Hey guys i want a program that can send ANY file on my DESIRE. i know that we can send music images and video but let's say i have an .apk on my sdcard i cannot send it using neither astro nor estrongs file managers and i couldn't find a way. is there any file manager that can send any file over bluetooth?????
Have you tried the "blue tooth file transfer" app? It's in the market.

work without application.
Juste lunch server FTP in blutooth parametre @desire.
I've had problems with this as well.
I've tried it without any extra app, just the btooth on the phone and it won't work. I have the FTP Server checked to be on and after I've paired with a mate's phone, I try to send a file and it complains that the OBS protocol or whatever is not enabled on the receiver's phone.
I have had luck using the app from the market, "Bluetooth File Transfer" (green/orange icon) but again, I often get the same OBS or OBT protocol error.
very annoying - I just want to grab a file and btooth it to a friend's phone. It really shouldn't be so difficult.

I do have EXACTLY the same problem! I tried it today with 4 different phones (motorola, 2 siemens and nokia)! If someone wants to send me a file via bluetooth it works like a charm but when i tried to send something to another phone it doesn't work.
Is this some kind of a software bug in Desire's ROM or what the hell is going on here?
Beside of this the phone is freakin fast compared to my old Polaris
i dont know what you guys are doing but the bluetooth works fine. just sent a photo from desire to my girlfriend`s old samsung. works like a treat. just have ftp enabled in the advanced settings
OBS protocol or whatever is not enabled on the receiver's phone.

Explorer by Speedy Software
Hi,
I've just tried it with 'Explorer app' by Speedy Software which is in app market. It works flawlessly. Sent a 'apk' app to my Nokia E71 just to test and it works.
Same here, when I try to send a file via bluetooth it just fails...

This is exactly the point, the OBS protocoll IS ENABLED on every phone i tried with!
Pardon my ignorance, but I thought that Bluetooth file transfer was not possible in non-rooted phones... isn't that so?
No, why would it only be possible on rooted phones. BT file transfer is a feature that most dumbphones have (recent anyway).
I've seen mentioned somewhere else in a long discussion that obex file transfer wasn't supported on current android versions but could be implemented in the future... coming from WinMo I was a bit surprised at this but I suppose it isn't so then...
still, I haven't been able to send files over Bluetooth, but I have indeed managed to receive them
don`t know, but i can send to and receive from other phones any my notebook without any special apps and complications. i can even play audio though bt to the laptop without any stuttering.
I just made some different tests with my desire and found a solution (at least for sending photos and videos)
After a clean Boot and the first time to use Bluetooth open HTC photo viewer. While flipping through the pictures you have at the bottom some buttons, one is for sending data via bluetooth. With THIS button i can send photos or videos to other phones.
But when i start for example Astro manager and want to send data with this program it just cracks up and nothing will be send! After this has happened the whole "bluetooth thing" on the Desire does not react anymore
If you want to turn bluetooth off the only solution is to restart the phone and turn off bluetooth afterwards!
To avoid this fault you should not try to send data through other programs except the HTC photo viewer!
Receiving data is never a problem!
Hopefully there will be a patch or so in the near future because this is totally ****! I do not want to only have the possibility to send photos and video

That is exactly what just happened on my phone too. I can also add that sometimes sending files from the gallery right after boot doesn't work with one of my computers however this kind of behaviour is common to other devices too...
[EDIT] I've also tried with the application bluetooth file transfer without success
guys you lost me on this one....i don't have problem sending the default items: movies videos images music........i have problems when i send ALL the other file types....apk, html for example and any file except media ones!!!
I've a problem sending any file type including images from anywhere but the gallery. so you can send images from astro or other file managers ?
[Edit ] you know what? I've tried that again and I actually can send 'normal' files from anywhere... trying to send any other file type doesn't show the option and trying to use bt file transfer resets the phone !
so I'm back at your issue
Quick update:
-Installed 'Explorer' from the Market and now I can send any file type. Thanks kepz
-Obex file transfer actually works ok now, I can browse the sdcard from my computer
-after installing "Bluetooth file transfer" and playing with stuff (BT Remote control apps as well) sometimes when trying some BT services the phone reboots. If I stay clean of those services no problems
-I still can't use the phone as a remote control for the desktop
Same here with BT File Transfer App.
I have 2 Desires, very very often (nearly every time) the phone reboots when trying to send or receive a file. It worked once, but never again, after the 6th reboot in a row i unistalled the app.
The integrated BT thing in ESExplorer works sometimes (not very often)
edit: i have absolutely no problem with sending files from my computer to desire, this works 99,9%! only phone to phone = insta reboot

