Bluetooth File Transfer error w/ all 2.1 Roms

So I got this to load with no errors however when you go to turn on BT using the app I get the following error:
Can't start the threadpool for this bluetooth service...Invalid UUID specified
Any ideas I've been trying to get BT data transfer to work on a 2.1 Rom forever; thanks!
It has something to do with needing root permissions. I'm not sure why superuser is not picking it up.

you can transfer data and run BT File Transfer? I can use it as an audio but one other thing that BT allows is for devices to pass data to one another like a phone to a puter or a phone to phone or even a phone to a nav in the case of contacts and phones numbers. This doesn't work today with hero 1.5 or 1.6 but was suppose to be available in 2.1 but none of the leaked custom roms quite do this yet and it's primarily because the dev's don't use it so they haven't spun the cycles...and for me I have no real skills yet in hacking this stuff nor the bandwidth to sit down and figure it out. Hoping I will in the coming weeks but by then the official release probably be here as I won't get bandwidth until April-May with school in work.
I tested it out with a macbook and had no problems transferring a file on Damage Control v1.0. I used the stock BT transfer app built in, not BT File Transfer in the marketplace.

hmmm I'll retry I thought I did it with DamageControl but could've missed it. I'm trying specifically to pass contacts from my phone to my car and BT Files Transfer has the send contacts function but it didn't like the app when I loaded it to Damage Control if memory serves me. I'll let you guys know the outcome.

I just sent a contact from my phone to my computer and have been sending mp3's and apk's from my computer to my phone all day, but i didn't use any app just clicked send via bluetooth. I'm running windows 7 and darchlegendv4 if that helps at all.
you using darchlegend v4.1 or v4...in any case I'll give it another go later on tonite and let you guys know my results.
I have been able to transfer files on every 2.1 rom I have tried (without a third party app). Just click "share" in music, pics, and while in contacts click menu>send contact.

I must be having problems between keyboard and chair then lol Do you mind indulging me are you inside the actual record or the list and it's highlighted? If so sounds like I have to send one contact at a time and not a batch transfer which is kind of sucky.
which 2.1 ROMs have you been playing with and do any of them have/require to turn on FTP service?
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks bro, yeah it only works one contact at a time and will only carry over a complete vcf not just the name and phone number so I'll see what's the full Sprint build is available if I can do it then with just the name and numbers otherwise I'll use my laptop sync my local outlook change the names and numbers by removing the other stuff in the vcf and see if it works then.

Video on gallery don't match.Froyo 2.2

Hello everyone.
I've just realized that after making a video if I delete it and shoot another one the little preview on the file shows the previous and deleted video,it does not match,so I have to go through all the videos in order for me to see the one I want to send or watch.
Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks so much.
Yep
Yep
having same issues with my streak....must have something to do with Album Art Caching....need to write an app for this...
Thank you very much for your reply.I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
Anybody else?
Last night I called Dell and they are gonna send me a new device,since this one is not even a week old.
Yeah me too.. a bit annoying but I got over it pretty quickly.
We all should report this,Dell needs to know,the more the better.
Did you find an app for this? any workaround?
Thanks.
Little workaround
I think I have just found a little workaround to solve this issue.I put my videos on a different folder on my computer,this is what I did after that:
-Go to sdcard (use Astro,Linda,windows file explorer will work too)then go to DCIM,you will see two folders camera and .thumbnails (just delete this one only)
Once you have deleted that one put the videos back on the camera folder,then take a look at the gallery on your streak,now the videos should be showing the real preview.
If you delete one of the videos the issue will be back and you will have to start the process over.After messing a little bit more with this folder I can see it does work.So if you come across the same bug give it a shot.
just initiate a new media scan..
Ok...I know it sounds very stupid specially after trying so many steps,but how can I do that....I'm sure I'm missing something.
Thanks.

Your phone should do a media scan when you restart, if that doesn't clear up the problem you can try an app like Rescan Media. It forces a media rescan without a reboot. There are others, that was the first I found.
Ok...I think I got it this time.Maybe it is one of the apps that do not autostart when I turn on the device,I use autostarts to disable apps and I must have disabled something that was not supossed to be off.
Thanks.

can anyone help...write an idea?
A couple of days ago, I paired mine just fine with an Android tablet and transferred a few pictures. Did nothing special.
Are you able to send via BT between those other two phones?
Are you running a custom rom or some task killer or battery optimizer?
I recently did a file transfer to droid x.
1. Paired the devices together
2. Using the builtin file browser, browse to the folder where the files are located
3. Hit the menu button and select the share option
4. from the prompted option, select bluetooth
5. Select the file(s) then pick the device from the list
i tried to send photo from Gallery, Root explorer and AndExplorer but no one is capable to send photo via bluetooth to another phone
PS:i am glad that i have WifiExplorer so in one Wifi network i run WifiExplorer and second phone can connect via Browser to my SD....but BT is better

