We can use Bluetooth
technology to connect laptop and cell phone. We can move videos, images,
photos etc from a desktop computer or a laptop to our cell phones. In
order to use Bluetooth technology to connect laptop and cell phone we
need a laptop and a cell phone which support this technology.
If the laptop doesn't
support it, we can use a USB Bluetooth dongle. Just plug it into the USB
port of the desktop computer or laptop. Leave the rest to Microsoft
Windows. It will find the driver and install it itself. If it is not
supported, we can manually install it via the manufacturer's compact
disk. Follow these simple steps in order to use Bluetooth technology to
connect laptop and cell phone: (In this example, we are using Windows
Vista.)
Turn
on the Bluetooth feature on your cell phone.
Make
this setting: my Phone's visibility -> Shown to all on the cell
phone.
Open Bluetooth Devices by clicking on its icon in the Control Panel.
OR
Look for the
Bluetooth driver in the Device Manager and double-click on its icon.
Click on the Add
button in Bluetooth Devices dialog box.

by.

Select Let
me choose my own key or Choose a passkey for me and click on Next.
It will now
display the passkey. Key this into the cell phone. Now the laptop is
initiating to install the Bluetooth device. (Click Yes as you see the
prompt message on the cell phone to allow connection with the laptop.)
Click on the
Finish button to close the dialog box of Add Bluetooth Device Wizard.
The Bluetooth device (the cell phone) is now displayed in Bluetooth
Devices dialog box. Select the Bluetooth device and click on the
Properties button.
The Properties
dialog box for the device will become visible. Choose the Services tab.
Check the boxes
for the services you want.
In the end you can
launch the items of the cell phone. Transfer photos, videos etc to cell
phone via Bluetooth technology.
This method can also
be used to connect laptop to Bluetooth devices like Bluetooth mouse,
Bluetooth keyboard, Bluetooth headset, etc.
