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 Guys.
What software do you use to send files via bluetooth?
I believe the default file explorer cannot do this and I have tried GSFinder but couldnt see how to do it in that either.
I know its possible in Resco, but i wanted something a bit more light weight if possible and it is not free.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I send a BT file using the default file explorer. Who told you it can't do the job ? I even had problems sending a file using Resco file explorer, it won't let m send any file, I get error message.
How do you send files via Bluetooth in the normal file explorer? I can see options to Beam file, send via mms and email. when I choose beam its to do with Infra Red.
When I use Resco I had no problems, chose send then by what method.
Thanks for your reply.
You select the beam file option from the menu, then wait, it will first try to send via infrared then will look for bluetooth receivers in the area. I just found this out the other day myself. I also think you need to have receive all beam types checked also (which I think is the default) [Start/Setting/Connections/Beam].
I have problems sending files from a PC to the Wizard... how do you use bluetooth to send it over?
Can we send files from a PC to the wizard using bluetooth? Is there any other way to manage files on the PDA without activesync?

You are quite right! I chose that option and only saw the infra red option, my tip to anyone wanting to do this is activate bluetooth, ensure other bluetooth device is close and the press beam, it will search and find the bluetooth device!
Thanks tekknogenius
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.
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?
Hella all
First post
Got my HD love the Phone, but i have a slight problem, when i recieve Files via Bluetooth/Beam they dissapear into the abyss, i cannot find them anywhere, i have tried the search programme and traweld through every directory on my phone what if anything am i doing wrong?
slp
/Documents maybe ?
You are lucky to start ur WM experience with a device like HD
Nothing in /documents, i tried again today, wrote down the file name before it was sent so i couldn`t go wrong, did a search for the file, nothing found, its driving me mad
If you're using a programme like 'obex inbox' which lets you specify where to receive bluetooth files and if by chance you haven't configured it or configured it to receive files to 'My Device', then I believe you'll get the kind of behaviour you're describing. So, to check if you have obex inbox installed check in settings\connections and also in programs if it is there, and if it is, change the directory for receiving files.
Hopefully this should provide you some clue as to what might be going wrong...
Good Luck
Try /FTP in the storagecard. And to check if your phone received try sending an mp3 file then go to Music and click on Library > All Songs and your phone should search for every mp3 file. If the file couldn't be found there, then that means your phone failed to receive it!
Try DrYar bluetooth. It works much better, lets you specify incoming directory, and it installs an icon on main screen for quick bluetooth on/off . I had a lot of problems on my Hermes with default bluetooth also, and this is just so much better.
DrYar bluetooth
very quick silly question, cos i had a friend with the same issue.
When you are recieving the beam, you get the icon at the top. and when it has finished beaming, it is not yet saved, so you cannot access it. Now normally you should get a notification that you have received a file and ask you if you want to save it.
If the notification does not appear, tap the beam icon at the top and then it should.
tap yes and then it should appear in my documents or the folder you set in bluetooth FTP.
If it's not that, sorry for being daft, but you'd be amazed how many times i've been asked that on various different HTC phones...!
how the hell do you send multiple files through bluetooth. its not possible to do this. i can only send one file then i have to send the other. i wan to highlight say 3 music tracks and send them using bluetooth. but it dont let me. any help
Go into Settings tab > menu > all settings > bluetooth. Click right hand tab, select BT Send Object. Select Audio, highlight the files you want, press SEND.
And be glad you don't have an iPhone, which can't even send one file over bluetooth.
thanks man

Well I think you could have tried this, it is very obvious.
In file manager, tap & hold the file and select "Send via Bluetooth".
well, you can create a zip archive using any free tool and send them, I'm currently looking for an app that enables sending multiple files, but I only found old ones that support infra red >.>
it's helpful for sending multiple objects that don't appear in the BT send object menu
[edit] Resco File explorer apparently sends multiple files via bluetooth (sending different types of files at the same time as well), but it's a paid app
Use Dropbox
I've found a workaround... I send multiple photos to dropbox then cut/paste them from dropbox to whatever folder I want. That way I don't use up the allotted space with dropbox. Works for me!
