Problems with Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a great technology but sometimes it just doesn’t work. File transfer between pc and mobile phone often fails. Unless there is something really wrong with your pc or phone here are a few steps that should make your Bluetooth work:
1. Unpair all devices. Bluetooth doesn’t like too many paired devices. Go to the settings and delete all pairings.
2. Right-click on the Bluetooth icon in the right bottom corner of your pc screen and stop Bluetooth.
3. Unplug the Bluetooth dongle from your pc and plug it in again.
4. Right-click on the Bluetooth icon and start Bluetooth.
5. Pair your phone with computer. After searching and pairing allow also authorization. This will create more trust between the two devices.
Now you should be able to establish connection and transfer files without any problems.

I have a problem with the phone bluetooth s/w. after working perfectly a few times, it now simply is not able to find any new device while searching, or if it does find a device, fails to pair with it. When I search for the phone and connect it from my pc, or another phone then it gets connected without a problem. Is there a problem with the phone bluetooth firmware and how do i sort it out?
Nilanjan, do you have Nokia E50? Try to delete all pairings from your pc and start BT search from the phone again. Please let us know if you succeeded.
