Once the cellular emulator came up, I started the device emulator and tried to set the &quot;Serial Port 0&quot; of the emulator to COM3, so that the device and the cellular emulator can talk to each other and that is where it went boom! Threw a message saying something like, &quot;Unable to open COM3, cannot find the file specified&quot;. All my efforts to fiddle with disabling and enabling the bluetooth services went in vain. I tried for about an hour scouring the net to find some info that could help me. I knew that uninstalling the bluetooth software from my laptop (WIDCOMM bluetooth stack) might solve the problem. But I was looking for a work around and saving me the trouble of a re-install. I tried to change the registry settings for the cellular emulator to make it use another port like COM8, COM9, COM10 etc but all failed. I either got &quot;Access denied&quot; or &quot;cannot open file specified&quot; error. And when I finally ran out of options I did uninstall the bluetooth software from my machine. Tried the device emulator, cellular emulator thingy and it worked. I could make incoming calls and send recieve sms&#8217;s. Then I installed the bluetooth software back on. Success! Both BT and emulators are working in harmony (:<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it looks like the magic that made the cellular emulator come up on COM3 in my previous post was not long lived.
