Right, on the XDA IIi, if you go into file explorer and right click (press and hold) on any file, it gives you the option to send the file via bluetooth.
The Exec dosent have this
How do I send files from file explorer to other devices via bluetoth? Its a pain in the neck using Beam.
I don't think the BT profile file transfer has been added by M$ yet
Now thats very annoying
Anyone know of any updates?

I think that in this version of WM Beam means both IR and BT. Just select Beam and it will take some time until it finds other BT recipient and then just Tap it an there you go... At least this is on my JJ…
Yeah, you have to do it through Beam! Just like when we had the Microsoft BT stack on Himalaya!
So select send file via Beam and it will send through bluetooth?

Exactly... :wink:
Very messy isnt it. I couldnt work that out when trying to show off in the pub with my new Exec the other night! Since then have found that Resco File Explorer 2005 does give the option. Most of us use Resco don't we?!
Does Resco give the option of sending to paired devices first, without having to search for everything again?
The Broadcom stack on the 2i was so much better than the MS ones. TBH I'm suprised that they didn't include it on with the Universal build. Maybe there were contractual obligations to include the MS one?

I try to send pictures to nokia 6600 and I don't know how??? I can set up bond for nokia 6600 and received the pictures. Is anyone know how to send pics by using bluetooth filesharing on XDA II?
hey mate,
last time i did this; transfer files to a nokia phone, was like april. so i'm a little rusty but i'll try to remember what i did.
basically i turned on my bluetooth and my friend did the same. i then used the xda2's infared app; if i remember correctly when i tried sending him the file the ir didn't work but rather the bluetooth took over. thus i DO remember being able to send him pics and wav files. another thing i also did was used file explorer. go to the file you want to send; then put your stylus on the file name but don't release it (don't lift your stylus); after around 2-3 seconds a small menu should appear with the options: cut, copy, rename, delete, send via email, beam file and set as today wallpaper (if it's a pic). click on beam file; i think this goes back to the first explaination i did where i used the ir app. again; instead of the file beinng sent via ir; the bluetooth app takes over and the file gets sent. as long as the bluetooth apps in both devices are working; it should be able to send. oh; before i forget when you're about to send; the app will search first for all available devices. when you see you're friend's profile you then click on it. if i remember there'll be a button "send file" or something; you then click on it and wait for a few seconds. confirmation should be seen on your screen and possible a sound on your friend's phone. hope that helps.
cheers

Hi Guys.
What software do you use to send files via bluetooth?
I believe the default file explorer cannot do this and I have tried GSFinder but couldnt see how to do it in that either.
I know its possible in Resco, but i wanted something a bit more light weight if possible and it is not free.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I send a BT file using the default file explorer. Who told you it can't do the job ? I even had problems sending a file using Resco file explorer, it won't let m send any file, I get error message.
How do you send files via Bluetooth in the normal file explorer? I can see options to Beam file, send via mms and email. when I choose beam its to do with Infra Red.
When I use Resco I had no problems, chose send then by what method.
Thanks for your reply.
You select the beam file option from the menu, then wait, it will first try to send via infrared then will look for bluetooth receivers in the area. I just found this out the other day myself. I also think you need to have receive all beam types checked also (which I think is the default) [Start/Setting/Connections/Beam].
I have problems sending files from a PC to the Wizard... how do you use bluetooth to send it over?
Can we send files from a PC to the wizard using bluetooth? Is there any other way to manage files on the PDA without activesync?

You are quite right! I chose that option and only saw the infra red option, my tip to anyone wanting to do this is activate bluetooth, ensure other bluetooth device is close and the press beam, it will search and find the bluetooth device!
Thanks tekknogenius
U can beam files via infrared only to windows and windows mobile devices!!!! I noticed this yesterday...U cant transfer files through infrared to other phones like nokia and sony ericsson...and microsoft themselves are accepting this fact...take a look at this link........

