Bluetooth Device being detected partially in Fedora 15

[taousif]

Hi,

I have recently installed fedora 15, I'm trying to connect my mobile phone to my laptop through bluetooth, when I did setup new device it is just showing device address and (instead of name), and the forward button is not enabled....
FYI - I have started and enabled the bluetooth services using systemctl

systemctl start bluetooth.service
systemctl enable bluetooth.service

And it is working in windows very fine.....


Can some body help me....

assuming KDE
>bluetoothmanager
> ADD devices
there you have to add AND PAIR with your mobile phone
make sure bluetooth on mobile is ON
then during paring you may have to type in ID code to pair/allow on both ends of the bt connection
same you would need to do for bt mouse, etc

Oh sorry I din't mention about the desktop, I'm usng gnome....

Earlier it was working very fine with fedora 14 with the same laptop and mobile, later I did a fresh installation of fedora 15... then onward I'm facing this problem....

gnome same procedure as a.m.
pair your devices !!

[taousif]

Its not pairing only...
Not going for the code confirmation also....

[hans51]

remove from known devices
let the system scan and find
then start pairing

[taousif]

There are no known devices because its a freshly installed OS(Fedora 15).

[hans51]

look at your package manager and make sure you have all relevant bluetooth packages installed

[taousif]

Ya i checked it, all required packages are installed....

[hans51]

so if you have all bt packages installed
and
bt switched ON on your computer (normally on laptops there may be a BLUE control light to show that bt ON
bt switched ON on your mobile + bluetooth VISIBLE on mobile
then may be a REBOOT of computer AND mobile helps

then do a scan - on computer, in shell

hcitool scan

has to detect your mobile, show name and HW address
if not, then any of above missing
