Sending via Bluetooth from PC w/o rooting - XPERIA X8 General

Please help to find application, which allows to send from PC to X8 via bluetooth (without rooting).

Assuming you have 2.1, this should be fairly straight forward. Just pair the devices and start sending, no software needed.
But if you have 1.6, then I think all your phone can do is recieve files. No sending.

I just tried. With 2.1. I can send files from X8 to PC. But when I am trying to send FROM PC TO X8, my notebook tells me, that there no such service.

Oh. Strange. I an able to send files from my PC to the phone without a problem.

Problem soved. Can send after install of ASTRO bluetooth module

Fun tip: Usually, your phone won't accept .apk files if you send them from your computer or another phone. A way to get past this is to change the extension (For example: SomeApp.apk) to something else, like SomeApp.png. This will be enough to trick your phone into accepting it. When you receive it, just rename it back using a task manager, and install.
Kinda off-topic, sorry.

How to send AT command from PDA over Bluetooth to "normal" phone

Hi All!
I hope You can help me.
I want to send AT-command from my HTC Universal. I want to send SMS over Bluetooth via my Nokia 6288. I tried some programs. EasySMS is work via Irda, but it freezes my Uni when I try to send via BT. I set Com-port, and when I tap "send" it stop working.
I think You can advise me another progam ( i prefer free). Or something like hyper-terminal in WinXP.
The other problem is I can't set com8, com7, etc. only com4 for Outgoing port to my Nokia in my Universal. And when I set this port in EasySMS it freezes. ( I write it below). But It doesn't matter if I can send the commands in other way.
Sorry my English, I'm Hungarian.

Yes, I tried it. After hard-reset I works. After intalling some apps (Total Commander, TCPMP,Opera it doesn't works anymore. If I want request a device information, it says to me, device out of rabge, even the other device is 5 cm close. If I want request again, I get the informations. But when I want to connect again the device out of range... It very cool app, I like it.

Am i stupid?

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...!

BLUETOOH

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.

Send files over bluetooth!!!

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.
-e
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

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
