Bluetooth can't connect to other phones

I have enabled bluetooth on my phone. I am able to connect to my computer via bluetooth but that is all. When i try to connect to other phones (including motorolas on the same network) my moblie doesn't find them when it's searching. The other phones definatly have bluetooth turned on but my phone is the only one that can't detect (nor be detected) by other phones. I definatly have bluetooth on. Any ideas what the problem could be?

SOURCE: Motorola HS850 Bluetooth

Whats most likely wrong with your HS850 is the connect button on the front of the headset (the larger oval chrome one with an inlay of a traditional phone handset on it)is stuck down. To repair this you will hold the hand set and pull up on lanyard attach point firmly. (This facia is held on by double sided tape). After pulling the facia you need to purchase or borrow a T-6 Torx bit to remove the screw that holds the headset together. Once you get to the circuit board you will see what the button and spring assembly are (all is is a round piece of foil and the "spring" is a piece of tape using tension to pull the foil up!) Reset the piece of tape so it does not rest on the board and reassemble that headset. Enjoy your HS-850

Hi,
If you have lost the pairing on your phone with the headset follow these simple steps below:
• Setting the headset into pairing mode
1) Ensure the headset is fully charged
2) The headset must be switch off
3) Press and hold the on button for +- 8 seconds until the light flashes red-blue
4) The headset is now in pairing mode
• Searching for the headset on the phone
1) Go to “settings” or “connections”
2) Select Bluetooth, then options
3) Select Devices and click add
4) The phone should search for any available Bluetooth devices and display what was found
5) Select the Motorola device and click add
6) You will be required to enter in a pass code which is standard ‘0000’.
7) If successful then the headset will start flashing BLUE every few seconds.
8) If it’s a Samsung or Nokia phone you will need to “AUTHORIZE” headset on the device.
• The headset is now paired with the phone

Hope this helps

SOURCE: Motorola bluetooth H270 solid blue light after pairing

I had the same problem. I plugged a USB charger into the headset and turned the power switch off. It worked as normal after that. I think it does not like to be "on" when the USB is disconnected. Anyway it seems the plugging/unplugging kick-started it.

Im trying to use PDAnet with bluetooth I have the bluetooth card installed on my laptop tuning vista, and it has an error that says that I need to install the bluetooth software for the phone, and I've...

Make sure you have bluetooth on on both, and that you are connected via bluetooth to your computer.

Turn on pda net on your DI and enable bluetooth dun.

Now go to your bluetooth settings on your computer and double click on your device, a new service should pop up allowing you to enable dun/modem and select that.

right click on your di bluetooth connection on your computer and create a dial up modem.

select the generic bluetooth modem, not the pdanet modem.

Type 123 in the phone number and leave the username and password blank and click connect.

Now you can right click on your DI bluetooth icon on your computer and select connect to the modem connection you just created.

After using my DI as a modem over bluetooth there are a few things to consider.

1. yeah it works great.

2. Its a battery **** fest.

Constant 3g with constant bluetooth = constant battery draw.

I would still recommend using your pdanet via the usb cable, seeing as this will keep the battery level charged, as well as same speed!

I'm trying to connect my phone to my laptop

Via Bluetooth or Manual Connection? I'll tell you how to do both.

Bluetooth
To check if your computer has bluetooth, Click the windows logo at the bottom left. Type "bluetooth"
and it should come up. If it doesn't, then you need to buy an adapter. Then click bluetooth, search for your phone (make sure bluetooth is enabled) and it should appear. Then your phone will act as if it is connecting to another phone.

Manual
If your phone didn't come with a cable to connect it to your computer, then you will need to go out and buy one. When you plug in your phone, it will be automatically scanned and added to your computer as a compatible device. From there, it will appear as a new drive under Start > Computer > and it will probably be called Removable Disk.

How do i use my samsung c5212 as a modem to pc and to connect to internet.

