N1 Bluetooth Issues? - Nexus One General

Having trouble with bluetooth file transfer on a Nexus One and Windows Vista PC... suggestions? When I initiate a file transfer from the PC, I get a "No services found" error. However, the device can connect to PC audio via bluetooth without issue.

for some reason the OPP and FTP bluetooth profiles aren't included out of the box, try searching for bluetooth file transfer on the marketplace

Many people were claiming that with 2.1 BT transfer is finally unleashed but in reality only a very few files type are supported (MP3 and Jpeg). If you try to send an .apk or .rar files for exemple it will hang.
Also don't forget that you have to put BT mode to ''discoverable'' (it will go off after 2 mins) and that Desire Roms till now have unstable BT

IVT CORPORATION BLUESOLEIL ISSUES

Not able to use BlueTooth File Transfer Service
Dear Friends,
Please if some one could help with this issue, i am using O2 XDA II Mini with IVT Bluesoleil USB blue tooth dongle, when i discover the services on my windows XP LAPTOP i get 3 services active,
1) Bluetooth dial up network service
2) Bluetooth serial port service
3) Bluetooth object pull-push service
i want to know how can i get the bluetooth file transfer service activated so that i can transfer my files from PC to Phone via bluetooth.
Currently i am using ActiveSync Explorer to do so.
Regards
Niks
I have the same problem,
I somehow was able to object push a .txt file, once, then never again. Then i gave up and just copied files using my card reader + SD card which is much easier.
Edit: I think it may have something to do with the M$ bluetooth stack, changing this to another stack might fix the problem. Let me know how you go.
Are you using the M$ BTdriver on your PC or your own?
Using all standard bluetooth drivers on phone and pc,

How to send *.cab files from PC to 8125 via BT?

The subject tells it all.
I've been looking for answers on many threads. I've asked questions on them for about a week or two... Still no answers...
So, I decided to create new thread.
The question is: how do you send *.cab (or other) files to the Cingular 8125 via Bluetooth?
I have Bluesoleil USB BT dongle and I can't install Activesync on my work computer. When I pair my phone with the PC and refresh services, all I get is BT modem and "Bluetooth Object Push." When I send the file via BT object push the PC will start sending it and then it'll give a disconnected message. Sometimes it sends the whole file with no warnings saying that the file has been sent succesfully, however it is nowhere to be found on the phone. (Searched via Total Commander)
Any suggestions?
How do you send files to your phone?
Doesn't anyone send any files to their phones from PC via BT?
ActiveSync will help
MargaL, not sure this is possible without having ActiveSync on your work computer. I have a BlueTooth USB dongle that I use to sync, but its through the ActiveSync program. From there you can click the Explore button to see a folder for your Mobile Device, then drag and drop away...is there another computer you can use (home?) where you can put activesync instead?

I have Activesync at home but the problem is that I don't really have time to sit on playing with the phone at home... I do it at work ;-) and the problem is that here I have Win 2000 NT and anyways if my boss traces out Active sync here, I think I might have a lot of free time to play with the phone and to look for a new job...
So... maybe there is another way?
Anyways... jorge_culv, thanks for your help...
i send files all the time without activesync. to be clear, i specifically don't use activesync, cause the only way i know in activesync is to explore the device, versus turning on bluetooth on two devices, right clicking any file, and choose "send via bluetooth" or whatever.
make sure your device is discoverable, the pc will find it, and send it
With the Widcomm BT stack everything worked like a charm - just right-click on the file you want to send in the Windows explorer and select "Send to"->"Bluetooth"... All the files went to the "My documents" folder.
A few days ago I installed the Bluesoleil stack that came with my new dongle and I got the same problem! :?
Seems like there is no way to send files via OBEX with the Bluesoleil stack - that software really sucks, Widcomm is so much better...
I tried this on my Mac and was unable to send the file. My Mac reported that the Wizard lacked the necessary services to handle an incoming file. I don't believe that though. Will try with the Wintendo later.
I wonder if this is a BT 2.0 vs. 1.2 issue?

