I've bought a USB bluetooth adapter today (Motorola D200) to connect to my computer in order to send files to my phone (Samsung G800), says on the packaging Plug-n-play > no software installation. Not that simple for me though.
The instruction manual only seems to show how to connect hardware such as printers and keyboards by bluetooth, not how to connect a mobile phone, so im hoping someone on here can help.
First ive tried changing the setting in Samsung PC Studio so that it connects via bluetooth not the usb cable, when i click the bluetooth icon im given two options:
1. Connect phone to PC by using the connection wizard
2. Connect phone to PC by choosing a port manually
The first option leads to an error message, and asks me to choose the second option, which i don't have much understanding of.
So ive looked in the Bluetooth Devices section under Control Panel, and tried to set up a connection here, with no luck here either.
The adapter does light up when plugged into the computer, so can anyone help me to use the sodding thing please?
thanks in advance folks

yeah thats the one, enjoy. Ive downloaded a few today but most of them would put a watermark on as it was unregistered shareware. This one is free, but think it will only convert avi files. A program called Free 3gp Video Converter from www.dvdvideosoft.com will let you convert, then open your converted file. |

The problem is, the file is almost 3mb, so people with slower or limited bandwidth will suffer for you using that Gif as a signature, if everyone had them the board would be unuseable.

I find the program from www.dvdvideosoft.com that i just mentioned the easiest of them all, open the program, open the file, choose which video type to convert to and choose high, medium or low quality and click go, couldnt be simpler |
