507153 2006-12-27 09:25:00 On my vodafone mobile when I go to settings > connectivity > bluetooth > switch on & search for devices it can find & talk to my laptop fine,

But when I go to settings > conectivity > PC Software > bluetooth the GX 17 Handset manger software can’t find my phone, the software just sites there saying “trying to connect to the device".

Now I don't want to sound like a ****** hear, but it sounds like doing anything bluetooth in windows is an endless drama having to download drivers and doing installs, The GX17 isn't even meant to be mac compatible and it syncs

Any one else has any ideas? Or should I contact Vodafone?

507155 2006-12-30 10:43:00 Contacting Vodafone is the best suggestion I've seen on this thread thus far. :) qazwsxokmijn (102)
507156 2006-12-30 22:47:00 When I first start the GX 17 Handset Manager I get this message:
imagef1.net.nz

qazwsxokmijn did you get that message when you first used the GX 17 Handset Manager? & if you did how did you solve it? (As I think that why I cat get the Handset Manager to work with my phone :badpc:)

507157 2006-12-31 08:17:00 I never got that message. I just plugged in the bluetooth dongle, switch the phone to 'Data Transfer' using bluetooth mode, start the Handset Manager, wait a minute or two and I'm set. :/ qazwsxokmijn (102)
507158 2007-01-01 00:55:00 Does this: www.vodafone.co.nz look a bit like your phone? stu161204 (123)
507159 2007-01-01 08:26:00 Dude, I know what a GX17 loks like....:p qazwsxokmijn (102)
507160 2007-01-02 03:41:00 Dude, I know what a GX17 loks like....:p

heh :D :p

Sorry :o the only reason why I ask is because there is another modal of the GX17 that comes with a USB cable…

Any one else has any ideas before I forget about using bluetooth?
