Your english wasn't too bad however I'm not certain what you want. What do you want to actually do with Bluetooth, copy files to and from your phone? Use your phone as a modem to connect to the internet? Do something with some other device?

It might be easier if you tell me your goal and I can help you from there. If Kbluetooth is letting your search for devices then I'm guessing it's detected your device but just to be sure, type this into a terminal:

Code:

hcitool dev

It'll list the address of any local devices in recognises

Glad to help, you can pick up cheap USB adapters that work fine. I know it kind of defeats the purpose have having it built-in but if you really want to try it that's something to look at. If you make sure to buy a name brand one rather than generic you can be very sure it'll work.
