I've got a Nokia 770 which I am able to connect to the internet via bluetooth to an Orange SPV550 (windows mobile 3). However I now have a Sony Ericsson K800i on vodafone in the UK, which I just cannot get to connect.
With the K800i, the 770 almost immediately returns an error "internet connection failed". As well as *99# as the dialup string, I've tried variations i.e *99**4# (if 4 is the id number of the phone's dun profile) with no success - and it's driving me nuts.
The phones' in-built browser connects fine.
The phone does ask for permission for the 770 to use it as a modem - but then the 770 immediately throws up the error. So I'm assuming the bluetooth connection works... or does it. Or is this a DUN problem?
I've searched. Really. I've googled postings saying the K800i works with a 770 and 800... Please can someone else who has a 770 or 800 connecting with this model phone (or something similar) please post their settings? which data account etc as well?
Have you tried all the other DUN profile numbers? I'm on Three with a P990 and mine works on #1: *99***1#
Actually that dialing format is a SonyEricsson-specific thing - the *99# or whatever format won't work/that's for (just about?) all other phone makes.
Reckon it's worth a shot you going through all the numbers if you haven't already... Also, I have it set on Packet Data (not Data Call) on the first screen/maybe check that as well?.
Incidentally - if anyone knows how to set up an LG KU990 'Viewty' (on three or any network even) that'd really help me out!
Also what version of OS 2006 or OS 2007HE do you have on your 770? There is/was a BT DUN problem in OS 2006 which I confirmed with Sony Ericsson W950i/M600 phones, you may be seeing the same on your K800i (see bug #865 for details).
Its ages since I fought, lost and finally sorted this. Vodafone support gave me all sorts of strings, which were a complete waste of time.
embarassingly.. I must admit it was user error, I was referencing the wrong profile. *99***5# works a treat, the K800 works as a pretty good modem and the battery lasts surprisingly long for a 3g phone.
Re: the DUN problem Milhouse mentioned-I've not experienced it, but thanks for the heads up. My 770 is on the latest OS 2006.
