How to send file via Bluetooth with Blue Angel?

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=

XDA2s Will not beam files by bluetooth!!!

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,

BT3900.....?????

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 ???
how did you upgrade it to 3900
i dont get any cab file
is there any particular software to unzip this file !!

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!!!!!!!!

play music or movie sound thru Bluetooth

Any one know a hack or program that allows you to play sound from media players thru a bluetooth device without a dongle?

Dekum, it's specific to your hardware, some hardware is compatible, some isn't, but check out VJVolubilis and several other apps available on the board (I think one called BTToggle or something).
Once again, searching is your friend.
V

Hey all vijay555 has a tool that works well I think on his web site, go Check it out. I is the VJVolubilis.
I have the HTC Wizard with the new rom 2.16 it works fine. I also use the H700 Motorola headset as well.
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJVolubilis
Dekum

It doesn't work on Universal. I have a MDA Pro and I failed to get it working on it. Any idea?

...it works good for me...
btw don't forget to check/change installationpath within the *.lnk files.

Would someone take the time and layout step by step how you set this up and run it. I'm using a mda vario with total commander file manager and realy would like to use this, but just dont know to go about it.
Thanks

Bluetooth Explorer creates PROBLEMS for TomTom!!!

Indeed clicking as much as one time on "Bluetooth Explorer" will cause TomTom not to function properly any more (maps/voices not found etc.).
I have learnt that the hard way!!!
Many members of this forum speculated that the Artemis SD card housing is somehow related to TT's maps to vanish.... NOT TRUE!!!
After a hard reset I have tested that TT was fully functional and I have (intentionally... just to find out) clicked on Bluetooth Explorer and BINGO the TT6.1 maps&voices are GONE!!!
If some of the forum experts would happen to read this and would feel like giving instructions to disable Bluetooth Explorer it would be very helpful.... this will surely avoid SEVERAL hard resets to many people.
I have read that one should go to Settings/Connections then select the FTP tab and uncheck "Enable Bluetooth Explorer" but this is not to be found on my ARTEMIS (P3300)... Let's see if somebody will find a moment to share his/her wisdom with the rookies and shed some lights on this annoying problem.
Cheers!
SiperX

On my Orbit you do the following to disable the Bluetooth Explorer
Settings / Connections / Bluetooth / FTP (tab)
Then select or de-select Bluetooth Explorer.

I appreciate your kind reply Patrick but as you can read in my thread this path (Settings / Connections / Bluetooth / FTP (tab)) is not available in the Artemis/HTC P3300.... Anybody else?

Do you have a comms manager? If so you can access the ftp option of the bluetooth settings from here.
TomTom and Bluetooth explorer both work on my xda orbit.

herghost, what version of TomTom are you running?
I m unable to have Bluetooth Explorer enabled on my Orbit, and get TomTom to find the maps. I am running ver 6.02

perfect, i wasnt able to make tomtom recognize maps on orbit(on universal it works w/o probs) i switched bt expl. off and it works. thx

Guys, there is no doubt. TT (mine is version 6.1) and BT Explorer are NOT going to work together! I am glad to hear that phsnake could get his orbit to resume TT functions.... And (also) I found out that my old rom (the one originally shipped with the P3300) had the path (Settings / Connections / Bluetooth / FTP) to disable BT Explorer (as Patrick_UK explained) ... but the one I am using now does not offer the chance to enable/disable BTE.... any registry master would be kind enough to offer his/her expertise to make this possible? I am not so keen on editing the REG unless I know exactly what has to be done
rom 1.28.0.0 wwe
rom date 11-06-06
radio 02.69.90
protocol 4.1.13.30
ext. rom PDAMobiz.com

SiperX:I'll try today to find reg solution, i cannot promise anything, but i'll do reg export with btexpl. switched on, then with switched off and compare reg.files. hopefully i'll find the right one key.

