I have had an XDA2 for sometime. I have just purchased a XDA2s but can not get it to beam a file, like on the xda2. I go to file explorer, hold down on the file I want to send and hit beam file. The page says searching but does not ever find any devices!!
I have upgraded the Radio ROM upgrade to version 1.12.00 and the Bluetooth upgrade to version 1.0.0.3900, but I still have the same problem. Is anyone else with an XDA2s able to beam files like with the xda2, or have any ideas why it is not working?
Thanks
hey same here too
hi
i too have the same problem and i dont even know on which windows m i Running my PDA ??
Can some one help me how to find which windows have been installed on my XDA IIs
if you have installed the 3900bluetooth stack, then you must forget about the beam option, when u tap and hold within file explorer, tap send by bluetooth instead of beam file, this will work as i had same problem, and i was told this by members here.
hope this helps.......
my way of beaming files via bluetooth is to open the bluetooth manager and select "new" then click on "browse files on a remote device". After that, bluetooth devices will be discovered by your BA. Once the devices are already listed, you could select to which device you want files to send to...
hope this helps...
cheers!
Guys, you're talking about two different things here. When you choose 'beam file' that means trying to send it to another device using the infrared port, not Bluetooth.
It says it can't find other devices because on your receiving device you've probably turned Bluetooth on, but not IR. And even if you had, you're supposed to align the IR ports and keep the two devices pretty close to each other. On your BlueAngel, the IR port is on the left side so you have to turn it.
You should either choose 'send via Bluetooth' if you want to send something via Bluetooth, or choose 'beam file' if you want to beam it via IR. Check if your receiving device has Bluetooth or IR capabilities and has these switched on; if you're using IR, point the device's IR ports to each other.
Your Windows version:
Start -> Settings -> System -> About.
Thanks
Thanks all of you
I just Cant belive that i couls see a reply posted so so soon
A million Thanks

bluetooth not in my menu
Hey jojo
i have not got send via bluetooth on my menu in the FE
also i dont know the bluetooth stack ???
how do i get that now
no bluetooth sending on SPV M2000/XDAiis...
Robrecht: they are not talking about two different things, to beam a file it "should" pick up all incoming beams including bluetooth, if you try beam a file a menu will come saying two things:
1) infrared - align ports
2) searching...
Now the "searching" means its looking for bluetooth devices, provided you have activated "recieve all incoming beams" in beam settings...
Unfortunately although i know how it all works, i also have the same problem with my SPV M2000, i also cant send via bluetooth,i had the XDAii and that worked totally fine, the only way to do it on the M2000 is through exploring another bluetooth device, but not all devices allow for that...its such an easy operation that has become so difficult, i mean if thats how they have programmed it, it sucks ass, even old crappy phones with bluetooth can send files easier...
i think it is a problem and if there is any solution can someone let us know...
regards...

