507143 2006-12-16 11:12:00 Hi All

Has any one here got a GX17 Mobile phone (from vodafone) & got it to work with Bluetooth & with the GX 17 Handset manger?

( I have got my mobile phone talking to the Bluetooth devise, but I cant get the GX 17 Handset manger to see the mobile phone)

507146 2006-12-25 10:41:00 Yep, I've got it. My handset works fine - all you need is launch the hanset manager on the PC, then before continuing, follow the pop-up instruction to activate the phone's bluetooth transfer ability. Wait for a few moment, and at the bottom of the handset should say it is connected to the phone. qazwsxokmijn (102)

** sigh **, I am not having much luck with XP home, at the moment, LOL :D

Is it a bluetooth Dongle?


Remeber to have the bluetooth's driver installed!!

Yeath, I think it got installed when I installed the bluetooth Dongle.

507151 2006-12-27 07:54:00 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".

507152 2006-12-27 08:28:00 Yeah, it's a bluetooth dongle. The driver for mine came on a mini CD, so I think you also should have something like that, not just simply attaching the dongle. qazwsxokmijn (102)
