Paired OK but would not connect and transfer anything from Desire. Could not find anything to force the connect and I thought this followed on naturally. Any thoughts? Data on Desire was removable disc.
What application are you trying to use for the transfer?
Using ES File Explorer on the Desire to send a data file over to GSN?
Look in the notifications on the sending device, there should be an entry something like 'Sending bluetooth files'. Click that and it'll list the files that it's tried to send. Chances are there's a 'device refused to accept the file' error, I've been getting that a lot.
Not really sure why...
The best workaround I've found so far is to use the 'Bluetooth File Transfer' app (in the Market).
On the 'receiving' device it will try and start a receiving service, if that works (watch for toasts on app start) then your transfers will be accepted.
If its receiving service fails to start - mine does because the standard one is already listening and I can't find a way to stop it - then start the Bluetooth file server, then use either Bluetooth File Transfer or ES File Explorer's Bluetooth tab (enable it in settings) on the sending device to copy/paste your files to the remote server.
Could do with a much easier method of doing this!
FileExpert looks promising, will be keeping an eye on its updates, but I can't get it to help me right now.

Hi guy’s
I wondering if some one of you know about a program called "ifile" or something like that
I don’t need to say the name of the phone where roun this software but is not from Microsoft (clear enough right?)
So, I would like to know if there exists the same program for HTC HD or something like it.
I talking about a program that makes possible to transfer files from the pc to the Blackstone BY WLAN and so on so far.
I mean that you just need to write the IP address in your pc at the explorer and that’s it
Thank very much
every addon file explorer like total commander (free) and resco explorer (commercial) have builtin lan support
it works much like windows' "map network drive" function and is very good, i myself i use it alot
you can even use, instead of ip addresses, the network names of the computers or browse through the whole network.
i MIGHT be wrong but it seems to me that even the default winmo file explorer can do such thing provided you install file explorer extensions (search on this forum you will eventually find them out and read about those)
some ideas
Hi. There are some options i can think of from the top of my head.
1
share a folder on your pc, access it from your device with your favorite browser (Total Commander).
2
read in about getting activesync going over wlan
3
mail stuff to your self and check it on your other device
4
try to find a web or ftp server for ppc
5
there might be some remote control software (you know, to control your ppc from pc, or take screensnaps etc) that is able to transfer files. I know there is a lot of remote progs available.
6
There is software available to browse ms networks from ppc, maybe there is some that puts your pcc right in there.
I´ll add more if I think of any.
Use Google.
Is tehre any way to AUTO accept bluetooth file transfers from paired devices at least? It's kind of annoying that the phone just can't get the file and let me deal with it later without my interaction.
I believe when you get the "Accept Transfer" window up there is a check box to allow that device to send without confirmation from that point on. I can't check because I believe I've already done it with my laptop and so I don't get a confirmation alert any more, the files just transfer. I've turned BT on and off on my laptop and restarted the phone and it still doesn't so I'm sure I got it to do that.
I believe there's not not on my desire anyway, it's just accept or deny and there is no option to "always allow" so I have no idfea how to maek the phone STOP ASKING
Well, I just deleted my phone from my laptops paired devices and vice versa on my phone.
I made the phone discoverable and sent a file from the laptop. First the laptop searched for it and found it, I selected it and a request to "pair" showed on the phone. I clicked Pair and confirmed on the laptop, a second confirmation popped up to show a pass key and confirm the same was showing on the other device, being my laptop. This was correct so I confirmed on the phone and again on my laptop.
Finally it tried to send the file and a third and final confirmation screen has popped up. It says "Device <laptop> has requested permission to access the files on this phone." There is an option to allow or not and above that is a check box that says "Always"
You're saying you don't get that "Always" check box? I'm looking right at it.
I am scratching my head, what in lords name, well I don't have one I will go through the pairing procedure again and see if I magically get one but I never seen it so far weirdly enough!
Redid the entire procedure and find no box anywhere what so ever

