Hi, I have a problem with my phone, but I'm not sure it's my phone. See, a while back, I could do everything normaly with bluetooth: transfer files, sync my data, and control my netbook with the bluetooth remote. But the other day, I paired my phone with my sister's Vaio laptop, to use the remote control. After that happened, I can't remote control my netbook. What usually happens when I used Remote Control (with bluetooth turned off first), was that bluetooth would automatically turn on and search for a computer. But now bluetooth doesn't automatically turn on, and rather displays a message that says "Bluetooth connection failed. Check Bluetooth settings on other device: Bluetooth on, Device visible, Device in range." Weird, cause it doesn't even check for surrounding devices to control. But appart from that, I can connect and transfer files, sync data, etc. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a K750, I'm running Windows 7 RC and Windows XP on my netbook, and my sister uses Windows Vista. When I tried to remote control her laptop, it was succesfull. But now, on both XP and 7, I can't remote control, but I can connect and sync. I think it's a phone related problem, because when I start the Remote control, bluetooth doesn't turn on automaticaly like before. Thanks for the reply.

Ok it's solved now. The problem was that my phone searched for my sisters laptop as default. I just had to go to Entertainment > Remote Control > More > Select Device; and choose my laptop. Pretty simple, but it hadn't occured to me.
