XDA exec and Mac

Hey people,
I have a XDA exec and I am just wonering if anyone knows any (preferably free) programs that allows me to connect my XDA with my Mac mini. I cant seem to use the bluetooth to send thing over (all the time it just says decive is not compatible with this file or somthing.
Anyone help? Thanks.

No activeSync as of yet, sorry.
There is software available but it isnt free.

Ignore the file incompatible message and click on send anyway. It's pure nonsense. The universal will download it anyway.

i think you might as well get a SD Crad reader to transfer file.
i use USB SD card reader tranfer file from my powerbook to my dopod 900 if i have 2 or more file to send it

Yes I already hd an SD card in there, but not a card reader.
When I try to send somthing to it via bluetooth, it just says "device does not have nessesery services" and fails to send? Also, when I look under paired devices, I look under say my nokia 6680, and it says:
Device Services: SDP Server, Hands-Free Audio Gateway, Headset Audio Gateway, OBEX File Transfer, SyncMLClient, Nokia OBEX PC Suite Services, OBEX Object Push, Dial-Up Networking, Imaging
When I look under my XDA exec, it only says:
Device Services: Service Discovery, Voice Gateway, Voice Gateway, Dial-up Networking

in yr mac under yr System Preferences bluetooth.
have u tried to delete yr xda exec pairing
and pair it again??
after yr pairing with yr exec try to send it again.
hope its work.if it cant work pls let me knw i will check it out with my friend.

Keep an eye on this site too - they say they are working on WM5 support at the moment.
I used it for my ipaq and it worked really well - will probably get the new version when they have syncing sorted for WM5 too
http://www.pocketmac.net
Cheers,
Smiffy.

I have tried pairing it and unpairing it several times but to no avail.
I also saw that, and when it becomes available for WM 05, I will probably buy it.

my dopod wm5 work together with my powerbook well.

Mac os X and jasjar
Hi chaslam,
To get it working you need to change a registry setting...See below:
To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex'
The 'IsEnabled' DWORD value should be set to '1' to enable OBEX and '0' to disable OBEX.
For example, to enable the ability to receive fles via Bluetooth
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1
You can then send via bluetooth...(you get a message saying not supported, but it will send, files appear in my documents folder)
Regards
hippo

Sorry but I dont understand that at all lol. Where do I type that in?

bluetooth sending
no problem, I've been there and still am sometimes! you need to edit a registry setting. To do that you can use some software installed to your jasjar. Do you have a method to get files copied to jasjar at the moment? if so let me know and I'll send you the application and tell you the steps to go through.
ps. what version of Mac OS X are you using?

Sorry I havent got back to you sooner, ive been very busy the last couple of days.
Yes I can do it via a PC I have, but my Mac is the main computer that I use so I would like to transfer things via that.
I would be very greatful if you could send me the program. If you dont want to post it on the forum you could send it to my email if thats ok. Its [email protected] (dont worry about spambots as its my Spam email address what I post on forums).
I am using the latest version of 10.4.3.
Thanks

ok, got the program installed but I am not sure how to acually change it. I get to the opening page and it says:
hkey classes root
hkey current user
hkey local machine
hkey user
When I click on on of these it does nothing. Just lets me change what it says. I cant find the obex thing and all of that.
Sorry if I have being stupid, but could somone help me on what to do from here?

Ok been looking around the forum and found a much simpler and safer way to do this.
Just go to settings > Connections > Beam > Accept all incoming Files
Much simpler and safer, and it works!
Thanks everyone for your help.

bluetooth
That's Great - I should have checked the easy option first!

Hmmm I tried this lastnight and I have "receiving all incoming beams" enabled and I couldnt BT any files over.
Are you sure you didnt use IR?

Try re pairing your exec and see if it works. Worked fine with me.
Oh and IR is the little infared box on the phone. Completely different from bluetooth.

