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
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:
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...

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?

Unable to send files to my laptop from my pocket pc (SPV M3100) and vice versa. Both devices partner and recognise each other.No services to select on 'PARTNERSHIP SETTINGS' screen after PPC has searched and found PC via bluetooth.When PC is used to send a file via bluetooth, to PPC, an error message window appears 'CANNOT COMPLETE THE BLUETOOTH TRANSFER WIZARD' and also mentions that 'THE OBEX FILE PUSH PROFILE MAY NOT BE INSTALLED'.Currently using 'Resco explorer' and have no problems sending files via bluetooth to other PPC devices.Have read that there may be issues with 'Win XP SP2' and devices once recognised before 'SP2' installation, not working once it has been installed.Plan to look further into this at the microsoft website, but any help from those who have been in the same position, or know how to fix the problem I have, would be much appreciated, as it is begining to get quite frustrating now considering how simple a task it is usually is to complete...
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:

Hello all,
First of all I have to say that I'm a friggin noob when it comes to WM6.5 and HTC Sense PDAs.
I just bought a Diamond2 a few days ago and am trying to transfer files from my laptop to TD2 using bluetooth. On the laptop I have Bluesoleil (***.bluesoleil.com) managing my BT connections, and when I connect the TD2 it doesn't show File transfer service as available, but it it turned on on Bluesoleil. How can I activate this service on TD2? It would really help to have working.
Thank you all in advance.
Why dont u use the cable? it works much faster.
I usually do, but I don't always carry all cables around so it would be an alternative for those times. Anyway you didn't answer my initial question: What must I do to enable file transfers via BT?
Thank you.
Don't make a connection. Just activate Bluetooth (both devices), set Topaz's Bluetooth visible to other devices and select from your laptop file send via bt.
enable OBEX File Transfer Service.
you can use TD2 Tools 2d.
Use resco explorer with ftp plugin or total commander for mobile, and a ftp server on your pc, there are some good free servers available out there. Belive me WiFi is faster than bluetooth.
Bluetooth File transfer is not installed on TD2 by default. You need to install it manually (Bluetooth explorer, try search). That's the way I did it first but I don't know which file you have to download.... too long ago. An even better solution is try to find a custom ROM which already contains the BTFTP packages. But then you first have to find out how to flash ROMs
