Question Sony Vaio and Nokia Bluetooth probs - HELP!

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem and sorted it.

I have a Sony Vaio A497XP, with built in bluetooth. I have connected a Nokia 6230i via bluetooth, using the intergrated Sony/microsoft bluetooth, and all seemed OK.

However, most of the functions of the Nokia PC suite do not work (such as transferring files etc). Nokia say that it is a known problem with Vaio's.

Anyone experienced the same?

Cheers!

Have you gotten hold of the latest Nokia software suite (ver. 6.6.18) recently? apparrently it fixed a fewthings. Worth a go.

Okey Doke. I currently use a USB cable on my 6230i and have no problems.

Damn......

Bought a data cable and it's doing exactly the same!

It connects, but I cannot browse the phone using the Nokia browser. Back-up works, as it does with Bluetooth, but none of the other Nokia PC suite functions work!

What I can do it seems, is to bin the Nokia software and just use the memory card as a storage drive in Windows.

Cheers!

Another stupid question. Have you tried looking on the vaio website for any updates? Or windows updates? Maybe a fix for this somewhere.

Cheers for your help....

I have downloaded the latest version, and applied the latest update just in case.

Windows kept fully updated.....

Must be a known problem. Nokia sugggest a Sony conflict problem, awaiting for a reply from Sony (4 days so far!).

Damn annoying!
