Hey I was wondering which app people used to transfer files through bluetooth.
I tryed using Bluetooth file transfer app but I can never connect to my girls evo, always get an error stating that phone doesn't have the FTP or OPP profile. I played around with it but can't seem to get it to work.
I'm on cm7 n35 default kernel

I text them the dropbox link, haven't been successful in getting any bluetooth transferring to work
Odd, I use bluetooth all the time without an added app. I just click on file, pic, etc and share via bluetooth and it connects and transfers without issue.

I am trying to stream a 163 mb MP3 over A2DP - to my parrot carkit. I am running stock Froyo.
After 10 minutes, the app that streams the mp3 crashes without any notification or error msg.
To rule out the obvious i have tested the following:
* tried several apps: standard streaming media player / winamp / mixzing.
They all crash after aprox 10 minutes without notification
* stream does not crash on "normal" streaming (so it crashes only on A2DP)
* tried 2 bluetooth devices (Parrot mki9000 and Voiis Stereo), on both devices stream crashes.
- i increased the buffersize to rule out buffer problems. Same issue occured.
is there maybe a 10 minute streaming limit for A2DP?
I attached the log of my phone of the time when the stream crashed. From the log, I cannot clearly tell what's going on.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
I'm using poweramp player with A2DP streaming via Bluetooth to my sony carhifi. I also use big/long files and never get a error or fc like u.
Maybe it's the file? Try another kbit/s like 192 or somelike...
But I don't think this is the clue... because I use 320 kbit/s files and it's working for me...

Do you mind sharing the link to the mp3 you are streaming, so i can try if it works for me?
Just for that we don't misunderstand each other (because my English isn't perfect...)
U are playing (big) local mp3 files stored on your SDcard in a player on your phone while connected via Bluetooth to your carkit (A2DP)?
Right?

No, i am streaming an MP3. So the MP3 is on the web.
Oh sorry... I meant streaming from phone local files to car...
In your log file it says "disconnect to pid4860" this is the player. Then it says, that there is a bad keycharmap and then its loading default querty keyboard... strength... do u use any modded keyboard? I don't know if it has anything to do with that, but it's in the log...
Greetz
U connect with mobile network, or over WiFi?

I connect with 3G because the purpose is to listen in my car.
And yes i do use an alternative keyboard, SlideIT.
Mhh... maybe try to uninstall the keyboard...dunno if it has an effect, but u can test
I had issues in older android versions and it helped to deactivate the HFP-profile in the Bluetooth-settings for your parrot device. There are 2 options, just check only the box called like "use audio of phone via BT", not use for call's.

Hi everyone... so I have been endlessly trying to get my Wildfire to send stuff to my mac, my pc or my ubuntu.... but nothing....
Long story short, after pairing I see right underneath the paired device's name 'Paired, but not connected'..... I can receive files just fine, the issue's with sending them... it just miserably fails... I have tried them all: Bluetooth File Transfer, Astro Bluetooth Module... you name it but nothing seems to work, any ideas?
My wildfire's running CM 7.0.3.
i solved this issue today on my win7. basically I just removed the phone from the system 5-6 times and kept pairing from windows until it gave up
I also flashed .20 radio
tomorrow it might decide not to work though...

Can you send files to other cell phone's via Bluetooth File Transfer etc???
I just extracted the BluetoothServices.apk (using ROM Kitchen)... tried to install it on my wilfire but miserably failed... so I thought it could be a compatibility issue (the stock rom being froyo and all).... is there a way to somehow recompile an apk without the source code??
I tried what ameya88 suggested and it works, it can both send and receive files from other phones, the problem seems to be with sending files to computers, I guess.
I had the same problem. Make sure your MAC is set to share with Bluetooth in sharing settings.

To be honest, the bluetooth functionality in Android is complete and utter rubbish. I've never been able to make use of it properly, without some sort of problems. Not being able to send files is the most annoying issue. Apparently there's a 3rd party app that works ok for this, but it really should work natively imo. Google, get your act together! This has been a problem for years now!
use "Bluetooth file transfer" ew can send files easily and at super fast speed
Does anyone know of any good apps to use for this? I used to have one for my G1 but it stopped working, got renamed, and I can't remember what it is now. Basically an app where I can take files from my PC and send them to my phone over my LAN using my phone's WiFi. The program I used before did this through my web browser on my PC and it worked fantastically while it lasted. I have Dropbox and I thought this was a feature, but either I'm not figuring out how to make it work or it's not.
Thanks!

