I need help with infrared device

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

you should leave your Device Adapter at its default settings, and really, your phone should remain at its default settings, if your phone has IR, then there is a piece of software out there designed specifically for your phone, download that and you should be good to go.

I'm almost posotive that Sony makes a sync program that is kind of like a suite, you select your phone from maybe a drop down list and it configures it for you, I don't have any Sony phones though so I can't even check.

they key to infrared is that you have to keep the device and the reciever like, right next to each other, and I mean right next to each other, whenever I transfer pics from my brother's phone they device and the adapter have to be practically touching.

the real thing to understand here is, Why did you pay that much money for a phone that has Bluetooth, but you're using IRDa? if given the choice of taking the phone apart, and manually extracting the files and then importing them into my computer, or using IRDa I would pick self extraction every time.

Switch to bluetooth dude, no configuring, you can use it up to ten feet away, you don't have to aim your device you don't need any third party software and it only costs like 25 beans for an adapter.

Well, good idea on letting it be at it's default settings cause seems like i've finally overcomed the first barrier. Getting it to detect. So, yeah.. it's detected and i need to find a software that lets me connect to my phone... FMA(float's mobile assistant) still doesnt work and although it can detect my phone, but it fails to connect...

i cant afford a BT adapter cause 25 beans for you all means RM120++ for me. Unless you all want to paypal me money at phillys@gmail.com

Much will be appreciated :D

By the way, what program should I use to sync stuff(graphics, ringtones, themes) to and fro for my T630? Seems like Sony Ericsson Communication Suite requires MS Outlook and I dont have that and it seems to sync stuff like calendars and contacts. Are there any better alternatives? FMA doesnt want to succeed in connect, FYI..

Firstly, you might want to wait before installing FMA, that's quite a complicated software. Get your basic connection up first. What kind of IrDA adapter are you using (make/model). Have you checked out their website for support or trouble shooting? Sugarbear is right, you should leave everything in default setting, messing with those will likely make things worse. Is all else fails, try asking this problem in the Esato forum. Esato is THE forums for all SE products.

Here's the general forum: http://www.esato.com/board/viewforum.php?forum=2

and here's a special Malaysia thread on Esato, which incidently the author of FMA usually posts here as well (he's a malaysian u know)... http://www.esato.com/board/viewforum.php?forum=32 (click on the Malaysia thread)

other than that, I can't really help you...'cause I use bluetooth.

Thanks, kray...

I still couldnt find any help on my IrDA adapter made by "Circle Data" and with the model name Ir01. I've also updated the drivers to Sigmatel4200, dated 11/3/2003

Is there any other programs to transfer stuff to and fro? Currently, the one with 'progress' is FMA cause it can detect my T630. it's just that it wont connect...
