Paul Todd's Forum Nokia Blog - At the moment I'm willing to try anything to get ODD to work

Bluetooth is terrible on my PC (A Dell). I know not everyone suffers from this. I can make it work, but I have to start TRK and the debugger at just the right time because (I think) the signalling is all wrong on the virtual com port. However, I have found that I can make it stable if I use one of the PC based com port mappers.

That probably won't help you much, Paul.

Have you tried uninstalling any PC suite software you have and installing the version that came with the N73? The USB drivers seem to change in subtle, unpredictable ways over time.

hmm

Yeah, I sometimes try bluetooth if all else fails.

I hate wasting an entire day getting something to work, that should already work.

Tried Bluetooth?

Hi Paul,

Have you tried ODD via Bluetooth? Somewhat counter-intuitively I've found it much more stable than USB. Particularly on older models like the N73 with those awful pop-ports that disconnect if you breathe too hard near them!
