Connecting X10 to laptop through bluetooth - XPERIA X10 General

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?

ActiveSync via bluetooth instead of USB?

Dear all, is that possible to activesync mini and pc without USB? Whenever using usb to sync, mini will be charged. Can i prevent this auto charging problem coz lets say the battery in my mini is always full, will it do any harm when it keep charging whenever we activesync? If we can activesync using BT, what is the procedure?
Just go to bluetooth settings and do activesync setup. you will need to re pair your PC. works really well.
rmg, what do u mean by repair the pc, can u provide me with more details and step on doing this, appreciate your help thanks
rmg, i did what u told me, but when i click start button on the "bluetooth activesync setup:" the message box come out "please start bounding with other bluetooth device which support serial port or activesync profile as your activesync partner". i cannot get it done, can u help
how i do is it
1) bond PC and Phone in Bluetooth Settings in windows
2) on phone go to Activesync - tools - Options - Options - Dropdown box
Eather Bluetooth or 19200 default
3)Open active sync pc
4) Active Sync on Phone - Tools - Connect Via Bluetooth
and that is how i connect
In the advanced settings for your BT dongle you will need to check what Bluetooth Serial port number is being used. I found mine under local services. Once you have that go into the proerties for AS and where it lists the serial port to use put the COM Port number of your BT Serial port in that box. Now when you hit the AS button they should be able to connect with each other. Hope that helps.
One of the requirements is for you to have a ActiveSync 3.8.
Once you have that installed a new port will also be installed with the Windows BT stack. When the BT stack is detected a new port will also be available.
Now the next step is to go to the PPC. Hit Start go to Settings, System and then Blue Tooth Settings. Hit the Start button and it should bring you to the BT activation where you turn it on. Have everything checked. Once this is done, start pairing the laptop by having it detect the PPC and set a passkey for protection. Once they are paired, launch ActiveSync in the PC and go to File and Connection Settings. Once in this screen pit a check mark on the Allow Serial... Set it to the new port set by your BT Stack.
Once this is done, on the PPC, hit Start and go to Programs select ActiveSync. Hit Tools and then Connect via Bluetooth. This should then start working.
One bug I did find is that once you connect your device to your charger and initialize the ActiveSync over BT everything will work well. BUt once you remove it from the power conenction, your device will soft reset.
ok i will try, thanks to all of you
Stupid Q. If you're using BT for Activesync, the PC will still act like a pass-thru internet gateway, right? And you can now surf the net via BT (the same way you do it with wifi)?
Thanks.
@MC_Oliver
The answer is yes. If you are doing ActiveSync over Bluetooth it is the same as ActiveSync with a cable. You should have the same icon on the top of your screen. You can even browsse the files in your PPC.
Thanks dre.
Btw, curious if you have the same problem as I do in this thread? Thanks again.

No, not at all. I cut my sentence short and it should have read; I have a stupid question. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

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... :?

N1 Bluetooth Issues?

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

Can't receive file from PC via bluetooth

Hi everyone,
I searched the forum and didn't find any posts about problems with PC --> Epic bluetooth transfers, so I'm starting a new thread.
For the life of me, I can't send a file from my computer to my Epic. The devices can find each other and pair, but my phone always says "Paired but not connected" and my computer says "Connected". I saw somewhere that it may only say connected during an actual transfer... but when I right click a file and go through the Send To Bluetooth Device process, it can't connect. Windows gives me an error every time saying that it timed out because the device didn't respond. I'm staring at my phone the entire time and it doesn't even receive the request. I've tried going into bluetooth settings and tapping the computer, but that doesn't connect it. I've unpaired, repaired, rebooted, etc.
I connected my bluetooth headphones just to make sure the bluetooth is working properly... and I'm sitting here listening to music wirelessly as I type this. So the bluetooth DOES work.
Here's some other info in case it's relevant. PC is running Windows XP Pro. USB bluetooth dongle. The Epic is running Epic Experience ROM 1.2.05.
Ideas, anyone? This is driving me insane because it should be so simple... but it's not!

[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.
