How do you receive files/pictures/contacts via bluetooth?

Hi,
A bit new to PPC and the Magician, just got delivery of my i-mate JAM yesterday.
This might well be user error and a case of RTFM but I can't work out how I send contact information/ pictures/ mp3s or pretty much anything else to my JAM via bluetooth. I've tried sending files from my old P910 and also from a friends XDA IIi. I see no response on the JAM at all and the P910 just errors out saying it was not possible to send. The error message on the XDA was a little more meaningfull though I cant remember exactly what it was but something along the lines of the device not supporting the operation.
I've searched through all the posts on this forum and googled for an answer but not come up with anything yet
Its a brand new i-mate JAM with nothing extra on it running 1.11.0 WWE ROM, 1.11.0 radio version, 1.11.179 WWE ExtROM
THanks in advance for any help

You can use your File explorer and the send-to option to send files via bluetooth.

here is a challenge for all the pros in here :lol:
How to make this work(file explorer/resco explorer) with the Bluesoleil stack ?

How do you receive files/pictures/contacts via bluetooth
Have you tried this cab file " SwitchIT.CAB " ?
I had the same problem , i could send to another machin but not recieve anything. Install the SwitchIT.CAB onto your machine and enable Obex On this should solve the problem . Cheers

... or simply go into Settings>Connections>Beam>Receive incoming beams (checkbox).. After that, you should be able to receive both IR and BT incoming files.

Yes, that's all you need to do. My wife is constantly beaming appointments to my O2 Xda II mini from her Palm Treo 650 at home. When I next pick it up there are multiple items waiting to be saved. Works a treat.

The MS Stack the Magician uses only lets you choose whether to accept a file after it has already been accepted. If you recieve a 5 meg file, you'll get no confirmation until the transfer is complete, then it will ask if you want to accept.

Send Contacts using SMS's

Dear All,
i have tired from searching for an application to enable me send a contact details using SMS. after a long search i found a similar application called RJV SendContact (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=52421) , but it is for smart phones. do anyone know a similar application that can work with our PPC Wizard devices.

Can't help, but i would like one too.
Yet another big shortfall with WM5. I mean, FFS, Vcard's have been a standard feature in mobiles for years.

Hi there.
Try looking/searching for Sunnysoft Vcard. Google it and you will know that it is what you guys are looking for.
Regards.

Try Vazu.
I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.
BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.
Good luck.

this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.

I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.
That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)
OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:
https://www.vazu.com/help/import_contact.php

Many Thanks
Many Thanks for your effort, it can be a replacement

I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.
And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.
I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab
good luck

Great App, but i google for it i did not find anything concerning this app, anyway , thanks alot

I could not find it with google eather, sorry for the wrong tip

o2 sms has this feature
The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.

I tried installing it in my phone. It says Installation unsuccessful. Am I doing anything wrong ?

WM6 Message Interception

Hi, i downloaded the Windows Mobile 6 Standard Software Development Kit then installed it and created a new WM6 Project with these:
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception
but how come the application cannot intercept the incoming sms on WM6 smartphone? I tried it on a WM5 smartphone device and it worked.
Any help guys?

I've got absolutely no idea about Smartphone stuff - but is it possible that the tighter security model on the Smartphones requires a developer's certificate and signing etc?
V

hi Vijay, thanks for the reply. If it needs signing, how do i do it? also, i forgot to mention that the application did run on WM6, the only problem is the message interception part. It was not able to intercept the incoming sms, instead, it went diretly to the Inbox.

any help on this?
i tried this on my wm6 emulator and the application was able to receive the incoming sms. On a real device, it can't.

Sending Unicode SMS messages via mobile phone from PDA

Hi,
I need your help to find out a software that I can use my HTC Touch Cruise to send and receive Unicode SMS messages via mobile phone.
I searched over and didn't find out a software that works with WM6. Can you help me to find one?
Thanks

Is it that hard to get?!
It looks like I am asking soming not easy to get! I did almost two weeks search for workable software. I only found one software which is called Instant SMS Sender. I tried it and it works. But it doesn't have must features like Indovisi SMS.
I hope someone can come up with better one. Lets look who is the Hero
Thanks

I found a very simple freeware software which is called zSMS v0.6. I tested and it works. It doesn't allow me to type unicode SMS. Did any body test to send unicode SMS using zSMS software?
Thanks

Try using Simple SMS V5.0 (For WM5 & WM6), and you may find your luck, depending on what type of handphone you are using.
Well, I still prefer Indovisi SMS but I am having the same problem with you.

Let me know if you find any better software too..

N:xxxxxx;xxxx
FN:xxxxxxxxxxx
TEL;CELL:nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
X-IRMC-LUID:nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
END:VCARD
Any ideas ???

POSSIBLE answer to your problem!
Seeing as I'm not sure if I can post a link to an external site, I'll give you some details!!
a company called 'handster.com' make a program from Windows Mobile called "kais_vcard_manager". This might be able to help you!
Its not freeware I'm afraid, but if it does what you require, it doesn't cost too much!

another utility available is "vCard Expert" available from windows phone marketplace. i found this better than kais vcard manager but looks as though it only works on windows mobile 6.5

Thanks Guys...

cheers...