I try to send pictures to nokia 6600 and I don't know how??? I can set up bond for nokia 6600 and received the pictures. Is anyone know how to send pics by using bluetooth filesharing on XDA II?
hey mate,
last time i did this; transfer files to a nokia phone, was like april. so i'm a little rusty but i'll try to remember what i did.
basically i turned on my bluetooth and my friend did the same. i then used the xda2's infared app; if i remember correctly when i tried sending him the file the ir didn't work but rather the bluetooth took over. thus i DO remember being able to send him pics and wav files. another thing i also did was used file explorer. go to the file you want to send; then put your stylus on the file name but don't release it (don't lift your stylus); after around 2-3 seconds a small menu should appear with the options: cut, copy, rename, delete, send via email, beam file and set as today wallpaper (if it's a pic). click on beam file; i think this goes back to the first explaination i did where i used the ir app. again; instead of the file beinng sent via ir; the bluetooth app takes over and the file gets sent. as long as the bluetooth apps in both devices are working; it should be able to send. oh; before i forget when you're about to send; the app will search first for all available devices. when you see you're friend's profile you then click on it. if i remember there'll be a button "send file" or something; you then click on it and wait for a few seconds. confirmation should be seen on your screen and possible a sound on your friend's phone. hope that helps.
cheers

Hi Guys.
What software do you use to send files via bluetooth?
I believe the default file explorer cannot do this and I have tried GSFinder but couldnt see how to do it in that either.
I know its possible in Resco, but i wanted something a bit more light weight if possible and it is not free.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I send a BT file using the default file explorer. Who told you it can't do the job ? I even had problems sending a file using Resco file explorer, it won't let m send any file, I get error message.
How do you send files via Bluetooth in the normal file explorer? I can see options to Beam file, send via mms and email. when I choose beam its to do with Infra Red.
When I use Resco I had no problems, chose send then by what method.
Thanks for your reply.
You select the beam file option from the menu, then wait, it will first try to send via infrared then will look for bluetooth receivers in the area. I just found this out the other day myself. I also think you need to have receive all beam types checked also (which I think is the default) [Start/Setting/Connections/Beam].
I have problems sending files from a PC to the Wizard... how do you use bluetooth to send it over?
Can we send files from a PC to the wizard using bluetooth? Is there any other way to manage files on the PDA without activesync?

You are quite right! I chose that option and only saw the infra red option, my tip to anyone wanting to do this is activate bluetooth, ensure other bluetooth device is close and the press beam, it will search and find the bluetooth device!
Thanks tekknogenius
U can beam files via infrared only to windows and windows mobile devices!!!! I noticed this yesterday...U cant transfer files through infrared to other phones like nokia and sony ericsson...and microsoft themselves are accepting this fact...take a look at this link........

Me thinks you need to read a bit more carefully.
The issue in question affects WinCE v4.2, not WM5.
And if you test sending files back and forth between a Wizard and another device, you'll see it works just fine. I've done it with a SE T616 no problem.
So no, it's not a major bug in the Wizard.
Hi Roshan...
U need to read more here...but just for yr information get hold of a 3rd party software called as Resco Explorer and u can very well send files from IR/BT as well to any of the phones...
Pls note that some of the Nokia/Samsung/SE phones hv IR only to be used as a Modem on IR and not FTP is allowed..so in that case they won't accept the file from IR..
I hope this solves yr prob.

Nope, I sent all my contacts from an SE610 to the 8125 via IR, so it is not only windows. Reason I did this? Couldn't get BT to send more than 1 contact.... Go figure.

