I recently bought a bluetooth adapter to connect my mobile (a Siemens S-65)with my PC.The device is working and I'm able to explore my mobile's environment.The problem is that the official Siemens software is unable to get connected.My operational system is Windows XP Prof.SP2


Thank you :eek:

reported that the adapter can see and browse the S65 but the official Siemens PC software will not connect. correctly flagged that the problem often comes down to ports and services rather than raw Bluetooth visibility. The most useful diagnostic path is to check which Bluetooth profile the PC suite needs (usually a serial link) and whether that profile is actually present and mapped to a usable COM port on the PC.

A common situation: file browsing uses OBEX, which can work while the Serial Port Profile (SPP) required by sync/software does not. Steps to check and fix that:

  • Pair the phone with the PC using the Bluetooth manager and mark it as trusted.
  • In the Bluetooth client (Control Panel -> Bluetooth Devices -> select the phone -> Properties -> Services) verify a "Serial Port" or similar service is listed and enabled.
  • Open Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) and note the virtual COM entry (usually "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link (COMx)").
  • Configure the Siemens software to use that exact COMx. If the suite does not let you choose, create an outgoing COM port for the phone in the adapter’s control panel or Bluetooth settings.

Confirm the serial link with a terminal program (HyperTerminal or any serial terminal): open the Bluetooth COM port and send AT — a working SPP will usually respond with OK. The actual baud setting is irrelevant for the virtual link; use a common value (e.g., 9600/8N1).

Also check Windows XP SP2 firewall or any third‑party security suite; these can block the PC software even when browsing works. If the Bluetooth COM number is high (COM6+), some older PC suites only detect COM1–COM4 — change the port number in Device Manager (Ports -> Properties -> Port Settings -> Advanced -> COM Port Number). If the SPP service simply isn’t available in the Bluetooth client, try using the adapter’s Bluetooth control panel (vendor stack) to add an outgoing serial port; many legacy phone suites require that specific virtual COM mapping.
