Free using bluetooth software for linux

Mobi is software which is designed to provide access to a Un*x machine using a Bluetooth-enabled SonyEricsson phone.
A simple menu file is used to define a menu structure. Menu items can be tied to arbitrary shell commands or external programs, maximizing flexibility. Menus can also be loaded from programs rather than from files, meaning that dynamically changing menus are easy to realize, e.g. to browse a filesystem, an MP3 collection or a mail folder.
Mobi connects to any phone within its reach which passes the Bluetooth authorization process (usually by providing the correct PIN number). If the phone gets out of reach, Mobi will reconnect once it is found again. The number of simultaneously connected phones is restricted only by hardware capabilities.
Mobi uses the accessory menu of the phone. This feature is present in most SonyEricsson phones. It is tested on a T610, but should work on T68, T68i, T610, T630, Z600, and perhaps other models.
The accessory interface has been completely redesigned for newer phones (K750, W550, W600, W800, Z520), but I am not able to implement this since I do not have access to one of those. For the P800/P900, there are different solutions.
Enhancements:
- No phone reset on connect, since it may end a call in progress.
- Improved installation scripts (using autoconf/automake).
- Menu files may now recursively include other files.
- Improved music playback scripts. Makes it much easier to support other players.
- Reloading the menu file will not do a full reset, but only replace the menu.

GNOME Bluetooth control remoto (AKA GBTcr) It is meant to be a fast and functional remote control for GNOME Desktop working between a Sony Ericssons phone mobile (maybe others) and computer box using Bluetooth comunication protocol.
Main features:
- Realtime control by plugins for:
- Music player. (beep-media-player, xmms)
- Video player. (mplayer, totem, xine)
- Slideshow software. (ooimpress, magic point)
- Image Viewer. (gthumb, gqview)
- Mouse and Keyboard events.
- Nice and HIGgy GNOME gui GTK+ based.
- Notification Area Support (Tray Icon)

LightBlue is a cross-platform Python Bluetooth API. It is available for Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and Nokias Python for Series 60 platform for mobile phones.
Main features:
- Device and service discovery (with and without end-user GUIs)
- Standard socket interface for RFCOMM sockets
- Sending and receiving files over OBEX
- Advertising of RFCOMM and OBEX services
- Local device information
Version restrictions:
- findservices() and selectservice() on Python For Series 60 returns only RFCOMM and OBEX services
- Avoid threading on Mac OS X, as the underlying IOBluetooth and IOBluetoothUI frameworks are not thread-safe
- No cross-platform set of socket options
- Sockets (the native PyS60 API sockets are used, so their restrictions are inherited - but I havent used PyS60 1.3.8 yet so Im not sure about that)
- sockets on Python For Series 60 cannot be created in one thread and used in another
- fileno() raises NotImplementedError on Mac OS X and Python For Series 60
- timeouts not supported on Python For Series 60: settimeout() raises NotImplementedError, gettimeout() returns None
- non-blocking mode on PyS60 works for send() and recv but not accept() or connect()
- No socket options on Mac OS X, and flags arguments (e.g. for recv) have no effect
- socket security cannot be set (PyS60 implementation sets this to AUTH by default)
- Error codes for exceptions are platform-independent. In particular, the Mac OS X implementation can return IOReturn error values from the IOKit framework, and OBEXError codes from < IOBluetooth/OBEX.h > for OBEX operations.
Enhancements:
- The PyS60 3rd Edition binaries have (really) been fixed, and gethostaddr() and gethostclass() should also be fixed for PyS60 2nd Edition FP2 and FP3.
- Since its getting more difficult to build for PyS60 1st Edition, this build has been dropped for this version -- which isnt an issue for this release since there are no new features -- but there wont be any further builds for this edition. If you need to compile LightBlue for 1st Edition, feel free to email me with any issues.
- Fixed functions on Mac OS X build that wait (e.g. finddevices(), recv() for sockets) so that they dont busy-wait and hog the CPU.

With ToothMote application you can control Linux computers using a BlueTooth enabled cell phone.

This program provides a basis for communicating with a connected cell phone, and then uses a plugin architecture to easily expand the amount of functionality it provides.

BlueamaroK is an amaroK script that controls basic functions of the amaroK player with a SonyEriccson mobile telephone through a bluetooth connection.

Using:

Pair your PC and phone, run rfcomm to bind the connectio to a serial device, for example /dev/rfcomm0, and run BlueamaroK.

bluexmms XMMS plugin is my first foray into personal area networking (PAN).

I have a Sony Vaio PCG SRX51P/A and an Ericsson T68i phone (update: now I have a T610 and it works with that too :p), which both have builtin bluetooth. I often use my laptop to play mp3s through my headphones, but sometimes I want to wander around with the lappy in my backpack, whilst still listening to music.

bluexmms is my answer to this dilemna! By using the bluetooth protocol, and the extended modem command set for the T68i, Its possible to register a bluetooth accessory for the phone which controls XMMS.

Other ericsson phones should work too - the t68i, T39m, T610 and T630 have been reported working so far.
