How to transfer files using Bluetooth? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have an xda II and i don't seem to have an option to do file transfer using bluetooth? I only have an infrared option under Beam.
Is there anyway of having a bluetooth file transfer option on xda II?

total commander give me that option

Use infrared Option, then wait for a while it will give option to sent via bluetooth

I use
Total Commander CE/Pocket 2.5 public beta 3

You can use gsfinder+ 1.04.
Connect Bluetooth.
Select send by infrared... and the program search first by infrared, after by bluetooth, it's work.

Resco Explorer BlueTooth File Transfer

A workaround to enable Resco Explorer BlueTooth file transfers.
Uncheck Use IrDA via OBEX under General Options.
Select the file for transfer and choose Send To - Infrared Recipient...
This will take you to the Beam File... (Beam) screen similar to the one when you want to transfer files using IrDA / BT in File Explorer.
If the Xda II and the target device BT is enabled detection and transfer as per normal.
Took me a couples of days to figure that out too..
Good post.
Great, I was expecting someone to find something for resco explorer
Thanks
where can I download the resco explorer from?
I am using i-mate PDA2K with Windows 2002 but I couldn't send any bluetooth
message so far?
i use the file explorer to browse the vailable bluetooth devices near to me
but it's just showing Searching and nothing happens after that?
what is the problem?

Bluetooth Software for Sending files

I search Bluetooth Software for Sending files any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance ..
resco explorer
resco explorer doesnt provide the possibility to send files via bluetooth on the jam.
perhaps the f...ing bt stack is responsible for that ;-)

that's not true, when you press beam file with resco, it automatically searches for ir or bt devices. It works really good with my jam.
Yeap...Resco really good with my jam... :wink:

You can do the same ting using the bulit in explorer too... no need to buy resco to send files via BT
Use the Built in File Explorer. It is just as good.
how do you guys do this? nowhere in the file explorer does it let me beam files via bluetooth. the only option available is via stodgy infrared.

I have resco explorer (in French) and I don't see Beam File
When I press and hold on a file, the popup menu ask me "send to" then I have 2 choices "Email" and "infrared"
I'm I missing something ??

yes, they're.. first turn on your bluetooth... then hold on the file for few sec on file explorer.... select Beam File... It would now searching for bt device surrounding u.....
Yeeee Haaaah! it works thanks! (next time I'll switch bluetooth on before sending files via bluetooth.... duh!)
Send via bluetooth options simply not avalabile to me and dirving me nuts! I have an imate Jam:
R 1.01.00
G 1337.38
D 1.03.00 WWE
Bluetooth is well and truly turned on but Resco (2003 v5.13) only gives Infrared & Email options. No Bluetooth option on file explorer either!
Am I missing something here - have tried soft resetting after turning BT on and everything else I can think of.
Some forums talking about MS BT stack limitations but don't understand why you guys see the Send via BT option & I don't?
Thanks,
M
There is no "Beam via Bluetooth" option, this is only for iPaqs, just select the "send to -> infrared receipient" option, this will also search for bluetooth devices aside from infrared devices. Remember to turn on your bluetooth first.
I can do with the File Explorer but no luck with Resco.
OK - got a response with file explorer - phew - thanks. No go with Resco though - sending to infrared recipient brings up a "Beam Files (OBEX)" screen but it does not find bluetooth devices.
When using Resco Explorer for sending files via bluetooth, you have to disable "Use IrDA via OBEX" for it to work.
Thanks ZX
Many Thanks for ur posts
Resco now runs smoothly... 8) 8) 8)

Did u "enable all incoming" in settings > connections > transmission/transfer on the mini?
Withoit this, your mini will refuse incoming files via bluetooth or ir.

Sending files via Bluetooth in JAM?

How to do so by file explorer??
AS u know Microsoft protocol for Bluetooth is so restricted even it can't send file via bt!
Is there any 3rd party prog. that solve such problem??
Yes, there is a program available.
The excellent Resco Explorer 5.2, allows Send by BT, earlier versions only supported Send by BT on iPAQs.

Very good value for money.

From File Explorer just tap and hold on the file and then select beam file from the pop up menu. Remember to switch on the BLuetooth first.
Of course you can send files via Bluetooth with MS stack!!!!
Total Commander for PPC (link below) - free and allows beam (IR/BT etc) from Total COmmander interface (which is like file explorer)

yogioz how kan you send file by BT in Total Commander? I can send only by irda :roll:
Mate - you use beam in file explorer (TC fixes this). Beam will use irda or BT - provided you turn your BT on first. You will get irda and below that is searching. The 'searching' is looking for BT......

Are you guys saying that without TC you could not get BT to work from File Explorer? I never installed Total Command and have been sending files via BT from File Explorer since day 1 of my magician!

File Explorer - how to - "Send via Bluetooth"

Hi. How do I send a file via Bluetooth ? I paired with another mobile (Nokia - symbian OS) but I still can't find a way to send any file. In File Explorer it gives me options like "send via email" or "beam" - but no Bluetooth option.

The native file explorer doesn't support bluetooth sending. You should try some 3rd party file-explorer. I use Resco Explorer. I just upgraded to the latest version (Resco Explorer 2005) and i must say, it really works like a dream. And you can send files using bluetooth.
However, Resco Explorer is shareware. If you want freeware, you can also look for other good file explorers like 'Total Commander' and GS Finder, although they don't have all the extra usefull features that Resco Explorer give.

The built in explorer WILL send file via bluetooth. The "Beam" will search for all IR and Bluetooth devices. Just hit beam and wait, you will see the devices ID address come up first then there ID name will appear. Then just tap the "send" command next to the device ID your sending to.
I tried the beam - it searches only for Infra devices - not bluetooth. It doesn't even list the paired devices.
I installed Resco Explorer - and it does give me an option to send a file through Bluetooth from that.
*edit*
@ampda
Ok. He is right. It does search for bluetooth in Beam option also. Thanks. Works great.
I'm using version 5.1 of Resco Explorer but it seems to don't even recognize the bluetooth: :?

Where are all the bluetooth functions (esp. File Transfer)?

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...
I don't know if anyone remembers the old widcomm bt versions on blueangel, but u used to be able to browse other devices and stuff, well, I'd like to be able to do this, I miss this function....

something like this? http://www.silentservices.de/btCrawler.html
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?