I don't think it's been relevant for years, but there's also PeaceMaker:

You can send all contacts through BT. Install the attached cab file on your device. In contacts, tap and hold on a contact. In the pop-up menu there is now an option to select all contacts. After all contacts are selected, tap and hold again and choose send contact. It should then beam all contacts by BT to another device. Mind you, the cab only works once, you'll have to soft reset to get the "select all contacts" option working again.
hmmm...
Has anyone tried to send a jpg file from HTC wizard to a symbian operated phone...like nokia 6260,3230.....or nokia6111 , sony ericsson t610....i tried all these phones but not possible...infact i tried with my friends htc wizard and faced the same problem....
My device configuration is like this
Model:O2 xda mini s
Rom version:2.21.4.1WWE
rom date:3/9/06
radio version:02.07.10
protocol versio:413.1.03
Extended rom:2.21.4.101
JPEG file via IR...to a symbian...better send via BT...but...I can't tell u bcos I can't recall as how many times I hv done that....I had used Nokia 3650 and iPAQ 1940 for a years time
U need to check the way u r doing
I tried to send from a wizard to and from a SPV C500 with no joy - but it seems to be the C500 lacks the software to beam or send it by bluetooth.
I have received pics from a Sagem MYX6 and MYX7 and a Sanyo S750 (which has wonderfully set out menus controlling a phone that does not work!)
Do you have ative the transfer option in connection tab?
This is necessary if you want transfer any file trow IR or BT.
checked everything...
my settings are all proper........enabled accept all incoming beams...now i am seeing that sending a file(jpg) to se610 through bluetooth is also not possible :-( file progress bar in se610 hangs in the middle of transfer....
I know that bluetooth is always there...but when we have paid so much then everything should work right...
the only problem is with sending it from htc wizard to any other device....receiving is not a problem!!!
have had a few problems with sending mp3s via BT to new nokia phones..IR works without any problems but is very slow
Hella all
First post
Got my HD love the Phone, but i have a slight problem, when i recieve Files via Bluetooth/Beam they dissapear into the abyss, i cannot find them anywhere, i have tried the search programme and traweld through every directory on my phone what if anything am i doing wrong?
slp
/Documents maybe ?
You are lucky to start ur WM experience with a device like HD
Nothing in /documents, i tried again today, wrote down the file name before it was sent so i couldn`t go wrong, did a search for the file, nothing found, its driving me mad
If you're using a programme like 'obex inbox' which lets you specify where to receive bluetooth files and if by chance you haven't configured it or configured it to receive files to 'My Device', then I believe you'll get the kind of behaviour you're describing. So, to check if you have obex inbox installed check in settings\connections and also in programs if it is there, and if it is, change the directory for receiving files.
Hopefully this should provide you some clue as to what might be going wrong...
Good Luck
Try /FTP in the storagecard. And to check if your phone received try sending an mp3 file then go to Music and click on Library > All Songs and your phone should search for every mp3 file. If the file couldn't be found there, then that means your phone failed to receive it!
Try DrYar bluetooth. It works much better, lets you specify incoming directory, and it installs an icon on main screen for quick bluetooth on/off . I had a lot of problems on my Hermes with default bluetooth also, and this is just so much better.
DrYar bluetooth
very quick silly question, cos i had a friend with the same issue.
When you are recieving the beam, you get the icon at the top. and when it has finished beaming, it is not yet saved, so you cannot access it. Now normally you should get a notification that you have received a file and ask you if you want to save it.
If the notification does not appear, tap the beam icon at the top and then it should.
tap yes and then it should appear in my documents or the folder you set in bluetooth FTP.
If it's not that, sorry for being daft, but you'd be amazed how many times i've been asked that on various different HTC phones...!
Dis might sound like a nood question but! is dere any possible way to root the mt3g to send ring tones threw bluetooth?
Before Rooting Try using this app from the Market for free ,
It worked great for me and doesn't require root to use it
its not what i want! i wanna be able to recieve files from other phones with bluetooth
The app I receommended allows you to receive and send without root , Don't Bump it until you've tried it !
i tryed but it only works with other phones dat have dey same program
The app worked for my Magic, sending file is normal but if you want to receive file, you have to browse for the remote folders on YOUR handset, instead of the other side "sending" to you.
they don;t have to have the same Program , I sent and received successfully with my brothers Sony ericcsson..........
I have a new MT3G and I downloaded that app.
I am running an eeepc with ubuntu 9.10 Beta
I can get both devices to see each other and passcode with each other, but the phone just can't see any files or anything. Settings on phone say, Paired but not connected.
Inside the file transfer app, it finds my laptop but when I click on it after pairing, it says no OBEX ftp suppport. I already have OBEX drivers installed on the ubuntu laptop.
Any ideas?
Bump for helpage.