Have you tried placing a file in your Dropbox folder on your PC, then accessing it through the Dropbox app on your phone?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Well that works obviously, however it doesn't transfer via LAN. It uploads it to the Dropbox server then downloads it from there when I grab it on my phone. While this works, it is also a time consuming process because Dropbox limits, at least my, download bandwidth from my phone. I can upload at about full speed (close to my 5 mbps upload) but my download isn't fast at all (will only download at about 100 kb/s when I have a 50 mbps download line). The reason I'm looking for LAN is because it is the fastest option available.
I'm looking for something like this to. I move stuff between my Transformer and g2 alot. Dropbox is nice but I want to get rid of the middle man.

you could just use one of the abd over wifi apps, that's what I do and it works well.
no spiffy web ui or anything of course and transferring via adb push/pull can be a little cumbersome, but it's easy enough (and fast).
Details on how to do this?
I use AndFTP. You might have to set up an FTP server on the receiving machine, but it allows multiselect and browses quite easily. It also has SFTP and you can connect over WAN as well.
Another option would be bluetooth file exchange, which might be built in at this point. You'll probably have to pair your device so that your computer can recognize the BT service. It's a bit slower than wifi! I know that Linda file manager and the OI/CM file manager support it. Long press the file and select send/send to bluetooth. To send from computer to phone, you'll need sumpthin sumpthin on your PC.
I put stuff on my NAS and the use CifsManager to access the drive over the network.
I think the best way to do this may be with Samba, and I used to use astro filemanager with the samba plug in to do this, but it just force closes on Gingerbread
Samba Is The Best!
Samba is by far the best way.
I personally use this app: Samba Filesharing
It runs a native samba server on the device.
I then have a drive letter mapped to my phone so i can simply access my sd card with any pc application without wires.

Try ES File Explorer
It does it all: basic file explorer, copy/paste, local or SD card or LAN and FTP, etc
One app to do it all
WiFi File Explorer is the app I use.
Turn Wifi on the phone, via web browser open the url (typically something like http://192.168.1.XXX:8000) and then you can transfer/delete/modify/create files on your sd card via your LAN.

I cant send or receive files via bluetooth, and i tried couple softwares, it still didnt work. do u guys have the same problem?
Bluetooth file transfer for me actually only works if I DON'T use any app at all. I just pair my laptop to my phone and then use my laptop to browse the phone and send/copy files that way, and now I do it all the time for pretty much all files. I used to use Bluetooth File Transfer app, but now if I open it, for whatever reason, they can't pair properly.
Well, i have tried that app before, but it seemed didnt work well. Hope DIY roms will fix it.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That app (and no other I've tried) works. It actually works for me when I don't use any app at all and just pair my phone to my laptop through the native Bluetooth settings and then navigate to my phone on my laptop. Then Bluetooth file transfers work really well
Ok, I know I'm not crazy, but is there ANY way, besides Bluetooth, to transfer large files between the LGOG and another Phone?
I've tried the LGOG's FileShare app but it refuses to recognize my GS3 even after they both connect via Wi-Fi Direct. And just using plain ol' Wi-Fi Direct doesn't even come up as a sharing option on this phone. I can't use NFC obviously because it's only intended for small files and links. I've already tried bluetooth, but I have another thread floating around this forum detailing my experience with my LGOG being unable to connect to ANY other phone after it powercycled when connected to a friend's GS3. (On a side note, it did it AGAIN when I was connected to my bluetooth speaker today)
This is the only thing that freaking bugs the hell out of me about this device. The lack of options to wirelessly share files between devices. Obviously my bluetooth is most likely defective. Waiting on a custom OS to see if that will resolve my BT issues. But come on, this is ridiculous.
EDIT:
Oh, and the SmartShare app limits you to only Pictures, Video, and Music!
You could always connect both phones to a PC and put them in MTP mode (not charge mode) and the PC will recognize them both as a media player, allowing you to browse the entire file system. Then just copy the file from one phone to the other using PC.
Can't WiFi direct be used? I know you tried it but maybe your doing something wrong. Sadly I've never messed with it

Well, I have a GS3 also. On that phone, whenever you long press on a file/app and click "Share", Wi-Fi Direct comes up as one of the options to use as a file transfer medium. All you have to do is clock wifi direct and click the device and BOOM! The file starts sending. However, on the LGOG, it's not that simple for some odd reason. I can turn on wifi direct on both phones AND link them. But if i wanna send a file from my LGOG to another wifi direct device, it doesn't come up as a share option. You can open up Smartshare and use the LGOG like a DLNA server and play/upload music, movies, and pictures from the LGOG to the other wifi direct device. But Smartshare (unless i'm using it wrong) only limits you to those three options. What if I want to transfer an 850MB .zip or .iso file???
You could try "samba file sharing" on the market. Phone should show as a samba share on your windows network. Then you can use es file explorer, LAN, access the share. Have not tried, but this should enable wireless file sharing.

Haha, so funny that you mentioned that app. I did an intense search and ended up stumbling on Samba Fileshare a few hours after my last post. Has a tendency to force close every now and then but it works pretty good.