you dont need to unzip a cab file, a cab file is the same as a .exe file on your desktop pc,
just copy the cab file accress to a location on your pda, somewhere you know where it is.... lets say you copy over using active sync, into your documents..... when you go into file explorer on your pda, just tap the cab file and it will install ........ and hey presto..... your on bt build 3900
tradivise, upgrading to 3900, should sort your problem out.... sending files from devices to another handset by Ir is something that needs avioding, as i find that even if the pda can detect the device, it aint compatable and will always fail..... i even found this on my old XDA 2
instead on tapping on beam file on 3500 like with the xda2, upgrade to 3900 and you dont need the beam option.... just hold on file and tap send via bluetooth., anything is now sendable but if you want this to help with Ir within the beam option, this wont help as it is for bluetooth.....
happy installing if you choose to....... id recommend it tho!!
it does solve the problem!
joey jojo... thanks, yeh i installed it and it solves the problem, i now have the "send via bluetooth" option in the menu when holding down on a file i want to send, you can almost send anything....there is one thing thats seems a bit odd!!! - when using my bluetooth headset it sometimes crackles a bit even though im within a metre or two of the phone, i dunno, that doesnt seem normal...but i guess for the amount of times i use my headset compared to the amount of times i "wanted" to send files via bluetooth, i suppose i can live with the crackling...
thanks JJ
So i also recomend to anyone having the same problems as me upgrading to bt3900, i mean im not sure about the crackling, i read on another post somewhere that there are a few others with the same crackling problem, but as far as sending the via bluetooth, it solves the problem...
this is good news!
joey jojo, could I ask for one too?
cheers!
bt3900...
you can get bt3900 from this site - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Bluetooth_1.0.0.3900_Upgrade
It gives you instructions and everything else...
happy installing...
thanks tradivise! one question though, would it be just fine if I wouldn't upgrade may radio rom and just install the bluetooth upgrade, would just do the trick the same?
cheers!
yeh it all workd fine for me and i didnt upgrade my radio...im running radio 1.06.02...
guys, thanks! just installed BT3900 and my BT works better now.
Hey man, thats cool, im glad you got it sorted out...
HAPPY BLUETOOTHING!!!!!!!!
Hello all,
I have Helmi's WM6 1.1 ROM running for several days now and actually everything is working fine, except one thing: Resco Explorer 2005.
I'm using the default MSBT Bluetooth stack in this ROM, which works perfectly using Bluetooth headsets, wireless stereo headsets and carkits, but in Resco Explorer 2005 the stack seems to be malfunctioning.
In the Resco Explorer you can select one or multiple files and choose for "Send to" ...... in my case I want to choose "Send to Bluetooth recipient", but will immediately get "Bluetooth not activated". Nothing, nada, I can't send any file out by Bluetooth, which ofcourse is activated.
Receiving files works the normal way and I also tried the provided Broadcomm stack. Trying to use "Send to Bluetooth recipient" with the Broadcomm stack initially seems to work, but when I select the found device I want to send to, I still receive an error message "Can't connect to [devicename]".
Please some advice here. Is it Resco? Is it a tweak?
Thanks.
check that you have "receive all beams" on
(in your PDA's settings)
i can confirm the resco problem with sending thru bluetooth..it has nothing todo with "receiving all beams" settings..
No it sure hasn't.
Anyway, I guess there's no solution?
Then I might have to leave Helmi's 1.1 ROM, because this was working with other Crossbow ROM's....
Hi all,
Here's how I fixed it for now...
Helmi's ROM with either the MS or Broadcomm Bluetooth stack obviously can't work together with the Bluetooth file transfer functionality of the Resco Explorer.
Another ROM, for example Midget's can, but this ROM misses the screen rotate icon on the Today screen.
I flashed Midget's Crossbow ROM and restored a full backup made with Helmi's ROM, so the two ROM's now are kind of 'combined'.
The result: Midget's ROM, with Helmi added value like the screen rotate icon AND Resco Explorer that can send files using Bluetooth.
Guys,
I can't seem to figure out whats wrong with my bluetooth. I'm using the official Dopod WM6 ROM and I'm trying to receive a file through bluetooth using other mobile phones and my laptop but can't receive files to my Dopod838Pro.
Whenever I send files to other mobile phones, they receive it. we can pair our devices and can be discovered as well. The problem is WM6 can't receive any of the files they are sending. Anyone knows the problem? Any fix?
Is the problem with the M$ Bluetooth stack?
Is it possible to replace it with the widcomm stack?
try this
I don't have any problem with file sharing via BT. Try to install BT explorer. Cab below.

Has any one been successful in transferring their Phone book via bluetooth to the car's phone book? If so, can you please let me know how?
I have an Acura TL 2008 and it has this option but I cannot seem to transfer even one single contact via bluetooth to the car let alone a whole phone book. I can pair perfectly and make and receive phone calls.
I am using Vp3G's WM6 3.0 version and I have Tmobile USA with unlimited internet. For radio, I am using the latest 1.51.
Is it the limitation of the Hermes or limitation of the Bluetooth in the Hermes?
Thanks.
Shamim
It's definitely not a limitation of the Hermes... I can upload my contacts to car set via Bluetooth. I don't have an Acura though... sorry.

