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!
Sending contacts via bluetooth
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)

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:

SMS Programs that runs on XDA Exec thru a second pohne

I am looking for a SMS program that I can install on my XDA Exec. I want to be able type my text on the program, using bluetooth link the Exec to my T68i on a different contract with lots of bundled text add-on and send the text message. I have successfully done this using Infra-red, but can't lining up both devices and I am using mphone2.6
Thanks
Youlie
Use Simple SMS from Visual IT....
Thanks, I will give it a try.
Simply SMS crashed my XDA, I only later learned that it's not compactible withWM 5. Be warned, dont install it on XDA Exec.
Nothing works... I tried all the available SMS programs that connect the 9000 via Bluetooth to other phones but it refuses to connect. Only IrDA works...

bluetooth problem

i can send files to other phones / devices . but i can't receive.
I send Receive via Bluetooth, but not Send!
Strange - I'm able to receive but not send. To receive, I left my bluetooth settings to Discoverable. I also bonded my device with the other person's device.....interesting thing is it asks for Device PIN and as long as you both put in the same number, it seems to accept (I used 0000). The other phone (Nokia) sent me a file via bluetooth. Message came up on my XDA II asking if I wanted to accept a file sent by xyz. I accepted and it automatically put it in My Documents folder. Very fast too!
I'm using XDA 2 (not 2i). When I select file (hold the stylus down) file in File Explorer, there is an option to "Beam file" but none to Send via Bluetooth. The Beam File option is for Infra Red. How do you send via Bluetooth?
Can anyone help please????
Method for Sending via Bluetooth on XDA 2
Fergyuk kindly provided the following info :
Hi try the following
Turn on bluetooth on both devices
In file explorer click and hold the file and select beam file
you will see infrared tap to send and searching
the searching is the bluetooth looking for a device
after a short while the Bluetooth device should appear in the list
Thanks to fergyuk

File was under half-meg and it took about 5mins! is that about normal speedwise?

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....
My device configuration is like this
Model:O2 xda mini s
Rom version:2.21.4.1WWE
rom date:3/9/06
radio version:02.07.10
protocol versio:413.1.03
Extended rom:2.21.4.101
JPEG file via IR...to a symbian...better send via BT...but...I can't tell u bcos I can't recall as how many times I hv done that....I had used Nokia 3650 and iPAQ 1940 for a years time
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
