Hello Every1,
I would like to apologies first in case this topics has been already been talked about, but I could not find anything.
My V1605 has a problem if I trasfer file via bluetooth to my laptop or any pc with bluetooth I can do it but if I try to transfer the file from a laptop or a pc with bluetooth the pc say that it cannot find the service on my pda.
I've tryed modifying the registry:
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled from 0 to 1
But eveytime I soft rest the PDA it goes back to 0.
I've try without soft rest but I stll cannot transfer file from my laptop to my PDA I've try changing the Registry and switch off the PDA for 10 minute then soft rest but I get the same thing the Registry goes back to 0.
Is the something that I',m missing to get the bluetooth to transfer both way or is it that this unit cannot do it??????
Please Help.
Thank You
Gigino
Settings > Connections > Beam > receive all
V
This is something very basic but thought to still write in case you are missing it.
Navigate to Start / Settings / Connections(tab) and open the 'Beam' icon. See if the checkbox 'Receive all incoming beams' is checked. This should be checked.
This is sometimes confused as being for infra red transfer only whereas this also applies to bluetooth file transfer.
Hope this helps
Regards

Yup, it's very confusing - this is why I've elaborated on this question at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1196&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Still Problems
Hello
Thank you every1 that put a solution on the forum but I'm afraid I still have the same problem.
I've put the tick in the receive all beam box but I still cannot transfer file via bluetooth to my pda.
I've checked the registry to see if the Obex is ste to 1 and it is.
When I click on my bluetooth icon on my laptop I search for a bluetooth device it find my pda a tap on my pda to transfer a file and I get a message on my laptop saying:
Service File Transfer Is Not Availabe On Device Gigi.
Any anther suggestions.
Thanks
Gigino

Strange. Did you try for example to hack a Widcomm BT stack on it?
(I'm afraid a hard reset is in order...)

hi,
searched thru the forums but cant find an answer anywhere. When i press and hold on a file theres no option to send via bluetooth? So i cant send anything over blutooth only receive. I checked the registry under obex and the value is 1 which i beleive means i can transfer using obex. Could somebody please point me in the right direction to get bluetooth filetransfer to work. Is it just my mini s or is this a known bug?
cheers
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
Hope this helps
Fergy :lol:

I have tried this on my 8125 to bluetooth to a MDA and i can see the MDA and we even tried pairing the devices but still could not transfer. Every time it fails. The weird part is that the MDA cant see me to beam to my 8125. Any fix's? I tried the OBEX reg hack already.
Hey,
I flashed my 8125 with Summiter's Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE-RINGRS-OCLOCK.exe.
I have a question now: can I use Bluetooth File Transfer Service with Bluesoleil Bluetooth USB dongle?
If not, is there a way to fix it?
Also I cannot send/receive files (like tones or pictures) via BT... This is really weird since most of BT enabled phones have this option, even the cheapest of them...
Don't get me wrong, but it's kinda embarrasing when a guy shows off with his RAZR sending pictures and stuff and I can't...
HELP, PLEASE....
Ps. yeah... I hate RAZR's...
I am not familiar with that ROM but you should be able to pair with that dongle - just make sure both are discoverable and they should be able to pair. Also you can send files via bluetooth use the inbuilt file explorer and click on file and menu should appear - choose beam file and bluetooth window will appear
Nope... it doesn't... I got only IR...
Need more info to help.
Does your bluetooth go on and is it discoverable? Does blue indicator light flash? Did bluetooth work before flashing with new rom?
Cuz you should definitely be able to bt with file explorer. If not i assume its a rom problem and would suggest trying to flash back to original rom.
Well, the BT itself works well. I use BT earpiece and SellingClicker with no problems.
Yet, I don't have an option to beam anything via BT... Only IR or MMS.
And I have no idea whether it worked with oroginal ROM since I flashed it the very second day I got it... Yeah, yeah... I know... that was stupid...
Anyways, any other suggestions?
I figured out a way how to send files from one phone to the other... (I think, coz I didn't really test throughfuly)
The big question is: how do I send and receive files to the PC without using ActiveSync?
You have to....
...have your bluetooth om and discoverable to be able to send files via bluetooth.
Once you tap "Beam", you'll have to wait a few seconds to see the option to send via btooth. You'll first see just the "Infared" prompt, then underneath it, you'll start to see "Unknown Devices" appear, Unknown Device changing to the actual device name, once you MDA picks it up. Then you can tap to send to that particular device.
So you can do it....I just think it's misleading that it only says "Beam".....

