After countless nights and days of figuring out what’s going wrong with my Asus Eee PC, bluetooth dongle, and 3G phone, I have finally set it up successfully. Thanks to all the forums I’ve gone through. I know they all do not have complete and step by step configuration details but they are my only and primary source.
I’m gonna list all the issues I had to let you see if you also have gone through them.
- Bluetooth functions well but cannot connect to phone (wrong passkey)
- Asus Eee PC detects the phone but the phone cannot see the Asus Eee PC (pairing issue)
Can't connect RFCOMM socket: Connection refused
- Pairing was successful but wvdial says Modem not responding.
- a lot more, can’t name them all, builds from one another.

- rfcomm, hcid, (i think these come with bluez-utils)
- wvdial
- root access
- i don’t think I forgot something here…
