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

Anyone know how I would go about mounting my EVO's sdcard on a pc wirelessly? Thanks.
bluetooth?
lol, yes that is a question
Bluetooth File Transfer from the Market works well for me, although obviously your PC has to have Bluetooth as well. I bought a cheap Bluetooth dongle for my laptop.

I just use dropbox. drop the file you want on your dropbox folder then go to your phone, find that then download it and your good
Drop box is a necessity that or sugar sync basically same thing. I use it for all my side loaded apps so they are always ready when I flash a new rom.

why not use a2sd? (apps 2 sd)
Ive tried most of the solutions mentioned. I'm particularly looking to be able to access my EVOs sdcard either through a mounted drive or windows share wirelessly. Its important I can access it in this fashion because I work on computers all day and would like to be able to carry my drivers collection around with me. Its nice to be able to just point a machine to a drive share load the appropriate drivers. FTP, Dropbox and WebDAV solutions just to make this process efficient for me.
EStrongs File Browser is nice how it can browse PCs on the same subnet but I would like to do the same except browse my phones storage from the PC side via a share.
If you used something like dropbox you wouldn't need to use your phone at all just load up your dropbox with all of them and then just log on to the dropbox website on the computer you need the drivers.
I would think that anything that would make so you could wirelessly push files from your evo to a computer, would require a program or driver installed or a Bluetooth dongle, and that would take most of the point of away
you can always just carry around a usb cable and do it that way.
do a bluetooth file transfer, that usually works for me
try android desktop it is a small websserver on your phone it allows you to access your phone through the pc web browser. free from ao store. Blue tooth is fairly slow on large files. with the desktop you should be able to use the wifi or 3 g.
I did a quick search and did not see any other threads. I just got a 2010 GMC Yukon. It has a USB port that is suppose to be for mp3 media. I see that it allows ipods to connect to it and use your normal radio controls for control.
Anyone use their Dinc on this? I just figured out the bluetooth connection for calling and that is very cool
Try it out and see if it works

I did but got a message saying unsupported or something, didn't know if it was something I was doing or not.
Tried a regular usb drive and that worked perfectly, will try putting phone in storage mode
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.
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.

how to set mac to share????? kindly provide the exact steps
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
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

Yeah, I know the old school way. I'm just looking for a way to do it wireless.

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.
