fred110 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I have Windows XP on my laptop. I installed an IRDA and driver. I turn my Nokia 6610 to Infrared and I get a connection briefly, tyhen it says my phone has moved out of range or is turned off. The it connects again for a few seconds, and drops again. Keeps doing this by itself. Any ideas? I just went and updated my OS online, the IRDA shows up in Windows as working. Maybe XP needs another fix?

Crushdepth Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 It might actually be your phone - the Nokia IR drivers are pretty crap (you wouldn't happen to be trying to sync with PC Suite would you? It's a very broken piece of software). Can you connect other IR devices to your laptop ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no other IR devices. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldcrush Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I found with Nokia the same, unreliable infared. However try and move onto bluetooth, a much better and faster transfer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 hi' all respect to the old infrared, but bluetooth is a bit more actual and works fine. francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 While I can't get my phone to connect to PC Suite via infrared, it works just fine with any other application - including as a modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Boy Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 you need to turn the data rate and the accepted response latency down, I had the same problem with a nokia and the IRda cable.. These other apps which you have working maybe alter the windows settings for you Its a common problem with Nokia I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
