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 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,

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 all, I can’t seem to find a straight answer on this forum about how to connect my SX66 (WM6.1) to my Windows XP PC over Bluetooth so I can listen to my mp3s or internet radio on my HIFI system that’s connected to my PC?
I am using a Bluetooth USB stick and I have them both paired using the BT software the came with Windows XP.
I had tried BlueSoleil software in the past to listen to my music but I didn’t find it practical because it keeps disconnecting and I would need to pair them again.
I am running ROM version: 6.141 WWE, RADIO version: 1.02.10 and ExtROM version: BLACK KERNEL
Thanks
first of all let's make sure i got the question right:
you want to stream audio from your sx66 to your pc, right?
well that is no problem in general, since the sx66 is known to have better BT quality than most of the other BA models (further range, higher tx rate).
since windows xp does not come with a proper usable bluetooth client (unlike vista) i woul generally recommend bluesoleil, because it can be a handy tool, once you got all the settings right. plus you don't need extra drivers, since most of the BT chip manufacturers work with bluesoleil.
then all you have to do is pair your device with your pc and once that's done, set bluesoleil to allow the device to do all further things in all areas without further confirmation.
then you need to make sure you have the a2dpfix on your sx66, which is needed for stereo bt stream.
then, when paired, start wmp and play music, and look in the mixer on your pc, if a signal comes in, and what channel and turn it up / activate it for audio input.
(let me repeat that all this is so much easier in vista, and for every step i made the other day i have to think of 5 ones which are necessary to do the same on xp)
then your stream should work as long as you don't close wmp, if you do so and then want to continue playing, you need to connect to your pc in your BA's bluetooth app again, but need no settings on the px anymore which i guess is a relief.
back to the basics: if you really want to do that, you can do it now, but still i can't think of a reason why anyone should do that, i suppose the mp3s your playing come from your pc and you could play them there anyway, your pc can probably also play internet radio.
if that is a "i turn the screen off and control the music with my mobile!" thing, i can give you another freeware, with which you can control winamp, whenever you are connected via activesync, no matter if you are doing that via cable, cradle, BT or wi-fi.
i just gotta look it up, i don't have it right now either but it is great!
e.g. i want to control my music while playing, but with full screen games and without media keys on the pc's keyboard i need an external winamp control to (plus it also provides jump to and other things media keyboards can't do).
EDIT: i could not find the program i had to control winamp from my device, but it was a bit older, even worked with wm2003se, but i did find, that people do like to control their pc players from mobiles, therefore, a thread was made, to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294524
greetings Chef_Tony
P.S. please re-post, if it worked and if that is what you actually asked.
Thanks
Thank you for the quick reply; Yes you understood correctly.
It seems that BlueSoleil is the only solution for what I want to do, so I reinstalled (version: 6.4.245.0) again with the A2DPFix.CAB and it’s working for now.
Do you know where I can find a cab file to install on my BA to enable the rest of BlueSoleil services (Bluetooth phonebook….)? BlueSoleil is asking me to install “symbian\IVT-wm(1.0.2).CAB” on my device, but it doesn’t work and the only file I can find on this forum is the “bluesoleil_r2.arm_163.zip” for magician.
actually, for other services, like dialing, phoebook, sms and stuff i would suggest pairig the device, and setting up activesync via bluetooth, your phonebook is to be found in outlook then and for writing sms and completely controlling your device i would suggest MyMobiler, which is a freeware remote program which gets the BA's screen on the pc and you can control the device via the pc's keyboard and mouse. i also use that for making screenshots of new roms and stuff, it's free and works with activesync, so cradled, BT, wi-fi doesn't matter. that of course, doesn't 100% satisfy your question, i guess. i'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but be sure to check in this thread later, because i will edit, as soon as i found something that really brings you the services.
Thanks for the info. MyMobiler works great
By the way I uninstalled the A2DPFix because the sound was choppy.
Good evening,
Well MyMobiler is not working everytime on my device and i'd appreciate to find bluesoleil CE if it allows you to send sms from PC without having to link it anytime.
Have a nice evening.
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
Hi all,
I am currently looking in the NFC functionality recently added in Android. I am not yet familiar with Android development and I would like to have your advises on what I am planning to do.
My goal would be the following: Performing an automatic bluetooth pairing between a Nexus S and a linux computer by means of NFC. To the linux machine is connected a NFC breakout board (from microbuilder). Once the bluetooth pairing is done, I would like to launch automatically an application on the mobile phone, which will then be used to interact between the mobile phone and the linux computer.
I have read in several websites that this should be possible, but I would like to know is someone already tried something like that, or if an experienced Android developer think that this would be possible to do.
Thank you in advance !
Kind regards,
Guillaume
Hello
I am new in this forum and I am asking for help
I have a Huawei Honor 7 Lite Phone and I would like to connect it to a computer via bluetooth
from my knowledge it results that in the device manager there should be serial ports, eg incoming and outgoing
after connecting via bluetooth, I do not have these parameters.
I have an application on the computer thanks to which I can see who is calling to me. I used to use for this purpose samsung b2710 which was perfect for this type of solutions but now we have gone forward Is it possible that such ports will appear? I learned from a friend that once android version 2.1 was serving ports
Maybe some bluetooth manifesto written in an android studio? I am asking you for help and thank you in advance
