Bluetoth Device being detected partially in Fedora 15

taousif · 07-05-2011, 06:00 AM

Hi,

I have recently installed fedora 15, I'm trying to connect my mobile phone to my laptop through bluetooth, when I did setup new device it is just showing device address and (instead of name), and the forward button is not enabled....
FYI - I have started and enabled the bluetooth services using systemctl

systemctl start bluetooth.service
systemctl enable bluetooth.service

And it is working in windows very fine.....

Can some body please help me....

i described this problem a bit here
But it seems that you have configured that much !
have you enabled bluetooth by your switch on computer and keyboard shortcut(my laptop custom shortcut for that is Fn+F6)...??

The bluetooth button is ON, it is detecting partially as I mentioned in my question...
It is just showing the device address, like 1A-2B-3C-4D-5E-6F (but it should show name of the bluetooth device)...

Ya mobile is detecting the laptop... but when i enter passcode in mobile to pair with laptop there is nothing showing in and I'm getting a message in mobile " Other device not responding. Retry ?" I tried it may times but the same problem....

And also I have disabled the SELinux.

when transfering files....ur device address is shown by default instead of showing name.
you can see device name in system tray on the top.