Very strange. I've paired two different laptops this way, one a Dell another a Toshiba, both with different blue-tooth stacks (Toshiba and Microsoft)
so st range I've now tried pairing it with another cell too, I STILL never get a darn checkbox. I do get a checkbox to always allow the computer to connect, so far I'm good, but when I send a file I still get the box to accept or deny the file and there is no check box at all in this dialog.

if you could post a screenshot
Got no problems with connect confirmation. Paired my Jabra BT car speaker and since then when I turn it on - it automaticly connects with Desire without askin' me for permission.
Just thought I would chime in, I have the check box and checked it but it still asks me everytime anyway lol
lol, now that's helpful, even if I get the darn box it won't help me!
I was looking for some auto accepting app but there seems to be none so guess I (+ a few more) are the only ones having this problem.
BT Stacks?
I'm using the Toshiba bluetooth stack which does give you the 'always' option, but my HTC Hero (Fresh ROM 2.XXX - the latest as of 06/06/2010) asks every time anyway.
At some point I believe I had my phone auto accepting the file transfers from my home comp, but I can't remember which BT stack I was using. As for the phone I had Sprint's Android 1.5 release.
Maybe its the combination, you guys mind letting me know what BT stack and phone OS combo you're using? It's pretty annoying to have to confirm each send, since I can't send folders (never been able to do that with my Hero). I can send 10 files at a time though (think thats a BT stack restriction, since nothing happens when I try to send 20 files)

Weird. I've basically given up on this one though some say it works some say it doesn't. Gotta pick you fights, I'll just accept manually for now.
I don't have this auto-accept checkbox either... why??
HTC Hero using Android 2.2 with FroydVillain 1.4.4
I can get mine to auto accept file transfer by sliding down to the notification view. It ask for the first file, I accept, during the file transfer, I slide down the notification view and then it auto accepts the following transfers. If I get out of the notification view, it starts to ask me again. Weird...
May be it works also for U
Mine always asks me to accept communication with another device (at this point I tick the 'Always accept' box), then asks me to confirm file transfer.
Every time after this I stil have to confirm the latter, as there is no tick box for that one!!
Is this the same as other people are experiencing?
BlueTooth File Transfer Confirmation
Folks, I think this is what your looking for, let me see if I get this right > you want to transfers files i.e.(FTP,OPP,BIP files, or Files, Objects,& Images) to a Laptop and you keep getting the message that says "File Transfer Confirmation". If this is the problem you can try this.
Start>Bluetooth (all programs) > Bluetooth setting>Options>security Tab>Custom Level> under Bluetooth Information Exchange>uncheck boxes> Display File Transfer, Display Object Push, & Display Image Transfer.
Now when you Bluetooth to your laptop the file transfer window will appear to show you that something is transferring but will no longer ask you to accept it.
Make sure that you have chosen what location you want the files going into, because if you want to change where it is being saved, than you have to go back into Bluetooth setting to do so.
Hope this helps. - Jason

Try this app on github.
Please visit my git repository(KYHSGeekCode)
And install the app if you have Root permission.
It works fine.

Is there a program to enable transferring files from PC to defy such as Windows Mobile Device Center does it with WM devices.
there are several way
1. the official way, if you connect your phone and pc with usb cable, there will be a web interface appeared. you can operate your phone by means of it. only IE support file transfer.
2. wifi. you can install a software such as ipmsg to transfer file. some software can share file, such as afile and so on.
3. bluetooth. you should install a software named bluetooth file transfer and enable obex file transfer service, then you can transfer files.
maybe there is more way to transfer file, I am searching.
Media link available on motorola.
Dropbox (wireless)
Or awesome drop. (Wireless)
Sent from my DEFY using XDA app
The official way (Phone Portal) works via wifi too. No need for USB.
I really like the official usb-media function.

