Hi there, when i activate blue tooth, people can see my phone and send me files, but i cant get it to work the other way round, seeing other peoples phones is intermittent and sending a file impossible, anyone got any pointers for me?

ok if you want to send a file, click hold it and you will get "beam file" as one of the options (This does IR and Bluetooth) If you have your bluetooth turned on you will have two lines that say searching. The first one is Ir and then you should get some others below with the bluetooth icon next to them, if you wait a couple of secs you should get the name of the other bluetooth phones etc. then you just click on the "Tap to send" and there you go.
it just sticks at "searching" ?
meanwhile, other ppl can see my phone and send me stuff?

*bump*
my problem is just opposite..I can BEAM via blue tooth and other people can't send me even though i've set it to be visible to others..others can see my mobile

Sorry to ask I know bluetooth has been covered but I cant find anything relating to my problem...
I received my HD today and so far Im well impressed with it, bar a few niggles.
Biggest problem is that when Im trying to send music & pics from my old phone to it, the old phone will find my HD but will always say that the connection has failed. I have tried paring them and they will pair but I can not send files still, always fails.
Is there a setting I should be changing? Only Ive looked and cant see anything obvious. Im just hoping I have not got a faulty HD.
Thanks for any helpful replies guys.
Check your phone is configured to recieve incoming "beams". Which is a throwback from the old days when Infra-Red was the standard way to receive a file from another device, but this also applies to Bluetooth transfers.
Start > Settings > Connections Tab > Beam > Check "Receive all incoming beams."
Also, your Touch HD will not begin to receive a transfer if it is in standby, so make sure it's on as it will not wake up when something is sent to it.
Ahh thanks for that, I was going off the old days with the infra-red beam and disabled that to conserve power, Im sure thats gonna be what it was. Thanks for the help
Incoming beams-just a little more info
Hi, I posted this on the Raphael forum but I guess still applies for the HD.
Hope it helps:

I'm searching for the mod to make the phone wake up by itself on receiving files. If anyone knows will appreciate the help, or if I find it I will post it here if you guys are interested.
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and this looks like a good place to learn about all things WinMo
Unfortunately, i think i may have donw something to my HD2 and now it wont let me on the internet. It says at the top its connected via 3g or whatever's the strongest connection. But whenever i try to launch anything requiring the internet it comes up saying its unable to connect and to try again.
I've had the phone 3 months and its been fine. THe only changes i've made from standard is adding cookies home tab (which im sure didnt do anything) the only other thing i did around the time of it stopping working is using tree size mobile i selected "Load Default Settings" could this have done it??
I've also just noticed it wont let me call people, it just does 3 beeps and hangs up even in strong signal.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark
Have you paid you're bill lol
anyway settings>connections>then take a look in connections see if all you're settings are still there if not go back a page and hit up connection set-up and it should put you're settings back in have a soft reset and try again call wise not sure, could be a problem with the phone that requires a hard reset(back to when you first got the device)
I'll enquire bout the bill, shouldnt be though, cos when you get cut off it doesnt let you connect to 3g, and when you call its just says connection to this number is restricted on this phone...which it isnt doing, its just not calling at all.
Been into settings and everything is on and i've done the reconfiguration to Vodafone and its still the same.
Hey guys I have a T-mobile HD2 with a 2.08 radio with the touch extreme rom. Just recently I started to have problems sending MMS messages. It will tell me that it was unable to send the message and tells me to check connection. So i go to connections and press and hole the T-Mobile connection until the connect option pops up. I press the connect button and try to send it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. It this the reason why people try diffrent radios or is there another solution. Any help woud be appreciated. Very frustrating.
I am having a problem now too. Had my HD2 for almost 4 months now and never had a problem until now.
I can't send or receive MMS messages. Text only works just fine but if I try to send or receive any type of audio, video, or picture message it simply gives me an "unable to send message" error notification.
I never had problems before. Tried going into settings to lower the file size limit, still doesn't work.
Help?
I'm not sure, but I think you have to add a special feature to your plan to send anything but text with t-mobile.
For several days I have a problem in the sense that one of the people can not connect to my phone. After dialing you receive a message that the connection can not be realized.
I do not use any program from the "black list ". After inserting the card into another phone it works. As you can see the problem is in the X5. I tried to upload other dialers, removed and re-entered the contact, however, is still on the phone the caller's message appears. Does anyone know what could cause this situation?
What connection? data? calls? computer?
You mention sdcard and a bunch of stuff but you need to let us know WHAT connection you cant initialize.
Problem solved. In the menu / connection settings tab, however, is the black list (I did not know). I do not know how it happened, but one of the contacts on it went.
Need some help and guidance
I switched from a Windows phone to Android. I have the S5 with ATT. When I used my Bluetooth over the ear in with my windows phone I was able to get notification of who is calling (Answer or Ignore), also with my TEXT I was able to get information like message From then it would ask if I want to reply, or ignore. If I selected reply I could (voice) via the blue tooth tell it my message it would read it back to me then I could say send.
This was all with my Plantronics voyager legend Bluetooth and the windows phone. I was told the S5 could do the same.
The S5 works great I can answer or ignore calls via Bluetooth but I cannot have the phone read me information from the text or an option for me to reply to the text via my bluetooth. I made lots of calls to ATT and to Plantronics and they both point the finger at each other.
Any help would be great.
For others who haven't used WP, this is how you could set it up to handle texts:
It would read out loud "Message from [person's name]. You can say 'Read It' or 'Ignore.'"
If you said "Read it" it would read the message out loud and then say "You can say 'reply,' 'call' or 'I'm done.'"
If you said "reply," you could say your text out loud and it would send the message.
I've found Android apps that read your text messages out loud, but the ones I've found automatically read the whole message. I don't want that. I want it to tell me who I have a text from and then it can read it out loud if I want it to. Is there any way to do this?
