I've been reading and searching all over trying to get information on how to connect a phone via bluetooth but seem to be stuck on what to do next. I have my HCI0 up and was able to scan for the phone. I run the command $hciconfig cc [phone-mac-address] on the phone it prompts to set a code which I set like any other bluetooth device. The problem is the laptop just sits there like its trying to make a connection with out the key. Am I missing a command before or options with the cc that is causing the connection to not be established?
I found that when setting up a PAN over bluetooth I had to rename/move the /usr/lib/bluetooth directory.
Maybe just one or two files there that cause a problem (I think bluetoothd-service-network) but the blanket approach worked for me.
You may also need to edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth.conf
