Send file over Bluetooth or otherwise...? - Acer Iconia A500

I'm trying to send apk files over Bluetooth to my wife's G2 but it hasn't worked. Any advice?

Transfer
I use the app bluetooth file transfer, it is available on the market. I used it last night to transfer files and it worked flawlessly.

I keep getting an error that says that I some service doesn't work with the phone and that I can only upload. When I upload, it doesn't work. Perhaps the G2 doesn't support Bluetooth file transfers. Is that possible?
Do you need it installed on both devices?

Yes you have to install the app on both devices. I am not familiar with the G2 as I use it with D1 and the A500. From what I remember reading a while back the android BT is lacking on some of the stack that allows for file transfers. This app fixes it.

Oh okay, good. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Just to let you know I am able to transfer files from the a500 to my Samsung galaxy and vice versa using the stock bluetooth on both devices. On the a500 I used file manager hd and selected share via bluetooth. Once they both connect the files transfer without any problems.

I think default android bluetooth filetransfer only allows certain types of files, like .jpg's and some other media.
Not 100% sure though, but I never managed to send files like apk's.

Bluetooth File Transfer worked perfectly and is actually a pretty cool app! Thanks!

Dropbox works too. I use it across my phone, tablet, and computer.

I use the bluetooth add-on for astro, no problems getting stuff to or from my DZ, which is the same hardware as the g2.

I use wifi file explorer to move stuff to and from my phone. It isn't as slick as showing up in your file explorer, but it gives you web access from any computer on the network.

Ya its only that folder too? Oh well maybe if i take thos folders in that one and move it to another? also it might be because i got a wifi error saying no connection on the app however it works fine and that is the only folder that wont open, i guess ill try reseting my router see if that fixes the error?
btw sorry the pic was so small, damn xda and there small pic attachments lol

[Q] Cm7 help!

Hello,
I've had my wildfire now for around 8 months, ive had lot of different roms, radios and Kernels. if i'm being honest it got myself in a right mess with it all and i dont know what on my phone no more! I just need a little bit of help from someone showing me a good rom (i would like to use cm7) but what Kernel and radio to use with it.
Thank you
Dave King
CM7 comes with a nice kernel that is OCable from the start, so no need to flash a new one.
As for the radio, you should only re-flash it if GPS doesn't work. (http://rom.tat.tw/wildfire/wildpuzzlerom/radio/Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10.zip)

What is the issue. It works. Receiving APk files is some issue I think. If so rename apk to zip and transfer it to wildfire. Then use file manager on wildfire to rename it to apk again.
Also using "Bluetooth file transfer" application is good.

I am already using that app, it's just that I can't get my phone to send any file (whatever the extension is) to my MAC. If I go to 'Bluetooth devices', I get 'paired, but not connected' right underneath the paired device's name.

Maybe the issue with that Mac.
With that app, I can share my entire sdcard contents to PC over FTP.

Bluetooth pairing doesnt seem to work. Its stuff that you cant use third party apps for. Like headsets and streaming media over bluetooth.
same problem...i can not send any files from my pc or to my pc with bluetooth.. CM 7

[Q] Windows Bluetooth Drivers?

Windows 7 is not finding any drivers for my G2 when i try to pair it with my computer. My G2 is currently running CM7 7.0.3, not sure if that matters or not. I did a little bit of googling, and couldn't find anything. I also couldn't find anything on the forums concerning the G2. I'm not sure if it's just the ROM I'm running, or even the kernel I'm using.
Download the android sdk and install it on your pc
Search for the sdk on google that should do it
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Funny, I have the SDK installed. I'm having it run updates now though, and I'll look for bluetooth drivers in the manager as well.
SDK has nothing to do with it. What bluetooth profile are you trying to connect? PAN, serial port, modem?

Well, I'm just having the computer pair with the phone by making the phone discoverable. Some of the modes may have installed correctly, but I'm not sure. Bluetooth file push isn't working in astro, however that maybe some incompatibility with astro and cm7...
Just checked the settings, and the "supported" services are PandoraLink and ServicesProxy. I just had the phone pair with the computer this time around with the same result.
Open Pandora and go into settings to turn off "Bluetooth for automotive" then try again. That is for the Microsoft Sync service, so this may be the issue.

Well, that fixed the missing device driver problem, but Astro still can't send a file over bluetooth... If saying send by bluetooth, it says file not sent, if by Astro Bluetooth, it says push failed, trying ftp, file transfer failed.

Just ran across this thread. My g2 also can't send a file. I can recieve a file from my laptop but not send one. I have tried astro and also some free bluetooth send/rec pgm from market. Also i have tried 2 different radios and 3 different roms (doubleshot, cm7 and myvision).

Control Your Note 10.1 From Your PC - Including Using S Note

This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

Here's a DB link to the skin files that are installed on my PC. They aren't labeled by device but one of the five is for the Note 10.1. Good luck.

Great app indeed. 8 hours up without a single issue. For coping and pasting you can try PushPullet. I use on my chrome to push text and list fast to my droid.

So, this is working great and seems cool and all, but I cannot figure out a reason to actually use it. Why would anyone need to do this?

WOW!! Great find!!
This is a great tool, thank you very much for sharing! I have it installed and it is working very well.
This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.

Transfer Files

My husband is trying to go figure out if there's anyway to transfer files from his Kindle Fire HD to another device that has Bluetooth. ES File Explorer doesn't give the Bluetooth option, like it does on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. I'm thinking that Amazon has it blocked in some way.

Enable Bluetooth on the kindle and on the other device.. sharing files should be easy once both devices are paired to each other

The Bluetooth is on. The devices are paired. I can send him files. He has no option to share files to me. Yes, he can email them or send to Dropbox. But he wants to use Bluetooth instead.

You can send files..can you browse his from your device? Have you tried using Root Explorer? Some devices when paired have a parent/child relationship.. try using the device that won't share as the parent connection

The latest version of esfile explorer has Bluetooth transfer support. I don't like the interface as much as the previous one so I don't use it. I'm guessing you have the version I'm using but from the amazon market, if you have the Google play market then you can get the newer version, it's free as usual.

I'm having my husband download the Team Black Out ES File Explorer. Hopefully, that might fix the problem.
