Bug Description
Syncing with my nokia N9 via bluetooth worked out of the box when I got it a few months ago. I then upgraded from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, and now it doesn't any more. The "Sync" dialogue box is much the same, but when I try to sync I get a red box saying it can't connect to the server. Seems this might be a bluetooth bug. I remove the phone and re-paired it, but the sync still fails and when I try to browse files in the bluetooth menu the bluetooth icon disappears.

In the bluetooth control window ("gnome- control- center bluetooth") I can select my phone. It's listed as paired, but the "Connection" switch is off and locked in that position. I don't understand what that means, maybe nothing. If I click "Browse Files..." nothing seems to happen. If I click "Sync" I get the red box. I tried re-installing gnome-bluetotth and bluez, but that didn't change anything. The phone certainly considers itself paired with the laptop.
