Unfortunately I can't get it to work with my Nokia 6682 (US version of the 6680). When I try to connect to the NXT I get a message saying: "Lost connection with NXT. Please re-connect."
I was able to get it working with my Nokia N73. The resolution of my screen is 240X320, so the app runs small and in the upper left corner, but it works.
Remote control, program control, data gathering. The photo phunction didn't work on my phone, though.
This makes me wanna play with my legos more!
I did need to pair my NXT to the phone before launching the app.
I tried the app (all versions) on my Nokia 6403 but it didn't work--I got a out of memory error. I think it just might work if they removed the fancy animation. I ran the app in an emulator on my PC and I like it.
Some versions of the app didn't download to my phone successfully. But if I renamed the *.jar to something else (eg, *.txt), the file copied without a problem. When the file was copied to my phone, I rename it to the original file name.
Whats a passkey on the NXT when you try to connect. It asks for it. How do I find it out?
the passkey is chosen when you connect to the phone. default passkey is: '1234' without ''.
Mine connects perfectly to ALL phones, but sometimes it says: "Busy line..." when connecting.
where I can get this application to nokia 6233.. screen resolution is 240*320
The application works really good! I tried it out with a Sony Ericsson C702 and it worked.
