2. Signal details are being reported by Blueman-Manager. I have tried it with the version of Windows XP that came with the laptop and I can connect to the 'phone and send a file to it. During this process a window pops up on the 'phone asking if I want to recieve the file. I get no such response when using Debian/Blueman so I assume the 'phone isn't recieving a request it can understand or not recieving the request at all.
As far as performance being impacted as I can't do anything with it yet there is no performance. :-)) To avoid any misunderstanding - it's an Android 'phone not an iPhone.
Surely both Android and Debian should have good debugging tools available. Off-list, someone suggested I might have been thinking of bluez-hcidump for debian: http://packages.debian.org/bluez-hcidump I don't know Android enough to suggest a tool for that. I had a problem with the Bluetooth/Gnome things being broken in the default installation of a recent version of Debian, but an upgrade had them working until I changed phone recently, so make sure you're current. Other than my session-watching idea, maybe someone else has tips. Hope that helps, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op.