Phsnake, this sounds like a great idea! Thanks in advance!!! I really hope that you can succeed and give me support in this matter.
By the way where did you find the rom (ROM: DOPOD IPL: 1.25.0001 SPL:1.27.0000 GSM: 2.69.90 OS:1.28.0.0 WWE) you are running now? It sounds lke the right one for my T-Mobile Artemis.

so i compared the regs and diff follows:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BluetoothFolder]
"EnableClient"=dword:00000001
"HDEVICE"=dword:00031380
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\68]
"ClientInfo"=dword:00000000
"Hnd"=dword:00031380
"Key"="Drivers\\BlockDevice\\BTDisk"
"Name"="BTD1:"
i guess all U need 2 do is change "EnableClient" from 1 to 0. try it and let us know. (i can disable it thru bt settings). or remove above posted reg entries.
ROM:its standard dopod shipped(the latest one) should be on wm-gurus.com

Thanks man! The registry editing you suggested worked and the BT Expl. is now OFF and TT finds the maps again!!!
But the option to enable/disable the BT Expl. (via BT settings as you say) is still not available any chance you could send me a screenshot of your reg for both [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BluetoothFolder] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\68]?
For your Dopod rom, could you please give me a precise link where I can download it? I could not find it at wm-gurus.com.
Thanks a lot

ftp.wm-gurus.com/Artemis/Shipped_Complete_Updates/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
yes i know that wont allow u to switch off btexpl. thru bt control panel.
Here are regentries U requested, but i dont think it'll help. but try.

Thanks again!
BTW, the same file (ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe) was available at XDA too.... I have tested it a few weeks ago it and -being an AU (Australian rom) my sim (Dutch T-Mobile) did not get registered as the operator is apparently not quoted .... strange that you can use it in Scotland.
For regs I will see what I manage to put together and will let you know... Great (and prompt) support was very appreciated...

Hi again,
I have flashed once more the ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe onto my Artemis and I have (FINALLY) noticed that the SIM does register and I am able to use the phone (incoming & outgoing calls).
The only problem is that every time I reboot I get a notification from the "NETWORK WIZARD" which says "your current operator (20416) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor".... Any idea how I can get this nag off my back?
Thanks

try to check \windows\startup

I have deleted (& made a copy for backup) these 5 files:
netwiz.cpl
netwiz.dat
netwiz.exe
netwiz.exe.0404.mui
netwiz.ini
from the Windows folder of my Artemis.
After rebooting the Network Wizard notification does NO LONGER pops up!!!! So I would say "Problem solved", right?
I am glad that -thanks to the recent communications we exchanged- you "inspired" me to give one more try to the Dopod rom and I finally seem to have found what I wanted.
Only one final point: In other roms if you click on the phone signal bar you get the option to turn on/off the flight mode and if you click on the icon on the right of the phone signal bar you culd turn on/off the WiFi... in this rom you get a small (blue) Comm Manager link to follow in order to enable/disable these functions.... did you find any faster ways to activate WiFi or Flight mode? May be they can be added to the voice commands?
Cheers

u can use phonealarm-some skins supports one click wifi, gprs,btooth switch,

I saw phonealarm but I have decided to spend the end of the weekend configuring my newly installed rom (immediately after I will make a Sprite backup) and along the way try to think of something to keep to a minimum the amount of additional SW installed. What do you think if I use "tray launch", would that allow me to make the necessary shortcuts?
By the way (with previous roms) I kept my Artemis overclocked at 240 Mhz and it was pretty stable, did you test any higher frequency on the Dopod rom?

