Bluetooth sending of files ??

I know the xda II is not capable of this out of the box... Are there any third party apps that would allow me to do this??

The problem is that the XDA II uses the limited Microsoft Bluetooth stack that came with Windows Mobile 2003 instead of the full-featured Widcomm Bluetooth stack used in iPAQs. The Microsoft Bluetooth stack doesn't support the File Transfer profile nor the Network Access profile. Someone has taken the Widcomm stack from the iPAQ and adapted it for the XDA II. Just search this forum for "BluetoothGPS.zip" and you'll see lots of discussions concerning this. But note that this is a hack.

Hi Jargon, Thanks for the reply.. Would it do my xda II any harm if I download it? or would it mess it up? .. If I download the bluetoth gps thru what software can I tranfser files via bluetooth? Thanks

I haven't used the hack myself (I didn't want to void my warranty). So I can't speak from experience. But you can find the info you need by searching the forum for "BluetoothGPS.zip".

Nah, If it voids the warranty... Jargon, Thanks for the reply again, would you happen to know how to remove application icon/shortcut on the program menu that has already been removed from the system? another thing, I also accidentally auto-configured the phone to the 1010 settings, how can I remove the settings and the app icon/shortcut on the program menu? thanks

Yeah, just launch File Explorer and go to the "WINDOWS\Start Menu" folder. Look for the unwanted shortcut in that folder and in all its subfolders. Then delete the unwanted shortcut and you're done.

You're not alone. I once made the same mistake. To fix it, I used PHM Registry Editor to search and delete the "1010" settings in the Pocket PC registry. Then I manually reconfigured all the connection settings (Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced and MMS Composer options). After that, I removed the AutoConfig icon from the Start->Programs list to make sure I don't make the same mistake again.
I hope this helps.

you bet it helps.. I did it !! I removed the application icons at last. Thanks Jargon. :lol:

the bluetooth tool in here, use for xda2

Is this a software? or something that might void my warranty?
it says on the update improvements that it still cant send files thru bluetooth until the future versions.. can it?

You can send file using bluetooth, just launch File Explorer (don't use Resco Explorer, it doesn't work with Bluetooth file transfer), tap and hold the file you wish to beam, then select Beam File... from the popup menu, just wait for your available bluetooth devices to be listed, then just tap to send the file...

I'm glad to be wrong on this one. I've just successfully transferred a file from my desktop PC to my XDA II via Bluetooth (Microsoft stack). However, I still can't figure a way to transfer a file from my XDA II to my desktop PC. My XDA II can detect my desktop PC but the file transfer always fails.

try this link http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/

I managed to get that file, however I am no nearer getting my pc and xda2 to sync, or send/receive files. I noticed that once the patch was loaded that "bluetooth" option in activesync vanished. My pc can see my xda, however it cannot browse the files or vice versa. Simple tasks should not be this difficult, I have spent a whole day on this, I even used the latest and greatest widcomm software to no avail.

As an addition to the above, I thought I would try to see if I could have better results using an ipaq 3870, within 10 minutes I had Obex file transfer and activesync through bluetooth working. All I managed on the xda2 was to send files to the desktop using right click/beam command. The ipaq software is far better and does almost all the work for the user.

any 1 can get this app to work with wm5

good bluesnarfing app i used on ppc 2003.. the source code is there also..thanks

what exactly does this program do? it sounds like a BTCrawler type of app.. not telling us what it is makes me hesitant to try it...scary!

can any1 help..or knows some 1 up for the task?

so have you tried it yet? did it lock it up? or does it just not work? Sounds like fun to me.. just let me know your experience with the program and i'll give it a whirl..

oh jeez.. it's all c++, and I failed out after data structures ( i blame a foreign teacher combines with way to much weed and beer) and went on to get a psych degree.... sounds kinda scary, there is one executable in there, but im hesitant to try it... or maybe not..

go to yout tube there a demo there.. I used to use it on wm 2003..put it on port 7 and it wrked..on wm5 it doesn't find the ports or open comm mnger..

Are any of you interested in an App that allows you to access your Desktop PC's FileSystem(The complete File System), TaskManagement, etc... on your Mobile Device?

Well, yes!
I'll access only shared folders via Resco Explorer, but it's not very cool...

hi,
you can use HTC Network PlugIn for File Explorer.

actually, im interested in the opposite idea.
i want to access my PPC's whole filesystem, through SMB protocol in my PC (for example: \\pocket_pc\Program Files\Resco\...), using WiFi or even BT PAN...

what I mean is the whole file system... not just the shared folders.
I asked because I'm doing such an app for personal use. So just wanted to know whether I should expand the app.

I think it is a very good idea. Please release the app.

there is a vm network browser u can access the shared drives on ur ppc ...

read this about doing the opposite to what the OP wants (sorry to divert the thread, i actually want to get it back on track by moving discution about this in another thread)

transfering files over wifi.

