Enabling/disabling the user cache
When you enable or disable the user cache you control whether or not your
handheld retrieves the names of remote devices each time the discovery process
takes place. By default, the user cache is enabled. This means that the names of
devices found during one round of discovery are stored in your handheld’s user
cache. The next time your handheld discovers a device that is listed in the user
cache, the device name appears very quickly.
Using cached names saves time, because it eliminates the extra step of retrieving a
name remotely. Disabling this feature is useful only if the name of a remote device
has changed, because it forces your handheld to retrieve the new device name.
To disable the user cache:
1.
From the Bluetooth Preferences screen, tap the Menu icon
.
2.
Select Disable device name cache from the Options menu.
