First, go to Start > settings > connections > beam and turn on 'receive all incoming beams'.
Now open up your file explorer and find song you want to send
Hold down cursor or finger on this song and you should be presented with a list of options.
Don't select 'Send...', but instead select 'Beam File...' and then follow instructions to find other device using bluetooth
for me i need to add other person to my list and save it before is not sending

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
Was trying to bluetooth a video to a friends phone today but couldn't find an option for it.How do you do it???
yeah i was trying to send a cab file to a friend but couldnt do it with file explorer.. would be good to know..
goto start/programs/pictures and videos (might be a different path depending on your rom)
select the picture (or whatever) you want to send and tap & hold
in the menu that pops up select beam...
you'll get the usual "select a device" screen: tap on the device you want the file to be sent
setup the passcode (both devices must enter a passcode that matches, i suggest something simple like 0000 or 1234)
done
NOTE you must enable bluetooth (duh), can be done in two ways:
from TF3D interface, scroll to the "settings" page
click comm manager
and tap bluetooth
OR
goto start/settings/connections/bluetooth
second tab called "mode" check "turn on bluetooth" and "make this device visible to other devices"
it's simpler than what it seems

Just moved from a sony ericsson c905 to the HD2.
I've had WM devices in the past but have been with SE for a few years now.
Anyway a few dumb questions...
1) how can I transfer sim card contacts into the device? I swap sims a lot and don't see a sim manger?
2) With my sony ericsson bluetooth enabled so when I turned on my car the stereo would pick up my device and any calls would automatically route to my phone. I've sync'd the HD2 however every time I start the car I have to manually re-snc the device before the audio and head set profile is applied. Is there a short cut?
3) I had voice dialing set up, Don't see an option for this on the HD2??
Hope you guys can help as I am thinking about returning this awesome device if I can;t get these basic functions working.
From the manual:
If you have saved contacts on your SIM card, you can copy them into Contacts on your phone.
1. On the SIM Manager screen, select the desired contact, or select all SIM contacts by tapping Menu > Select All.
2. Tap Menu > Save to Contacts.

For the SIM Manager, go to the People tab and select "All People" and then "Menu". SIM Manager is at the bottom. Then do what donalgodon said to copy them to the phone.

Do you want a shortcut to the bluetooth manager, or do you just want it to connect?
If you want it to connect (I hope you're up for some registry editing ) try this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625372
If you want a shortcut to the bluetooth manager, it's called BTManager.exe and it's in the windows folder. If you select it (in file explorer, or similar) and then go to the folder \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and "Paste Shortcut" in there (from the edit menu), then you can add it as a quicklink to your home tab.

Unfortunately, there's no packaged voice dialing software with the HD2, but there's plenty out there to choose from. Cyberon Voice Dialer and MSVoiceCommand seem to be the most commonly recommended. A google for either of those will turn them up no problem.
Hope this helps mate
thanks for the posts, RTFM
however I had a feeling the bluetooth might be a registery setting - they don't make it easy do they. Looking forward to WM7.

I'm quite suprised you're having that issue with bluetooth. I don't use it that often, but the devices that are paired with my HD2 simply connect when bluetooth is on. At least that registry info is a working fix for now. As you say, roll on WM7
How is this possible on the tab ? I am trying to find out myself for quite some time now and i cant seem to find it.
I am on JM6
Go to file manager open any mp3 file via the default music player, click the menu key, it gives two options share and set as, when you go to set as it gives option to set as video call, voice call, specific user, etc etc.

On mine that doesn't work, as the contact list showing after chosing "set as" is totally empty, thus search don't give any results (despite my samsung app contact list have 200+ entries sync with google contacts).
Is there a way to access the default contact list to ad phone numbers to show there? I wonder why the default contact list and the samsung app one aren't linked...
Just open it fromhe the music player it self dont run the music just from the music library long press then set as or download ring extender from the market
Nope. There is a bug on the tab about this. All my contacts were synchronized/imported from google contacts and facebook. They appear on the contact list. But none of them show on the last selection operation trying to assign a ringtone/mp3 to, search function does not help, empty list.
I added a test contact manually on the phone. This one shows up.
Contacts are not imported each time i boot the GT, but they are not stored on the phone list.
Am i missing something? Any way copying all contacts to phone?
I may try the app you mentioned to see if it works.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
App didnt work.
Found that on the contact list you can modify a contact entered manually and set a ringtone direcly there.
But on sync contacts (all of mine...) when i tap "modify" i get a "impossible to modify
SNS contacts on this phone"
annoying as i use a bt headset and different ringtones would have helped me to guess whos calling before picking up without taking the phone out.

Can't even add ppl to groups...
Course, the preferred way this /should/ work is you set the mp3 YOU want as your theme tune, then when you call people, they hear your theme tune playing.
One of the voip apps should enable this! (with an option to turn it off of course when it's abused!).
solved
OK, just to let you know that after several attempts I finally found two solutions on my own.
First one consists in a light app, meant to "cut" quite precisely mp3 wavefiles located on your device to produce rigngtones: its name is "Ringdroid" from Ringdroifd team. The second one is the well known "Zedge", a pick & share ringtones app. Both allow setting a ringtone to every contact, even if it's a synchronized one thus not showing in the default phone adress book when trying to assign through basic music apps.
I tried and it worked.
These two apps are the only ones I fond working in purpose at the moment.
Shame this wasn't on stock feature.
Enjoy your tab
