Bluechalking via MDA 2

Dear All,
Please help me, my question is how to use T-mobile MDA 2 to send and receive messages from any bluetooth-type devices like cell phones, pda etc.
Thanks.

well there are no protocol that i know off that everybody use
if there is then it's pretty easy to make it for every bluetooth pda
maybe if there is a std for doing it somebody have already don it

Thanks for quick reply.
Well I know a lot of people are using their pda's and cell phones to send msg's, files etc via bluetooth.
On pda's it's quite easy - just open bluetooth window and you can manage almost everything.
But on MDA 2 there's just "Blue tooth parameters" in control panel and that's all.
Well it's ok with handsfree, it works, but how to work with other devices?
Maybe there's kind'a application for this performance?

with beam you can already push and pop files back and forth between the xda2 and other bluetooth able devices
but text msg is another thing
if other people with pocketpc's got some std and some program it's just a matter of getting the program from them and putting it on the xda2 and it would work xda2 is a pocketpc like all other pocketpc's and share programs with them just like pc's can run the same programs
of cause maybe some of those programs would not work with ms's bluetooth that xda2 uses

You're right.
I've tried the program BuzZone (www.buzzone.net), but when it's being installed from PC to MDA2, there's appearing an error message on MDA screen at the end of setup: "Cannot find BT CE file" or something like that.
What is "ms bluetooth"?

it's the bluetooth stack that ms made that comes free with winCE
hp and other pda makers use a 3th party bluetooth stack which is much much much better

You can always send short messages in a contact's name field. This is known as 'bluejacking' - sending anonymous messages to strangers via Bluetooth.
For more information visit:
http://www.bluejackaddict.co.uk

This works!!
The title of the message is the Contact's name, The message itself is the Contacts Notes
How to:
Create contact with name / notes
Save
Tap it
Tools / Beam contact
Select the victim device

What we need is something like SMAN on the Px00 that could scan for 'victims' and automatically send the contact to them.
SMAN also logged succesful 'hits' - great fun for the supermarket!

bluejacking
one other thing that is needed desperately is some way of making sure that you only bluejack good-looking people not people that look like me

How'd you get the option to beam to bluetooth. Even with mine turned on I only can beam via infrared.

It should also say searching" whilst it scans for bluetooth receivers can take a couple of minutes to locate other phones

PPC Send Contact 2004

reposting this because the original thread was truncated,
this program will send contact mobile number info thru SMS.
i will be releasing it soon.

Are you trying to say that this can send a vcard (more or less standard way of putting contacts-info in one file, can be read by ie. Nokia phones) via sms just like it allready works with BT?
Should be a Contacts-add-on instead of an extra piece of software.

@edsub
there is already a plugin that can do that but the problem is, its not compatible sending vcard to some of the phones (nokia,moto..etc)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13545
my application will send the mobile number info with some short note using SMS so the nokia phones or any other type of phone that can send/recieve sms can have it. Ive got Tired of cut&pasting contact info and sending it.

No offense, but next to the fact I think your app really is very useful (for me too!!) I still think it should be a plugin for the contacts app. Can you make the app to behave like a plugin (or am I asking something weird now)?

Wow! This is great Pare!
In relation to this, shall we also expect that thru this app we too can receive Vcards from Nokias? The reason why I'm asking this is because my PPC device can't seem to receive Business Cards from Nokia phones.
My sincerest thanks!

hi guys
i found a app that sens vcards on the net but i cant remember where it was on one of the free ware sites.

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 contact Via Bluetooth

hi
was looking to send a contact from one phone to another over bluetooth but noticed that on wm2005 this option is missing on the universal
Does anyone have any ideas or is it just another missing feature on the Imate
I do wish they would hurry up and fix all the teething problems with this device
Cheers

Select the contact and then goto Menu>Beam Contact... and it will search for avliable "beams" (IrDA and Bluetooth...) :shock:

I have both a pda2k and an imate jasjar. I copied 234 contacts from the pda to the jj in 4 minutes via bluetooth. And this is OK.
Then I tried the opposite.
If you establish a BT connection between the devices, the use the same option as for the IR connection. I tried and it worked. I kept the two separate with IR ports opposite that it could be impossible to establish a different connection rather than the BT one.
It worked!

How do you select all contacts to beam them? I only seem to be able to select one at a time (Windows Mobile 5 - i-mate k-Jam)
Cheers

Is this the same for ordinary files? I was looking to BT something to someone yesterday and couldn't see a 'Send via BT' option

If you install Pocket Informant you can select multiple contacts for beaming

AndyCr15 - yes that is the case with "ordinary" files. Obviously, if the Operating System will let you send them via Bluetooh/a.k.a "Beam". :roll:

Flash messenger v1.5 released!

Hello guys,
Know you've been waiting for this and its been a long time as we were busy on working with our new site.
We are proud to release Flash Messenger v1.5 with contacts support. Feel free to comment here or there in our forums.
http://www.PocketPC-Live.com/flash-messenger.html
CartyStudios, Inc.

Flash Messenger v1.5 for POCKET PC
This is a small software for your POCKET PC, that helps you in sending Class0 sms, where the message on delivery, will directly Flash on the recipient’s screen. The message will not get into inbox and hence cannot be saved. However, some devices can save the message.
Whereas in some devices (Recipient’s device) like O2 Atom, Sony Ericson.., the sender’s number is also withheld.
sounds great, but what does the above mean, can i send to any phone or just pocket pc's ...

Not working with WM5 or something is missing. Installed 3 times but no luck

great thing to add contacts working just fine in wm2003 on my magiciam.. the sms can be sent to any sms capable receiver, inly thing is that sms will look a little bit stranger

yeah this does seem a bit pointless considering you wont always know what type of phone the person on the other end will have and how the sms will be recived.

Guys, did you try installing to the default folder? Program files\flash messenger? Still getting the security error?

I've installed it in program files and moved to storage, works really well

is it support Hermes?
