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
and ill do keep a check on the forum
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...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
go to bluetooth in the settings/connections. then in bluetooth, and tap 'about'
this will prob show 3500version, it needs to be 3900.
you vcan get this i think from this sites ftp, but i cant remember how to access that, but i got mine off google, dunno what site, but google is ur friend, search for bluetooth upgrade 3900* u will find it.
or even better, look here,

I GOT IT BUT ...
thanks JOJO
but when i clicked the link i got to download 2 BT stack but when i unzip it it just would not come in one file but split in to 10s and than i am confussed how do i get it all to one ???

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!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Like the subject says really. Can anyone please tell me how to send a file via Bluetooth (not a contact, just a normal type of file i.e. image or whatever). My Bluetooth File Transfer Service is enabled.
I've searched the forums, but can't find anything so I'm sure it's just me and I must be missing something blindly obvious?
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Whoops that was from me if anyone wants to know who's being stupid :-(
File Explorer -> Click and Hold on file you want to send -> Select "Beam File" and then wait for the list of Bluetooth Devices to appear below the Infrared Section.
Alternatively use Resco File Explorer which has a specific Beam via Bluetooth option and (to me) seems quicker and more reliable (At least to startup).
Erm nope?
"Beam" via File Explorer makes no effort to open a Bluetooth connection (I've got a wireless video sender next to me and everything anything tries to do ANYTHING with Bluetooth it interferes like crazy with the picture)
Also tried Resco and that only has a "Send via Infrared" option. I see no Bluetooth option :-(
This is with an O2 XDA IIs running their software :-( (Although no O2 customisations)
I have GOT to sort my cookies out. Yes above was me again... I think that's 3 posts today I've done as a guest. DOH :-(
Then I'm at a loss as I can do it with both!
I am using Resco v5.12 and the menu item is under Send To > Bluetooth Recipient... if that is of any help.
That's freaky. I see you're not using the standard O2 rom's though. Perhaps something to do with that. I just backed up, did a hard reset and tried again, but still no joy :-(
Is "cooking" my ROM hard/bad? I've seen all the files/documentation on WIKI etc, but mostly just worried about WHICH I should install on it :-(
--Neil
Could be, can't remember now, had so many variants of CE Rom and Ext ROM I have lost track!
We have spent a long time putting together a "Wiki" for the Blue Angel for upgrades etc and I have had no problems yet (I would say it has improved the responsiveness of my device and I no longer have any real issues with Bluetooth, audio or WiFi).
Have a play, you can always go back.
To send a file via bluetooth on Blueangel, first you have to turn on your BT
then open the Bt manager > press on new > choose "Browse files on a remote device > select "All devices"> The BT scan for the online Bt devices> Select lets say "Nokia 7650"> press next >now discovering the device>pair it>a window will appear showing you the files> select the file you want, et voila... :wink:
I also had the problem of not having any option to send files via bluetooth when using the inbuilt file explorer. Consequently, I installed the trial version of Resco Explorer. After using it for a day, I uninstalled it. Imagine my surprise that when I now open my inbuilt File Explorer, I get the option for Send via Bluetooth. I don't know if it's related to Resco or not, but it's worth a try? Just install the Resco Trial Version to ur PDA2K and then uninstall it.
The answer is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17976&highlight=
i've been using my xda IIs for 2 months now but I seem to not get the bluetooth sending capability correctly.
My problem is this, I can not send a file via bluetooth. For example, I want to send a MP3 to another bluetooth enabled Phone. When I Tap the file and select "beam file", it does not send via bluetooth but instead only via Infrared.
I am doing it right or should I follow another way of sending files via bluetooth. I could receive files though, it's just the sending that's I'm not able to do correctly.
How should I send it?
thanks for the help
--------------------
O2 XDA IIs
Yes, I face this problem too and know others who have this problem in this device. I hear BT build 3900 takes care of this problem. I have build 3500 and waiting for the next Imate ROM upgrade that will take it to 3900. Till then, I make do with Resco File Explore.

