[Bug 376845] [NEW] Selecting channel for SyncMLClient

[kylea]

Public bug reported:

2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04 - Jaunty 64bit

I purchased a new Nokia 5800 - nice phone - and set up Bluetooth -
worked fine for a while (1 Day) and then half the time I had to force a
connect FROM the phone to the PC.

Worked in this mode on and off for 4 days then it stopped, no sdptool
browse response. So restarted the phone, could not transfer the calendar
but sdptool browse <id> worked.

I then checked the output from sdptool browse <id> and noticed that the
SyncMLClient channel had changed from 6 to 5 !!!

So I changed my settings to 5 in the Multisync tool, all good calender
transfer worked.

Next evening transfer failed. So I checked the channel again - and it
had reset back to 6!

Here are some comments from another bug - suggestion is that Multisync
should be able to query the phone (via SDPtool?) and determine the
correct channel.

That's fine. It's not much different to computers changing IP address.
Apps should read the metadata (from sdptool!) and work out the right channel to use.

Sounds like the bug is Multisync requiring you to enter the channel number.
It should work it out automatically. Maybe you could file a bug report for Multisync?
