File Explorer does not support Bluetooth file trasnfer , I am using JAS/JAR running WM2005. AM I missing something?
there is a registry change you can make to add support for this - see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry under To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)
i've not tried this myself, though!
If you don't mind spending on 3rd party software then Resco File Explorer may be your best set and they now have a WM5 compatible version.
Likewise to transfer from your PC to the phone your windows PC file explorer should manage it provided your device is paired. But don't forget to turn on the bluetooth on the device and also the "accept all incoming beams" as this is often confused as being mandatory for IR transfers only.
Kind Regards
access is denied
when i try to change values it give me error of access is denied, can anybody help me
failed
followed all the changes mentioned in this post and try to send a file to my PC. It recognizes my PC but when i click on tap to send...it tries for a few seconds and then gives a status saying failed
I think it is at your PC end, and I have had similar problems depending on the bluetooth setup that I had on the pc, I could activesync on bluetooth, but not send files, yet on an alternative machine I could do both. They were running different bluetooth dongles and thus settings and drivers.
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

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:
Hi
I was rather disappointed to see the poor BT support on my newly acquired iMate JasJam.
It supports almost no BT profile
In particular OBEX (file transfer).
I found some references to some BT extension to the Microsoft BT stack, but they don't seem to work.
Any ideas if there are ways to extend the functionality of BT with this device and add some common profiles like OBEX, FTP etc?
Thanks
JY
Just wanted to start a similar thread. I was quite disappointed finding out that I can't receive e.g. a CAB file via BT! Though it sends all OK

Could it be because you need to turn on 'receive all incoming beams' under start>settings>connections>beams
try it. i heard that its coz of this.
Of course, this option is turned on!
Hi all,
Don't know if I'm missing something but i can send .CAB, .WAV, .MP3 etc files both from and to my SPV M3100/Laptop (or desktop).
Beam is on.
Gavin.

Actually, it should work - the MS BT stack has a pretty good OBEX implementation, as has also been pointed out in several of my, related articles; for example, http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1065&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Probably it depends on firmware version... btCrawler self diag shows for me only OBEXObjectPushService, and only if that option is turned on. No OBEXFileTransferService at all.
Other services shown are not related to file transfer (audio, modem, serial ports).
Do you (who's able to receive any file) have OBEXFileTransferService on your device?
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319468&highlight=collection
Most Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices are shipped with Microsoft Bluetooth stack, only few of them use others (like Widcomm Bluetooth stack). Among all the Bluetooth services that may be implemented in the stack, OBEX FTP is the most common service.
OBEX FTP Bluetooth service can be used to share files through Bluetooth, not only by sending files but also by allowing remote devices to browse local shared folders and download files.
...
There exists a Directory Traversal vulnerability in the OBEX FTP Service in Microsoft Bluetooth Stack implemented in Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices. A remote attacker (who previously owned authentication and authorization rights) can use tools like ObexFTP or gnomevfs-ls to traverse to parent directories out of the default Bluetooth shared folder by using ../ or ..\\ marks. This means the attacker can browse folders located on a lower level, download files contained in those folders as well as upload files to those folders.
The only requirement is that the attacker must have authentication and authorization privileges over the OBEX FTP service. Pairing up with the remote Windows Mobile device should be enough to get it. In case the attacker succeeded in getting the proper privileges, further actions will be transparent to the user

I don't see this as a vulnerability, it has its good and bad use. the only way for to even get in to the device is to pair with the device, and only an Ass-hat would actually pair a device they don't know.
I think there was an app called bluetooth explorer which allows the option to explore folders on the connected device (don't really remember if that was the name)
can someone please tell which other mobile OS offers the option to send files over bluetooth? I'm just curious, I think WinMo offers this but I don't want to sound like an ass-head declaring this as fact.
it would be a real vulnerability if the attacker could do all that without any user intervention
