The only bluetooth functions I get on my MDA Pro are Headset and Serial Port. I'm desperate for File Transfer... does anyone know how to get it? Thanks!
They are there, just not visible..
Try sending a file to your Universal through BT, and it shall recieve it..
Make sure that the beam settings are "Accept all inncoming"
if you use the inbuilt file explorer on any file, you can press and hold, then select beam file. if bluetooth is on, it will:
1. search the infra red port
2. Search all surrounding devices with bluetooth on, and discoverable.
then you can just select where you want it to go.
Transfer files using bluetooth
Does anyone know how I could transfer a file from my Qtek 9000 to my Nokia N70 (Symbian OS) using BLUETOOTH. When I pair the two I get "Dialup networking” only I cannot find a way of transferring files from one device to the other. Please include step by step instructions if you know how.
Thanks

1. Enable Bluetooth on both devices;
2. Open File Explorer, go to the desired file, hold the stylus down (like right click on a PC) and choose "Beam File" (this works with Bluetooth as well as Infrared)
3. Choose Nokia N70 or its assigned device name when you see it on the list
File sent as a message not as a files transfer
Yes thanks i tried doing what you suggested, but it sent the file from the Qtek 9000 to the N70 -> recieved it as a message and i could not save the actual file anywhere on t he N70?
Well, what does the message look like? What type of file are you trying to transfer? I would expect you be able to save an attachment or something similar. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the Symbian OS.

Either I'm doing something stupid here, but.. if I send a file from my desktop to my MDA Pro (BT enabled, accept incoming beams enabled) I just get a message saying 'ftp service not found on target device'
If I explore available services I can see DUN and Voice Gateway... am I missing something?

Im very familiar with symbian OS but new with PPCs so should be able to help!
Install a file explorer such as fexplorer onto your n70. Fexplorer on the root page has a mail option, and when you enter it, you can see all the files recieved via btooth/mms. Copy the file and paste it to your desired location using fexplorer. Alternatively, if the file explorer you use doesn't have the "mail" option on the home of the sw, visit x:/system/mail (x= c or e depending on where messages are stored) and browse throygh the folders until you find the attachment and paste it to where you want.
Thanks
Thanks very much, i did what you said, but the mail opton was not there, instead i found the Inbox directory and there was what i was looking for, so thanks again...

Browse and BT transfer data from deviceA to deviceB
I check BtCrawler it does not let you transfer files between device, what i am looking for is something like a file explorer where (once two devices are connected via BT) then one can copy files (using a fileexplorer type of interface from one location in device A to another location in Device B. Veyr easy stuff really but cannot do it anymore in Qtek 9000 WM5, whereas in my Blueangel WM2003 i used to have that exact functionlity, and i used to do it by transfering files from my Cellular camera to my PDA.

OK, got you this time. WM5 only supports Obex-Push (trabsfering V-Cards and stuff). It currently does not support Obex-FTP which is exactly what you are looking for. Maybe some future updates from M$ will add this functionality, so I hope...
cheers
Thanks, but if you find any software that provided the " Obex-FTP" on the WM5 PDA could you please send me a message.
isnt it possible that we can update the bluetooth stack to the widcomm one?

I'd like to know if this is possible.
I am not sure if this is already posted elsewhere because I did a search and couldn't find that.
Does anyone know how to change the home folder for bluetooth recieved files? I need to change that to recieve files directly to my MicroSD card not in the main memory (which has not enough space most of the time).
Any help?
It looks that you cannot specify the directory for bluetooth incoming files.
MS Bluetooth stack does not have such a option.
You can solve a part of this problem by using "Dr.Yar bluetooth 1.51" software. It will add FTP bluetooth profile for your phone and it will give you a ability to choose the folder for saving files.
But!
Some sending devices use OBEX file transfer instead of using FTP bluetooth file transfer. For this cases standard MS OBEX profile will be used and files will be saved into "/My Documents" folder.
This software works great; be sure to double-click the bluetooth icon to Start the program.

This app came in handle as I didn't needed a data cable to transfer file. Is there a equivalent android app? cheers in advance
It came in a handle? How weird!
I presume you mean you want to be able to browse and transfer files with your LAN over WiFi? If so, you want an app called "EStrong file explorer", which has LAN capability.

Yes that what I meant, transferring files with my LAN over Wifi
cheers for that
What is the best way to transfer large amounts of data between Desire HD's? My girlfriend got herself one as well after playing around with mine for a few days =) We see ourselves sending each other files ranging from 10MB to 100MB (occasionally more). And by this I mean when we're together away from home like when we meetup on Friday nights after work so no access to a PC.
Is Bluetooth suitable for transferring files of such sizes? Even if it would, wouldn't that take forever?
Will wifi be an option? If so, how? Are there apps that facilitate Andriod <=> Android file transfers?
Thanks in advance!
in my opinion the fastest method is to connect both of the DHD to a computer and transfer the file.
in another case wifi is pretty fast but i dont know how to transfer with it.

Samba. Never tried it on android but should work a treat if you can get it set up, though it does require root.

The easiest way is to get an app called Bump. Download it to both phones, select a file and Bump the phones together, and the transfer begins.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bump/com.bumptech.bumpga
You can also turn one of your DHDs into a file server a browse it with the other app. There are quite a lot of alternatives. Search appbrain for "file server".
E.g:
SwiFTP FTP Server
http://www.appbrain.com/app/swiftp-ftp-server/org.swiftp
it turns a DHD into an FTP server, you can then use the IP address ti access it with an FTP client from the desktop or DHD (Astro, AnyFTP, etc.) and transfer files. The transfer will be as fast as the Wifi or network you are using.
Hey!
I want to transfer (image) files between my android phone and a pc. Am I correct in assuming that as long as the phone is already configured and connected to the same wifi network as the pc, I just use standard java code (like sockets) to transfer the files to/from the phone?
If not, could anyone point me to the android specific way of exchanging files over wifi?
Look up WebSharing app in market
SwiFTP or Symbian
No no, it looks like I didn't word it right. I'm not after an existing app to transfer files.
The application that I'm coding does a lot more than just exchange files, it's just that I need to code some file exchange as part of the application.
JCIFS Samba, I believe is what you need.
