After upgrading to WM6, i can't seem to send files using bluetooth. There isnt any options in the file manager menu that allows sending files via bluetooth. U can only beam or send the file using infra. Does anyone encounter this problem or has any solution to it????
hello,
i think it's a little bug, you have to select send to --> via ir
than it will come a list with some possibilities, one of them is sending via blue tooth.
ich think it's an translation bug from the sending menu or something else.

turn bean ant bt on, then select beam file and choose the bt device to which you want to send
Well I also can't send files by bluetooth :/ I'm doing what you said about Via IR but BT is not used and there is no option to use it :/
use resco explorer, it is better, you are right that there is no option for beaming via BT
For me, u just beam file and then the phone will detect BT devices. U may select the device and send.
Has anyone been successful in receiving and sending files via bluetooth with the beam off. I just noticed that if the beam off i can neither send or receive files via bluetooth. Can someone confirm this or its just my BA acting weird...

Do you refer to option "turn incoming beam off"? If you do, then i can't say it's not a bug, it's an option to save battery so you only turn it on when you want to receive/send files.
I hope it helps.
What i mean is you can neither receive or send files via bluetooth if the beam (infrared) is off.

I wonder krishan2207 if it resolves Vista Bluetooth Active Sync/WMDC problems. Active sync service is not listed among the options on any of my BT devices. Has anybody made breakthrough at syncing via BT?
I sync via BT. IIRC I had to create a BT com port on the PC to get it going on WM5. On WM6 it finds the ActiveSync service with no problems.

I found the Broadcomm stack 1.7 you were talking about but does this work correctly with wifi.
I remember the 2 of them weren't working together correctly.
Do you have any issues with your wm6 using wifi since you installed this buletooth stack?

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

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.
Hi all!,
I own a qtek s100, and I can perfectly send files to other devices,
but I can't receive anything from the others. If someone tries to send
me something via BT they'll always get an error connection.
Do I have to make any special configuration?.
Thanks for your help

You should swith on "Recive all incoming beams" in Setting/Connections/Beam
I tried it but It didn't work anyway,
any ideas??
Sorry,
do you mean the infrared incoming option?.
Do you have to activate it even if you want to receive sth via BT ?
I'll try it later on,
regards,
Eduardo
Yes this option swith on|off beams over IR and BT
You should activate your BT, and make sure that it's ticked in the "Make this device discoverable to other devices", then go to Devices menu and search for new devices.
IR and BT has got nothing to do with eachother
IR is light, and the devices have to "see" eachother ( IR-eye to IR-eye), BT is radio-waves, and devices don't have to "see" eachother, the range is app 8 meters...
.
U should try one of the bluetooth drivers you can find on this forum. I had the same problems with some samsung phones. I installed one of the bluetooth drivers and i had no more problems with sending and receiving files.
for example this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36395
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.
