Need to go into Bluetooth settings: \settings\connections\bluetooth
Once you've got there at the bottom of the screen you will find several tabs
(Devices\Mode\Com Ports\FTP\Security)
Go To:
(FTP Tab) Enable bluetooth explorer, file sharing (if not already done) and choose the folder you'd like to share. (tap on the browse button)
I think you only have a choice of My Documents from WM6 memory or anything off your SD Card (the default is My Documents)
Good luck!

i dont have the ftp tab

ok found solution

Let me try to put something that we can understand better here.
1. Formating the storage card is possible via your device, unless there are software that can do that.
2. You need software like SPB Plus, you can create any shortcut for any applications/file you like to put there in your Today's screen.
3. Delete, move, cut, copy, paste, hide, unhide.... can be done with your File Explorer. Some cooked ROM they bundled together with Total Commander and Resco File Explorer.
4. The .cab files always can be send via bluetooth or infrared to your sister's phone without using the computer.
5. Use PIMbackup to backup your contacts and backup your sms with Jeyo SMS Backup. These 2 already included with the ROM. There is other option that you could backup everything with SPB backup.
6. Sorry, I never change my wallpaper instead of themes available. I am just too old to put all those flowers onto my screen
7. Battery icon is an optional feature, if you would like to get one you can search for 'battery status for ppc' in your search engine. You'll get more than what you look into
In fact you can get more if you read carefully on several pages back, the similar questions had been discussed over and over again or search it over the internet I believe you'll find more and more.

8) My O2 got Re-set automatically. Everything i have installed got lost. First Phone got hang and then it got reset. Every thing on memory card is still there. but shortcut got lost. i can see and run them through explore programe game.
Help Please

New to HTC - A Few Handset Questions

Hay all,
I'm new to using an HTC "Have The Blackstone" I got the phone yesterday and love it.
But I have a few questions I cant find an answer too in the manual.
1. Can I changed the sound of the Alarm (Alarm Clock Sound)?
2. Can I change the Text Message recieve sound?
3. In contact if I copy the contacts from the SIM is there a way to only show the contacts
on the handset and not on both the SIM & Hadnset? (like on the Nokia Phones)
4. If I buy games from Handango.com will they work on my handset & how do I installl them, active sinc?
(UK Handset)
5. I've seen a Blackstone running Spore that was ment for a Diamond, I presume sofware for the Diamond is
compatable with the blackstone?
6. I know in some cases you need to go in to the windows folder, how do I get this up?
7.Is there any apps I should use?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Have you actually read the manual? Did you read the wiki? Did you search at all before posting this thread? Did you read the forum rules?
EDIT
As this is your first post so I've decided to help you this time only!!
1. Can I changed the sound of the Alarm (Alarm Clock Sound)? Yes, Go to Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event
2. Can I change the Text Message recieve sound? Yes, Go to Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event
3. In contact if I copy the contacts from the SIM is there a way to only show the contacts
on the handset and not on both the SIM & Hadnset? (like on the Nokia Phones) Yes, Can be done different ways. One way is through 3rd party apps like HDTweak (See attached file). Can be done other ways but depends on what rom your using
4. If I buy games from Handango.com will they work on my handset & how do I installl them, active sinc? Check compatibility before purchase and check apps thread in wiki. They can be installed either by activesync using .exe format or direct from phone using .cab, but you will most like need sync to get this onto phone first anyhow
5. I've seen a Blackstone running Spore that was ment for a Diamond, I presume sofware for the Diamond is compatable with the blackstone? Not all software between phones is compatible....CHECK FIRST!!
6. I know in some cases you need to go in to the windows folder, how do I get this up? Use file explorer which came preinstalled on phone. Its just like windows exlpoer on your pc. Windows folder is basically /windows similar to c:\windows on your pc. I've added 2 better file explorers for you to use (Total Commander & File Explorer 2)
7.Is there any apps I should use? Yes, again check wiki and apps recommended

