Using Bluetooth with Symbian UIQ 3 SDK

A super short guide to how to setup a UIQ3 Emulator to use the BT USB dongle
in
Platforms:

Here is in short an info which I've tested and I know that it works:

  1. Download the BT USB driver from Nokia
  2. Install it as explained in the instructions and verify the COM port at which the BT dongle is available (using the sbt.exe tool from BT driver ZIP package)
  3. Use the SDKConfig tool to set the UIQ 3 emulator BT port to the COM port found at the previous step.
  4. Since the UIQ SDK is has a poor UI for more subtle Bluetooth configuration you need to find bt.bt.esk, usually in \UIQ3SDK\epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\Z\private\101f7989\ESock\bt.bt.esk

    You should then mofify the [hci] section in the following manner:
    [hci]
    hcidllfilename= hci_h4.dll    // Here you need to use either hci_h4.dll or hci_usb.dll
    port= 0     // COM1 = 0, COM2 = 1, .... etc. If using hci_usb.dll this number should not matter
    

  5. Restart the EPOC emulator. You might need to go to the phone application and from the setting to choose "Phone On". After that the BT icon should appear in the emulator status bar.

As a matter of fact it is for UIQ (othrewise I would have put S60 in the title instead of UIQ). I've tried it on the UIQ3 SDK and it works without problems.

Have your tried it for yourself. If the soltuion does not work for you, maybe you have a somewhat incompatible USB BT dongle so the driver cannot handle it.

Re: Using Bluetooth with Symbian UIQ 3 SDK

Hello,
I have developed a small bluetooth connectivity application in UIQ 3 SDK. I want to test it on
the emulator. I have followed the tutorial "S60 Bluetooth Driver Installation Guide.pdf" and performed steps 1 to 10.
The tutorial says:
"In the emulator, go to Preferences > PAN (Personal Area Network)."
But for UIQ emulator we do not have anything like Preferences.

Can u please guide me how to proceed further from Installation steps.
