hi!

can someone help me to make my usb-stick "searchable" by other devices?

i installed mandriva linux 2007, with all the bluetooth things. i can send files to other devices (handy, pda...), but if i search in my handy for other near devices, i cannot find the usb-stick! if i want the handy to pair with the pc (initiated by pc), the handy says i have to input my password. if i do so, my phone shows a progressbar, but in the end it fails.

can someone help me to make my usb-stick "searchable" by other devices?

thank you

use "apitest" to set the DiscoverableTimeout to 0:

apitest SetDiscoverableTimeout 0

then set your device to discoverable:

apitest SetMode discoverable

verify your settings with

apitest IsDiscoverable
apitest GetMode
apitest GetDiscoverableTimeout

use "apitest" to set the DiscoverableTimeout to 0:
apitest SetDiscoverableTimeout 0
then set your device to discoverable:

Quoted 8 lines

apitest SetMode discoverable
verify your settings with
apitest IsDiscoverable
apitest GetMode
apitest GetDiscoverableTimeout

Alternatively, make sure that hscan and pscan are enabled for that device.

IIRC this will still be disabled after DiscoverableTimeout seconds. -- =
