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 :-(

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=
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!

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?
I need help accessing my shared folders on my LAN when connected to my router via Wifi.
I can access the internet in IE from my Artemis but cannot access folders on my PC!
I'm sure with my old Alpine (which died and was replaced by O2 with the Artemis) I was able to do this by simply browsing the local IP - I definately could use remote desktop.
I want to be able to open files residing on my PC from my PPC but can't find any apps. When trying to do it in IE I get an error saying "The network path was not found." ( I put \\192.168.11.2\c$ in the browser)
Please can someone tell me what I'm not doing or doing wrong? If it's simply security/authentication configuration I need to sort out, please can someone write me a basic tutorial?
Thanking all in advance,
a desperate PPC enthusiast

Try Resco Explorer. It can access to shared folders on PC.
Or try the network plugin from HTC. Is included in almost all ROMs
many thanks guys, I downloaded Resco Explorer... looks good
If anyone else needs the network plugin, I found one thanks to the others advice at
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
cheers again for a job well done!

I had a bit of an issue trying to get this working too, but now i have it sorted and i have acces to my entire home network via my Orbit, its great. The best way I find is to make sure you have turned on file and printer sharing , added permission for "Full Control" for "Everyone" on the folder/file you want to share, install the HTC Network Plugin and finally you can use either standard folder (if you make network folder visible using HTC Network Plugin) , or use Resco Explorer (which I recommend as its very good). I have HTC Network plugin and Resco Explorer if ya need them.
I haven't found htc network plugin so if you can make it available, I'm sure it would help me and others with the same requirements.... many, many thanks for your input friend.

Good day,
I have a new iPAQ 614c which I am having a strange issue with. When I tether the phone to my PC to synchronize throught ActiveSync 4.5 the phone sends out a loop back ping. Our security policies (Cisco Security) blocks this request. This is the first Windows Mobile device that I have ever seen do this. I am sure there is a registry key that can be changed to stop this ping. After two days of reading registry entries I am unable to find it. Has anyone experienced this problem and is there a registry modification or work around for this problem. I am also interested in re-mapping one of the soft keys on the home display from HP Shortcuts to Contacts and am still looking for the registry keys to handle this mod. If anyone has any experience with either of these your input would be appreciated.

Hi,
The loopback ping should be somewhere in your TCP settings. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\... Here you can enable/disable DNSping etc...
For the remapping of the softkeys, try Vic's KeySwop.
Dirk
Many thanks for the quick response.
I have Resco Explorer and will be looking for that registry key.
Well,
I have run in to a brick wall on this one. There are no entries in ActiveSync, that I can find, that have any affect on the loopback ping. I found several references in the ActiveSync registry but none of them would turn off that function. I have also done some internet research and have turned up nothing. The HP Business Forum seems to be dodging this issue as well.
Like most here, I have used a Bluetooth Toggling program (in my case BlueTooth Switch) for years to make connecting painless.
And like most here, I was flummoxed and PO'd to find that it doesn't work on my Tilt 2, and in fact, nothing works, since HTC decided to use a different BT stack.
Why they do these things and don't think one step down the road to the Customer Experience I can't figure, but they screwed the Pooch bigtime on this one!
Well, I've found half of a solution - and a key that I expect will allow an expert here to give us an app to fix it all!
Buried in the WINDOWS folder is a file called "TurnBTOff".
It does Exactly what it says, so if you create shortcut to it in your WINDOWS/STARTMENU/PROGRAMS file you can turn it into a program launchable from the programs TAB.
Of course, you still have to turn BT on manually, but...
surely someone here can take the code apart, see how it's turning BT off and modify it to make it toggle the radio instead of just turning it off.
It would end up on virtually every Raph out there in no time!
Fame and Glory await!
Pretty please with sugar on top!
(or a beer if you prefer)
Thanks!

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

That would be great. I didn't even know there was one for the fuze.
Found! Works on my tilt 2:
