Scanning ...

and then nothing
Bluetooth service is running.
And yes, I have my Acer smartphone laying beside the laptop (works perfectly in my car), havn't tried on Win 7 yet.

Please next time use code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

Did you enable visibility on the smartphone? Also why don't you try to pair directly?

It was by testing the phone With Mageia4 that I realized that I had switched Bluetooth on , on the phone, but I still needed to initiate the command to connect. I have bought this Acer phone recently, and it works sometimes quite differently from my older Nokia cell phone.
Sorry for the trouble.

No problem
