Comment 19 for bug 283064

I have Intrepid on two machines, Acer TM 2354 laptop and Compaq Evo D 510 SFF desktop, upgraded from Hardy on both. Yesterday I purchased a Celly BK3 USB bt dongle. Could not make it work on either machine (except on the Win XP installation of the desktop): I could neither send files from the PC to the mobile phone (Nokia 6151) nor receive or browse files, nor pair these devices.

Then I tried Hardy LiveCD on the laptop and everything worked smoothly out of the box, no problem at all in pairing and in sending files from PC to phone. Then I decided to try the dongle with Intrepid on the desktop machine again, and suddenly the file transfer from PC to phone succeeded: I sent a whole directory of mp3's to the Nokia. I had changed nothing and made no update. I tried it again, but this time to no avail. So it seems that with some luck, the transfer may intermittently succeed also in Intrepid...

Browsing the files on the phone via bt has not succeeded in the same mysterious manner, though. I keep getting an error message: "Could not display "obex://[00:1B:EE:5D:04:2A]/". Error: Connection to the device lost. Please select another viewer and try again." This is interesting from my non-technical end-user perspective, because I recall the "Please select another viewer" message from the time a recent Nautilus bug in Hardy prevented from browsing Samba shares.

I don't know if this is of any help or just redundant babble.
