I´ve recently converted my k750i into a w800i via FAR manager. Everything went perfectly fine, except for one thing:

Now no other device can locate me via bluetooth.. I can send files to other people just fine, but they can never locate my phone, even though all the settings are correct in the configuration menu.

I´m running firmware R1BC002..


Does anyone have any suggestions to help me solve this problem???

i know you have said you have checked all the settings, but is the phone 'hidden' mode?

go to the bt menu, options, visibility, show phone

yes actually I did double-check that when testing..

I´m thinking about reverting the phone back to a k750i.. i do miss the activity menu afterall...

Maybe that would help me.. Should I do that via FAR manager too or is there another (simpler) way of doing it?

Well there was said that you cannot run W800's firmware on a K750 without any errors, so you have problems like many others. My suggestion for you is to return to the K750 firmware and stay with it. It's great after all .

yes after reading your advice i decided to return to the k750i firmware... Now i´m running on R1BD001 but still got the same bluetooth issues..


very rarely some phones can find mine, but even more rarely it is possible to finish a tranfer via bt..

still, i can send any kind of file to any kind of phone just fine.. really wierd..

any one´s got any other ideas??
