Do you have other bluetooth devices to determine where exactly the problem =

with the non-reliable bluetooth connection. Can you reproduce this with oth=
er=20
devices? Is the bluetooth connection with other services reliable? For=20
example Obex.

Root access for bluetooth connection shouldn't be required.
What does syncml-obex-client return if you run syncml-obex-client as non-ro=
ot=20
user?

=46or usb i would recommend to add an udev rule. There is a description in =
the=20
obex-client guide:
http://libsyncml.opensync.org/wiki/obex-guide
In section "Usage".

Maybe your bluetooth problem is related to the wrong configuration.
The <type>5</type> means USB connection - or did you copied your usb=20
configuration? For bluetooth you should change <type> to 2.

Maybe "calendar" in lowercase works...

Thanks for reporting and testing!