If you right click a contact, do you get the option to send via bluetooth? I do not and am wondering if something needs to be set or turned on.
Thanks.
Use the Jeyo bluetooth software. It will most likely transfer all your stuff to your car with no problems.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
It will do SMS messages too. You can even set it to use a different MAPI store such as email. Although there is a character limit that makes it kind of useless.
I have an Audi with MMI and it transfers fine, there is a short delay though after starting it up till the phonebook is available
Bluetooth & Infiniti
I wonder if anyone has had any experience with this utility and a 2007 Infiniti G35x that has the nav / tech package. I can pair my HTC TyTN just fine and use the basic bluetooth functions. I can even send one contact entry at a time but haven't figured out how to send my entire phonebook. I wonder if this app will help.
Anyone have any experience with this phone / car combo?
Thanks everyone for the jetware info. I will give it a shot and reply.
Shamim
I bet it is a setting issue for the Acura. The Ford Sync system will ask, "Do you want to load phonebook?" right after it pairs...
It works - JETware Mobile Software
Upon suggestion from 'Diaftia' in this thread (THANK YOU!) I downloaded Hands-free Extension from JETware and installed it on my HTC TyTN. I then sat in my car and through the phonebook 'send' mode of the applet, I chose to send all 354 contact records to my car's phonebook via the bluetooth pairing. The car immediate showed 'downloading' at the appropriate time and viola! They were there.
I need to play with it some more to see if I can get more than the first phone number field to download. The Hands-free Extension app does allow you to pick only certain categorized phone records to be sent.
I've since purchased the utility and will explore more of its features! So far, so great! I've been looking for this solution for quite sometime!
Regards,
David

David,
I installed the software but did not see a Send option. I was able to select the categories on contacts that I wanted for the phonebook.
Where was the Send option? In the Jetware software or your car?
Thanks.
shamim
In the Extension software from the menu, go to phonebook options. In phonebook options select the categories that you wish to send to the phone. Press the 'menu' soft key option again. You will see 5 options, of which 'send contacts' is one of them. You will then get another set of options and finally a confirmation before it sends the records. Make sure your car or receiving device is set to receive before you finalize the send process.

Same Problem with Pioneer

Well, I have experienced exactly the same problem with my Pioneer, I am able to send one by one contact to the car but I am not able to send the entire phonebook at once. When I try to do that then the bluetooth connection is getting disconnected and that is it. I wonder if that is a problem with the bluetooth driver,
I had a heck of a problem with importing to my new Audi A4 Pervertable, and worse it kept loosing connectivity then re-establisign it (mid song no less). Eventually fixed with BT Radio 1.50, (tried everything before it).
I don't know whether this is relevant or not. This is how I do it.
I have a Garmin Nuvi 610. When pairing the device with my Hermes all I have to do is make sure comm port service is enabled in the hermes bluetooth utility when asked for service type. If it's not enabled then there won't be any sharing of phonebook between them.

I currently use the JetWare Mobile extension ver 1.31 that I updated several days ago and now I can use Voice Command via bluetooth hear and give commands through the car stereo system.
I can also hear announcements of calls, emails via the stereo system. Sorry got off subject...
With this software I'm pretty sure that you will be able to upload your address book. I had no problem with 275+ contacts....
They have a free trial you could try to ensure that it works for you, but it's not free...
If memory serves me think it was about $15, well worth it if your a heavy BT user.

