Hi there guys.
I really need some help. I've tried everything but can think of anything else to do anymore.
I have a i-Mate Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003 (not SE). My Desktop PC has got Windows XP with SP2.
I'm trying to send files via Bluetooth from my Desktop PC to my Pocket PC but I get this error message "FTP service not found on target device"
But if I send files via Bluetooth from my Pocket PC to my Desktop PC it works perfectly.
Please guys, if anyone can help me I will appreciate it. I am really tired of taking my SD card out all the time to put it in the card reader or taking the Pocket PC out of the Case and put it in the Cradle.
Thanks in advance.
in my pc bluetooth i can add and remove com ports
when i add com ports i have to deside if they are outgoing or incomming
if i want to send to the xda it would require the port to be outgoing
and of cause the xda would have to have an incomming port enabled
and of cause have turned on recieve beam enabled
try that
Thanks for your help. I get a error that my Pocket PC does not support file transfer.
Can you believe that??
well i havent tried it from a pc but i have tried it from a cellphone and there it worked ok
I don't understand why it doesn't wanna work. My P900 that I had before could send and receive files to and from my Desktop PC via Bluetooth.
Isn't there any software availible that you can install on the Pocket PC for file sharing or file transfer or something?
Where can I go to change my Com ports??
i just tried and it works ok for me
i had a txt file on my desktop and right clicked on it and choosed send to
and picked bluetooth device
and found my pda
and press'd send and my pda said if i wanted to recieve the file and i said yes
i dident add any outgoing com ports
to my bluetooth pc settings
i just turned on my bluetooth on my pda
and made sure i had made it recieve all beam files
Yes, that is how it is supposed to work. But mine doesn't. That's why I say, I can't understand it.
It should be straight forward.
when you go into settings and pick bluetooth settings
have you checked both the inbound com port
and the outbound com port ?
and of cause the Receive all incomming beams in beam under connections
Yes, I did that.
and do you use both the ms bluetooth software on the pc and
use the bluetooth stack on the xda ?
and does stuff like activesync works ?
i'm still on 1.66 rom
and i use ms bluetooth stack
and the driver that xp sp2 auto installed
I don't have the bluetooth stack. Where can I find it?
It's all in the com ports ! Go to pc right click my computer - go properties - hardware - device manager - look for your ports "com " 3/4 the way down page - expand then right click on your 2 ports one at a time - click com port tab then change incoming to com 4 then the same to t e other one but set to com 5 - open active sync - click connection settings clIck on com port 5 then open active sync in ppc tab " connect via bluetooth - should auto fire-up active sync if it does you should now be able to send n recieve ( good luck took me nearly a month to sus it out ) be very wary about the stack thing I dont have it - dont need it xp sp2 handles it fine.......
Looper T
Com ports
On my computer, I found that I would have to terminate the processes WCESMgr.exe and or wcescomm.exe and then go to device manager, Ports, disable Com 7 and 8 (yours may be 4 and 5 etc), re enable them, open up Active sync and then the Com ports were usable again and active sync would work just fine via bluetooth until I had to reboot my computer again.
This may just be my computer though... Or it could be that when the bluetooth and ActiveSync try to get going at boot, the bluetooth virtual com ports are not ready when active sync starts. I also disabled active sync from starting and I continue to block it's attempts to get back in the start up in the registry. Both Spybot, www.spybot.info , and Lavasoft's Ad Watch, www.lavasoft.de , will do that.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have u ticked the "receive all incoming beams" in the settings->connections tab ? Cos if u unticked that, u will not receive any files from any computer or smartphone.
...
This is the problem with the MS Bluetooth stack. This software has no FTP service. I've installed the Broadcomm BT stack and now it's working except 1 thing described here:

You can send any file via BT from your computer with ActiveSync. Normally make a AS connection via BT and simply browse your device on a PC. Or you can send it also without AS. Just click on My BT Places on your desktop,open your paired Himalaya and drag-and-drop your file to this opened window. You need to be in discoverable mode and the beams-receiving is turned on on your PDA.
If I bought any bluetooth dongle... Like this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100M-BLUE-USB...9QQihZ005QQcategoryZ44999QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Would I be able to connect to my computers internet, which is not wireless? So I could go onto the Internet downstairs using my phone?
Also could I access my computers files from my phone when its connected? Would be great if I could listen to music files on my computer when connected.
I have one too
I use to do ativesync and it works pretty good.. you can use the internet but the signal strength is that strong but it might work.. i like it and with the files.. you can do it with AS but you can browse from ur phone to look at files on ur pc... It works only with AS tho
So if I connect with ActiveSync by bluetooth...
I can use file explorer on my phone to view files on my computer? (Or do you do it another way?)
Can I play the files from my computer too? Its really just for music and videos...
I'm sorry if i'm not the first who askes this:
- is there any way to connect to lan trough buetooth?
I've got the orange spv m600.
Is there a widcom driver for this?
Thanx a lot for your help
No, that's what WiFi is for.
Yeah, i know, but at home i've got a bluetooth acces point which i use to connect 2 laptops to lan. So i also wanted to do this with the prophet.
Now i have to use a computer with active sync to connect to the internet, but i cant acces lan that way.
Good Question
Wifi aside......it would be handy if we could use bluetooth to connect to the lan setup even if just to transfer files. Theres a program for palm that does a similar idea. But I guess really it IS down to having to use wifi for now.
Bluetooth security has always worried me anyway.
bluezard
I can transfer files with bluezard on wm5 using filetransfer profile
other options for lan and other profiles are also there but i have no way of testing them
I have tried and tried, read many articles but have become more confused.
I have an iMate JAQ. Its connecting successfully to the active sync of my lappy through bluetooth. I want to create a Bluetooth PAN, its getting detected as a NAP Access Point in the personal area settings too.
But when I click on Connect, it says that it was unable to connect to the device. The device may already be in use with the computer or some other device.
I have tried:
- Disconnecting from Active Sync, then trying to connect
- Changing the ip of Bluetooth PAN driver in my JAQ to 192.168.0.3 and that of my PC's Bluetooth PAN connection to 192.168.0.4
No success.
Can anyone please help?
Some progress
I found out my device is an AKU3 (so PAN is coupled with GPRS through internet sharing). I dont want to share my GPRS...I just want to create a PAN so that I can view and transfer shared files in my PC. Currently its possible only through cable
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?
