OK, I got to jump in here with a request for assistance.
My setup is a uk 5500 with Sharp 3.10 Rom, Bluemonkey CF card, Siemens s65 phone, UK O2 mobile account.
I followed the BlueZ howto at the top of this thread a while back and got a fair amount of success. I managed to pair up the Z & phone and allocate /dev/rfcomm0 to the pairing on the serial port channel of the s65. I created an IR dialup via the network wizard, then went into the equivalent script under /etc/ppp/peers and added in the /dev/rfcomm0 line at the top, set the phone MAC address in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
I don't think I ever managed to get the network connection going, though the devices did pair. (Annoyingly the phone and WinXP on my work laptop function without incident.)
I had to do a Z restart a while ago & since then, everything seems to have gone horribly wrong :-/ I'm pretty sure I kicked off the bluetooth with a manual restart.
When the phone BT is enabled & nearby, I get the pairing icon for a moment then it drops,. I run the network connection and it sits in 'modem initializing'.
Even though the phone is discoverable, I do an "sdptool browse" after sudo'ing to root, all I get is
Inquiring...
Inquiring failed
So why does that happen?
Do the symptoms I've described point to something obvious?
I think the rest of my woes are with getting a connection script sorted for GPRS to O2 using the s65, but let's not go there for now! I've not managed via IR yet.
