Fixing One-Touch Access using Bluetooth on Nokia E71

I just want to pass this information forward, hoping it will help someone else.

A few days ago I stopped being able to connect to the internet using my Nokia E71 phone + Smart 3G + a bluetooth connection from my laptop. I was able to connect to the phone itself and transfer files using the bluetooth connection, but the One Touch Access just did not work. It either disconnected as soon as I clicked the Connect button or said the the device was not connected. In addition, the Standard modem over bluetooth connections in the control panel kept multiplying.

Fortunately, I found a solution at a Nokia support site.

Let me elaborate the details of the solution here. Instructions are specific to Nokia PC Suite 7.x.

Cleanup the Nokia PC Suite Bluetooth Connection

1. Go to Settings > Manage Connections.
2. In Connections available:, Select Bluetooth.
3. Click Configure.
   
4. Click Unpair.
   

Cleanup Your Computer’s Bluetooth Modems

1. Go to Control Panel > Phone and Modem Options.
2. Go to Modems tab. Remove all bluetooth modems.
   

Pair Your Phone Again

1. In Nokia PC Suite, go to Settings > Manage connections.
2. Select Bluetooth.
3. Click Configure.
4. Follow the instructions.

The Kickass Affirmation

Forget those boring, plain, unimaginative affirmations. Design your own! Make it emotional and highly appealing to you. Here’s a piece that tickles my thoughts and helps keep me going. It’s like freaking mind caffeine. May it inspire you to develop your own kickass affirmation.

What does not kill me makes me stronger.
I am faster, better, more beautiful and badass than ever before.
I am achieving my purpose in life with grace and style.
I am focused and relentless.
I will win in life and kick ass.

What do you want to do? Who do you want to be? Think about that and craft something that can keep your mind and emotions in high gear. Oh yeah!

Rebirth?

My old host died so it’s back to scratch. Good day.
