Just bought an IOGear bluetooth adaptor for my pc. I installed it fine but when I try to connect my Hero, it doesnt show up. Has anyone successfully paired their Hero with Windows 7 using Bluetooth? Dont see why it wouldnt find my phone. I made it discoverable. :Stumped:
Pair it to do what?
You can't transfer files between the two until the Hero is updated by HTC.
Well i thought maybe I could transfer music, files, contacts or whatever. Maybe make calls using my pc or something stupid. I dunno, thought I could do some cool sh*t with it but I guess not. What a waste. I knew I shouldnt have bought it. Oh well, its getting returned until this phone can have some use for it.
Ye no file transfers until HTC update our Heros (shouldn't me more than a month or two now).
You may be able to make calls and send SMS from your pc though with some specialist software for your PC/MAC. I used to be able to answer calls and send texts straight from my computer with my HTC Diamond (windows mobile). There may well be a Android version of such software if you google it.

Hey all,
I have some generic BT dongle for my computer that I bought a year or so ago to use with my old HTC Typhoon. The dongle allowed my phone at the time to ActiveSync over BT using the BluSoleil software that came with the dongle. However, with the HTC Wizard (MDA vario body with the AKU 3.3), I cannot for the life of me sync over BT. I have no idea what I need to set up and every time I try and do a new "partnership" in the phone for syncing over BT - i select my computer in the devices, yet nothing happens. I cannot establish any COM port communication with the computer and the only type of services that i can push are the vCard from the computer and a "personal area network"...
HOWEVER, if I take my Wizard and connect it to my Thinkpad T60 laptop that has native BT; I can sync to my hearts content... so... someone please give me a clue as to wtf I am supposed to do here to get this to work over BT
Thanks!!!
Anyone? Plweeze?
C'mon, someone must have an idea!
Gave up
I had the same dongle, or at least mine also came with Blue Soleil. I hated that software - it runs a dozen different programs that clog the computer and still doesn't connect properly. I took it off and tried the native MS XP software. It would work once, but when I put the PC to sleep I would have to reboot to get it to connect again. I finally realized that it was much easier to use a cable and gave up. I'll try again when I get a PC with built-in bluetooth.

Where did you get the native XP software? I could never find the native software
Plug and Play
If you don't install software, XP will operate it.
Hello developers and members, I've searched the forum for this but I can't seem to find anything or maybe I'm looking wrong but heres my question.
I have a T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) I have it flashed to the latest T-Mobile ROM, I wanted to know is there a way to use my MDA as a bluetooth reciever for my PC, has anybody done this? is there a hack, app, or something to do this? But first and foremost is this even possible? Thanks in advance for all your responses.
you might want to elaborate on what you mean by "bluetooth receiver" I guess you mean transfer files to the phone from your PC?
BTW welcome to the forums, I see that was your first post
Elaboration

OK I see the confusion, basically a receiver, I want to be able to talk to other bluetooth devices but from my PC thru my MDA.
I want my MDA to act as a medium .
What I want to do is my friend has a Motorola RAZR V3M or sumtin from Sprint and I want to transfer MP3s from my PC to her RAZR but it has only two ways to do it, VIA Bluetooth and by taking out its Micro SD card and inserting it in a reader. unfortunately we don't have either option, but however I have my MDA, I paired the two devices but the MDA saw and paired with the phone and was like "so what" I can't seem to do anything with it. So I figured maybe I can have the MDA act as a transmitter/receiver with my PC and my PC will see it and will allow me to transfer the MP3s VIA Bluetooth to the RAZR. This is a mouthful hopefully you all get the picture.
(MY PC)------[USB]--------(MDA) ~~~~Bluetooth Signal~~~~ (RAZR)
*If not above is a little diagram
Want to if this is possible cuz I would rather not buy anything to facilitate this either, oh BTW I searched Motorola and it seem that there is a Program to do what I want via USB but they don't have the software available on the site for download only on CD that came with the phone and obviously we don't have the CD.
But wanted to know if this is possible so other things too?
***Thank you for the welcome been a member for a month i think but this is my first post and BTW this site is amazing, keep up the good work to all you developers and testers and to whom ever I don't mention, your work has increased the value and use on my MDA and my friend's Wing (T-Mobile's MDA V2)***
ACtually, you should be able to plug the razr in via USB, just like jsut about every other phone that has a usb connection.