Garmin GPS Unlocked on PPC - Complete Guide

First of all I want to thank all the members on different forums, who posted suggestions and files. I just read read and read for 3 days trying to make it work on my TYTN II. I finally did it and wanted to combine all the info in one post so lots of other members can benefit from it.
So here we go, please follow all the steps carefully and slowly….
1. Get “Garmi Mobile XT V4PPC” from mininova.
2. Remove any previous garmin installations completely from your ppc.
3. Download A. GarminMobileXTforPocketPcwithGPS10_4100wBeta.exe
B. GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_41040w.exe
4. From pc install A to ppc and DO NOT install or run on ppc when a window appears to do so.
5. From pc install B to ppc and install and run when window appears on ppc. When program runs , it will start looking for gps device. Cancel it, go to Settings then to About and write down your 10 digit Device ID.
6. Run GarmiMobile XT V4PPC key generator on pc and put your device id and generate SW key and Map Key ( Garmin city navigator nt 2008 ).
7. Open note pad. Copy and past both keys one by one and save them as SW.UNL and GMAPSUPP.UNL.
This is a critical point. In your windows explorer uncheck HIDE FILE EXTENSIONS. NOW MAKE SURE THAT BOTH FILES DO NOT HAVE txt EXTENSION AT THE END. THEY HAVE TO BE UNL FILES.
8. Transfer these UNL files to your ppc in Garmin folder.
9. Now run Garmin from your ppc, it should be able to detect your GPS now. You do not have to be outside at this point.
Installing the Maps.
1. Download Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2008 from piratesbay. Install on your computer and run. It will ask for the unlock code, put GNG55-L8WSA-S7YET-9U246-GJFQT.
2. That should unlock the mapsource. Select your maps to be transferred, save it on desktop on pc.
3. Name newely made map file GMAPSUPP.IMG ( no txt extensions ).
4. Delete GMAPSUPP.UNL and GMAPBMAP.IMG from your ppc in Garmin directory and load new GMAPSUPP.IMG from your pc to ppc.
That’s it guys you should be able to use the maps now.
Thanks once again to all the kind souls out there who made it possible.

I cannot seem to find the file from mininova. Can someone contact me so that I can get it and host it for others?

Was able to find all files and trying to install now.

Good luck guys guys. File should be on mininova.....

IT WORKS! But I had to leave GMAPSUPP.UNL on my ppc or Garmin Mobile XT would say that it could not unlock the map. Thanks for the instructions Tararura!
BTW: Im using it on a hw6955.

Good job coolcut....

Can you post
Hey,
I would like to thank you, thats amazing i have been trying to make this work for a while. I do have a suggestion though why down you post the files all togther for everybody to have. including the instructions that you have provided.
I have tried to search for the files but i can not seem to find them.
Thanks again...

The Files
Hi guys
Carry on................

This is Warez talk. This is NOT allowed on this forum.

Sorry about that. I didn't know that. You can probably delete this post.
thanks

Garmin Vs TomTom Vs iGuidance
How do you compare them especially on accuracy of routing and maps? Had used a friend's iGuidance 4 on X51v with WM6 briefly, I like its easy to use and the Text to Speech function but routing accuracy was poor in a lot of places since version 1.1. I have used TT6 for over a year now, generally routing is acceptable though its not optimal routing all the time. Between the 2, I opted for routing accuracy and map accuracy.
I have never used Garmin before, so how is its routing and map status. How old or how update is Garmin map. I need more information before I shell out $140 for the Garmin map.

HI there
I have TT and Garmin installed right now on TYTN II . I also used Mio/iGo on TYTN II. The best of all is Garmin. Its accuracy is the best. Graphics are not that great like TT. Garmin tells you if the destination is on Left or Right when you are close to reaching it. TT is not that accurate, once it told me that my address was still 2 blocks away when I already had reached it.
Another cool thing in Garmin is that once you set the addresses in Garmin for your Contacts. You can open contacts in your phone and then you have an option to route to it through Garmin.
Menus are simple in Garmin than TT. and Garmin has more POI like I could not find Tim Hortons in TT but Garmin was showing all of them.
Personally I like Garmin very much for its accuracy

I like TT6 because of better routing accuracy not destination accuracy as it does not matter too much for me if I am a house or 2 away. I bought GPS navigation softwares starting from 2001, none was satisfactory and I found TT6 had slightly better routing (sometimes I got wrong routing from TT6 as well but comparatively less than other software I owned). I settle for TT6 as a compromise, it lacks of storage capacity for Favorites.
It seems that you are quite happy with Garmin. I will problly try Garmin.

Yes try it , you will like it better.

what is the coverage for europe (countries, %)

Don't know but there are some European maps you can download for it.

i am using artemis, and i have copied sw.unl to garmin folder,.
when the device try to search, he try to search on my com port (com 4) but nothing happend, the satellite was not found (keep searching),.
any ideas???
thanks b4
