Guys can someone explain me please what does the function under "connections" beam mean? What is the difference between checking and unchecking the option "Receive all incoming beams"?
I believe it's for WM phones and pda's that have ir sensors on them, so you could point one phone at another and transfer a file. I don't think the Touch HD has one; that screen is just part of the WM OS.
Read your manual.
Beam is a method of sending/receiving info like contacts between phones
Disabling 'Beam' in Settings reportedly conserves power. I can confirm this.
Caution, disabling beam will affect Bluetooth send/receive with other phones

Has anyone noticed that when you enter contacts and select a person, once you try to access the "send via bluetooth" option as in wm2003se it seems to have dissappered in WM2005 on the imate jasjar,
Although a cool device, a bit on the slow side, i've had to hack the device to death in order to get any decent speed gains out of it. Bluetooth doesn't seem to offer any services like Obex file transfer. Could this be why all connection to other bluetooth devices fail seeing as the profile in Bluetooth is unsupported on Firmware version JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip ??

this is in WIKI
To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex'
The 'IsEnabled' DWORD value should be set to '1' to enable OBEX and '0' to disable OBEX.
For example, to enable the ability to receive fles via Bluetooth
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1
says receive so i dont know about send, try it!! might be it
how about explore other devices
I was beaming file to JasJar without the hack for some reason. Still works ok for me now :?
i aint tried, i hardly ever use bluetooth, soz bub
thanks a bunch Carnivor
will try this now
it worked !
I can now recieve files via obex
Cheers once more
kewl, i just recalled reading OBEX in WIKI, definatly worth a shot that worked for you.
If you turn on "receive incoming beams" u can receive BT files without the hack. The above is no longer just for IR, hence the red AND blue icon.
Any ideas what folder it puts the received files in?
Can you change it?

So does this mean if we turn OFF "receive incoming beams" it also disables a part of the bluetooth functionality?
Sorry if this has been asked but i could not find it through search.
If i try to transfer file or picture or ringtone to another phone i dont have beam by bluetooth.
The manual says right click then beam file but this only opens infra red screen.
I dont seem to have bluetooth for transfering but i can connect to other devices and use hands free in car no problem.
Any ideas?

You need to edit the registry to enable OBEX transfer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=289941#289941
it still doesnt work
even with that registry tweak, it won't show any options to transfer files. any other solution?
how do you see registry
cant find registry how do i get into it to edit it
clive
I found out that that reg tweak does the same as in Start-Settings-Connections-Beam. Tick the box receive all incoming beams and the setting in the registry switches from 0 to 1. I do not advise anyone to change it to a 1 in the registry, since that means that your infrared port is also active all the time, which is battery consuming.
For sending a file, turn on bluetooth and tap and hold the file in File Explorer. Than select beam file. It will start with looking for infrared ports but after it finds none, it will automatically continue to look for bluetooth connections. it will then ask the other device to accept the connection and start sending. For receiving a file, you have to tick "accept all incoming beams" in the settings-connections menu as well.
Concluding: there is no beam by bluetooth menu, it is the same menu that the infrared connection uses. It is somewhat tiresome that it starts with IRdA first, perhaps a reg hack can change that, but I don't use it often enough to find out.
looks correct
hmm !
seems to be ok i tried this and it transfered files i hid my nokia in the draw but it found it immediately on the infrared screen seems to be saying it is sending by infrared but i thought that would not work if they were lined up.
Will try with nokia in another romm then will be convinced it is sending by bluetooth
thanks for your help
clive
You're welcome. It is not very clever design, hiding the BT interface in the infrared beam menu, but it does work! Be sure it is sending by BT, for infrared there has to be a line of sight connection, so putting your Nokia in a drawer rules out infrared.
I have been a pocketpc windows CE user for years and I loved the "send via bluetooth" and "send via email" options whenever I pressed and held on a file or a selection.
What happened to those?
How do you email 63 pictures from your phone?
i think its called beaming now. beam through bluetooth.
Ok I go to:
File Explorer
Press and hold on a file name
Select Beam File
"To beam, select a device.
Searching
NO RESPONSE.
Here is funny part!
I select more than one file and the SEND AND BEAM both go GREY!
Send...
Beam File...
maybe u have to do it one at a time
also, the BT device that its going to has to be on and ready to accept BT files before you can even see the device when searching. some devices have to be configured also.
If you got a Commanager with a Beam button it has to be enabeld to. Then you´ll find other BT-Devices
Thanks everyone
BEAM?
The wing doesn't have IR, does it?
no but BT works for me only with Beam enabled...

