<div>> I have a question about phone manager, i can't use it, it always shows a<br>

<br>
</div>The phone manager shows an icon in the task manager? What task manager<br>
are you talking about? I guess you mean the notification area of the<br>
panel, right?<br>
<br>
Have you bonded your phone with your computer, that means have you<br>
exchanged a PIN? Is the phone listed in the "Bonded devices" list of the<br>
bluetooth-applet's settings (bluetooth-settings)?<br>
<br>
If not:<br>
1. Make your computer visible and accept incoming connections.<br>
2. Scan for devices from your phone.<br>
3. Connect to your computer. When your phone asks for a PIN, you<br>
can enter whatever you want.<br>
4. The bluetooth-applet will start blinking. Click on it and enter<br>
the same PIN there.<br>
<br>
Once your phone and computer are paired start phone manager.<br>

</div>Sending files is something completely different from sending/receiving<br>
SMS with phone manager. Sending files is done with bluetooth-send,<br>
receiving with obex-data-server. To enable obex-data-server you need to<br>
enable the "Share files over Bluetooth" option in<br>
gnome-file-share-properties (that is System -> Settings -> Internet &<br>
Network -> File Sharing).<br>

Christoph<br><br><br>------------------------<br><br>Yes
i have bonded my equipment with the linux, but for some reason i dunno
why after some time it disconnects. But i can send files and receive
files over Bluetooth with my phone and linux.<br><br><br>I've
done what u've said here, but still doesn't work, it has still a
forbidden sign in the icon of phone manager, and unable to send sms
from it. When i click browse phone with bluetooth manager which part of
the phone it will browse? because it doesn't show the files i have in
my memory card. Do i need to do some setup in my phone? Or the setup
i've made in the linux is wrong?<br>
<br>I've done all steps mentioned here by chris (Thanks a lot with the answer) but still not working...<br><br>Settings i've made:<br><br>File Sharing:<br>Share public files on network<br>Share public files over bluetooth<br>
Receive files in downloads folder over bluetooth<br>accept files -> only for bonded devices<br><br>Bluetooth preferences:<br>visible and connectable for other devices<br><br>Bonded devices:<br>has the trust and conected with my phone nokia 6630<br>
<br><br>Info about phone:<br>V 5.03.08<br>17-08-05<br>RM-1<br>Nokia 6630<br><br>Phone Manager:<br>Connection:<br>Bluetooth -> has my device on<br>Error Handling -> automatically retry connections "selected"<br>
<br><br>Any settings i could change ?<br><br>----------------------------------------------<br><br>just a guess.. is your user in the groups<br>
haldaemon<br>
plugdev<br>
? if not, try to add yourself to these groups, then restart your<br>
session/computer.<br>