DLNA? Been using it to pull files off my computer, my son's and my Buffalo Link Station.
Thanks very much for your replies, I am now able to transfer files to Defy.

is there no build-in, easy peasy was to use BT for file transfer without installing a software like "bluetooth file transfer"? why is my phone telling me that a device is paired but "not connected" or how can I "connect"?
motorola's encrypted bootload is a bit annoying, but its retarded handling of USB connections is simply unacceptable. adding the apparent "difficulties" with bluetooth connections makes me wonder if I will ever buy a motorola device again ...
Hi all,
I'll start with what I want to do. Basically I want to be able to access my files on my PC at home from anywhere where I have a network connection, either over 3G or Wifi.
I don't want something like dropbox where I have to sync all my documents/music/videos to dropbox online. That means I have copies on dropbox and on my PC. Plus I am restricted to the space dropbox provides (I think it is 2gb).
I have searched the internet and the market to try and find an app that will help with this but I can't find anything. I don't want to stream anything I simply want to be able to browse my files on my home PC and then copy anything I need from my PC, using my phone, to my phone.
I have heard of Orb but that sounds like it streams the data. Take this scenario... I am in the office and realise I need to show a client a video. I show it streamed from my PC. Someone else comes and wants to see the video but I'm in an area with no data signal, I can't stream! If I could have copied the file to my phone from my PC remotely the 1st time then I wouldn't have that problem.
I hope I've explained this enough. Thanks in advance for any answers, it is much appreciated.
Take a look at this : ES File Explorer
Also take a look at this, too : FileLinx 3G Print or Transfer
Also some interesting articles:
howw-to-accesstransfer-files-on-your-android-phone-wirelessly/
transfer-files-to-android-phone-via-drag-and-drop-using-awesome-drop/
I use Windows Home Server to get this functionality. It also gives me automated backup and lots more such as music streaming.
1. set up a ssh/sftp server on your home PC
w w w.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1487/setting-up-a-sftp-server-on-windows
2. use ASTRO, ESfileexplorer, or CIFS manager to mount/access the share remotely. Start by setting up inside your LAN, and makesure it works. Then move to WAN (will probably need to make sure your ISP provides you with a static WAN, and port forward the port the server is using to be able to access it "out in the wild".)
3. access your files whenever you want (as long as PC is on, and server running, and connected to the net)
I have installed Teamviewer on PC and Android version on HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy Tab, working great.
I have tried to use a bluetooth mouse on Desire during such remote connection, which was a bit funny.
I'm using cifs manager, works perfect for me!

I had it in my Nokia, so simple.
Is there a way to open and transfer the files at my DHD through my PC via Bluetooth?
I hate this cables that I need to plug in just to transfer 3MBs..
I want to make this "Removable Disk [E]" but via Bluetooth connection,
not sending file like (right click > share > bluetooth, and then it sends to my phone)
I want a full access, opening my DCIM folder, deleting files, and renaming..
Is there a software or app to make it?
I could do it very easily with my old N95 with its software "Nokia PC-Suite",
I could just enter the software (through keyboard shortcut that I made), and few seconds later, by no touching, no connecting any cable, it would open my phone's folder.
I miss that easy life
How can I do it here too?
Thanks,
Yarden.
There is similar apps called Wifi Explorer Pro...as it name states, it uses wifi though...if it suits you, it can explore, download or upload any files from and to your desire hd...using wifi...much faster than using bluetooth though...i hope it helps you

Use MyPhoneExplorer and wifi. It's what I do to sync contacts, calendar and files.
Dave
First of all thank you for your replies.
But both apps aren't really what I'm looking for,
I'll explain my self again,
I want a pc software (not necessarily) that when I open it, it searches via bluetooth (or as new as you teached me, via WiFi), for my phone and open its files, like it would do if I plugged the USB cable.
That it gives me a new drive (C,D,E,F...) with all the mobile contents (folders, music, pictures ..etc)
I use web sharing it gives me full access to my sd card.
