDaddy]

Well Reggie,

What did you do because there are obvious issues with a zillion other people and a developer. I would also consider myself a VERY savvy Treo user and have numerous other devices connected to it. I called Nokia back again and got the standard "we only tested it with Nokia phones" so another SOL call to Nokia. I think it will be going back and hello Palm Lifedrive.

[Reggie]

I will try to find a Cingular SIM soon so I can try it on my Treo 650. I will report back what I find out.

[tnkgrl]

I've updated http://maemo.org/maemowiki/BluetoothDUN with info about the Sony Ericsson W800i and Motorola E815, which both work.

[greencloudz]

Thanks for the posts,fellas, and for the BTDUN
link, tnkgrl...very helpful. So, before I buy
the 770 and a phone, does someone know where a
compatiable yet inexpensive one can be found?

Ciao, greencloudz =)

Another couple phones: The moto v360 pairs on the 1st try. The MPX220 smartphone can be paired to the device if you become root and open bluetooth, but have no option for DUN. (File transfer only) The moto v600 did not work at first, but after repeatedly hitting OK, it bonded. I am waiting for the new samsung t809 and the moto PEBL in the mail and will update as soon as i see if they bond and DUN works. (on a side note, it also did bond with the verizon "V" but that's all i did.)

Info on the t809 would be great. Also, the DUN wiki should include info on which phones do not.work

[Illuminator]

Paired and worked (DUN only) with my LG PM325 , on Sprint.

[dlipetz]

I have a Nokia 6256i which I would like to try with the 770. I have paired the two devices but do not know how to setup the DUN connection settings. Do I have to have a VZW data plan or is there any way just to use my plan minutes for these data calls?

Thanks,
David

[slackwaresupport]

havent gotten my treo 650 to work yet. if anyone has, please post details..

thanks

[Lisag]

How exactly did you setup the Treo 650 manually, I cannot seen to get it to work.

[slackwaresupport]

well i got mine working. but i had to flash it to the non branded gsm

[jacquesne]

After many tries I got the nokia 770 to pair with a sprint lg pm325.
Now trying to pair with a sprint treo 650. Got the pairing to pair after lots of tries but the 770 will not connect and go online with the treo yet.
