[Q] Windows Bluetooth Drivers? - G2 and Desire Z General

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

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).

[Q] I/O Tab Mounting With Mac

Hey everyone,
I love my tab from I/O but as a Mac user I am stuck with no way to connect it to my mac to put videos on or anything. Every time I attach it to my Mac (or even PC) it wants to load Kies. It doesn't give me the option to mount as disk or anything.
On my Windows 7 PC it does allow me to browse it as a folder but I don't use my PC for any video downloading or anything. Is there a solution for Mac? I tried downloading the DMG for Honeycomb tablets from Android.com but it still didn't work for the Samsung tab. Not sure what to do here.
Second thing... someone needs to break a version of the new Netflix app to work on Honeycomb. I can get the app to load as is but it won't let me play video, says that this device is not supported.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Did you try this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ Should work. I used it with the Xoom and it worked like a charm.
Also if you have the SDK installed you can use ddms to open a file explorer. (In the same menu where you can launch the screen capture app)

I did try that and it did not work, because I think Kies is persistent and messes with it. Any other ideas would be great.
And to be clear: neither Kies on the mac nor Windows recognizes it either -- they say it's an unsupported device.
I managed to get a movie on it for the flight home by connecting in windows (VMware), installing Kies (for the drivers) and mounting it as an external drive.

Really that would be a disaster for the 10.1v because of a lack of a SD card...... It would mean that one only can transfer files over a network.
But I assume that uninstalling Kies would solve this?

Anyone else know anything that might help? I don't have Kies installed and cannot get it to work on my Mac.

Only option is adb push if you want to get your files on there. Or wireless transfer but hat takes too long

I tried both the Windows and Mac versions of Kies, and ended up having some luck with XJNB. I have a post on my blog (at surfsoftconsulting.com) explaining this, have a look at the Galaxy Tab First Impressions entry. The problem seems to be that Samsung's implementation of MTP is rubbish. Worst case scenario is that the update to 3.1 will include Google's own (and hopefully less buggy) implementation. I guess a more worse case is that Samsung have donated their code to 3.1... sigh.
I should add that since doing a factory reset I've not been able to get XJNB to work with the tablet :-( so I shall probably move to using a Wifi based solution

filetransfer doesn't work - at least not for me - with the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 (MacBook Pro early '08, OS X 10.6.7). I've written more elsewhere on this thread, I won't repeat it here.

Send file over Bluetooth or otherwise...?

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.

[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.

[Q] Cannot solve my Wifi problem.

Long story short, I installed windows 8 and since then my computer will not detect my router. Ive turned it on and off several times and nothing. I read something about having the correct drivers but I cant find the darn things anywhere and there is little to no simple info explaining how to fix this.
I tried the search bar but the damn thing wont work on my kindle. Someone please help me out. I have the 64 bit version. Ill provide any other info that might help.
Many thanks!
you need to figure out what wifi card you have and then download the appropriate drivers. If your having troubles because your on your kindle, just give me the make and model of your computer and i can try the google-fu and see what i can come up with.

Ok I think Ive located my wifi card model
It is WAN Miniport. Im not sure which one I need to be looking at as there are multiple items named WAN Miniport but with a term in parenthesis e.g (LT2P, SSTP, IKEv2)
I found this by searching for system information and scrolling down to the Components tab and going Components > Network > Adapter
Here is the computer I have: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba...lver/4684487.p?id=1218508069136&skuId=4684487
Am I on the right track? I can try to find more info if you guys request it, but really I have no idea where I have to look. Ive never had to deal with a wifi problem that took me past turning the router on and off

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
-End Transmission NERV HQ-
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.
