Resco Explorer BlueTooth File Transfer

A workaround to enable Resco Explorer BlueTooth file transfers.
Uncheck Use IrDA via OBEX under General Options.
Select the file for transfer and choose Send To - Infrared Recipient...
This will take you to the Beam File... (Beam) screen similar to the one when you want to transfer files using IrDA / BT in File Explorer.
If the Xda II and the target device BT is enabled detection and transfer as per normal.

Took me a couples of days to figure that out too..
Good post.

Great, I was expecting someone to find something for resco explorer
Thanks

where can I download the resco explorer from?
I am using i-mate PDA2K with Windows 2002 but I couldn't send any bluetooth
message so far?
i use the file explorer to browse the vailable bluetooth devices near to me
but it's just showing Searching and nothing happens after that?
what is the problem?

Sending files via Bluetooth in JAM?

How to do so by file explorer??
AS u know Microsoft protocol for Bluetooth is so restricted even it can't send file via bt!
Is there any 3rd party prog. that solve such problem??

Yes, there is a program available.
The excellent Resco Explorer 5.2, allows Send by BT, earlier versions only supported Send by BT on iPAQs.

Very good value for money.

From File Explorer just tap and hold on the file and then select beam file from the pop up menu. Remember to switch on the BLuetooth first.
Of course you can send files via Bluetooth with MS stack!!!!

Total Commander for PPC (link below) - free and allows beam (IR/BT etc) from Total COmmander interface (which is like file explorer)

yogioz how kan you send file by BT in Total Commander? I can send only by irda :roll:

Mate - you use beam in file explorer (TC fixes this). Beam will use irda or BT - provided you turn your BT on first. You will get irda and below that is searching. The 'searching' is looking for BT......

Are you guys saying that without TC you could not get BT to work from File Explorer? I never installed Total Command and have been sending files via BT from File Explorer since day 1 of my magician!

File Explorer - how to - "Send via Bluetooth"

Hi. How do I send a file via Bluetooth ? I paired with another mobile (Nokia - symbian OS) but I still can't find a way to send any file. In File Explorer it gives me options like "send via email" or "beam" - but no Bluetooth option.

The native file explorer doesn't support bluetooth sending. You should try some 3rd party file-explorer. I use Resco Explorer. I just upgraded to the latest version (Resco Explorer 2005) and i must say, it really works like a dream. And you can send files using bluetooth.
However, Resco Explorer is shareware. If you want freeware, you can also look for other good file explorers like 'Total Commander' and GS Finder, although they don't have all the extra usefull features that Resco Explorer give.

The built in explorer WILL send file via bluetooth. The "Beam" will search for all IR and Bluetooth devices. Just hit beam and wait, you will see the devices ID address come up first then there ID name will appear. Then just tap the "send" command next to the device ID your sending to.

I tried the beam - it searches only for Infra devices - not bluetooth. It doesn't even list the paired devices.
I installed Resco Explorer - and it does give me an option to send a file through Bluetooth from that.
*edit*
@ampda
Ok. He is right. It does search for bluetooth in Beam option also. Thanks. Works great.

I'm using version 5.1 of Resco Explorer but it seems to don't even recognize the bluetooth: :?

Where are all the bluetooth functions (esp. File Transfer)?

The only bluetooth functions I get on my MDA Pro are Headset and Serial Port. I'm desperate for File Transfer... does anyone know how to get it? Thanks!

They are there, just not visible..
Try sending a file to your Universal through BT, and it shall recieve it..
Make sure that the beam settings are "Accept all inncoming"

if you use the inbuilt file explorer on any file, you can press and hold, then select beam file. if bluetooth is on, it will:
1. search the infra red port
2. Search all surrounding devices with bluetooth on, and discoverable.
then you can just select where you want it to go.

Transfer files using bluetooth
Does anyone know how I could transfer a file from my Qtek 9000 to my Nokia N70 (Symbian OS) using BLUETOOTH. When I pair the two I get "Dialup networking” only I cannot find a way of transferring files from one device to the other. Please include step by step instructions if you know how.
Thanks

1. Enable Bluetooth on both devices;
2. Open File Explorer, go to the desired file, hold the stylus down (like right click on a PC) and choose "Beam File" (this works with Bluetooth as well as Infrared)
3. Choose Nokia N70 or its assigned device name when you see it on the list

File sent as a message not as a files transfer
Yes thanks i tried doing what you suggested, but it sent the file from the Qtek 9000 to the N70 -> recieved it as a message and i could not save the actual file anywhere on t he N70?

Well, what does the message look like? What type of file are you trying to transfer? I would expect you be able to save an attachment or something similar. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the Symbian OS.

Either I'm doing something stupid here, but.. if I send a file from my desktop to my MDA Pro (BT enabled, accept incoming beams enabled) I just get a message saying 'ftp service not found on target device'
If I explore available services I can see DUN and Voice Gateway... am I missing something?

