Hello,

I need help with setting up Bluetooth. I have a Sony Ericsson K770i, this is the first time I have used Bluetooth, and I am not sure on what you do.

I have gone on to the Bluetooth settings page on my phone, but I'm not sure on what to do. I'm sure it isn't complicated.

Thanks for any help

Hi RSCruz!


Welcome to Esato!!

Please give us some more information....

Are you trying to pair your phone with a bluetooth headset, or with your PC ?

Tell us what you want to do, and what other devices you have, and we can go from there.

I'm not totally sure on what extra information I can give.

My mate said he would send me a video using Bluetooth - how do we go about this? He already has Bluetooth activated on his phone.

I will see about other devices later on. Thanks again.

Hi,

I don't know the K770i well, but in the menu's you will find an option to set your phone to visible.

Your friend can do a search, using his phone. for bluetooth devices, and it should pick up your phone.

You both should be asked to enter a passcode, I think the code can be 0000 or 1111, 0r whatever but you both must enter the same code.

After that, you should see a message saying 'pairing was successful' and do you want to receive a 'file from your friend'. You can hit 'Y' and then you can see it transferring.

I am sure fellow Esato members might add more to help you !

back to my beer !

You dont have to pair your phones with any code ! This is only when connecting a headset or computer...

When transfer a file between two phones: Reciever have to activate BT and have the device in "visible". The transmitter have to select file and choose send by --> bluetooth. Not more, not less.....

true but i think ALL modern phones ask the owner to accept or decline an incoming file.

Don't forget to switch your phone back to Hidden mode. When hidden you can still use BT with devices you've already paired with, but other peolpes doing a search can't find and mess with your phone.

Or if you're not using Bluetooth, turn it off so it's not wasting your battery!
