Bluetooth File Transfer error w/ all 2.1 Roms

So I got this to load with no errors however when you go to turn on BT using the app I get the following error:
Can't start the threadpool for this bluetooth service...Invalid UUID specified
Any ideas I've been trying to get BT data transfer to work on a 2.1 Rom forever; thanks!

It has something to do with needing root permissions. I'm not sure why superuser is not picking it up.

you can transfer data and run BT File Transfer? I can use it as an audio but one other thing that BT allows is for devices to pass data to one another like a phone to a puter or a phone to phone or even a phone to a nav in the case of contacts and phones numbers. This doesn't work today with hero 1.5 or 1.6 but was suppose to be available in 2.1 but none of the leaked custom roms quite do this yet and it's primarily because the dev's don't use it so they haven't spun the cycles...and for me I have no real skills yet in hacking this stuff nor the bandwidth to sit down and figure it out. Hoping I will in the coming weeks but by then the official release probably be here as I won't get bandwidth until April-May with school in work.

I tested it out with a macbook and had no problems transferring a file on Damage Control v1.0. I used the stock BT transfer app built in, not BT File Transfer in the marketplace.

hmmm I'll retry I thought I did it with DamageControl but could've missed it. I'm trying specifically to pass contacts from my phone to my car and BT Files Transfer has the send contacts function but it didn't like the app when I loaded it to Damage Control if memory serves me. I'll let you guys know the outcome.

I just sent a contact from my phone to my computer and have been sending mp3's and apk's from my computer to my phone all day, but i didn't use any app just clicked send via bluetooth. I'm running windows 7 and darchlegendv4 if that helps at all.

you using darchlegend v4.1 or v4...in any case I'll give it another go later on tonite and let you guys know my results.

I have been able to transfer files on every 2.1 rom I have tried (without a third party app). Just click "share" in music, pics, and while in contacts click menu>send contact.

I must be having problems between keyboard and chair then lol Do you mind indulging me are you inside the actual record or the list and it's highlighted? If so sounds like I have to send one contact at a time and not a batch transfer which is kind of sucky.
which 2.1 ROMs have you been playing with and do any of them have/require to turn on FTP service?
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks bro, yeah it only works one contact at a time and will only carry over a complete vcf not just the name and phone number so I'll see what's the full Sprint build is available if I can do it then with just the name and numbers otherwise I'll use my laptop sync my local outlook change the names and numbers by removing the other stuff in the vcf and see if it works then.

can anyone help...write an idea?

A couple of days ago, I paired mine just fine with an Android tablet and transferred a few pictures. Did nothing special.
Are you able to send via BT between those other two phones?
Are you running a custom rom or some task killer or battery optimizer?

I recently did a file transfer to droid x.
1. Paired the devices together
2. Using the builtin file browser, browse to the folder where the files are located
3. Hit the menu button and select the share option
4. from the prompted option, select bluetooth
5. Select the file(s) then pick the device from the list

i tried to send photo from Gallery, Root explorer and AndExplorer but no one is capable to send photo via bluetooth to another phone
PS:i am glad that i have WifiExplorer so in one Wifi network i run WifiExplorer and second phone can connect via Browser to my SD....but BT is better

I am running Litening ROM 1.4....but even on official XWKE2 that I had from shop i cannot send a file to Dell Streak for example. i dont have battery optimiser, having Advanced Task Manager

Well, maybe there's a problem with your ROM? As we can see in your signature you have an, well, extremely modded phone (different ROM, overclocked, other Kernel, Rooted etc.).
From my personal poin of view at first I would suggest to flash your phone back to the correct Standard Sammy ROM and to do a Factory Reset after that. and then try again. With this kind of extreme customizing you'll never know what you get.

I have the same problem. Running stock rom KE7 and when try to send a file to HD2 with Android, nothing happened. I can send files to my PC and receiving from HD2, just cannot send any. Tried from Galery and from Astro file manager.

Bluetooth only supports ad2p profiles for headsets, music, and sharing of contacts and pictures. all other things You cannot send to a different type of phone (brand/type/...) with android.
There are apps that "embed" this function in android like Bluetooth File Transfer, hope that helps you

No problem

I tried to send a file to a htc desire s few weeks ago...same symptom happens..paired but when sending it just says pending.. than bluetooth transfer fails. Than i found out on the desire s you have to unchek ftp file or something like that( i cant really remember) in the bluetooth settings. After that bluetooth transfer was sucessfull..
Just chek your desire hd settings..maybe there lies your problem.

Xoom and Skype

Anyone else having problems with Skype?
I have a wifi Xoom with 3.2 stock software and recently installed Skype. When I first start a call I see my video but when they answer I hear nothing and the video disappears.

