I have this problem of not being able to transfer files via Bluetooth with other phones... like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, I can't even transfer files via my laptop. I can synch via active synch using bluetooth but not just transfer files. Like other phones. Also when I pair it with other phones it only shows Dial up as the service no file transfer. What is the reason? Is it a bug in Windows Mobile 5? Can it be fixed? Is there an update? I am using an O2 Mini S. Thanks to anyone who can guide me to the right answer of solving this.
Fixed it by going to the "Beam" setting. Read it in a post here. Thanks.

Hi fellas,
Was wondering if you guys are able to install applications on your Universal via AS (activesync) over BT.
I have a Billionton BT Dongle and was able to install applications earlier on my PDA2k but for some odd reason, am unable to do so on the Universal (i have a Jasjar). The installation process begins on my desktop but halfway through i get a message saying that it cannot connect to the device and i should reconnect the device and begin installation again. This happens inspite of the fact that AS is running fine and i am even able to sync without reconnecting as it asks me to.
What do you guys suppose the problem is?
Cheers.
Get the latest active sinc. (microsoft just came out with one a week ago) then turn off all your firewalls. It should work no problem
I don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but I too have a similar question about BT.
Is it possible to transfer files like MP3 music without active sync using BT?
Yes you can transfer files from PDA to PDA (mp3's, pictures, contacts, notes, ect..) I do that a lot between my fiance's treo and my Jasjar
Hi
I have no problem with install or transfer file from my desktop to my Xda Exec.
The Activesync that I use is version 4.1 the very latest and to transfer files I use the Window Explorer.

As the topic says, I can't receive any files using bluetooth from another device. I can send any files to another devices with my o2 mini. My phone name is found on another device, but when I tried to send the file, it failed.
I just got my 2nd hand o2 mini, so I'm clueless. I've tried to install new ms bluetooth stack found in this forum, but still doesn't work.
And I'm also got a problem using activesync via bluetooth, using usb cable the active sync works fine.
I also have this problem, I can't receive files from other phones either! And like you I have installed the new bluetooth stack (aka bluetooth stock) from on this forum.
Yesterday somehow I managed to receive files via bluetooth from other phone (In this case it was nokia N70). But I need to pair the phone first.
EDIT:
I can't receive any files from BT equipped computer, altough I managed to get it succesfully paired. Very strange, my phone can receive files from N70 but not from my PC
Good news, now I can receive any files from any paired devices. I just upgrade the ROM & Radio to version 13 from 12, and now it works.
Hmm.. now it's time to search on how to remove i-mobile branding
goto Settings-> Connections -> Beam
and check if the "Receive all incoming beams" is marked...
Thanks a lot pal, this has resolved my problems.

I have a problem with file transfer using bluetooth.
I recently unstalled the latest stock HTC WM6.5 rom for my Diamond 2.
Then I tried to add a A2DP headset to my laptop, and to do this had to install a new Broadcom BT driver to my laptop.
After loading the new BT driver to the laptop I had to re-pair my phones (the Diamond and a Samsung E2550 standard phone).
After re-pairing both phones I find I can transfer files from both phones to the laptop, and I can transfer files from the laptop to the Samsung.
However when I try to transfer files to the Daimond, I get an error on the laptop saying 'No Service'.
In the laptop BT 'Services' I notice that one of the services for the Samsung is 'File Transfer(Obex)', but this does not appear in the services list for the diamond.
Has anyone any ideas how I get this to work. How can I get 'File Transfer (Obex) working on the Diamond?
NOTE: File transfer worked on the Diamond before I upgraded the rom on the phone and the BT driver on the laptop.
2nd NOTE: File transfer between the Samsung and Diamond works OK - still not transferring from PC to Diamond though
Thanks.

Touch Tools has an option to "Enable OBEX File Transfer Service":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683951
Would be nice to here about, if this works for you.
Thanks Braunie - but the problem is not with the enabling in the registry, the correct entry is already there
; Enable Bluetooth OBEX file transfer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Obex]
"IsEnabled"=dword:00000001

So the problem is more sinister than that.
So any assistance sorting this would be greatly appreciated.
It appears that the problem is not the phone - its the laptop.
To get an A2DP driver for my bluetooth headset I had to install the Widcomm bluetooth driver as A2DP is not supported in Win 7 or Acer blutooth drivers.
I uninstalled the widcomm driver and the standard Acer bluetooth driver works - I can transfer files to the phone again.
So I'm back to square one - use the standard driver and have no A2DP, or use Widcomm and lose the ability to transfer files to the phone.

Live could be so easy if some software-developers would think a step further.
The main contender for problems appears to be Microsoft.
For some reason they have never bothered to tidy up their bluetooth drivers - even though they push both PC and Mobile versions of Windows. Another example is that I cannot connect to my HTC using Bluetooth in Windows Mobile Device Centre - even though I have set the bluetooth as enabled in WMDC.
From the posts on various forums etc it appears that a lot of people have similar problems to mine with A2DP, as well as other general issues with standard bluetooth drivers.
I will keep hunting around to try and find a bluetooth stack that resolves both my issues in one driver - don't hold out much hope though.

With A2DP I have no experience. But I think Windows Mobile has still a better bluetooth-support than android or so. As example rSAP-support for the handsfree in my car works perfect. This means that my HTC TD2 automatically connects to my car, the radio of my TD2 will be disabled because the handsfree has its own. The phone-book will automatically synchronised with the handsfree.
By the way; the bluetooth-connection with activesync (WinXP) works with no problems for me.
Wish you good luck on your "quest" ...

I have no problems with the mobile.
Bluetooth on the Diamond II recognises the A2DP headset, and other hands free headsets, pairs and sends files to the laptop and ends/recieves files from other phones - all good.
It appears to be a problem with Win 7 on the laptop which gives the grief.
I had no problem using bluetooth in Activesync on XP, the problems arose with the introduction of Windows Mobile Device Centre in Vista and Win7.

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I'm having problem with my bluetooth. I'm running android version 2.3.4 on SD (HD2 Leo). I've got no problem running it on wm.
Despite setting it to discoverable, I can't detect other devices or pairing with them neither can others find me. I can't use my bluetooth headset and whenever I want to receive files from another party, I would need to switch the phone back to WM so that I can receive via bluetooth transfer
Appreciate your kind advice. thanks!
You need to make your phone to be discovered. Setinngs. Wireless. Bluetooth settings.
to receive files from other phones you need to have FTP connection enabled, in sense it's easily done. in none-sense I haven't been able to make it work manually, but some apps like "bluetooth file transfer" do it conveniently.
try that out
it would be better if you pair with the device you want to receive files from, that means set the other device to discoverable, do a search for devices, then pair with that device. it's not mandatory, but since you might be connecting with several OSs this way is 100% working.
thank you for the replies
"bluetooth file transfer" really does the job! Without it, I can't even pair with another device. My laptop is able to search for the HD2 but can never make any connection with it.
yes that's common,
enable FTP in the app settings just in case it isn't.
if you're using a sense build/rom then it won't work.. the workaround is to connect your phone to the laptop your phone can search and see the laptop's bluetooth, and you can access shared folders on it through BT file transfer app
unfortunately i'm using a sense rom i will try that method of connecting it to the laptop. thanks!
I like sense better than anything else, so I can live with that small issue
I have an Nokia 822 with native Bluetooth file transfer installed. Whenever I want to pair the phone with my sister's iPhone to send her pics, her iPhone says that Windows Phone is not suported...WT
Strange....my 810 sends Bluetooth files to my girlfriends GS3 just fine...maybe it's the iPhone that has the problem ?.

I'll redirect you to that link here - it might help you: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-57487855-233/ios-could-get-bluetooth-file-sharing/
But as was already said: iOS does not support OBEX file transfer via Bluetooth which is the standard everyone else has been using for sending files via Bluetooth since there was Bluetooth.

Thanks guys so basically it's Apple who [email protected]#cks! Granted that Bluetooth is old technology but it still comes in handy from time to to time.

Gasoline engines are ancient technology and they also come in handy from time to time.
Well now I'm even more glad that I didn't get an iPhone. Ugh we are getting them at work so I will have no choice but to carry it around.