asar, what does Resco File explorer do? how is it similar to the bluetooth software that's built-in on the device?
cheers!
Ok, i just dont seem to get this.
how do i send a picture or an mp3 or video file to another bluetooth device.??
i can send contacts simply click and hold 'send via bluetooth'
files
click and hold NO 'send via bleutooth'
all i can find is Beam which is Infared.
I can receive files thru bluetooth no problem
i just cant seem to send them.
Help plz!
very simle
Without the use of any illegal applications en cheats this is possible,
I agree this is a ridicules solution and need to be improved, only with a register tweak you can increase the search time for example.
For any developer reading this, plz make something nice of the bluetooth manager.
PLZZZZ do so.
But coming back to your problem:
To send a file go to your bluetooth manager, (right down under) in your today screen.
make sure you're bluetooth is enabled.
Pair the device, usually create a "OBEX file transfer' between the devices.
Once you are on the system, usually a /storagecard you see in the menu left down a option; send file.
click, you are allowed to send 1 thing at the time this way.
So hopefully someone is able to improve this to a single click way to do it.
So many clicks it lacks the fun of it.
:!:
bluetooth fix!!
It's even more simple than that, all you have to do is upgrade your bluetooth to the 3900 build wich can be found on the ftp site. than all you need do is tap and hold the item you want to send and the message will appear 'send via bluetooth'
that is true and i have go that all sorted now
but..
it wants me to pair with every device i send a file to!!
i dont want to pair i dont want to use pass codes.
any help on this one???
Yeah Mike, This is called Bluejacking and I want to do it too
Steve
my older phones (k700i, nokia 6600, p910i) didnt ask to pair with any device it just askd the user to click, accept or decline.
grrr why do i have to pair with everything grrrrrrrrrrrrr
it shouldn't ask you to pair, it doesnt on mine, the other day i bluejacked my mate with pics and it worked fine, make sure you have the latest radio and bluetooth build and there shouldn't be a problem
ive got the latest bluetooth.
whats this radio shizzle??
if you go to the wiki site and follow on the blue angel link you will find the link to latest radio, best off upgrade the rom!
if i upgrade the rom what will i have to do ?
is it as simple as
connect it up to my pc
run the rom upgrade and wahey done?
will i lose data? etc
im new to XDA stuff so dont want to lose information and stuff.
any one fancy giving me a dump explanation of the risks advatages and etc?
If you got the link below you will end up at the site that i started with...
It explains how to flash your rom, how to find the best rom update, if need be go to the biginners link towards the top of the page.
You should find everything you need to know here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
Total Commander for PPC (link below) - free and allows beam (IR/BT etc) from Total COmmander interface (which is like file explorer)
Link:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
is the ppc version totally free or is it a time limited demo? as i understand the site, the desktop version i shareware but i dunno if it self terminates/cripples after the shareware period.
ppc is completely free.
Bear with me......
I have WM6 running, but when I connect to my laptop via BT it says there is only the Serial connection available, now I am being thick? As I cannt get the laptop to send things via BT OR the phone to recieve via BT, by things I mean photo's and vid clips etc etc, but always fails.
I have paired them repeatedly and deleted connections and made connections and everything.
So I am at a loss, am I missing somthing obvious or is it more problematical? I guess it could even be the XP BT stack, but thats next on the list to check.
Hints, tips and advice as ever greatfully received

Hi, sounds like a very annoying problem, i can only think of 2 things:
1. make sure that 'recive all beams' is ticked on your PDA, this sets the location etc for when you recive files in bluetooth i think.
2. uninstall your bluetooth in XP and reinstall it to another USB port.
I hope this helps, i cant think of much else to help
ummm.... 'receive all beams' would be infrared.. not bluetooth
install schap's advance config tool (should find it under the cab collection thread) and there's an option to enable OBEX file transfer. After you do that on your trinity and soft reset, you should be able to send/receive files
Thanks will do.
I wonder if I should upgrade the software too? I have MinRus's original WM6 onboard atm, or perhaps it's LVS's..... I really ought to pay attention, and now I see that there are loads of "newer" ones out and about.........
/me goes to ferret around the fora
"ummm.... 'receive all beams' would be infrared.. not bluetooth"
no it's both
that's what i thought too, its for both.
when i send a file it's : "beam file" you see your infrared and bluetooth connections.
and maybe this: visible for others in bluetooth options? will help ?
check the same for your laptop maybe...
Hello,
I have really a strange issue. I am unable to "beam" the images from Touch HD to Bluetooth enabled PC using Bluetooth. I tested against two PCs and it never worked. The activesync works ok. But i don't want to use activesync... as it's a bit of overkill - i am looking for a out of a box solution that will possibly work with every pc everywhere... last time i ended up with mailing the images by email =))
Both sides have bluetooth enabled in visible mode, i am using either resco or wm file explorer beam function, then the list of visible bluetooth devices appears, but when i select the PC it always fails. =((
I remember there was some issue of "too much services pc provided", but i am unable to remove services provided by the pc i have no use for as FAX for example. On both PCs there's bluetooth stack by Widcomm, once branded for IBM and once for HP.
I have a PC with integrated bluetooth module and a Microsoft driver. If I right click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray (lower right near clock), I can select "receive a file" which brings up a little wizard that waits for you to beam your picture. Maybe your Bluetooth device also has this software. I use ActiveSync for several pictures because in the long run it's quicker.
PGMMA, yes, but this is about widcomm driver... not ms... =(
Activesync is OK, but won't work on a PC without Activesync - i had an issue, when i want to send a image/file to a friend. No luck. The Bluetooth Stack Tray icon gets green for a sec, then white again with no message what so ever.
The other computer now requires pairing all the time, but i am sure i can handle that later. =)
Well i tested dryar 1.6 (i was unable to find the version 2.0 which should be on dryar.com) without a luck, but was able to make at least part of the bluetooth ftp explorer working (HTC_BT_FTP_Explorer_1.2.30489.cab)
i can share my files on cell phone, but i am unable to browse others after installing this file (couldn't enable the explorer in the ftp tab), when i click the icon in programs nothing happens.
anyone has a bt explorer fully compatible with blackstone / touch hd?
tried all versions from here, but simply \windows\btftpclient.exe won't start =(

There is NO working BT Explorer client for the Touch HD. I called HTC 2 weeks ago about this issue. They said that it's not supported with the current ROM, but they did say that they are building a new ROM to be released shortly & it WILL have BT Explorer support.