Basically BT took over infrared when you refer to beam.
That is correct, the Beam... feature actually uses bluetooth. The problem is that is does not show your paired devices or even the device names around you. So if I have 10 bluetooth phones around me and I want to send a picture to my friend sitting next to me, I may end up sending it to a stranger (90% chance)
u can see who send to
as long as the recipient has their name in their owner information on thier phone, it will show thier name on the list... you just have to wait a few more seconds before it shows on the list... i send files from my mda to wing and it shows unknown device first, and then a few seconds later it shows the name of the device
X1 is my first WinMo phone. So maybe the following problems are really newbie questions, but I do found them annoying:
1. A contact can only have 1 mobile number? I have some friends that do have 2 mobile numbers, but I didn't find a field like "mobile 2" in Contacts.
2. How to beam files via bluetooth to non-discoverable paired devices? For example, I paired X1 with my lap-top, and set both to non-discoverable mode. One day I take a photo in X1, and want to beam it to my lap-top. But the beam in File Explorer can't use paired devices. It must search for devices every time.
I spent a couple hours sorting through blog posts, downloads, cabs, blah blah blah... with the goal of getting my forsaken Treo Pro (WM6) to use VOIP through my office's SIP/Asterisk setup.
To save you all some headaches, here's the distilled version of what I found to be the best combination of software and quick hints for install:
I started with this blog post, to give credit..
http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2008/05/voip-sip-client-for-windows-mobile-6.html
But I used different software... so I've included a zip with the package of all the stuff I installed to make the damn thing work.
1) Install all of these:
- voipdrivers.cab
- custelvoip.cab (works better than MajikVOIP.cab)
- sipconfig.cab (originally named SipConfigTool_2_0_1.CAB)
- audioroute.cab (from http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware)
I've also included setupvoip.cab .. which is a fancier SIP setup tool, and may work better than sipconfig... but I used sipconfig originally, so that's what I'm writing up here.
2) Restart your phone
3) Run sipconfig ... enter all of your sip configuration details, and also use the menu option to enable VOIP over 3G if you desire it.
4)Now go start -> settings -> personal -> Phone. Choose ther Internet Calling tab. Set the option for "whenever available".
5)On the main/Today screen you will see a phone icon with description VOIP ( you entered name of provider VOIP in (step 4). It'll show you the status of whether or not it has registered with SIP. A Hint, you might need to trick the phone into connecting to 3G first... e.g. by browsing the web... otherwise WM6 at least doesn't seem to auto-connect to 3G for SIP.
6) After connecting using 3G or wifi, You will see the status displayed as VOIP: Available.
7) You can now make calls as normal, or receive calls in.. and everything is routed through VOIP.
8) You'll notice that many WM phones will route the audio through the rear speaker (annoying) .. which is why you installed audio router from teksoft... it adds a little icon on your top system tray to let you change between earpiece and rear speaker for audio. There's a bunch of audio switchers out there. This is the best one by a mile. And it actually works.
Cheers,
Andrew Eross
Thanks for your effort. Similar tool is already posted as Schap - Setup voip Tool -

Thank you!!!
I've looked around for a guide as clear as yours. You've the best guide all around... Thank you a bunch...
Thanks for your great job. I new on Windows Mobile so I need a lot this kind of help.
I download and followed your installation procedure on a HTC 3G+, T3238 (chinese version of the HTC 3G, manufacturer HTY Taiwan)
Works well, Hope others also will be successfull
By the way, is there an also simple way to sending DTMF tones for remote control of my answering machine? When I try to send numeric keys after the call is connected it looks like I start a new connection with numbers actually for remote control of my answering machine.
Hi, I'm also in the club that has browsed hundreds of post looking for a setup of VOIP and also looking for a solution on good incoming sound level when using Voip on phone. Your files solved all my problems!
Phone: HTC HD2 Norwegian with Rom 1.66. Use the Norwegian company www.iplink.no for VOIP at home / office and (now) on my mobile phone.
Made my own ipdialplan.xml which can be found attached to this post.
Done some testing calling people through Voip: after approx 1 minute the connection falls down. I looks like I'm still connected to the other part (interface shows that a call is going on) but none of us can hear the other part. I then have to cancel the call in the phone interface. Make new call to same person, after approc minute the connection goes down again...
Is there some kind of registry setting that controls this "timeout"?
Hi, this tools does work also on windows mobile 6.5?
I know that on the HTC Fuze some of the wmvoip.cab installs breaks the GPS - anyone test this yet?
THanks!
does this work on hd2
I've done everything you said, but I can't find the option to show internet calling is available. I have Kumar 1.5 installed, and am about to try another ROM (maybe Laurentis, the SIP drivers are cooked in). What are you running?

Best Voip All in one solution. Try This
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596682
I tried last night to no avail. I am guessing that using a WM6.5.x ROM stops me, because I can't access the right settings (start-settings-personal-home or phone) because my settings button takes me straight to the black screen of text version. I even tried to go to a 6.5 ROM (cooked with VOIP drivers in), and even then I couldn't get the VOIP phone icon to appear on the today screen. Every time I selected it from the Internet tab in the setting, it would just ignore my changes.
I would love to get this working with a nice cooked 6.5.x ROM, and am not giving up yet, but man is this frustrating. As a side note, I am learning lots about the workings of WM.

thanks for the reply. i have also installed i was able to receive incoming call but unable to make outgoing call. are you able to make outgoing call?
Okay, I feel like an idiot, but I figured out how to enable the internet calling tab on my HD2. I am still apparently learning lots about WM6.5. After I disabled Sense, I could add tabs to the today screen. I did everything right, but the voip tab just either says searching or not active. And it somehow disabled my data connection. Not sure anymore, almost through trying ROMs. Is everyone else running this on a stock ROM, or are there certain features that interfere with this?
VOIP almost working
I've implemented Internet Dialing and have SIP configured my my provider and I am able to receive calls. But, I notice that when I dial out a "9" is put in front of the number I'm dialing making it impossible to dial a number correctly. How can I change this?

You need to edit your ipdialplan.xml. It's in your windows directory. Basically it is set up by default to dial a 9 and in area code 425... If you look at it you should see where to edit it... There's also a utility knocking about here to set up a basic one for other countries...
Can't svae ipdialplan changes
I can open Total Commander find the file and make the changes to ipdialplan.xml by taking the "9" out of the 10 digit plan and the 7 digit plan, but I can't save the changes. I get "Error, could not create file" every time.
It's either open or write protected. Edit on the PC. Copy it over with a different extension. Rename the original, and then rename the new one to the right name.....
I have this very strange problem.
I have tried to install all this, but it works only partially.
Outgoing calls work and the receiving party can hear me. However, I don't hear them. Also, on incoming calls my phone doesn't respond at all.
Does anyone have any idea what is the problem?
I'm having a Topaz @ WM65.