I am running Litening ROM 1.4....but even on official XWKE2 that I had from shop i cannot send a file to Dell Streak for example. i dont have battery optimiser, having Advanced Task Manager
Well, maybe there's a problem with your ROM? As we can see in your signature you have an, well, extremely modded phone (different ROM, overclocked, other Kernel, Rooted etc.).
From my personal poin of view at first I would suggest to flash your phone back to the correct Standard Sammy ROM and to do a Factory Reset after that. and then try again. With this kind of extreme customizing you'll never know what you get.
I have the same problem. Running stock rom KE7 and when try to send a file to HD2 with Android, nothing happened. I can send files to my PC and receiving from HD2, just cannot send any. Tried from Galery and from Astro file manager.
Bluetooth only supports ad2p profiles for headsets, music, and sharing of contacts and pictures. all other things You cannot send to a different type of phone (brand/type/...) with android.
There are apps that "embed" this function in android like Bluetooth File Transfer, hope that helps you

Will try Bluetooth File Transfer
SOLVED
Wow... just installed Bluetooth File transfer from Market and through it I just transfered files ... thank you all...and please CLOSE THREAD...PROBLEM SOLVED
No problem
I tried to send a file to a htc desire s few weeks ago...same symptom happens..paired but when sending it just says pending.. than bluetooth transfer fails. Than i found out on the desire s you have to unchek ftp file or something like that( i cant really remember) in the bluetooth settings. After that bluetooth transfer was sucessfull..
Just chek your desire hd settings..maybe there lies your problem.

[Q] Lost Sound

Hi Guys
This is weird. My shiny new Note 3 is about three weeks old. It's working 99.9% perfectly except for a slight sound problem. The problem is that when it is connected to a charging dock it USED to play a tone. Now it just vibrates slightly (but still charges). I also noticed that my camera doesn't make a shutter sound when I take a photo. I wondered whether the two issues are related in some way?.
All other sounds seem to be working OK on the Note3 (so it's not a volume setting) and I have checked whether option for the dock 'making a sound' is switched on. Additionally, there doesn't appear to be an option in the camera settings to switch on/off the sound, so it can't be that.
OK none of this is a major problem, but it is a bit of a niggle!
I hate niggly things! .
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
You made any changes recently?
Hiya
Yes, gazillions of changes due to installing apps! Too numerous to narrow it down to a specific action

If you can't/won't narrow it down, how is anyone else supposed to?
Do you have these checked files in the screenshot?
Thank you. That looks like a useful screenshot - where do I go to check if the sound file is checked as in your screenshot? I guess thats your file manager isn't it? I'm using ES explorer and the phone isn't rooted. Do you happen to know which folder these sound files live? I did a file search and it couldn't find any of the files shown in your screenshot
Cheers

I use Root Explorer, those files are in system>media>audio >ui.
However, as far as I know you can't access the system folder unless you're rooted, so I think it's unlikely that you've deleted them.

Thanks again - at least I know i probably haven't deleted them. I don't suppose there's a way of 'force reinstalling' the stock camera app is there?

No idea, sorry. I rooted mine 20 minutes after its first boot, hence clueless really uprooted devices

OK case closed - I hard reset the phone, reinstalled all the original apps and the missing sounds are back. Sorted! Bit of a drastic measure though
Still don't know WHY the sound disappeared from just the docking process and the camera shutter, but it least it's all fine now
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

[Q] Skype problem

Hello. Recently I bought a LG G2 than I updated it by Update Center. Now when I want to use a Skype mostly its not working.
When I call somebody I see his name on the top, but the screen is like a gradient background with nothing on it, and after that i see my wallpaper and its coming again to the skype contacts list. When somebody calls me, and I answer the call sometimes I see the previous scenario, but instead of the "wallpaper" I see the normal skype window during the call. I can hear the people, but they cannot hear me, also we see each others on the cams, but nobody can hears me. Only once a hundreds tries they can hear me properly.
I dont have an idea what is wrong. My phone is not rooted, bought it 1 week ago. And I think problem is not the hardware, but software. Hangouts are working fine, but not everybody has it. My software version is D80220d-EUR-XX.

Download the rar file, extract it somewhere and copy the 2 libs to your phone using adb push command.

Of course you need to be root.