Yea I tried that but my PC sees it and doesnt do anything with it, so I'm assuming that you need the Moto CD but again we don't have it, but for the most part my idea isn't just for the RAZR, more of a impromtu Bluetooth transmitter for the PC to use.

you need to install moto phonetools before plug the Razar in your computer, or you can storage the music in your Wizard and the send them to the Razor phone by Bluetooth.
about your questio I'm pretty sure you can use the wizard like a bluetooth modem transiter but I don't konw how to setup the a network
I currently have three devices (Diamond, Kaiser, Wizard) I all want to sync with my PC (XP, through ActiveSync). I have searched around a bit, but was unable to find a solution for it. I also have them all hooked up through USB to my PC whenever I'm near it (they all have their own cable, charging etc).
After a lot of mucking about, I figured out how to have them all connected to the PC at the same time (without those pesky conflicts) and how to easily switch ActiveSync between them (it still wont sync them all at the same time). Currently I do this all manually but I know how to automate it.
The question is, is there any interest for an application like this? (Or if it already exists, please direct me to it, as I couldn't find it) I'm probably not going to spend the time to do this just for myself, but if there's a bunch of people who want this, I might find some hours here and there to make it into an app. No guarantees as to when, though
So err, post if you want, or not, or...
i'm very very interested by an application like the one you described
thanks to you
i am interested in how to switch easily manually..^^
do have some problems with that from time to time..(two wizards)
(for sure i would be interested in this app too)
in windows vista it supports sync to multiple devices at once. for the files part that is. i didnt check the contacts&outlook sync.
windows mobile device center ( the first edition ver. 6.0) should work on xp. the later versions only work on vista.
Not looking for multiple contact, email sync so don't worry there.
I have an Alpine that lives in an attached cradle and is used to check email accounts via activesync, the SIM has no data plan so it has to be this way, so all i would want from this is a way to turn off ActiveSync when i attach my Trinity, which is fully sync'd with Outlook.
I also have a Himalaya which is used as a test bed and so it would be nice if i could switch to it for file transfer without taking the Alpine from it's cradle.
I for sure am interested in an automated solution to this. I am tired of having my regular phone sitting in its cradle and then plugging in a test device and having it not connect because AS is already synced and online with the cradled device.
im also intrested, got a wizard and a kaiser too
Well, been a long time but finally decided to do something with it. Currently in beta:

Hey All, I came across an Idea for the TP2, could be used for any for the most part. But As I was coming here I hooked my phone to the usb cable to sync, and then it dawned on me, unless there is one out there already.
Is it possible or could it be done to have the usb cable also act as a sound relay? What I mean is, we all hookup our tp2 to the computer to sync, but I also use MyMobiler to see the screen, so I was wondering since some of us used wired headsets, could an app be created to send the sound signals through the USB cable to the computer, and have the computer work as a handsfree speakerphone? You could use the phone mic since it would be close enough to you.
Just a thought
Well, there's this... http://www.bluesoleil.com/products/Default.aspx?TID=14
Can't remember whether it was Panasonic or Motorola who had this PC sync program which also allowed phone calls though the computer. Loved it! It isn't a new idea, but it is certainly a good one.

Only downfall is you have to have a mic on your computer, I figured you'd just use the phone mic itself. But damn someone beat me to the idea
i would like to see the usb send an audio signal out from the phone to lets say the cd player to hear music playing from the phone...
After reading it further, that works off bluetooth, not a usb cable, so the hunt is on still
Is it just a software limitation for n1 to have no bluetooth transfer or are there any hardware issues ? I am new to android but i have learned some limitations of android which most can be fixed thru modin . . Just last week i was all Hd2 fan an almost bought it if it wasnt for the sms and camera issues (they still haven fixed it properly) .
After lookin at the n1, it was love at 2nd sight and now i have already ordered it .
There is an app in android market that lets us transfer files thru bluetooth but is it only pc to phone(vice versa) or supports also phone to phone transfers? And also any mods indevelopment for bluetooth transfers currently in progress ?
Hopefully a newer version of android will support but i doubt it will be any time soon since i see many ppl askin for this feature since android 1.5 . . (Although android gets upgraded fast )
I havnt used bluetooth file transfer on my nexus yet, I will right now, but I can transfer between my G1 and mytouch using medival's app
I have try to send file from my Nexus One to my PC with Bluetooth work! But I can't send file from my PC back to my Nexus One.. If you get sucess sending file to Nexus One with PC let us know!
After install Bluetooth File, Now it works on both way, I can send file from PC to Nexus One no issue. And I can use Nexus One to get file for my PC. Make the whole world easier.
I can verify that BT file transfer indeed does work on the N1. I transferred images and MP3's both ways between my N1, and N91 (Nokia). No issues at all.
I want to be able to transfer files between my nexus one and my frens nokia n95( or any other phone that has bt )
. . Like pictures, videos . . . Will that be possible ? Maybe in the future rest assured ?
And to SanTilt , ur transfers workin out of the box or u installed an application / rooted it
?
I can link my n1 to my mbp and send files from mac to phone withouch any problem, vice versa
was able to send and receive from Nexus to G1 and mytouch

Try to use Bluetooth file from Market. It works for me.
I can 'send file' just fine, but unless I install Bluetooth File from the market, I can't 'Browse Device' and just navigate the file structure, using my MBP, or my Ubuntu box. It's a bit annoying that you have to install an app to do this. Seems like basic functionality on a smartphone. It was, on my old Nokia N95.
Installing Bluetooth File works fine, but I hate to have to run an app for this.
(And don't get me started on tethering. Again stock out of the box on the old Nokia.)