Yes, but when I finally send it to the PC all the PC does is open MS Outlook and that's it...
The way I see it is that OBEX file is nothing else but a "business card" file read only by outlook.
Did you try sending files both ways yourself?
:-(
common guys... help, please..
Just now I was trying to send a 5mb file from PC to phone via the Bluetooth Object Push Transfer. It was working for about 5 min and... nothing... the PC says: Object Push Service is disconnected... on the phone there is nothing. Even the memory status stays exactly as it was 10 min ago... :-(
help, please
Does anyone know why I have virtually no bluetooth services other than headset and modem ?
Even my old Nokia 6680 could OBEX file transfer - Is this locked in the 'Wizard' by O2 ? Can it be tweaked ? I just want to be able to tx/rx files via bluetooth.
Whilst I'm on a rant !! LOL Why can't one activesync via WiFi to the desktop PC ? - Only BT or USB it appears.....D'uh ??
Thanks for any help.

I found this a couple of days ago via a search for the same issue:
You need to edit the registry.
Enable Bluetooth receive:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Apparently earlier versions of ActiveSync could do this, but MS removed it with later ones for "security reasons".
I found out that that reg tweak does the same as in Start-Settings-Connections-Beam. Tick the box receive all incoming beams and the setting in the registry switches from 0 to 1. I do not advise anyone to change it to a 1 in the registry, since that means that your infrared port is also active all the time, which is battery consuming. For receiving files, just tich the box in the settings-beam menu and you should be able to receive files. After receiving, uncheck it and the infrared port shuts down as well, saving battery power.
re
10x Koksie, I solved my problem. It is very stupid to turn OFF incoming
bluetooth transfers from IrDa control panel !!! I have IPAQ 3715 before with WM2003SE and there are not that stupid ideas ....
Oh, God. I spent months thinking that my BT stack was broken, only to find out that I had to enable OBEX-receive for Bluetooth via the IrDA panel and OBEX-send via the (previously IrDA-specific) "Beam" File Manager option.

Well, let me disagree. The additional battery consumption it causes is, in most usage situations, negligable. That is, unless you need to squeeze our every second possible and you can't recharge it for days, you can safely keep it on.
Please see my detailed power consumption tests at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1184&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 if interested

Hi,
You'll probably need to start bluetooth via the comm manager.
It will find other hardware with open bluetooth ports.
- Go to the file you wish to beam to someone else.
- Tap the file (keep the stylus on it untill you get the menu)
- Choose " send file" (this might be called differently, my version is dutch)
- Select bluetooth.
Good luck!
Greetz,

it doesnt seem to work
when I beam a file, it never detects a bluetooth. all it shows is the Infared and searching... it searches for a long time but never detects a bluetooth. any other suggestions?

Hi,
The procedure I gave seems to work properly with my MDA.
You could check if the person you're beaming to has bluetooth (turned on) but I guess you've checked that already.
Otherwise try to minimize the distance between the two pieces of hardware.
If that doesn't solve your problem, I can't help you any further, maybe bring it by the shop where you bought it to have it checked?
Good luck & greetz,

yeah same here never managed to get bluetooth to work
i found that i needed to enable beam recieve in order to recieve on bluetooth, the incoming and outgoing port stuff i left alone.
so i can now receive files but haven't got a clue how to send them, i make a bluetooth partnership ok (my mate can then send me a file) but i can not find the option to send one back. the file explorer menu doesn't have bluetooth listed on it?

I am having this same issue. Anyone know the solution? All I want to do is send some files to my wife's v3 but I cant setup a new outgoing port. I am running the latest official rom from cingular.
You need to ensure you already have bluetooth turned on before starting this procedure (many miss this simple point, as they assume it will automatically turned on)
Tap and hold on the file you want to send, and select "Beam"
Wait a few seconds for it to scan for devices.
All IRDA recipients (If any) will be listed, and below them, all available Bluetooth recipients will be shown.
Hope this helps you m8
I'm using TMobile MDA, newest ROM, and having the same problem, I'm able to recieve bluetooth but there is no option for beaming a file via bluetooth, only IR... and yes, bluetooth is enabled properly and I am properly partnered with a V3...

Make sure both phones are enabled to be "seen" . My friend and I were trying to figure this out the other day, and she has her device set to something like 'make this device invisible' so even though our phones were next to each other, her device wasn't showing up. Once we changed this, both devices were visible.
***However, neither phone was allowing the sending of files to each other thru the bluetooth, and I'm wondering if this has something to do with her having a Sprint Treo 650 w/ Palm OS, and I have Cingular 8125 w/ WM5.... anyone have any answers for this one??***
Thanks in advance.
is this possible from the atom life?
i can receive files alright. but today i want to send a file to my friend's phone and i found that i couldnt apart from doing that infrared beam thing
