Up to now I have always ignored bluetooth. However I have noticed that it is enabled on my new smartphone and I am wondering what it is all about. (On my computer I am using Mint KDE Maverick.) I know that it is for connecting devices over small distances. On myphone a scan does not find anything. In system settings on the computer I get the message 'No bluetooth adapters have been found'. In the menu,under Internet I see bluedevil as a choice but it has no effect.I have done some Googling only to finish up more confused than ever. Socan anyone point me in the right direction please?
Nearby devices need to both: * Have Bluetooth turned on, and * Be set "Discoverable"Likewise, the PC needs _both_ settings too. At least for an easy life it does.
