Send file over Bluetooth or otherwise...?

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.

[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)

Anyone knows how to get Bluetooth to work in CM 7.0.3?

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).

File Sharing Between Devices

Hey guys. I'm loving my N7 but I have 8 GB (gift not choice) and I'm having issues getting the most out of the space
I want to quickly move large files to my GNex. Native WiFi Direct will connect the devices but no native share option shows in gallery or file manager. Many WiFi sharing apps use actual WiFi and not Direct. The very few that do are clunky and not hat great (IMO)
I do not own a S3 but from what I read S-Beam is exactly what I'm looking for (NFC to connect WiFi) but the threads on the matter go unanswered.
For now I'm using Anysend and waiting until I get home to transfer but I was just wondering if anyone has better options
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Hi, there's an app on the play store called 'WiFi shoot' or 'shoot wifi' . I can't remember it uses WiFi direct and will give you the option in the gallery's or file browsers to send it
It was made by another user on here.
Edit. It's called wifishoot!. Links here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot&hl=en
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test it as my arc doesn't support WiFi direct. But it was made to work with the gnex so you should have no problem

Thanks! Turns out AnySend can set devices to auto accept and transfer. The UI is also very clean so other than not using direct, I'm OK with it
I have used WiFi Shoot and its half of what I'm looking for. It crashes and errors many times (this could only be me) and the share option takes you to the app and needs the other device to have the app open
Anysend is good enough unless an APK of S-Beam can be ported I'll use it and keep the hunt on

in case you are still looking for options to share data thru wi-fi and wi-fi direct, i developed an app "PeerDeviceNet" which allows you do exactly that and more. It has been on google play for a while. unfortunately i cannot post the link here (too new to post external links). you can find links at my web site: peerdevicenet.net , or search for it at google play. i tested with nexus 7, samsung tab2, kindle fire(last year version), and an old galaxy phone. it supports android 2.2+.

Download files from home PC

It's great that I can use something like Teamviewer or Connectbot to connect to my home PC and download a file (onto the PC) remotely, from anywhere in the world using my fast and (practically) unlimited home broadband.
What I'd like to then do is download that file onto my Nexus 7. And occasionally upload files. However, neither Connectbot nor Android Terminal Emulator have scp built in and, while Teamviewer claim that their latest version has the ability to transfer files, it hasn't appeared on the Play Store yet.
Does anyone know of any other relatively simple solution to this problem? By simple I mean that I don't want to set up the PC as an ftp server. The home PC runs Kubuntu 12.04, by the way.

I've been using ES for a couple of years now, including accessing other nodes on my network with Samba shares. How, precisely, will ES be useful in the above scenario?

Airdroid?

AirDroid won't work over the Internet, only on a local LAN. Or, at least, it won't work from the free WiFi access points that I use.

I've been using AirDroid for a while now. I've never used it via LAN, always via WIFI.

Thanks for the suggestion. There are surprisingly few. But now I've had time to check them out I've found VX Connectbot which adds file upload and download plus other features to the original Connectbot.

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever figure out how to use SCP on VX Connectbot? It's surprisingly not documented well on the Net, on its homepage or on Github. This thread came up on Page 2 of a Google search!

No, I didn't get that far. I found that TeamViewer fitted my specific use case.
