Hello all. I'm new hear, but do sometimes (rarely) post over at PPC-thoughts. I'm a long time PPC user, PC user, PC server admin, and I guess my fiance is right... all around dork. But in my free time I like to camp and have my fair share of beer, so I guess it balances out. :wink:
But this is starting to sound like a personal ad, so I'll make with the questions. lol
First off, I read and searched like crazy on both of these questions. Here, the Howard forums, just general google-ing... Nothing addressed either for me.
The first item is I cannot find out what one of my status icons are on my phone. This is my first ATTWS phone as well, FYI. It is a triangle shaped icon (a little tall like a teepee) anout a third of the way over from the left. I do not recall it being there when I first got the phone, but it is ALWAYS there now. :?: The only app I have installed so far is the connectedbits weather app.
The second is the dreaded "I can't sync via blutooth" whine. :oops: I've tried it all. I have an IO Gear bluetooth dongle and XPSP2. It appears to be running the MS bluetooth protocol stack as it should. I have both ports checked on the phone. I have deleted the pairing several times from both the phone and the PC, I have tried initiating the pairing from both devices, but nothing. They both do see each other. On the PC side I get a DUN and SPP services from the phone. However, when I try to invoke the Setup Active Sync over Bluetooth on the phone, it gives me an error that the phone has to be bonded with a device first and throws me into the BT setup screen. I believe I have literally tried just about every suggestion in this and the Howard forums.
One last and minor question. Anyone know why my local networks (carriers) are showing up as just numbers? Doesn't seem to hurt anything, just aesthetics.
Thansk!