Jac,
Thanks for the info. I already gave jetware a shot but it did not work for me. I do not get the "Send" option on my contacts or phonebook through Jetware or Outlook contacts on the TyTN. I am using Radio 1.51 and Jetware extension 1.31. If I got the Send option, it would work. For Voice command 1.6, do you use the option 'use bluetooth when available" or the option "use bluetooth only".
Thanks for being helpful.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you...
I know in my case, it took me a couple times to figure out how to upload the the contacts to the car stereo using Jetware...
First time was: I did not go into... Hand-free Setting\Menu\Advanced Options\ And check off Phonebooks.
Second time was: I did not leave the car stereo phonebook settings "waiting to accept data" before I sent all the contacts from my PDA.
Any way back to your last question "About VoiceCommand 1.6" I use the setting "Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only"....
Thanks,
Good luck on your quest...
My Desire's very strange.
I've got it linked up to a bluetooth headset and car kit with no problems. It runs really well. However when I try and send or receive files, no dice. Using HTC Share I just get 'Failed 0 files sent' in the status bar and with Bluetooth File Transfer it tells me the other device hasn't got object push etc. Tried in EStrongs too to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys.
Bluetooth seems to be seriously broken with the HTC Desire's.
Today I tried to transfer a file to another HRC Desire and both of our phones rebooted at the same time !
The 2nd time we tried, the phone completely locked up !
There are going to be some remote phone hanging exploits in time.
But for me, i am disappointed that HTC Desire did'nt test the BlueTooth functionality, this is a major inconvenience !!
I can transfer pics and mp3`s both to and from my Desire to my pc,my laptop,,an iphone(a jailbroken 2g at that)a Nokia 5800,a Samsung Jet and a Samsung Tocco Ultra.I dont think i`m doing anything different from other phones,select the file,pair and send .
Once i turn on bluetooth via Settings and make my device discoverable(in Bluetooth Settings option) then every device i have paired with becomes available which only lasts for 120 seconds.I havent found an option to make it permanent.
Edit -the phone is unrooted,running 1.15.405.4,firmware 2.1-update1 and only added voice to text mod,totally new to android so dont know if any of the kernel build or baseband info is relevant
I had the same problem with my Desire...When I buyed it, I had no problem pairing, sending and receving any kind of files from my pc and other phones. Yesterday I reset the phone and now I can't pair, send and receive anything from/by the phone. At the moment I've noticed that Android System has the highest percent (95/96%) in the battery usage... I think that it will not last long time before I re-reset the Desire
ps. sorry for my not perfect english
Hello everyone,have desire from few days,in my one is the same problem with bluetooth but i can pair device and receive but cannot connect and send files.
Is this software problem or hardware?
I am wondering if Android 2.2 will fix/resolve these problems and if they are known by the Android developers or not...
I try to use Bluetooth File Transfer for sending files (I can only receive) but I have some problem with the Obex Service...
Tried send/receive file with another Desire, everything went nice and smooth.
I solved my problems, it's a very stupid problem... Infact if I activate the box "Discroverable" in the Bluetooth menu so when I try to send files I have no problem sending files to my pc
Now i can see Bluetooth it's fine but only if u trying transfer small size files up to 3-4mb,when its bigger size phone is tethering.
Well I'm having the same issues with the HTC desire. I can't send anything via Bluetooth as it just says that all the other phones haunt got obex when that have. What is wrong with the desire and Bluetooth. I've his left from my hd2 which I have to say that the Bluetooth is superb to the desire that can't do the basic. Please please some help. Ive tried what people have said but it doesn't work. I don't know what else to do.
Thanks daz
I too am having bluetooth problems. I can transfer files, pictures etc but can't send mp3's. I have tried through estrong and the standard HTC way but no movement of MP3 files. I was trying to send an MP3 to my daughters Nokia N97. The devices are paired and she can send files (inc MP3's) fine and I can receive them but not the other way around.
Hmm, I can recieve files on my desire with no problems at all (every phone works)
but if i try to send, it connects but never actually sends the file :\
try using 'Root Explorer' or 'Explorer' from the market.....they can send every file over bluetooth.
Remember to:
-Have the ftp server service DISABLED
-Have your phone DISCOVERABLE
Problem solved with desires file transfer over bluetooth
Hey guys, I had been experimenting with a few dozen phones and apparently there are some limitations you have with the file you are transferring, luckily they don't require much geek knowledge! First make sure your bluetooth is on discoverable, and then you'll have to make sure the file name is in english, After renaming the file make sure you have no space in between the name, for example if you wanted to send no air.mp3, you will need to rename it to noair.mp3 and make sure there isn't any space between the name and full stop before the mp3 as well, otherwise it can't be sent to another phone via bluetooth! So just to briefly summarize, english name, no space and discoverable then send and receive ! Hope it works for you ! Desire eclaire 2.1
