jcguy 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2005 I want to send images and pictures on my mobile phone to my PC using my phone's infrared function, but I'm not exactly sure if my PC has infrared support. My phone has infrared support, I've downloaded and installed the file manager software from Sony Ericsson's website, but when i turn on infrared on my phone, there's no connection still.My PC is a HP Pavilion 8612 bought in 2000 (i think). I'm not sure if it has a infrared transceiver or receiver thing. I checked out Device Mangager in Control Panel, there's no infrared. Anyone has any idea if HP Pavilion 8612 has a receiver for infrared signals?Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're on Windows.. you;ll want to gheck in your control panel if there;s an infrared device.. since you already have checked hardware devices and you do not have a IRdA device.. I'd suggest you acquire one.. While I was on windows.. I bought a BAFO IrDA USB dongle (a small thumb sized infrared device that fits into your USB port).. Windows automatically ID's it and the device worked quite well with my Sony E mobile phone.. ( Don't forget to align the IrDA port on your phone with the IrDA device.. that means that they have to be facing each other.. about 5 cms apart is good).. Now I've gotten myself Linux.. the dongle is not automatically identified.. my external USB CD writer is not being identified .. my USB flash card reader is not being identified.. so I'm busy doing a bit of investagiting.. :-)hope you get a good infrared device... All the best.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