I've used skype a few times on my tablet, I've never had a problem with the video, the video seems to be the only thing that works pretty flawlessly for me. In all honestly I think the app its self has the problems and its not the xoom/software on the xoom.
The issues i've had mostly deal with my Bluetooth headset and skype. Sometimes it will send ringing to the headset, then it'll disconnect from the headset and put the actual call through the speakers, sometimes It wont even go that far. Once it actually let me complete a call with the headset but that only happened once. The other issue I had was Skype didn't want to let me accept a call from one of my friends. I could send calls but not accept. So I think the app its self is just borked.

Hello
Skype works fine till you update it from the market. This update seems to mess it up for alot of people myself included. You need to uninstall it and find a previous version and side load that.

Hello all,
Seen a few discussions after a quick google with skype, as I've been having problems with skype too! Video just drops as soon as I start a conversation. I've put it down to the app, as the same thing happened on my HTC Sensation!
Hopefully it'll resolve with an update! Fingers crossed!

It's the latest update that breaks it. Try using the one I've attached to this post.
Had to attach it as ZIP since the APK is over 8MB. Just unzip and install the APK.

How do you install an APK?

deanbilly said:

After you've downloaded it, use a file manager (like file expert) to navigate to download in sdcard (your internal storage) and inside of the download folder, find the file you want to install, and then click on it. You should be given a choice to install apk or run package installer, choose whatever will install and you're go to go.

And don't forget to ignore updates until a new one comes along.
I hope everyone that's had issues has left a negative review on the market....

Thanks for this, I had the same issue. Installed the APK above. It gave me an error saying I needed to reinstall, but I let it uninstall itself, then went back in to EZ installer and installed it again and it was fine :S
If it has a keylogger I will hunt you down etc etc ...

Wonderful I will try installing this work around. Thanks guys, bought the xoom for xmas present for my wife to skype her brother and family in South Africa and video calls with Skype app would not work. Xoom itself is great quality bit of kit.

[Q] Skype will be the death of me [SOLVED]

I have a Nexus 7. I have root. No custom ROM; the most modding I did was adding a cool font. I have Skype. I have tried both the official version and the lasted SkypeMod. I have downloaded and run CameraLauncher.
Here's the problem: When I am in a video call, I can see the other person just fine AND I can see myself in the little box in the corner. However, the other person cannot see me. They just see a little circle going round and round like it's waiting for me to transmit.
I have verified all settings and that I can soot and record video. This is driving me mental and ANY help or thoughts that could lead me in the right direction are greatly appreciated in advance.
/onlyhalfthetime

have you tried re-installing the app?

try another video chatting application (Google+ Hangouts, GTalk) and see if they give the same issue. then youll know if its the app itself or some hardware issue

This is a good troubleshooting step and I will try it later today, but like I said I can see myself in the little box in the corner while skyping and I can run the camera app.
Thank you for your suggestions so far. I'll be back tonight with results.

I can't even get Skype to login here.

Rarely use skype but did try it on my rooted/stock nexus 7 and got exactly what you describe, video on nexus 7 but not on recipient's computer (only audio).

Could it be because you are rooted that causes the issue...... Like sky go you can only use if not rooted. Try using voodoo ota to temp hide root and then restart Skype.
Don't use Skype, not sure if affected by root. No harm in trying.

Maybe fixed?

That is the version I am using too.
I realized today that I am a moron. I was only testing the Skype with one recipient. so, what if the problem was on their end?
Turns out, they were using a laptop with a mobile data card. I just used my wife's phone with the Skype app and all went well. video on both sides. :victory:
However!!! I need to continue testing because before I tried that I fund the advanced settings in SkypeMod that forces video calling! I checked Force-enable Video-calling, Force Camera Rotation, and Unlock Orientation.
Since I had to search high and low for someone with the same problem and no resolution, I understand how frustrating that can be. I will continue updating this thread and [SOLVED] it when I am satisfied that I got the answer for the people from the future.

New info!
The SkypeMod makes skype work on my rooted EVO 4G! that's a two year old phone. I had long since given up hope of using skype. This is awesome. That is all.
/onlyhalfthetime
P.S. When I'm not poor (I got the nexus 7 for Christmas, haters), I'm gonna throw the dev a few shekels. :good: :angel:

It was indeed the other person's issue. No one else could Skype him either. That was silly on my part. However, I did uninstall SkypeMod and reinstall the regular app and got no video with anyone. Maybe because I'm rooted? Using SkypeMod I was able to skype anyone and they could see my video. Just make sure you go into the advanced settings and force enable video.
What an awesome apk. I am still floored that it works on my EVO 4g!
Marked thread solved. Have a good one, gentlemen and ladies. :highfive:
