Is there anyway to automatically "pair" a phone & my mac?



Can this be done with Sony Ericsson Clicker?



it's slightly bothersome to re-pair every time you come back... [from school, work, etc.]

    This should work automatically. Check your phone to make sure the "Bluetooth Operation Mode" is set to ON and not AUTOMATIC.



    If that doesn't work, delete the paired devices from both the computer and the phone. Then re-pair by using the phone to find the computer. In the past this has worked better for me than using the Mac to find the phone for some reason, although since 10.2.5 I don't have any problems.

    gotcha. that's what I was doing, but having bluetooth on 24/7 makes the battery die quick



    i was hoping there's another way......



    thanks for the info.

    Wow, I've never been able to run my T68i's battery down... it seems to last forever.

    with the stock battery?



    mine will last days if I don't have bluetooth on.



    but with it on, it dies quick. or @ least from what i remember.



    maybe i'll retest this ...