1. Can I changed the sound of the Alarm (Alarm Clock Sound)?
A: Yes, from the Home screen tap the clock and select the Alarms tab. Tap on the "Bell" icon, on the next screen you'll see a drop-down list of all the sounds you can play. If you copy a .wav to the Windows directory on your device it should also show up in the list.
2. Can I change the Text Message recieve sound?
A: Yes, From the Home screen tap Start > Settings. Tap Sounds and Notifications. Tap on the Notifications tab. From the Event Drop-Down list select Messaging: New text message. Select the sound you want to play. If you copy a .wav to the Windows\Rings directory on your device it should also show up in the list.
3. In contact if I copy the contacts from the SIM is there a way to only show the contacts
on the handset and not on both the SIM & Hadnset? (like on the Nokia Phones)
A: Not sure as I always keep all my contacts on the phone and none in the SIM.
4. If I buy games from Handango.com will they work on my handset & how do I installl them, active sinc?
(UK Handset)
A; Again not sure, I guess some games will probably install via ActiveSync as they will come as a windows .exe installer, others may come as a .cab, copy to your device storage card and run.
5. I've seen a Blackstone running Spore that was ment for a Diamond, I presume sofware for the Diamond is
compatable with the blackstone?
A: Check out the Software Wiki for working titles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
6. I know in some cases you need to go in to the windows folder, how do I get this up?
A: From the Home screen tap Start > Programs. Tap File Explorer You should see the Windows directory in the list, if not try selecting My Device from the drop-down list at the top.
7.Is there any apps I should use?
A: There are lots of great apps for the Blackstone I personally use Gyrator (rotate the screen for most programs), Total Commander (File Explorer replacement) and Lumos (better backlight management), but there are literally hundreds. Try searching the Forum or looking through the 3 Sticky Forum threads for lots of great advice and tips.

Sorry xj650. Didn't realise you where also responding!

Cheers guys. My bad on the rulses n things. Shall go and read now
Cheers for the help

How do I?

Hello all,
Took receipt of my HD today and for the most part i'm loving it...there is however a few things bothering me, and i'm hoping someone can help?
1> How do i create new folders for images, music, ringtones etc?
2> How do i then move things to the relevant folders?
3> How do i get album info for music if i dont already have it?
4> How do i resize an image and save it as wallpaper so it fits?
Thanks for any help you can give....

wallpapers - look under the themes / apps sections section
move folders - use 3rd party file explorer (deafult explorer won't let you expore windows folder ... ) or through active sync / explore - most of the programs can be found in /windows /start menu or programs - just drag and drop .... make new folders etc etc.....
sms tones should be copied directly to windows folder on the phone ..... ringtones, they seem to be stored in my documents / my ringtones on the phone
images - default seems to be in storage card DCIM blah blah blah
as for 3 & 4 ...not sure... but A search on the forums will help you through the other problems you stated
hope this helps....

1. Use one of the file explorers used. Work on same process as file exporer on your pc.
If using File explorer to, to create a new folder press File > New Folder or hold down stylus/finger > new folder
If using Total Commander, press file icon with + on it
All ringtones should be saved to either /windows/Rings or Storage Card/My Documents/My Ringtones. Obviously less space taken up on computer is stored on storage card
2. To move things, select and hold down them by either using finger or stylus. Window should pop and select send to
4. Try reading a few of these threads

There are plenty more out there if you search for 'Wallpaper' in the forum

3:
Make sure the MP3 tags + album pics are in order on your PC before transfering it to your HD. Use any ID3Tag editor to do this. Once the info is correctly set up in the MP3 files, it should show up in the musicplayer.

Thanks to you all for the replies, i've managed to do most of the stuff i needed to...just one more thing though, i got a HD because of its size hoping my big sausage fingers would be able to use the keyboard, and although i still can it could be easier, is there a way of turning the keyboard to landscape rather than portrait as default?

Latest manila versions and roms you can rotate 90 degrees to landscape so you have option of both portarit and landscape.
Also, for example Duttys latest roms he has an application called FlipIt (do a search) where you can select rotation angles for apps, so you could actually set certain apps to only work in landscape.

Browse "Windows folder" slow, from WM7 Synch Center

Hi,
Hd2 is fantastic fast... But browsing "Windows folder" from WM7 Synchronization Center via USB is so slow!
Does somebody know a way to speed up the this "windows folder" browsing.
I did not find a way to fix this in xda or Google. May be i missed it.
Using explorer or Resco explorer from Hd2 is ok, no slowdown.
Thanks in advance.

I can't even browse the Windows folder from Win7, it freezes up the explorer window, my computer and the phone until I unplug the USB cable. Very strange.

For me in W7 I can't even get to the Windows folder, it's hidden even with hidden files and system folders set as shown.
To answer, it just takes very long to enumerate the 10'000+ files in the windows folder with the rather slow activesync protocol.

@kilrah - in folder options there are two tick boxes that control visibility.you need to both tick show hidden files and folders, and also a few entries further down untick hide protected operating system files.
plus don't forget to apply settings to all folders.
@OP its always been slow over active sync.personally if I'm dealing with files in windows I copy them to sd with resco on the phone and only then browser the sd from the pc.

Thanks for your suggestions, but does somebody knows a way to realy speed up browse of "Windows folder" from WM7 explorer?

I dont think there is a way to "speed" it up through sync center. Even browsing the directory from your phone itself takes moment to populate all of the files in there.
First time I loaded that dir from my old old phone I thought it was frozen too but after a few minutes everything came up lol.
