Hello, what i'm trying to ask is; does it make a difference if my
device using particular bluetooth profile (i.e. synchronization) is
made by "Nokia" or "Sony-Ericsson"?
As far as i understand it profiles are 'generic' and application using
particular profile is responsible for providing compatibility with
particular device. (i.e. field mapping in case of synchronization,
etc...)
The reason for my question is, i'm using Sony-Ericsson P900, and there
are problem with syncing it using iSync software. Other phones from
the same manufacturers sync fine every-time, without any problems.
The T68i or T610 series use the IrMC profile to sync, which is a
standard profile defined in the Bluetooth specifications, whereas the
P900 is using the proprietary Symbian sync mechanism, which is NOT a
Bluetooth profile.
Usually re-pairing of P900 solves the issue temporarily.
Unfortunately, this is the only solution, until iSync fixes the problem;
I'm trying to understand the issue here, my thinking is: If bluetooth
profiles are hardware independent, then issue lies with iSync, not
working properly with particular bluetooth profile. In that case will
any updates to bluetooth (like the most recent 1.5) will not fix that
issue.
I tried to sync P900 and T610 (both from sony-ericsson) and used
BluetoothMonitor to see what happens, one thing i have noticed is that
in case of T610 connection is being initiated and stays active much
longer than in P900's case where connection stays active for ~2 sec,
then being dropped.
if you want more informations about the Symbian sync mechanism, just
search with google using "symbian", "linux" and "p800" as keywords and
you'll have your answers
