Bluetooth File Transfer on Hero 2.1 - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hello, I have a HTC Hero with Android 1.5 from factory, I've tested Bluetooth transfer and it doesn't work at all. Does any1 know if Bluetooth File Transfer works with Hero 2.1 ROM? I'm rooting my phone only to have BT working ... anyone use this application from market? Does it works? At first sight it's cool but can't do anything on my Hero and the dev won't respond.
Thank you!!

Yes it works really well on the HERO21 1.7 Rom
Also allows phonebook sync with my bluetooth unit

So I take it you mean this won't work at all on the stock ROMs?
I'm looking for a solution to get BT OBEX, particularly contacts and V-cards from either stock or MoDaCo 3.

nope only on 2.01 or 2.1 roms for Hero support OBEX. MCR3 is based on 1.5 and doesnt have obex support.

I can launch the program, find devices, do pairing stuff, others are able to find my Hero device, everything works fine. BUT, each time I try to connect with a device it gives me a service search error with a reason: "return false".
So I think it's something related with service search only, then the program will work correctly. NOTE - It works with Acer Liquid driven by Android 1.5
Thank you all

Yes, you are right, it's Android 1.6, sorry
However, doesn't work on HTC Tattoo (Android 1.6) too
I use BT intensively, shame on HTC!

The shame is on Google - they should've implemented more bluetooth profiles when Cupcake (1.5) was released.

JIVETALK for WinMo6

OK BeeJive has released Jivetalk (alpha) for WinMo6.x pro devices
It is truly a marvel on my Hermes(Cingy 8525)
Heres my issue I cannot get it to run for the life of my on my Herald(tmo wing)
I have tried several roms and it wont work
Open Touch, Touch-IT, and another i cant remember at this time
I want some other Wing users to see if they have the same issue also
Also I will post some screenshots to make your mouth water!!
yeah i have open touch 4.0 lite and it doesn't work, fails to startup. when i had the original tmobile rom on my wing, it worked.
The JiveTalk cab of yours work perfectly on my O2 terra, a Herald variant.
Used to use Palringo until today but JiveTalk seems to take over that place, thanks btw
I checked out the Jive site and there you could make a HTC P4350 and a T-Mobile Wing selection.
I'm not sure if this is just a marketing questionaire or a hardware id related question field.
Which version did you pick?
When I login to various IM networks the status messages is "On HTC P4350",
my assumption is that it could be hardware related.
Try if selecting the Wing version makes a differences if not try to use JiveTalk over WiFi,
because your mobile carrier might block the appropriate port via proxy.
CONFIRMED

FLASHED BACK TO TMO ORIGINAL (on my HERALD)
And it worked like a charm
This app is tht HOTT to me
I cant understand why it wouldnt work with the custom roms though
Make a ROM cooker cn shed some light on that
PS: Your Welcome Gambit.
I figure get it while its free!! because one day it will cost $
Im keeping a copy of every version, but i believe on first startup it will authenticate to jivetalks server first so that maybe frivolous
UPDATE
Now WORKING on Binky11's v3.3 ROM (On my Hermes) ALSO!!!
VP3Gv3.62 WORKING
Working on Vp3G 3.62 Hermes ROM!!!
looks like v 0.5.2.13 is out, it is still not working for me on ot4 lite. getting a typeloadexception, anyone have any ideas?

The roms it doesnt work on are because they do not have SQLCE cooked in
Must be "cooked in" for jivetalk to work
Works on all Binky11's ROMS and all vp3G's as well
SQLCE and .NET CF are both required for JiveTalk to work.
I haven't managed to get Jivetalk to work on my phone, after trying to install everything... still errors every time...

Same here. Got .NET CF 2.0, 3.5 and SQL CE installed and still no luck.
Itje's 7.1 ROM was the the last ROM JiveTalk could run properly.
Anybody know how to enable the today plugin for the newest JiveTalk? It's not under start>settings>today>items.
you have to download it separately. after you do that and install it will show up where the normal today plugins show up in that list. it shows up for me.
does anyone know where it saves logs? or how to delete them? i think they are taking up a lot of my memory, i only have 3.2MB left and i am not putting ANYTHING on my phone and cleartemp clears like 500KB
Care to show me the download for the today plugin because it's nowhere to be seen on there site =O?
i couldn't begin to tell you where it is. the only reason i know about it is because when i updated it told me i can either edit a css file (or something) to have it work or install the cab that will automatically add it.
just checked, i don't have the cab anymore.
has anyone gotten it to work with cooked roms?? im using heralds serg's rom?? thanks guys!!
I went back to the OEM and got the today plug-in back. It is working fine on my ROM (for the Kaiser).
i emailed bee jive people and they told me it should work on custom ROMs.
however, i have a tmo wing running on papa black diamond but it doesnt work however many times i tried it. i used to have it on my blackberry and it is really the best messaging software out there
**EDIT - i found a solution to the problem.. follow instructions and install the following from this topic:

Unbelievable...
thanks cbbplanet, I never thought I would ever see JiveTalk running on Papamopps' ROM.
I know it runs out of the box on Itje's, ICP's and tttrans's ROMs, but i never got it to work on this one.
Perfect, you made my day​

Where can I get HTC software that originally came with my device :P?

I have an HTC vogue, with a blank WM6.5 rom on it. I don't want to use a custom one, or brew my own, I like this ROM.
I do, however want the HTC software that originally came with my device (such as the audio manager, camera application, bluetooth manager, comm manager). I have no idea where to get these things. Can someone point me in the right direction ?

