Using Bluetooth to access the files on Mobile Phone, and with Headset for VoIP

Though these instructions are centered around Skype, they also apply to free, open and non-proprietary software phones like Wengophone, Ekiga, and others.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeEthics for more information.

Copying Files to and from Mobile Phone (K700i)

  1. Install bluez-utils, kdebluetooth (gnome bluetooth is not as far developed as kde I think), libopenobex, qobex, konqueror.
  2. Check /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf:
    • security should be user.
    • pairing should be multi.
    • pin_helper should be /usr/bin/bluez-pin.
  3. restart bluez-utils
    • /etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart

      a.(Some people may need to do this step before running kbluetoothd. I had to in order to successfully pair my phone to the Bluetooth dongle.) From a command line run

      xhost +
  4. Start kbluetoothd (it sometimes needs to be started twice on my machine until the icon shows up in the System Notifications Tray).
  5. Enable Bluetooth on your Device (Mobile Phone).
  6. If you click on the kbluetoothd Icon, konqueror will show up with "bluetooth:/" location, listing all BT Devices found.
  7. Click on your Device (sometimes only the MAC-Adress shows up), konqueror will list all supported Services, and start using the Service (for my Mobile, K700i its obex File Transfer, then I can browse my Mobile like a Disk Drive, copying what I want). Previous to that, my phone wants to pair with my PC, asking for a PIN. Just guess one (1234), after that a pop-up on the PC should occur, asking for the same PIN.
  8. You could also send Files from the Phone to your PC, then a pop-up will show up, asking you, if you wish to receive the file.
