Hey!
I got a Hermes a while ago, and I still cant seem to figure out how to use the Bluetooth on it. I checked the help in my phone, and that didn't really help much either. I also don't understand how to send and receive files, and what COM ports are. Could someone explain to me how to use the Bluetooth on this phone?
Thanks in advance!
Click both boxes in the Bluetooth settings.
To send, highlight your file & click 'Beam', then a list of bluetooth devices will appear, select the one you want. Hey Presto!
Thanks!!
It seemed so simple when I clicked on those options! Do you know how to use the COM port and what the are for?

hi
was looking to send a contact from one phone to another over bluetooth but noticed that on wm2005 this option is missing on the universal
Does anyone have any ideas or is it just another missing feature on the Imate
I do wish they would hurry up and fix all the teething problems with this device
Cheers
Select the contact and then goto Menu>Beam Contact... and it will search for avliable "beams" (IrDA and Bluetooth...) :shock:

I have both a pda2k and an imate jasjar. I copied 234 contacts from the pda to the jj in 4 minutes via bluetooth. And this is OK.
Then I tried the opposite.
If you establish a BT connection between the devices, the use the same option as for the IR connection. I tried and it worked. I kept the two separate with IR ports opposite that it could be impossible to establish a different connection rather than the BT one.
It worked!
Sending contacts via bluetooth
How do you select all contacts to beam them? I only seem to be able to select one at a time (Windows Mobile 5 - i-mate k-Jam)

Is this the same for ordinary files? I was looking to BT something to someone yesterday and couldn't see a 'Send via BT' option

If you install Pocket Informant you can select multiple contacts for beaming
AndyCr15 - yes that is the case with "ordinary" files. Obviously, if the Operating System will let you send them via Bluetooh/a.k.a "Beam". :roll:
Hi,
I have this annoying problem with my Prophet. I cannot transmit or receive files through bluetooth. I thought it is a WM 5 thing, but it works on my friends smartphone and dell PDA.
Did i do the ROM upgrade incorrectly, or is this inline with the patch of bad luck that i am getting with my prophet?
Cheers,
Oz.
Please, describe what are you doing when you try to send/receive files...
Hi
Go to settings>connections>beam and make sure its ticked to "recieve all incoming beams"
To send files just search them using the provided file explorer, tap and hold and then select "beam file"
IT will then search for nearby BT devices. Click tap to send.
You can beam to loads of ppl at once as well, so thats cool.
The one thing I cant work out as of yet is how to change my default recieve directory from My Documents. I want to recieve files on my storage card *grrr* but I guess it will ahve to do for now.
I have a ALLTEL 6800 with WM6 stock rom and I can recieve files/songs from other phones via bluetooth with no problem but I can not sent a file/mp3 any kinda way. I looked through the manual and read the one online but they say to tap the file you want to send, click menu, than tools but I have no tools on mine so I don't know if mine is missing something or what. If anyone can help me out with what I might be doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Tap the file, then go to menu, then select "Beam file"
Works the same with infrared to.
Hi all.
I have the old qtek 9100, flashed about 4 roms on it without any troubles thanks to the guides here. But every time , with everyone of these roms, I couldn't receive any data from any bluetooth phone . I can pair, send items, but i can't receive any data from the phones.
Also the pairing with my pc is working correctly, can send itrems from my pc to the wizard.
So anyone has this issue until now, or shoul I start reading all these topics again?
This usually happans when the 'Bluetooth Name' is different from your Owner name.
You might have tried installing Dr.Yar bluetooth and tried to change the name as it appears on other bluetooth search results, or perhaps you used some registry editor to change the name. Search the term 'bluetooth' with any registry editor and you'll find a key which shows the name of your bluetooth device as it appears on other's search result. You don't need to reflash it, you just need a hard rest. See if it works.
let us know if it doesn't.

My bluetooth name differed from my owner name, i changed it to both the same and gave the htc a soft reboot, but no luck. I can´t find anything in the registry considering the bluetooth name, where did you find that in the registry?
Did you try a hard reset? This problem doesn't solve itself if you simply reset the bluetooth device's name to the owner name. I think you have do a hard reset for that.
no tweaks in the registry, and above all, this issue happened from the first Wm5 original version and to the last of them, Wm6. Oh, and btw... the Dr.Yar Bluetooth app does not work in the version of TNT wm6, altough it has been cooked in this version.... And hard reset? It didn't worked, I thought it was some security issue with the bluetooth..