Got it working - Shoulda tried re-pairing really!
Cheers Chaslam

On the subject of syncing data from your Universal to a Mac.. there are two utilities that are due to be updated to support WM5 soon and they are
PocketMac
&
Missing Sync
These are the only apps that will sync directly to a mac as far as I know... unless anyone knows better??? please let us know :lol:

Bluetooth trouble

Hello,
I have been able to send easily via bluetooth, however i am having problems sending.
I have made partnerships, set myself as discoverable, turned bluetooth on (of course), used pass keys and friends phones says 'connection failed'
Any ideas? (O2 Exec)

Sama problem here
bye
nicoska

I have also had similar problems and found that not all phones, even if blue tooth enabled, are send receive enabled eg my my wifes samsung phone can send to me, but my jasjar has difficulty sending to her....
The friends phone would need to have switched on the "accept incoming beams" also setting, which isnt necessarily part of the partnership setting, but in the bluetooth settings itself as this enables OBEX as compared to say activesync, or headset features to allow file trfr's.
There is sometimes and OBEX setting somewhere that switches the file trfr setting on or off. I assume that you have done the obvious "accept all incoming beams" on your phone... not that you are accepting but sending.

Hi
Go to Settings,connections,then select Beams,check the box for Allow all incoming beams...

i did it but having the same problem. I'm using a JasJar.
bye
nicoska

I am too using Jasjar and i am able to do so...pls check yr settings again

I'm using Dopod 900 and having the same problem too...

I'm using SPV M5000 French and having the same problem too...

i have an m5000. With the Resco-Explorer i can send files via Bluetooth ti my ipaq h 4150, but i can't send files from the ipaq to the htc universal....

I had the same problem, not being able to send files to others. I was using Resco File Explorer, then I tried the built in File Explorer and it worked like a dream.

I can't receive anything from anyone via Bluetooth, I think it might be something to do with OBEX (whatever that might be :roll: ) does anyone know how to fix this?

Can the default File Explorer send file using bluetooth? How?

RE
OK,
Finally, I manged to send/receive file to and from my QTEK 9000 and my notebook using bluetooth and default File Explorer

Did you change any settings?

RE
On my PPC side I turned on "Receive all incoming beams". My PPC only shows Incoming Port (COM0)
What I did for my notebook is to add Incoming (COM5) and Outgoing (COM7) COM Ports
For sending file from my notebook to my PPC I just select "Send a File" and then select the file to be sent
For sending a file from my PPC to my notebook I select "Receive a File" from my notebook and then selct the file to send from my PPC and send over using bluetooth

i couldnt get my pro to recieve a file via bt...had to download it via the web

RE
Tested sending/receiving file with my QTEK 9000 and SE 700i handphone
No problem at all

Mine just won't receive anything from anyone :x

RE
trapper
Have you checked to make sure that your PPC and the sender's device must be visible to one another ie. they must be make discoverable?
:roll:

How to send files via Bluetooth?

I have paired my QTek 9100 with my Mac and other devices, but how the heck do I send a file over to another device? I can receive files from these devices, but I find no option anywhere to send via bluetooth. I have created outgoing and ingoing ports too, but no new menu options appear on the file manager! How is this supposed to work on Windows Mobile 5 AKU2?

Follow the option to BEAM via Infrared, while it's searching it'll search bluetooth as well.

Need Help with Bluetooth connection between 8525 and Nokia 7370

Here is the situation. Im trying to transfer some files From my nokia 7370 to my AT&T 8525. I am able to pair the devices, but when I try to send files, the nokia says the connection failed.
When I try to send files from my 8525 to the Nokia, it works. The other way doesnt work. I tried the same procedure with a Sony Ericsson phone and I was again able to pair, but was not able to send from the SE phone.
Can someone help?

Is OBEX enabled?
Without OBEX you can't send files
use a configuration manager, such as HTweakC or HTCustom to enable OBEX
Then find a file and send or beam as if you were using infra-red, but enabled bluetooth devices nearby should also be discovered and select them
Here's a link to DiStefano's very good *.cab collection, you can find many such applications there:

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