Does anyone know of a program that can do this? There is one for the iphone called "air sharing" my boss uses it, its pretty handy since i always forget to bring a mini usb cable into work with me and the one i keep in work always goes missing for days at a time.

If anyone can make something like this or knows of anything already out there id appreciate it very much.
^Thanks

You could always run a ftp server on your phone like mochaftp (which is freeware).
Another way, which requires no extra software, is bluetooth ftp, and that integrates well with vista desktops/ laptops.

2 words for you My friend:
Total Commander.
It has a build in LAN explorer(pluginns) that deeply browses you network. Plus you get all the goodys such as cut, paste, move and full access to files over your LAN.
It does work better and faster than the fruitphone crap, and its free.
Greets.

I use Resco Explorer (prefer it to total commander - but it isnt free)
lets you map permanent connections to a network share. and they can be made available to other apps on the phone too.

Resco Explorer has network and file sharing capabilities

Ok, I have total commander but i have no idea how to get this LAN thing working, anychance of a link to some instructions or a video with how to on it?
Thanks

Sorry for borrowing you thread but what about some software that works the other way around? I mean like enabling Wifi on your diamond and then you could access it from your laptop like ad-hoc and then see the files on the diamond from your laptop?

Using Resco or total commander lets him grab desktop files FROM his device, but wont let him easily transfer files TO the device, unlike Airshare.
In fact, to read a network share from your smartphone you dont need any 3rd party software at all. Just go to PIE and type in file://<networkname>/
e.g. file://mydesktop/
in the address bar, and you will be browsing your network shared folders.

I HAVE tested a nice tool . you can get in Windows store :
search for:
Pocket File Manager
it is a real file Manager.... some less fuctions are missing but it is very very nice.. and all they have told me it is impossible.... it is possible how you can see it
it works fine and great .... it can follow: send every file by Bluetooth... you can open every file it is legal docx, rar, zip txt . jpeg, mp3 , mp4 ... realy legal ... it opens what is on the device! !!! and you see a great file structure and you can use skydrive........ everyone who says it is impossible im think that they doesn't try whats possible ...
I have find somtehing interessting

maybeee it should us help to get a Explorer to wp8

Have you looked at the description? It is limited in exactlly the same way as described around here all the time.
Limitation (Please read it!):
Windows phone has some limitations which prevent third party applications from accessing parts of files system. You cannot access video files, music files, Document folder. So, until Microsoft open it, please do not ask us to implement this feature. It is impossible right now.

It can access SkyDrive, FTP servers and it's own private storage. You CAN NOT access the phones Documents Folder and other Folders. You can launch an Office Document and edit it but it will then be saved to the Office Hub and the Explorer Application will still retain the old version prior to editing.
So while this does look like it works around it a file explorer in the way that people are demanding is still not possible.

i have tested the tool ! and it works .... it reads out some lokal files and the complete Photo and Video library!! it is a tool for lokal the link in the link it is development of it that will be release in future
but that what im testing it works everything what im saying.. and it is a file Explorer for local and for skydrive!!!! as i tested some other tool too ... it is a pdf Reader... not the Microsoft one! another one ... it can be read out the pdf files of sdcard and on local phone ... .. so im think it is possible to do a great file Explorer but we have to try it..

http://www.1800pocketpc.com/file-explorer/

Oh boy
I wish it were trued, but it aint.
Second, what Stevie said.

presumption
im think we can use one trick ... srry im not a guy who can much develop
but the idea is maybee great?
if i can Open a file of the Folder of the pocket Explorer so maybee Folder Pocket Explorer\docs\Alice in wonderland.docx in word mobile 365 /15 opend it ... but the Office hub can't find the file if im opened...... but in the functionality it opend................ im think the "lock" isn't realy a lock....... im think it is something like a key in the Windows regestry of wp8 ...that disable the Show of other Folders... but every tool can be Access all the Folders that are on the phone...... if it was a real access lock it isn't be possible to open a docx file in word from a Folder outside it is registered in Office hub ... in the tool it is added the photo hub ...
im think a clever developer shouldbe can solve the Problem without to Bypass the "lock" of MS ... Note ... In Real Windows 8 it has security informations .... but if the locked for some users you can't see the files and you can't opend it.... but im think in wp 8 there isn't this the Problem ... the Problem is it disabled in the regestry to Show something that can be accsess all the Tools

No the developers can't bypass this, as far as I am aware. It isn't just the registry key (you may be right about that one), but the runtime itself does not allow these kind of things. I have been looking for way to break the file associations, and there seems to be none, other than jailbreaking and hacking into system settings.

Yep tested this one today on my new Lumia 520 and it even does not show the music folder -_- ... Stupid limitation from MS.
