I guess you can see that I am trying to get most of my new phone, computers and technology, thats why I another step was bluetooth and ability to exchange stuff between my computers and my phone.
To be honest, I thought that connecting my phone to my workstation with bleutooth will be a bit more tricky – strangely I didn\’t need to do anything have this done.
What I have is a tiny D-Link Bluetooth adapter (got it for CY15), my phone and KDE Bluetooth package. The installation process is more than easy – apt-get kde-bluetooth and I have software, plug in my D-Link toy and KDE Bluetooth immediately gives a notice than adapter is found and working fine.
There are few ways to send files to the phone: either use kbtobexclient from the KDE Menu (I found it in the Internet submenu on my FC4 box) or use \”Actions -> Send with Bluetooth\” from the context menu while right-clicking on the file in Konqueror file manager.
When sending files from the phone to KDE, you can see a confirmation dialog pops up from KDE Bluetooth applet and an option to save, delete and view the files you are receiving. As simple as that.
Other stuff which I am trying to implement is syncronization between the phone and Kontact. I have tried syncing contacts with vCards, but there are some fields that do not correspond and I tought to write a small script to adjust the vCards so I can sync my stuff.
I found a couple of articles on the web about using SyncML but they are kinda complicated and require some additional movements that I am too lazy to do.
I\’ll see what I can do to simplify the process and if I will ever succeed – will post the solutio here. On the other hand, if someone knows an easy was of syncing contacts, calendar and todo with Kontact PIM – please let me know :)