I know that generally speaking that software is usually bundled in with the ROM. very few of the HTC apps are available in .cab format. personally i would suggest checking out the ROM's that NFSFAN has cooked up. LOVED his WM 6.1 and 6.5 ROM's before i headed to the Android side of things. Hope this helps!
do some searching on here and ppcgeeks, i know ive seen them before.

Some questions for owners

I want to buy this device but i've some questions:
Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
tnx all and sorry for my bad english..
Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
.flv works but little jumpy, you can use the youtube app, or there is a very good browser called 'Dolphin Browser' that allows .flv to be downloaded to yoru phone as a .mp4 file. cannot tell you about .swf
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Sense UI does not work in landscape mode, everything else does as long as you have the option ticked for auto rotation.
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Yes, you can buy Copilot for £22 for 1 map or £54 for all maps, or just as good AndNav2 works great and is freely available. Plus, GMN may be launched in the near future (fingers crossed)
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
?? Who knows? I woudl imagine at some point but I cannot see it being a priority.
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
Don't know the bugs you are referring to.
thanks for your reply, wilfmoralee!
The Bugs are:
Alarm doesn't work if the device is in standy by, but i've read also that this issue comes only when the sim isn't plugged..
about the BT, it can't transfer files, i've read this in many sites/forum and also in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586700) --> "Doesn't have Bluetooth transfer built in. There's a bluetooth app in the market, but it won't work until 2.0 comes out for the tattoo. Sorry"
Another simple question: can i record a phone conversation in "both sides"? Is there an app or it has an hardware limitation like my Xperia X1 that can only record my voice?
many thanks
i can't find anything in the market that does this, and as far as i know it's not a stock option.
hey
i know the tattoo cant send files over bluetooth but can it receive files over bluetooth?

As ridiculous as it sounds - it cannot.
You can send via bluetooth if u download a app that is called " Bluetooth File Transfer "
It's on the market.

That app is not yet compatible with Tattoo. It needs Eclair to work correctly.
Hope HTC will release the upate soon
Hey!
It's been a month since the last reply in this topic ... any news about those things?
- Blue-tooth problems still there or are already solved (sending/receiving files)?
- GPS Navigation (that doesn't require w-lan connection)?
- upgrading Android 1.6 to 2.1 ... possible?
I would also appreciate your comments about the Tattoo; user experiences - why YES and/or why NO
Bluetooth file transfer will not work. The Bluetooth File Tranfer app does not work with Tattoo on Android 1.6.
I assume most GPS Nav. programs would use EDGE or 3G services rather than WLAN, since you won't be connected to 1 network while you're navigating!
Apparently it's possible, but there has been no documented or official way of doing it AS OF YET.
Why YES to the Tattoo:
It's compact. Good form factor. Affordable for me. Good social networking integration.
Why not:
Bad camera, both for pics and videos. Application compatibility with smaller screen(not all of them work, but most of the apps available on Market work fine). Battery life is less when features like Wi-Fi, mobile internet or GPS is used(as expected from any smartphone).
Can anyone confirm that "hcitool" is working in the terminal? "hcitool dev" should give information about the bluetooth adapter in the telephone. hcitool scan should give bluetooth devices nearby. I need to know this before I order this telephone. Thanks in advance!
"Permission denied"
Thanks, ok this means that root access is required to run hcitool correctly. Did you root your droid?
This is the tattoo forum. Theres no root actually for the tattoo and yes root is required to use this service.
Hello Tattoo comnunity, i´m a owner of a tattoo (PTG), and a i have a friend who´s interesting on a TATTOO, but in english (WWE) , my question is, can he choose the language PTG, and the dictionary in PTG too? PPL who have a WWE can answer that doubt?

Bluetooth on Hero

Hi everyone!
i have my Hero for several weeks now. but i still don't know how the bluetooth works? i can turn it on, search for devices and connect with them.
but i dont see how i can send over a file???
anyone knows how that works??
Greatz
wes
PS: sorry for my english, i'm from the netherlands
Well i guess this will be a bit bummer for you. You can connect a BT headset, BUT file transfer is not working
The only way to get it working is to root phone and use a custom rom that supports BT. (Vanillain?)

It should be said that this is a limitation of Android 1.5 - it doesn't support bluetooth file transfer. Whilst there are some attempts to solve this problem, it should go away entirely once we get the official Android 2.1 update as this has better bluetooth support.

It's not the sort of update that you'll ever find on the Market - it's a complete new version of the OS (Android 2.1).
Not every phone is getting OS upgrades, but HTC have announced that Hero will be getting 2.1 and currently evidence seems to suggest it will be released some time in March.
If you keep an eye on these forums, you'll know pretty much instantly when 2.1 for Hero is available.

Dave
thanx!
hope it comes soon cause i want my BT to work!
will HTC make it's own 'sense' like the TF3D in the android system on the Hero?

[Q] CM7+HTC system stuff

Having searched all the forum HD2 android, i can not find a ROM like android 2.3+HTC System stuff but without sense.
The ideal is to enjoy the system 2.3.3 and the HTC's USB connection Menu.
Can anyone help me?
By USB stuff, do you mean HTC sync, cos no, there isn't, it requires HTC sense.
Yeah, it's not possible to have 2.3 and anything got to do with HTC (yet).

seems the only way is 2.3+myphoneExplorer to sync outlook.
Another problem is the usb tether in android 2.3 never works with my HD2.