BT 2.0 devices are fully backwards compatible - so that shouldn't matter. It works for me with the same dongle if I use the Widcomm stack instead of Bluesoleil, but I don't want to use Widcomm as it doesn't "cooperate" with my A2DP headset... :?

Bluetooth - Medieval & Ubuntu

I am trying to determine if you can send/receive files over bluetooth, between a Magic and a netbook running Ubuntu (9.10 specifically). Bluetooth works on both devices with my headset. Both devices can see eachother during discovery. Other than dealing with that absurdly short pairing timeout and the lovely 6 digit PIN I can get to the "Paired but not connected" state.
However all attempts to send or receive files, initialed from either side fail.
Does anyone have bluetooth file transfers working between the phone and a computer running Ubuntu (both directions), and if so how (what setup, what app, etc)?
I like ubuntu,too.
why don't try wi-fi.
I use the "FTPServer"(app download market). Send file to my G2 almost 1M/s
gtalk to me,talk about Ubuntu .
I notice that I cna't get bluetooth to conenct with my ubuntu netbook.
wifi tether won't obtain Ip address either.
Wifi works fine. It is somewhat the principle of the mattter, and somewhat if I am already using bluetooth to pair with my headset, why run another power draining radio to push or pull a small file to/from my netbook.
I have wifi FTP working. Also have Wifi Tether and use it all the time. I guess I am greedy... want bluetooth as well. It should be possible once I sort out what the issue is.
Status update
After installing gnome-user-share and allowing Personal File Sharing->Share Files over Bluetooth, and unpairing and repairing the handset yet again I now can push files from the netbook and the phone. I cannot browser either device remotely and pull files though.
So it is half working. Does anyone have both push and pull working?

Connecting X10 to laptop through bluetooth

Hi all,
My phone detects the laptop and it says paired but not connected and, when I try to click this tab nothing happens.My laptop is Acer 4820tg.
Can you be a little more detailed?
What are you trying to do with Bluetooth?
I am actually trying to use mkremote and want to send some music files to my phone.
Well, once a phone and laptop are paired, you need to open the actual program to start the services. You won't get any options from the Bluetooth menu on the phone.
For mkremote, you need to download the PC software as well http://www.devbury.com/
For sending music, use your PC to send the files via Bluetooth. If BT is on, and you're paired, a notice will come up on the phone to accept the file.
I can't be more specfic on sending files, because I use OSX which has a "Send File to Phone" button...
Is the BT on the computer set up right?

[Q] Bluetooth File Transfer

Now that all the USB connections seem to be fixed, has anyone done a bluetooth connection to their computer? I don't want to carry the proprietary 30-pin cable everywhere so I was hoping I could do a bluetooth connection to my work computer and get files that way. When I pair up the equipment the items linked are for steaming audio. There are two items in my device manager listed as "bluetooth peripheral device" which is missing the driver. Not sure what the right driver would be and if I did get it would it allow native file transferring over bluetooth.
For reference, I'm running Win7 64bit
Checkout Bluetooth File Manger in the market.
The developer has an app for Android tablet, phone, and PC.

I tried that already. It kinda worked. If I place files in a bluetooth sync folder on my computer, then it shows on a list on the tablet. When I select it to download the file it says it is doing so and even acts as if it completed correctly but then I get a 0kb file instead.
I was hoping for a more elegant and working solution like being able to right click on a file and select send to Tab via bluetooth or make it so that it treats the storage the same as being hooked up through USB.
help with bluetooth
This is my first attempt/first post, so be gentle...
I'm running windows 7 64-bit & have a GT 10.1 as well, & I've gotten files to transfer both ways... I found that it didn't work at first because the drivers weren't fully installed on windows--if your case is like mine, you may just need to reboot windows to let the drivers finish installing. After that, I was able to right click & "send to Bluetooth device" like you're trying to do... However, in order to receive files, you have to alert windows that youre about to do just that... there is a pretty good tutorial on transferring files through Bluetooth on 7tutorials.com (I'd post the link, but I'm not allowed).
I found the tutorial and I think It must be an issue with the bluetooth hardware in my laptop. I have the basic bluetooth transceiver from dell. I tried reinstalling the driver but the options for send and receive files is missing.
