Nokia 6350 bluetooth connection to PC may or may-not resume after walking beyond range

 

My issue is this:

 

MY HARDWARE / SOFTWARE:

- Nokia 6350 phone

- IOGEAR GBU321 usb bluetooth

- Windows XP on Dell Latitude D610

- PC Suite 7.1.51.0

 

PROBLEM:

PC Suite works fine with my phone if I'm in range. If I walk far away and bluetooth connection is lost, when I return to range, the synch btwn PC and Phone MAY or MAY NOT resume. Most of the time it does, but sometimes it does not.  I've tried to close/re-start PC-Suite to no avail. I've tried to re-detect my phone via PC Suite...nothing.

 

The workaround fix I've found  to resume the PC--Phone connection is this:

 

- On the bottom left of task bar, right click on the bluetooth icon and "Explore My Bluetooth Places"

- Delete "Nokia 6350 OBEX File Transfer"

- right click on the bluetooth icon and select "Quick Connect"-->"File Transfer"-->"Find Devices"-->"Show All Devices"-->select the Noka 6350 (for some reason it's visible here)-->and click "Finish". 

 

Then suddenly, my PC-Suite Icon show connected again and I'm back in business.

 

WHAT is causing this and HOW to fix this permanently ? Something is timing out in PC-Suite.

 

Thanks,

Neel