I can send files but not receive with bluetooth. I am paired up with my mates phone, he can see me, ive ticked the receive incoming files box, ive tried with and without the 'authentication passkey required' box ticked. I installed something 'obex inbox' but that did squat all. any ideas??
I had the same issue pal, in the "obex inbox settings" make sure that the default download directory points to an ACTUALLY EXISTING directory. If it doesn't then type in an existing path (i.e. "\Storage Card\[a folder of your choosing that actually exists]). Browsing did not work for me, i had to manually insert the path. I guess it is probably a localisation's issue, but after this little trick everything came back to normal and i could send/receive files without any problems. Hope this works for you
Hi mate! This also happened to me after installing an application that i think is not compatible with xperia and i just hard reset my phone to fix it.
Can you explain in details what you did to correct the problem? I would really appreciate it and thanks in advance.
<error in post, removed>
Where can i find the "obex inbox settings"?
Yes i have the same problem. I am not sure if i had installed a programm that isn't compatible with xperia. I hav installed some games and some progs. Can i solve the problem by unistalling the progs or have i also to do a hard reset??
PS: Sorry for my bad englisch.
it won't do you any good as that is what i have done also. let just wait for MacCarron to further explain what he did or if you can't wait just hard reset your phone but be sure to backup of your contacts first.
When im in Setting>Connections>Obex Inbox, I cannot find 'Settings'. The two soft keys at the bottom just display whatever program is running 'benneath' it. When i press on the three dots '...' next to the 'File store path' text box nothing happens. In this text box there is already the path '\Storage Card\FTP' and I have manually created a folder 'FTP' in my storage cards root directory. Did you guys have this same problem?
I still cannot receive bluetooth files!
Why can´t I find this menu "Setting>Connections>Obex Inbox" ??
You need to download it and install it:

It sounded really odd to us when we tried the Bluetooth, but the magic word is Beam, you need to go to Setting -> Connection ->Beam -> and tick the box "Receive all incoming beams.
No installs or downloads anything else needed for me. I think it's the same for the HTC handset, maybe for all Windows Mobile phones, correct me if I am wrong, would be interesting to find out.
I have ticked the box, but nothing happens. I still can't receive anything.
I also have tried Obex Inbox. I changed the settings, but that doens't help.
Is here somebody that has another idea instead of a hard reset? Probably unistalling all programms that aren't compatibele with Xperia.
Does anyone know how i can find out which programm is compatible and which isn't??
Please help.

as i've told you before uninstalling apps will not make any difference mate because i've tried it before until i came to the point that all that was left was the original apps in my xperia. anyway maybe others can share their experience too including a solution. as for now after the hard reset i am more careful with the apps i'm installing as reading every comments of all users and being sure that it is really compatible with wm 6.1 and xperia

Have you tried "revisiting the box"? It has a habit of unticking itself, it si on mine anyway.
I have been using the OBEX Inbox cab...
I love it!! No problems with on my X1i generic UK ROM!
On the OBEX file transfer problem here is a little insight from a problem I had!!
I installed PocketMax Phone Alarm. And I started to have the exact same Problem!! But I still could active sync too!!
What I found out, it was messing with the the OBEX Service Mask Setting!!
So to allow OBEX File transfers to work correctly.
You must make sure these setting are correct in the registry!!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\
:IsEnabled- 0x1(1)
:ObexServiceMask- 0x3(3)
hth,

Possible Solution! (If your using Phonealarm)
I've had the same problem with not being able to receive bluetooth files on my xperia.
Turns out its PhoneAlarm thats blocking them.
Under Profiles, make sure the setting "Activate IR" is on.
yes, there's no need to install anything just to receive and/or send files over bluetooth.
when you attempt to receive, do you see any pop up message prompting if you want to receive (if you have previously click yes, then it'll be default for subsequent receiving from the same device)
if your device is receiving but you ended up seeing no files in your folder, it could be that your device is running out of storage.
