[maemo-users] Still trying to make my Nokia 770/IT2006 bluetooth discoverable

[From: david feldman]

OK, this is what I am seeing (I'm now in front of the 770):

Tools->Control Panel->Connectivity brings up a new dialog box entitled "Connectivity"

>From here, it has two tabs, General and Idle Times, and three buttons, OK, Connections and Cancel.

Under Connections, I can get to a connection setup welcome wizard, and this eventually takes me through WLAN, Data call and Packet data options (none of those really do what I want, which is to set the bluetooth port enabled and discoverable.)

Tools->Control Panel->Phone has a bluetooth icon on it, and that brings up a new dialog box called "Phone".

Under Phone, I can select "New", which does a bluetooth search for phone in proximity (that is, it appears to expect the phone to be discoverable), however, this is also not what I want to accomplish, as I want to make the Nokia 770 itself discoverable (that is, phone discover Nokia, not the other way around.)

There's another path - Tools->Connection Manager, from which I can select Tools from it's drop-down menu, but these just take me to the same set of dialog boxes I already found above.

Under no set of these manuevers do I get an error message or unexpected close or crash of a dialog box, so I find it difficult to think that something is missing.

So I'm somewhat back to my original plea for help - could someone with a Nokia 770 with IT2006 please try to set their device to bluetooth state discoverable, and tell me what the path is to that control?

Thanks again,

Dave
