I've had my X50V about 4 weeks now and was successful in setting up and pairing my Cingular Nokia 6230 (as a modem) with my PDA. It worked fine until I decided to do a hard reset and start clean after playing with the PDA for a couple of weeks.

I recorded all the phone/modem setup info and rebuild/re-entered the modem setup and paired the phone to the PDA - now it will not work.

My symptoms:
1- I can connect with the phone, so it is paired.
2- The phone prompts "Connect with Dell AXIMX50?" and I accept.
3- The next message on the phone is "Connected to AXIM X50"
4- The next message on the phone is "Disconnected: Dell AXIM X50". Note: It cycles through steps 2,3 & 4 twice.
5- The next message on the PDA is "The connection failed and could not be reestablished", I click OK


I have tried:

1) Turning both devices off and try again - did not work.
2) Soft reset on PDA, turn phone off and back on - did not work.
3) Deleted the modem setup and re-entered and paired the phone to the PDA again - again, did not work.
4) Tested my phone as a modem, connected via USB, to my laptop. It worked, so my phone and data service it ok.

Where do I go next????

I am thinking about do a backup and restoring the PDA to a point where the modem worked (two days ago), just to see if there is something in the setup I missed. I don't expect to find anything new, but don't know what else to try.


Any suggestions on where to go next in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Here is what I did (grasping at straws) and the problem was resolved:

1) Turned off both devices.
2) Did soft reset on the PDA.
3) Deleted the modem setup.
4) did a soft reset (don't know why - just trying anything at this point)
5) recreated the modem setup/connection per instructions on this website (like 1st time)
6) turned on the phone. Paired to PDA.
7) tested the modem and it worked!

Conclusion - don't know the orgin or cause for the problem. When in doubt, start from scratch.
