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...

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.

I GOT IT BUT ...
thanks JOJO

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!!!!!!!!
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!

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.

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...
Hi, I have a tactical sail program to my windows phone, but this software can only use bluetooth to connect to the system on my boat. My boat only sends out signals over wifi. Is there a program for windows mobile that lets me receive wifi from the boat and trick the sailing software to belive it gets the information over bluetooth?
Martin
no lol. both two total different communication protocols..
I'm not sure you understood what I meant. Is there a program that can take wifi signals and send them as bluetooth inside the phone, to the sail program.
Martin
im pretty sure what u meant..
and i still say no. thats not possible
its like flying with a bicycle , without wings..
impossible
been searching a bit for bluetooth proxies...
looks worth while investigating it
google bluetooth proxy and check the web-pages which pop up.
i'm not a programmer but still i think u can get this idea to some developer to get it done.....
like my idea would be like get the data from wifi means from specific IPORT and redirect the data to a internal COM port...... u can add this port to a incoming PORT in ur application.....
but again im not sure how much this is possible in implementation

Anyone else having bluetooth problems or is this operator error?
I can switch bluetooth on, make my handset visible, pair with other devices and receive files from other handsets, however when I try to send anything, I can't connect to paired devices and bluetooth hangs meaning I have to switch my handset off and on.
I was using bluetooh last night and all was ok
but unlike my last phone c902 the bluetooth is on a timer then turns off visibility
Working fine for me. Paired up my bluetooth headset and will still be working hours later even if I haven't interacted between them.
It's strange, devices show as paired but not connected and I can't make them connect.
Have been able to use BT for file transfer between my Desire and laptop and HD2. Also connected to my Plantronics BT headset. I think you need to have an appropriate BT driver for some devices like BT keyboards.
I too am having minor issues.
The wife's hands free kit (Parrot CK3000 evo) in the car supports voice dialling by sending contacts to it and then recording a tag which is associated with the contact. This way the kit can do the voice dialling for handsets that don't support it.
For some reason the Desire refuses to send contacts to the hands free kit claiming it doesn't support the correct bluetooth profiles. This obviously isn't the case as all the other phones we have tried work perfectly with the CK3000.
Only a minor issue, as in my car which has the CK3300 everything works fine (including syncing the phonebook to the car kit). It's more of a problem for the wife though, as she wants to upgrade to the Desire on Saturday when her contract is up for renewal but at the minute won't be able to voice dial from the car.
Dae.
Strange. I'll try connceting to my laptop later.
I too am having difficulty sending files over bluetooth. I can accept files fine, from any source, yet cannot send from my HTC Desire. First the notification says complete, but 0 files sent. Then going inside it shows it has failed. And then clicking it and retrying shows Unknown file. What's going on??
Tried sending to two mobile phones, and a Windows 7 laptop. Easily works the other way around. Also, sometimes I can't turn my bluetooth off properly, it just crashes the chip while turning off and can't turn it on or off until I reboot. Thought it might be Advanced Task Killer, but tried the same thing immediately after a reboot and still can't send files. Any ideas?
still no closer to solving this, I think it may be going back tomorrow.
I'm also having problems...
I have the Parrot CK3200 LS-COLOR and it connects to the phone ok, or vice versa and then it always falls over when trying to sync the contacts... It shows my facebook profile pic and then it fails.
If I dial a contact through the phone, or receive a call, it comes out fine through the speakers.
So I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way the the desire handles contacts.
Sorry if there's been a resolution to this, I did search first
me to also having the same problems. spent 4 hours on google last night and still no closer.
Weird as it might sound, I had no issues connectiong to car stereo. But when I tried to pair it with friends mobile, SonyEricsson c902 - it crashed!
I was trying to send a picture file I have downloaded using bluetooth.
Also, can anyone tell me how to send a mp3 file I have downloaded off the internet to another mobile using bluetooth?
Thanks
Have you enabled FTP under Bluetooth advanced settings? I have no problem transfering files to and from PC or other mobile phone. Also make sure the device is dicroverable and paired.
I had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: I paired and connected the Desire with my bluetooth car head unit and it works fine for phone & audio, but it will not auto connect each time I get in the car and I have to go through the pairing process and enter a code each time. Voice dialling also doesn't work. My previous handset (Touch HD) connected automatically if the bluetooth was on so I don't think it's a problem with the head unit. Someone suggested it might be due to an old bluetooth protocol on the head unit (I'd like to avoid having to replace it if possible).
i managed to send a file to another htc desire today, last time i tried, i admit i didn't enable the ftp service, however I could not send via bluetooth to a nokia n96 but to be fair, my desire probably just didn't want anything to do with it . but on a serious note I cant seem to get it to send to my windows 7 x64 disto.

