God, I'm supposed to be good at this, but I've tried all 4 billion permutations on offer and give up - HELP!
Back when I still had hair a few days ago I thought getting the two units to talk to eachother would be fiddly but possible - now I'm not so sure...
First question:
if I delete the partnership and start afresh by trying to sync using BT the XDA re-establishes a partnership OK, and then pops up a dialog asking "BT serial Port COM5, this BT device supports serial port profile, would you like to create a BT serial port for it". The Toshiba BT Service Centre on the laptop now claims ports 4-7 are available (and also says that of these 5 is actually connencted), so I hit OK. AFAIK at this point the paired unts are able to communicate over port 5, but I can't beam files or sync and on checking again on the PC COM5 is now not connected, What is going on?
Second Question:
Has anybody managed to get a real working BT connection between a Tosh 5100 and an XDA2 - maybe it's the bloody Toshiba software?
Third Question:
Where does Mr. Bluetooth live and does anybody fancy going over to his place with me and firebombing it. :evil:
Cheers, I feel better getting that off my chest. And it's my birthday goddamit so I entitled to a good rant.