Me thinks you need to read a bit more carefully.
The issue in question affects WinCE v4.2, not WM5.
And if you test sending files back and forth between a Wizard and another device, you'll see it works just fine. I've done it with a SE T616 no problem.
So no, it's not a major bug in the Wizard.
Hi Roshan...
U need to read more here...but just for yr information get hold of a 3rd party software called as Resco Explorer and u can very well send files from IR/BT as well to any of the phones...
Pls note that some of the Nokia/Samsung/SE phones hv IR only to be used as a Modem on IR and not FTP is allowed..so in that case they won't accept the file from IR..
I hope this solves yr prob.

Nope, I sent all my contacts from an SE610 to the 8125 via IR, so it is not only windows. Reason I did this? Couldn't get BT to send more than 1 contact.... Go figure.

You can send all contacts through BT. Install the attached cab file on your device. In contacts, tap and hold on a contact. In the pop-up menu there is now an option to select all contacts. After all contacts are selected, tap and hold again and choose send contact. It should then beam all contacts by BT to another device. Mind you, the cab only works once, you'll have to soft reset to get the "select all contacts" option working again.
hmmm...
Has anyone tried to send a jpg file from HTC wizard to a symbian operated phone...like nokia 6260,3230.....or nokia6111 , sony ericsson t610....i tried all these phones but not possible...infact i tried with my friends htc wizard and faced the same problem....

U need to check the way u r doing
I tried to send from a wizard to and from a SPV C500 with no joy - but it seems to be the C500 lacks the software to beam or send it by bluetooth.
I have received pics from a Sagem MYX6 and MYX7 and a Sanyo S750 (which has wonderfully set out menus controlling a phone that does not work!)
Do you have ative the transfer option in connection tab?
This is necessary if you want transfer any file trow IR or BT.
checked everything...
my settings are all proper........enabled accept all incoming beams...now i am seeing that sending a file(jpg) to se610 through bluetooth is also not possible :-( file progress bar in se610 hangs in the middle of transfer....
I know that bluetooth is always there...but when we have paid so much then everything should work right...
the only problem is with sending it from htc wizard to any other device....receiving is not a problem!!!
have had a few problems with sending mp3s via BT to new nokia phones..IR works without any problems but is very slow
Hi,
I have this annoying problem with my Prophet. I cannot transmit or receive files through bluetooth. I thought it is a WM 5 thing, but it works on my friends smartphone and dell PDA.
Did i do the ROM upgrade incorrectly, or is this inline with the patch of bad luck that i am getting with my prophet?
Cheers,
Oz.
Please, describe what are you doing when you try to send/receive files...
Hi
Go to settings>connections>beam and make sure its ticked to "recieve all incoming beams"
To send files just search them using the provided file explorer, tap and hold and then select "beam file"
IT will then search for nearby BT devices. Click tap to send.
You can beam to loads of ppl at once as well, so thats cool.
The one thing I cant work out as of yet is how to change my default recieve directory from My Documents. I want to recieve files on my storage card *grrr* but I guess it will ahve to do for now.
how the hell do you send multiple files through bluetooth. its not possible to do this. i can only send one file then i have to send the other. i wan to highlight say 3 music tracks and send them using bluetooth. but it dont let me. any help
Go into Settings tab > menu > all settings > bluetooth. Click right hand tab, select BT Send Object. Select Audio, highlight the files you want, press SEND.
And be glad you don't have an iPhone, which can't even send one file over bluetooth.
thanks man

Well I think you could have tried this, it is very obvious.
In file manager, tap & hold the file and select "Send via Bluetooth".
well, you can create a zip archive using any free tool and send them, I'm currently looking for an app that enables sending multiple files, but I only found old ones that support infra red >.>
it's helpful for sending multiple objects that don't appear in the BT send object menu
[edit] Resco File explorer apparently sends multiple files via bluetooth (sending different types of files at the same time as well), but it's a paid app
Use Dropbox
I've found a workaround... I send multiple photos to dropbox then cut/paste them from dropbox to whatever folder I want. That way I don't use up the allotted space with dropbox. Works for me!