Im very familiar with symbian OS but new with PPCs so should be able to help!
Install a file explorer such as fexplorer onto your n70. Fexplorer on the root page has a mail option, and when you enter it, you can see all the files recieved via btooth/mms. Copy the file and paste it to your desired location using fexplorer. Alternatively, if the file explorer you use doesn't have the "mail" option on the home of the sw, visit x:/system/mail (x= c or e depending on where messages are stored) and browse throygh the folders until you find the attachment and paste it to where you want.

Thanks
Thanks very much, i did what you said, but the mail opton was not there, instead i found the Inbox directory and there was what i was looking for, so thanks again...

I don't know if anyone remembers the old widcomm bt versions on blueangel, but u used to be able to browse other devices and stuff, well, I'd like to be able to do this, I miss this function....

something like this? http://www.silentservices.de/btCrawler.html

Browse and BT transfer data from deviceA to deviceB
I check BtCrawler it does not let you transfer files between device, what i am looking for is something like a file explorer where (once two devices are connected via BT) then one can copy files (using a fileexplorer type of interface from one location in device A to another location in Device B. Veyr easy stuff really but cannot do it anymore in Qtek 9000 WM5, whereas in my Blueangel WM2003 i used to have that exact functionlity, and i used to do it by transfering files from my Cellular camera to my PDA.

OK, got you this time. WM5 only supports Obex-Push (trabsfering V-Cards and stuff). It currently does not support Obex-FTP which is exactly what you are looking for. Maybe some future updates from M$ will add this functionality, so I hope...
cheers

Thanks, but if you find any software that provided the " Obex-FTP" on the WM5 PDA could you please send me a message.

isnt it possible that we can update the bluetooth stack to the widcomm one?

Sending files via bluetooth

Hi i wonder if anyone can help,
Now i seem to have had this problem with every HTC phones i have used (XDA orbit, steller, mini) and now my HTC HD2. why cant anyone send me files, pictures, music anything via bluetooth. We get all paired up and eeverything but when they send it to me it just comes up connection failed?
Now i know my bluetooth works on all me phones as i sync at work and have handsfree in the car, so i can only assume its settings but i have look at all of it and cant figure where im going wrong?
thanks in advanced
shane

Hmmm . . .
Do you click "Accept" for the file transfere ? (Bottom left of screen (soft-key))
(After accepting the conneciton, the file transfer itself needs to be accepted as well)
Besides that - to transfer files from my computer, I had to enable the file transfer protocol:
Settings->menu->all settings->bluetooth->"Gears" tab<left most tab ***>->Advanced<+> ->File transfer->allow incoming file transfer

It never gets that far, i dont get the option to accept, on my mates phone it just says connection failed. i dont get anything on my screen, but we are paired up so its not like they cant find me phone etc. it just says connection failed, when they try to send it to me. i have also left all visibilty etc on, and even keep my phone ruuning (i.e. not standby) and still no luck.

I have tried this option with the paired phones, but again no luck, however i have no problem sharing pictures etc from my PC. sending files etc via bluetooth and my computer at work, works fine. its just people sending files etc from other mobiles???
this is what is confusing me, but i have had the problem on all xda's i have had, so there must be another setting.
cheers

No one has any ideas then?? its bugging me now

Can't help you mate.
All I can say is that on all my HTC phones (Diamond, HD & now HD2), it's worked fine - never had a problem.

I also had this very same problem. I have a Kaiser (vodafone v1615) and i was able to send files via bluetooth, but not to receive them. Then i found this thread and now the thing is working:
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=227899
Basically the solution is:
TIP: Make sure you enable “Receive all incoming beams” if you want to receive files / PIM records over Bluetooth on Pocket PC’s with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This can be done in "start menu"->"settings"->"connections" tab->"Beam"
Just that simple check.
Let me know if this works for you.

I have this exact same problem! Unfortunately the quote above only applies to Wm6.1 and below that use the microsoft bluetooth stack.
On this occasion HTC have plumped for their own buggy version.
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585081
I think there is some conflict between obex push and obex file transfer. I have a toshiba bluetooth stack on my winxp install and the bluex utils on my linux partition. Neither of them work anymore on wm6.5 whereas they did on my wm6.1 polaris.

i dont have a connections tab on the HTC HD2, well i have a connections page but i dont have beam as a option??

You wont have "beam". "Beam is part of the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack. The HD2 has the widcomm stack.

Ok but im guessing then that no body can help or even have the same problem??

well, I may be a few months late, but here's my solution, at least it might help new HD2 users:
go to settings tab, choose "all settings" from the right menu button
choose bluetooth, and then click on the settings tab (the one with cog wheels) make your device dicoverable, then from advanced>connectivity>remove the check mark if you don't have your friends' de3vices paired with yours.
finallyadvanced>file transfer>check: allow incoming file transfer connections.
to make this a bit faster you can browse your windows library via file explorer and create a shortcut for the bluetooth program in the start menu (this will also enable you to add a shortcut in the manila today
hope this helps
