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.

Hi peeps.
After reading through various posts on this board, I thought I would hard resst my exec and install the cabs manually as suggested to get the features I want without the bloatware.
So far so good, installed everything I wanted and the connections only cab that is availble but, my MMS doesn't seem to work.
There is no MMS account in poutlook and there's noway that I can see of composing new MMS messages.
How does everyone else go on with this because when I've looked through some of the posts, everyone says thier SMS is working OK.
It's probably something stupid... :roll:
Cheers,
Smiff.
See? That's what happens when you don't proof-read your posts - there's loads of spelling mistooks and typos; and then no-one responds.
But seriously, someone else must have seen this as I'm not the only one to do a minimal install. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Smiff.
Answers in this thread for the cab file to install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32527
I've read that one multiple times but still have no working MMS in this situation...
I THINK
I beleive you have to create new account. It appears to be setting up email just continue through and at some point you can select type and set to mms. Then highlight account click on settings and put in your providers mms setting and bingo...
must say I havent had this problem on the exec but did on xdaiis and that solved it..
hope that helps
stay happy

Hi
Thanks for the tip but unfortunately, it didn't work that way
However, I have managed to get it working now - i did a hard reset again and a clean install and then installed 5 cabs - voicemail one, bt patch, both "shortcut" ones and the uaprof one.
The only thing I did differently this time from all the others is that I switched it off with the power button and on again before soft resetting it - i'm pretty sure that this did the trick
Cheers,
Smiff.
Hi there,
Can anyone help me with an odd sms problem?
After installing some programs to try and back up my text messages from my xda exec, which were unsuccessful, I've since uninstalled them and now discovered I'm not recieiving any incoming text messages... only the network voicemail 901 messages ever get through, but whenever a text message comes in I get a dialogue appear saying
"smsengine.exe
The file 'smsengine' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
when "ok" is clicked, the dialogue closes, then when the pocket outlook is opened I get a small dialogue box saying
"SendMyMessage
SendMessage failed.
TimeOut!"
Obviously I can't ever see what the message was, it just never gets displayed in Pocket Outlook (presumably due to the error above )
Any Ideas what I can do? is smsengine.exe a standard WM5 program, if so, can somebody find it on their machine, copy and email it to me, and tell me where to save it to?
Or do I need to muck about in the registry?
I can't reset my phone to factory defaults because I have some really, really really important text messages relating to my employment which was why I started this mucking about trying to back up the messages in the first place... so I'm really stuck now, and I'd really appreciate if someone could offer some advice on what the best approach would be.
hi,
I've heard of smsengine.exe afaik its not a standard wm5 file i'd say whatever programs you installed to backup are the cause of your problems.
I'd reinstall the programs and remove 1 at a time to see which is the cause
What programs did you install?
solved - thanks - any other sms backups that might work?
Thanks Deadmetal
Strangely I'd already tried uninstalling, with no luck, but tried reinstalling, then removing, and eventually the problem seems to have fixed itself using this proceedure. very odd!
The program I installed was smsOrganizer by zedsoft
http://www.zedsoft.net/
Which doesnt seem to work on the Exec for some reason, even though it says its WM2005 (which I presume is WM5 - if I'm wrong with this assumption it might explain why it messed it up <grin>)
Can anyone recommend a good (free) tool to backup sms messages under WM5 that I can use?
Thanks for the help
Derek
Ah! smsorganiser! Yeah I thought the software you had been using was that. I've had several problems using it but it does look a decent piece of software if the bugs ever get ironed out!
the problem keeps on!
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..

Hey evry1. I've got my Mogul running the "official" 6.1 update and everything was working fine until i noticed that i cant recieve any "incoming" bluetooth files anymore. I can add/connect/send files and pics to other phones, but when someone tries to send me something, their phones all say "unable to connect". I dont see any incoming notifications on my phone screen and i have them added on my "known devices" list. Anyone have any ideas? I did a hard reset and reinstalled my programs and still the same issue. Appreciate any info...!!
This is normal. Incoming OBEX is disabled by default in all sorts of Windows Mobile phones for some reason. I should tell you to search because this has been covered many times, but here are the registry keys:
HKLM\Services\OBEX
(Change the "Keep" setting to "0")
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Obex
(Change "IsEnabled" to "1")
thats the thing, i did search prior to my post and my registry does have the entries you posted and i still dont get any incoming beams..not quite sure what the deal is
You do have the accept all incoming beams tab checked right?

See I have some of the same problems you are having - both with the mogul and with the touch.
but I cant even SEND contacts or pictures at this point, let alone recieve them.
I used to be able on 6.0 to open a contact.. hold the stylus on them - click on send and click bluetooth and presto - sent.. I cant do that now..
Supposedly there is another fix around xda according to another tech that I talked to during the HTC training we had yesterday.. and btw - the htc rep had no idea there was a mogul / touch bluetooth issue.. jerkoffs..
anyhow - thoughts? comments? Links to the fix that lets me send photos and contacts via bluetooth?

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...!
