Who knows Bluetooth?

[darksnowman]

Who knows Bluetooth? Eh? Well this is where I need your aid and expertise.

 

In short, I have a Samsung mobile phone (not sure which model number) and my sister has a Samsung laptop. Right, on my USB data pen I have a ringtone saved.

 

How to I send it to my mobile? Do I need a cable or anything? I would've thought that sending it wirelessly would have been pretty straight forward, but as usual, things dont seem as smooth as one might hope.

 

Anyone got any solutions?

To state the obvious, are you sure both the laptop and phone have bluetooth.

-bluetooth on computer on

-bluetooth on phone on

-do a search and pair the devices

-send ringtone..

 

..though that would be in 'straight-forward land' and probably won't end up being that simple..

Actually I've found out that bluetooth is the only kind of wireless system where that works perfectly.

Yeah they do. Ive tried searching for devices and they don't pick each other up. Bit of a weird one and theres nothing extensive in the instruction books.

 

Any other ideas guys?

You need to use the samsung phone software, if there was one included. Under connect you have options for bluetooth usb and something else...

Have you made sure that both the phone and laptop are set as discoverable.

 

Some models of mobiles (not sure about Samsung) only stay discoverable for a limited time to avoid the chance of 'bluejacking'. May also be worth checking to see if the laptop is set to discoverable too.