Follow the below mentioned steps : 1. Connect the Samsung cell phone and computer. If you are connecting via USB, connect one end of the USB cable to your Samsung phone and the other end to your computer. It may take a few seconds for the proper drivers for the Samsung phone to install. If pairing via Bluetooth, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your Samsung phone and start a search for devices on your Bluetooth-enabled computer by right-clicking the Bluetooth icon in your taskbar.
2 Launch Internet Sharing, found in the Start menu on your Samsung cell phone. Open the application.
3 Configure Internet Sharing. The status menu should read "Disconnected." Under the PC Connection setting, select the method you will use to connect your cell phone to the computer--USB and Bluetooth PAN are the choices. You shouldn't need to change anything under Network Connection, unless a network other than is showing on the display.
4 Start the Internet Sharing connection. On your Samsung device, press the Connect soft key. It may take up to 30 seconds for the connection to be negotiated, during which the status line may say "Check USB cable connection"; this is normal.
5 Connect the computer to the Internet sharing phone. If your computer and phone are paired via USB, no further pairing is needed. You will see the shared Internet connection as a wired connection in your Network and Sharing control panel on the computer. If you are connected to the Internet Sharing application via a Bluetooth personal area network, the computer must be synced to the phone. Right-click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar and select "Connect to a PAN" or similar, based on the version of Windows you are using. A list of all Bluetooth PAN connections within range is shown; select your Samsung phone. The PAN connection will be negotiated, and the Internet connection will be shared.

How can I on the bluetooth on my laptop aspire 4743Z?

Connecting your Bluetooth wireless phone with your laptop is called pairing, and I'll use a Blackberry Curve to show you how it works. I'm assuming your laptop comes with a built-in Bluetooth adapter (or you can also get a Bluetooth adapter that plugs into one of your USB ports).
First make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. For Blackberry phones, that means selecting the "Set Up Bluetooth" application from the main screen, and then selecting "Enable Bluetooth" after clicking the menu button.
Next, set up your computer to allow Bluetooth connections. If your computer comes with Bluetooth, then you'll see a Bluetooth icon in your Control Panel (Start button -> Control Panel from Vista):

Double-click the Bluetooth icon and you'll see a Bluetooth Devices dialog. Click the Options tab and make sure the options to "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" and "Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer" are both checked

Next, click the Devices tab and then click the "Add" button. This will open the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard, and after verifying that your device is set up and ready to be found (ie. Bluetooth has been enabled on your wireless phone) it will try to find your phone.

Select the Bluetooth device and click Next to set up a passkey, which is a number that associates your computer with a Bluetooth enabled device. For security reasons, most Bluetooth enabled devices (with some exceptions, such as mice) require you to use a passkey. Using a passkey helps ensure that your computer is connecting to the device that you intended and not someone else's device that is nearby.
You can choose your own passkey or let Windows choose one for you. Click Next and then pick up your phone, which will prompt you to enter in the passkey. After entering the passkey in your phone, Windows will finish the pairing process and your phone will be connected via Bluetooth.

Trying to download files from my laptopato my cell phone razor v3, but authentication asks me for a pairing number

hi friend follow the below steps

enable Bluetooth on your PC. To enable Bluetooth on your PC visit your control panel. You should see an option for Bluetooth devices. Select this option and make sure the technology is enabled. If you are installing a USB module, you should be able to plug it in and use it right away. If not, it should come with drivers to install (insert the disc, and install the software).
Step 2 Enable bluetooth on your cell phone. Each phone is different, but you should be able to go to a settings menu, and select bluetooth. There should be an option to enable bluetooth on your phone. Enable it, and make sure your phone is visible.
Step 3 Allow the PC to search for devices. It should find your cell phone. If not, you can try searching for your computer with your cell phone. Many times, with the USB modules, they have trouble finding your cell, but your cell can find your computer. The important part is that the devices connect, regardless of which device finds which.
Step 4 Approve the devices to connect. Sometimes, the devices will automatically connect, and you will be ready to go. However, if this is not the case, refer to step 5.
Step 5 Enter any necessary security codes. If you do not know these codes, try the defaults, (1234,) use the same code for PC and for mobile
Step 6 Select the files on your computer that you want, and you should be able to right click and select "send via bluetooth". Click this option, and let the files

Want to send picture from phone to computer

Can you not use bluetooth to send pictures from phone to computer. Search on your mobile phones menu to see if there is bluetooth and enable it. If your mobile is not bluetooth enabled, you may still be able to send pictures from phone to pc if there is a USB cable slot in the phone. To send to the pc via bluetooth, either your pc has been set up with bluetooth, or, if not, you have
to install bluetooth using a bluetooth dongle which comes with CDrom, and may be purchased from computer stores like Currys or online for £10-15. Let me know if you have bluetooth, and I'll help you more. Once there is Blue tooth it needs to be turned on, and discovery mode has to be enabled, (not disabled) in order to communicate with other nearby bluetooth enabled devices.
