SmartTouch: PC Remote Control for Nokia 5800 and N97 now updated
Posted by Norman John in 3rd Party Application, 5800 XpressMusic, N-Series, N97, Nokia
Recenty we introduced SmartTouch, an application for S60 5th Edition which allows you to control your PC via bluetooth. All you need is a 5800 XpressMusic or an N97 as well a bluetooth enabled computer. Back than, users had some issues with this software but now SmartTouch have been updated and it works significant better now. The software you need is absolutely freeware.
SmartTouch v 0.4.1 ( 5800 or N97-client)
Python 1.9.6
SmartTouch v.0.4 (PC-client)
First of you need to install Phython 1.9.5 on your phone memory. Than install the Smarttouch_0.4.1.sis on your phone memory as well. Once you done that, enable Bluetooth on both your devices, run the server (SmartTouch.exe) on your computer and the SmartTouch software on your 5800 or N97. Now, on your 5800/N97, click on ”Search device” and select your computer from the discovered devices. That’s all. Jump over get further information and to see a videos and some screenshots.

Hi,
try to deinstall everything and tha install everything again.
just tried that two times before writing the comment. it says UNABLE MANDATORY PYTHON RUNTIME,,, somethin like that.
ok, now its working, but now nothings happening on my PC. I tried to run the server file, i can see it on the tasbar, but nothing happening with the mobile. I have set the default connection as my pcs name.
thnx in advance mate!
Hey all, I just tried it and it’s working, I was waiting for this program a while now.
anyways, you don’t have to install python and the application in your phone memory, but remember a thing that wherever you install Python, you’ll have to install the application there as well. meaning if python is on your phone mem then the app must be on the phone mem as well and if python is on your memory card then the app must be on your mem card.
remember to set your PC’s bluetooth device to be to allow discovery of other devices (from your PC’s bluetooth’s settings)
Cheers all

— SmartTouch error!!!!!! bluetooth not found!!!!! —-
the bluetooth in my pc seems to work fine also and it recognises the device
and allow it to enter the program.
please if any of you have an idea ?
thanks..
nokia 5800, best phone ever
Like “ido” I have the SAME PROBLEM , The app seems fine on my phone, it starts and says it connects with my pc, but when I try to run the pc server for smart touch it states smart touch error bluetooth could not be found. if i try to start it before or after my bluetooth server it says the same. any clues please ? It looks perfect to operate my jukebox pc.
Does the app need to be run on vista as I´m trying it on XP
Here’s the solution, it works:

Sorry my english…
Somebody can help me?
Got it working now.
Install both Python and smart touch on phones memory, NOT on memory card.
Can anyone get this to work with the N97?. i can connect to bluetooth fine and launch the app but i cant use any of the buttons.
Hi,
I managed to install and run the application on the PC. When it comes to the phone; it would not and guess what; I get an error message saying that the python application is trying to get the list of the latest dialed numbers. Is this some sort of trojan horse trying to get information from my phone?
My program runs but in python it says your screen must be full,normal,larg i tried everything.
Show my Website:
Newest version runs like hell. ST0.45 & Python1.97.
First install Python, restart your phone, then installe ST.
