Hi All,
FTP enabled in bluetooth settings on device, but still cannot send file from PC to device. Sending from device to PC works well. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Just to let you know you're not alone. I've got the same exact problem.
Interesting thing. No problems with sending files from another WM device (P525, broadcom bluetooth stack) to my Touch Dual. But still cannot send file from PC (broadcom bluetooth as well)
Try to stick "receive all incoming files" (or something like that) in settings>>> connections. It worked for me.

Hi all,
Not sure whether this has been asked before (I searched the forum for it, but couldn't find any directly related subjects):
Does anyone have problems with receiving files from other phones/MDAs using Bleutooth?
I am experiencing problems with this: I can send files to other devices using bluetooth, but somehow I can't receive any files (it fails every time I try).
I already tried with enabling/disabling the incoming port, choosing a serial profile, etc, but nothing worked.
Does anyone have a a solution?
BTW: my bluetooth connections to my headset and BT GPS mouse all work.
Thanks in advance!
Desmo.
for receiving files from a pc, you pretty much need to have BT turned on that the devices paired. For receiving files from other handsets etc, you need to ensure that your device is discoverable to other devices in the BT settings (start->settings-> connection-> BT make sure both boxed are checked)
HTH

Thnx for the reply, but I already tried that. I put Bluetooth in several modes, on and discoverable. In both modes I could only send data, but couldn't receive data from other sources like another MDA or phone.
I also tried changin the inbound and outbound COM options, didn't work either.....
Can anyone help pls pls?
I have the same problem on my o2 xda exec.
I switch on bluetooth, & make it discoverable by other devices.
I can send files no problem but when i try to receive files from another phone, the other phone says "sending failed" all the time.
Ive tried with an established partnership and without, make my device discoverable, messed with the incoming/outgoing com port settings etc etc
pretty much everything i can think of but to no avail.
Anyone else had this problem and managed to over come it?
Ahah
Sorted it.
If you upgraded to the lastes o2 rom 1.13.188 the accept incoming beams is turned off by default.
Just enable start>settings>connections>beam "enable all incoming beams"
enable bluetooth, make your device discoverable.
Now you can receive files over bluetooth.
No need to mess with com incoming/outgoing ports.
Thnx Sirius-C! That should work indeed.
BTW: 10 types of people in this world. LOL!
Hey,
I flashed my 8125 with Summiter's Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE-RINGRS-OCLOCK.exe.
I have a question now: can I use Bluetooth File Transfer Service with Bluesoleil Bluetooth USB dongle?
If not, is there a way to fix it?
Also I cannot send/receive files (like tones or pictures) via BT... This is really weird since most of BT enabled phones have this option, even the cheapest of them...
Don't get me wrong, but it's kinda embarrasing when a guy shows off with his RAZR sending pictures and stuff and I can't...
HELP, PLEASE....
Ps. yeah... I hate RAZR's...
I am not familiar with that ROM but you should be able to pair with that dongle - just make sure both are discoverable and they should be able to pair. Also you can send files via bluetooth use the inbuilt file explorer and click on file and menu should appear - choose beam file and bluetooth window will appear
Nope... it doesn't... I got only IR...
Need more info to help.
Does your bluetooth go on and is it discoverable? Does blue indicator light flash? Did bluetooth work before flashing with new rom?
Cuz you should definitely be able to bt with file explorer. If not i assume its a rom problem and would suggest trying to flash back to original rom.
Well, the BT itself works well. I use BT earpiece and SellingClicker with no problems.
Yet, I don't have an option to beam anything via BT... Only IR or MMS.
And I have no idea whether it worked with oroginal ROM since I flashed it the very second day I got it... Yeah, yeah... I know... that was stupid...
Anyways, any other suggestions?
I figured out a way how to send files from one phone to the other... (I think, coz I didn't really test throughfuly)
The big question is: how do I send and receive files to the PC without using ActiveSync?
You have to....
...have your bluetooth om and discoverable to be able to send files via bluetooth.
Once you tap "Beam", you'll have to wait a few seconds to see the option to send via btooth. You'll first see just the "Infared" prompt, then underneath it, you'll start to see "Unknown Devices" appear, Unknown Device changing to the actual device name, once you MDA picks it up. Then you can tap to send to that particular device.
So you can do it....I just think it's misleading that it only says "Beam".....

