Now that 4.1 is out for the Blackberry 7520 Has anyone tried the new Bluetooth Sync yet? I am thinking I will try it.... But I also am wondering if my Bluetooth keyboard (Logitech MX 5000) Will be able to do the Sync.... Or if I have to use my other Blue Tooth Adapter? Any Ideas?

my bb now lists headsets, handsfree, desktop connectivity and wireless bypass, but my computer can only discover audio gateway on it

I was just able to synch mine with my dell XPS Gen2 integrated bluetooth.

EDIT: Actually the connection is made but the computer is looking at COM40 while the BB only has COM7 in the list. I'm working on trying to figure out a way to change that now.

so what services come up when you try to discover from your XPS? i have a inspiron 8600 but i can't discover anything but audio gateway. the blackberry lists many more services on the headset though

The only service name I see is Blackberry Bypass Service P:0x4009 with the service class of smart phone and that's when I click details of the connection, is there another way to see the entire list? I can get the connection going to where the XPS is connected but Desktop Manager doesn't detect it.

i think this update is goofy as far as bluetooth goes. let me see if there's an update for my bluetooth drivers on my laptop. maybe that would fix it

Lokean · 02-02-2006, 12:23 PM

Yeah well they need to patch the desktop manager so that it will see the bluetooth connection...or I'm just setting it up completely wrong.

Same here!

rta53 · 02-03-2006, 08:17 AM

I only have Headset and Handsfree listed as Services for Bluetooth.

Hey Lokean,
Check out the article located here for setting up DTM Connectivity with you BlackBerry.

Just an FYI...with handheld code v4.1 the Bluetooth technology was upgraded from version v1.1 to v2.0 which is what almost all headsets and devices use for Bluetooth connectivity these days so rejoice!!

BBMaster you answered my question for me. I'm on a BES and we don't have SP3 installed yet. Thanks!

I'm not sure which question I answered? Doesn't seem to fit with this particular post. Please let me know if you have a sec?

I was refering to the link you posted about how to set up Bluetooth PC connectivity. After upgrading my 7520 to 4.1 I don't have Desktop Connectivity as an option. The article explains that if you are on a BES you have to have SP3 installed which we don't.

Gotcha.

Yeah, you gotta have SP3 on the BES for that version of handheld code to take advantage of the Bluetooth Desktop connectivity.

Glad I could help you out.

Lokean · 02-03-2006, 12:27 PM

Yeah thanks for the advice, I had to uninstall all my bluetooth software and then reinstall it using the windows driver, but I finally got it to connect and successfully synch'ed using Desktop Manager.

OK, so I just upgraded my BES to 4.0.3.5

rebooted my bb, via taking out the battery for a few minutes.

Still only shows headset and handsfree only under bluetooth options.

what gives?

Lokean · 02-03-2006, 01:55 PM

I noticed mine only said COM7 and Voice Gateway until the first time I synched. Now My services on the Laptop Device properties on the BB are blank.

xxhiyanxx · 02-03-2006, 02:23 PM

are you sure that the bluetooth was upgraded from 1.1 to 2.0? i think you mean 1.2 2.0 would require new hardware
