How do you receive files/pictures/contacts via bluetooth?

Hi,
A bit new to PPC and the Magician, just got delivery of my i-mate JAM yesterday.
This might well be user error and a case of RTFM but I can't work out how I send contact information/ pictures/ mp3s or pretty much anything else to my JAM via bluetooth. I've tried sending files from my old P910 and also from a friends XDA IIi. I see no response on the JAM at all and the P910 just errors out saying it was not possible to send. The error message on the XDA was a little more meaningfull though I cant remember exactly what it was but something along the lines of the device not supporting the operation.
I've searched through all the posts on this forum and googled for an answer but not come up with anything yet
Its a brand new i-mate JAM with nothing extra on it running 1.11.0 WWE ROM, 1.11.0 radio version, 1.11.179 WWE ExtROM
THanks in advance for any help

You can use your File explorer and the send-to option to send files via bluetooth.

here is a challenge for all the pros in here :lol:
How to make this work(file explorer/resco explorer) with the Bluesoleil stack ?

How do you receive files/pictures/contacts via bluetooth
Have you tried this cab file " SwitchIT.CAB " ?
I had the same problem , i could send to another machin but not recieve anything. Install the SwitchIT.CAB onto your machine and enable Obex On this should solve the problem . Cheers

... or simply go into Settings>Connections>Beam>Receive incoming beams (checkbox).. After that, you should be able to receive both IR and BT incoming files.

Yes, that's all you need to do. My wife is constantly beaming appointments to my O2 Xda II mini from her Palm Treo 650 at home. When I next pick it up there are multiple items waiting to be saved. Works a treat.

The MS Stack the Magician uses only lets you choose whether to accept a file after it has already been accepted. If you recieve a 5 meg file, you'll get no confirmation until the transfer is complete, then it will ask if you want to accept.

Send contact Via Bluetooth

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!

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:

bluetooth file transfer question

hellO I know this has been asked already but what program do d use to edit my registry file this in adv

I think all you have to do is Start/Settings/Connectoins/Beam and check receive all incoming beams. When you want to send a file via bluetooth, you select the file in File Explorer to bring up the beam. You will need to wait while WM finds the bluetooth devices (WM initially looks for infrared then bluetooth).
But here's the reg setting to answer your question...
15. Enable Bluetooth receive
Registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex
Key: IsEnabled (dWord)
Value: 1 = enabled
2 = disabled

It's funny how no matter how long you own these devices you never stop learning things. I have always had "spotty" ability to use the Bluetooth FTP service and this is why. Who would have thought you would have to turn on your infrared beam receive capability to make bluetooth receive also work. Very strange but thanks for the tip!

Yup, this has always been a problem with the MS BT stack. Also see my article I published about two months ago (it's worth reading all my articles because I've explained a LOT of never-before-explained issues like this) on the issue: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1196&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Bluetooth Receive problem

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 not receive anything via bluetooth.

Hello personnel, I am not achieving anything receive via bluetooth. Already activated "receive all incoming beams" the function, pointed out already seen by all, and nothing. When I try to get the following message appears "impossible connect."
We can send normal.
I am using the original rom, it would need a change in the registry?

hi there,
receive all incoming beam is for infrared!
go to command manager and start bluetooth there. (a blue led shoul blink if on)
then in command manager menu go to bluetooth settings an turn things like "make this device visible to others" or something like that on. also check the ftp thingies then it should work.
if u need more info check the manual