Yes, but when I finally send it to the PC all the PC does is open MS Outlook and that's it...
The way I see it is that OBEX file is nothing else but a "business card" file read only by outlook.
Did you try sending files both ways yourself?
:-(
common guys... help, please..
Just now I was trying to send a 5mb file from PC to phone via the Bluetooth Object Push Transfer. It was working for about 5 min and... nothing... the PC says: Object Push Service is disconnected... on the phone there is nothing. Even the memory status stays exactly as it was 10 min ago... :-(
help, please

Hi,
You'll probably need to start bluetooth via the comm manager.
It will find other hardware with open bluetooth ports.
- Go to the file you wish to beam to someone else.
- Tap the file (keep the stylus on it untill you get the menu)
- Choose " send file" (this might be called differently, my version is dutch)
- Select bluetooth.
Good luck!
Greetz,

it doesnt seem to work
when I beam a file, it never detects a bluetooth. all it shows is the Infared and searching... it searches for a long time but never detects a bluetooth. any other suggestions?

Hi,
The procedure I gave seems to work properly with my MDA.
You could check if the person you're beaming to has bluetooth (turned on) but I guess you've checked that already.
Otherwise try to minimize the distance between the two pieces of hardware.
If that doesn't solve your problem, I can't help you any further, maybe bring it by the shop where you bought it to have it checked?
Good luck & greetz,
Flar
yeah same here never managed to get bluetooth to work
i found that i needed to enable beam recieve in order to recieve on bluetooth, the incoming and outgoing port stuff i left alone.
so i can now receive files but haven't got a clue how to send them, i make a bluetooth partnership ok (my mate can then send me a file) but i can not find the option to send one back. the file explorer menu doesn't have bluetooth listed on it?

I am having this same issue. Anyone know the solution? All I want to do is send some files to my wife's v3 but I cant setup a new outgoing port. I am running the latest official rom from cingular.
You need to ensure you already have bluetooth turned on before starting this procedure (many miss this simple point, as they assume it will automatically turned on)
Tap and hold on the file you want to send, and select "Beam"
Wait a few seconds for it to scan for devices.
All IRDA recipients (If any) will be listed, and below them, all available Bluetooth recipients will be shown.
Hope this helps you m8
I'm using TMobile MDA, newest ROM, and having the same problem, I'm able to recieve bluetooth but there is no option for beaming a file via bluetooth, only IR... and yes, bluetooth is enabled properly and I am properly partnered with a V3...

Make sure both phones are enabled to be "seen" . My friend and I were trying to figure this out the other day, and she has her device set to something like 'make this device invisible' so even though our phones were next to each other, her device wasn't showing up. Once we changed this, both devices were visible.
***However, neither phone was allowing the sending of files to each other thru the bluetooth, and I'm wondering if this has something to do with her having a Sprint Treo 650 w/ Palm OS, and I have Cingular 8125 w/ WM5.... anyone have any answers for this one??***
Thanks in advance.
As the topic says, I can't receive any files using bluetooth from another device. I can send any files to another devices with my o2 mini. My phone name is found on another device, but when I tried to send the file, it failed.
I just got my 2nd hand o2 mini, so I'm clueless. I've tried to install new ms bluetooth stack found in this forum, but still doesn't work.
And I'm also got a problem using activesync via bluetooth, using usb cable the active sync works fine.
I also have this problem, I can't receive files from other phones either! And like you I have installed the new bluetooth stack (aka bluetooth stock) from on this forum.
Yesterday somehow I managed to receive files via bluetooth from other phone (In this case it was nokia N70). But I need to pair the phone first.
EDIT:
I can't receive any files from BT equipped computer, altough I managed to get it succesfully paired. Very strange, my phone can receive files from N70 but not from my PC
Good news, now I can receive any files from any paired devices. I just upgrade the ROM & Radio to version 13 from 12, and now it works.
Hmm.. now it's time to search on how to remove i-mobile branding
goto Settings-> Connections -> Beam
and check if the "Receive all incoming beams" is marked...
Thanks a lot pal, this has resolved my problems.

Thank you so much
Does anybody know how is possible to send files over bluetooth to other phones or computers as in regular mobile phones. Before I installed PDAVIET Rom v 4.0.0.0.5a It was possible but after installing it is no longer possible.
Have checked the incoming beams option.... works for me...