Hi guys
I have Skoda Octavia with full carkit abilities, this is my 1st car to have a carkit so please forgive my questions if they seem silly
I can pair my TP2 no problem in that...and my phonebook sync and every thing regarding the calls is ok
but the sms do not transfare by bluetooth to the car , can't receieve or read , or even hear a notification when i got sms ...only the incoming calls that makes sound when iam paird.. no sms sound or alarm or any thing !!!
so
1- why i can't have sms function on my carkit ?
2- why i can't at least have a notification for the sms or alarm?
3- the car cataloge say that i should have on the screan a setup list that i can manege the bluetooth from it ..and i cant find any setup list for the phone or the bluetooth !!!
4- can't i listen to mp3s using my TP2 on my car ?
i found some threads talking about some pairing prob but coudnt find answers on my questions
hope u can help me guys
help guyz
i bought a car kit MP3 player for my car. I paired it with my TP2 and enabled the "BT Audio" and "BT Handsfree". Outgoing calls work fine with no problems at all. But during incoming calls there is a problem. If the incoming call is from someone saved in my contacts, the BT carkit does not ring. If its from an unknown number (not saved in my contacts), it works perfectly. I tried all the tweaks and hacks in this forum but nothing worked. Anymore ideas.
samarrai,
sms/txts are not meant to transfer their notification sounds via bluetooth unless you're car is set to "BT Audio" or similar for music streaming from your phone. When in this mode, ALL notification sounds that go to your phone will be played through your music speakers. If you want it to work like this while listening to the radio, I'd suggest getting the radio cab for your phone and using it as your tuner (car-charger recommended, as you'll eat away battery power like crazy).
As for hearing the notifications while playing a CD or other media, best advice I can give is building a carputer
Hope this helps you - Mark

Sorry Samarrai... there has to be some setting on your head unit you arent selecting in order to have your texts show up on the screen. I know with the microsoft sync head units in ford cars its all really straight forward and I've had a chance to play around with those some but not the unit you're talking about. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer and asking them? It's probably a super easy solution that you may have overlooked when setting it up.
It always is!

the car kit was built in by the manifacture, its a Bolero Radio in my new Octavia, i can't find any setting in the car radio for the bluetooth connectivity what so ever !!!
i tried to contact HTC, they replied today by saying i should contact my car kit vendor for update!!
i don't know .. but other mobiles do sms pairing with the same radio, so it has to be my HTC..right? need tweek or something ?
@ Samarri.
Here is what I've been able to find out about various blue tooth enabled car stereos, more specifically those with an LCD screen.
Take a few minutes of your day & look into the settings of the stereo, there SHOULD be an option to update the stereo. a.k.a. Flash the stereo. If there is, look at what options it has for updating, some offer blue tooth update ability, others offer wifi over your cell phone internet.
In either case, you should more then likely need to update the stereo. Once the update is done, I'm almost 100% certain that your stereo will show the sms on the lcd screen.
More specifically your stereo, there IS an update available for it, and from what I read of the manual your stereo updates via blue tooth, so you will need to get a laptop or other way to get the file downloaded then pair it with your stereo, & update it.

Take a few minutes of your day & look into the settings of the stereo, there SHOULD be an option to update the stereo. a.k.a. Flash the stereo. If there is, look at what options it has for updating, some offer blue tooth update ability, others offer wifi over your cell phone internet.
In either case, you should more then likely need to update the stereo. Once the update is done, I'm almost 100% certain that your stereo will show the sms on the lcd screen.
More specifically your stereo, there IS an update available for it, and from what I read of the manual your stereo updates via blue tooth, so you will need to get a laptop or other way to get the file downloaded then pair it with your stereo, & update it.

Does it even say anything about showing your text messages on your carkit in the manual? If not it likely doesnt even support that feature and there for the problem is sort of mute cause it cant be done.

This is another thing my friend
i have the car manual and the radio manual they both printed 2009.
in the car service manual, it said that if my phone GSM III (which i dont know what dose it means) then i can have sms pairing showing my txt on the car screan (the Maxidot small screan which infront of the stearing wheel) that among other only GSMIII features like phone book pairing.
and casue i do have the phone book in the car screan i thought then iam GSM III !!! it said also there is also a bluetooth setup in the phone menu on the Maxidot screan, which also i don't have!!
in the radio manual there is more details about what will work on GSM III only .. but not one word about the sms function in the radio manual !! BUT may be cause they r talking on what appear on the Bolero Radio big screan ?!!! and sms and bluetooth setup only appear on the Maxidot small scran
here is 2 pages from the manual under the phone section talking about the sms function

Maybe it means a triband gsm phone? I have no idea... Get in touch with the manufacturer and find out.
I know having the phone book sync to the car doesnt require anything special for a phone just simple bluetooth I think. I set up a friends car stereo for them with their crappy flip phone that had bluetooth and was able to get the phonebook to come over so that cant be related.
Really, I doubt you'll find what you are looking for here. There's too many unknown variables that have to be taken into account here. You'll have to find out directly from the makers of your stereo how to do what you want to do. Once they tell you what you are supposed to do if you cant figure out how to do it with your phone, once you know what settings you have to have on your stereo, then come back and I'm sure someone can give you advice but right now we're sort of trying to troubleshoot for you blind.

u r right on the money in what u said my friend
I will try contacting the stero makers and see where it will leads me
thankx for ur help my friend
I found out what is the problem my friend through a skoda octavia forum
the GSM II and III is not something related to the phone, but its something related to the bluetooth of the car kit !!
the GSM II u have access as u said to the phone book also but with it u can access ur phone normaly and use any data connection funtion on it ( use the internet , update weather , ..... )
In the latest GSM III it access the phone using the RSap which disable the phone it self so as long u r hocked to the car , u can't use the phone but through the car , and so the sms , voice mail , ... are paired with the car kit to access them from there
i dont know if this GSM thing is a software i can update it or its a hardware thing, but what i know is that im surprsie that my brand new 2010 octavia have the GSM II not III
Same story here for me,((
but did you finally get to know whether its a software can be updated or its hardware issue???
