Bear with me......
I have WM6 running, but when I connect to my laptop via BT it says there is only the Serial connection available, now I am being thick? As I cannt get the laptop to send things via BT OR the phone to recieve via BT, by things I mean photo's and vid clips etc etc, but always fails.
I have paired them repeatedly and deleted connections and made connections and everything.
So I am at a loss, am I missing somthing obvious or is it more problematical? I guess it could even be the XP BT stack, but thats next on the list to check.
Hints, tips and advice as ever greatfully received

Hi, sounds like a very annoying problem, i can only think of 2 things:
1. make sure that 'recive all beams' is ticked on your PDA, this sets the location etc for when you recive files in bluetooth i think.
2. uninstall your bluetooth in XP and reinstall it to another USB port.
I hope this helps, i cant think of much else to help
ummm.... 'receive all beams' would be infrared.. not bluetooth
install schap's advance config tool (should find it under the cab collection thread) and there's an option to enable OBEX file transfer. After you do that on your trinity and soft reset, you should be able to send/receive files
Thanks will do.
I wonder if I should upgrade the software too? I have MinRus's original WM6 onboard atm, or perhaps it's LVS's..... I really ought to pay attention, and now I see that there are loads of "newer" ones out and about.........
/me goes to ferret around the fora
"ummm.... 'receive all beams' would be infrared.. not bluetooth"
no it's both
that's what i thought too, its for both.
when i send a file it's : "beam file" you see your infrared and bluetooth connections.
and maybe this: visible for others in bluetooth options? will help ?
check the same for your laptop maybe...
Hi, I have a tactical sail program to my windows phone, but this software can only use bluetooth to connect to the system on my boat. My boat only sends out signals over wifi. Is there a program for windows mobile that lets me receive wifi from the boat and trick the sailing software to belive it gets the information over bluetooth?
Martin
no lol. both two total different communication protocols..
I'm not sure you understood what I meant. Is there a program that can take wifi signals and send them as bluetooth inside the phone, to the sail program.
Martin
im pretty sure what u meant..
and i still say no. thats not possible
its like flying with a bicycle , without wings..
impossible
been searching a bit for bluetooth proxies...
looks worth while investigating it
google bluetooth proxy and check the web-pages which pop up.
i'm not a programmer but still i think u can get this idea to some developer to get it done.....
like my idea would be like get the data from wifi means from specific IPORT and redirect the data to a internal COM port...... u can add this port to a incoming PORT in ur application.....
but again im not sure how much this is possible in implementation

Anyone else having bluetooth problems or is this operator error?
I can switch bluetooth on, make my handset visible, pair with other devices and receive files from other handsets, however when I try to send anything, I can't connect to paired devices and bluetooth hangs meaning I have to switch my handset off and on.
I was using bluetooh last night and all was ok
but unlike my last phone c902 the bluetooth is on a timer then turns off visibility
Working fine for me. Paired up my bluetooth headset and will still be working hours later even if I haven't interacted between them.
It's strange, devices show as paired but not connected and I can't make them connect.
Have been able to use BT for file transfer between my Desire and laptop and HD2. Also connected to my Plantronics BT headset. I think you need to have an appropriate BT driver for some devices like BT keyboards.
I too am having minor issues.
The wife's hands free kit (Parrot CK3000 evo) in the car supports voice dialling by sending contacts to it and then recording a tag which is associated with the contact. This way the kit can do the voice dialling for handsets that don't support it.
For some reason the Desire refuses to send contacts to the hands free kit claiming it doesn't support the correct bluetooth profiles. This obviously isn't the case as all the other phones we have tried work perfectly with the CK3000.
Only a minor issue, as in my car which has the CK3300 everything works fine (including syncing the phonebook to the car kit). It's more of a problem for the wife though, as she wants to upgrade to the Desire on Saturday when her contract is up for renewal but at the minute won't be able to voice dial from the car.
Dae.
Strange. I'll try connceting to my laptop later.
I too am having difficulty sending files over bluetooth. I can accept files fine, from any source, yet cannot send from my HTC Desire. First the notification says complete, but 0 files sent. Then going inside it shows it has failed. And then clicking it and retrying shows Unknown file. What's going on??
Tried sending to two mobile phones, and a Windows 7 laptop. Easily works the other way around. Also, sometimes I can't turn my bluetooth off properly, it just crashes the chip while turning off and can't turn it on or off until I reboot. Thought it might be Advanced Task Killer, but tried the same thing immediately after a reboot and still can't send files. Any ideas?
still no closer to solving this, I think it may be going back tomorrow.
I'm also having problems...
I have the Parrot CK3200 LS-COLOR and it connects to the phone ok, or vice versa and then it always falls over when trying to sync the contacts... It shows my facebook profile pic and then it fails.
If I dial a contact through the phone, or receive a call, it comes out fine through the speakers.
So I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way the the desire handles contacts.
Sorry if there's been a resolution to this, I did search first
me to also having the same problems. spent 4 hours on google last night and still no closer.
Weird as it might sound, I had no issues connectiong to car stereo. But when I tried to pair it with friends mobile, SonyEricsson c902 - it crashed!
I was trying to send a picture file I have downloaded using bluetooth.
Also, can anyone tell me how to send a mp3 file I have downloaded off the internet to another mobile using bluetooth?
Thanks
Have you enabled FTP under Bluetooth advanced settings? I have no problem transfering files to and from PC or other mobile phone. Also make sure the device is dicroverable and paired.
I had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: I paired and connected the Desire with my bluetooth car head unit and it works fine for phone & audio, but it will not auto connect each time I get in the car and I have to go through the pairing process and enter a code each time. Voice dialling also doesn't work. My previous handset (Touch HD) connected automatically if the bluetooth was on so I don't think it's a problem with the head unit. Someone suggested it might be due to an old bluetooth protocol on the head unit (I'd like to avoid having to replace it if possible).
i managed to send a file to another htc desire today, last time i tried, i admit i didn't enable the ftp service, however I could not send via bluetooth to a nokia n96 but to be fair, my desire probably just didn't want anything to do with it . but on a serious note I cant seem to get it to send to my windows 7 x64 disto.

take that back .. apart from the N96 joke.. reason windows was not accepting was because avast anti virus was blocking it.

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 PEOPLE
SINCE I HAVE UPGRADED TO 2.2.2 I'M WITNESSING SERIOUS ISSUES , STARTING OF LAG AND THEN SLOW AND MEMORY AND ETC.
BUT THIS ONE IS DAMN CRAZY , THIS IS BLUETOOTH ISSUE.
AS ALMOST EVERY DEFY HOLDER KNOWS THAT U CAN NOT SEND SONGS AND MUSIC STUFF THROUGH BLUETOOTH , AND U NEED ADDITIONAL APP TO SEND THE FILES.
THE APP IS BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER WAS WORKING GOOD BUT NOW SUDDENLY IT STOPS SENDING AND SAYS TRANSFER COMPLETED WITHOUT ANY PROCESS OF IT.
ANY SUGGESTION WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED!!!
yes it happenned and now fixed with ES FILE EXPLORER app. and it supports unraring the files too.
this app sending audio files as audio/*.
and it's not making ports for bluetooth. so far succsseful.
it has root options for superiours.
so if u like it just download it from the market.
what happened xda no one has solution for this matter?
everyone checking and no one answering.!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
I just have two suggestions for you:
1. NEVER WRITE ALL CAPS! It's like constantly yelling at someone.
2. Never expect an answer. This is a community of volunteers that help you if they can, not of people that should help you!
Have you wiped your phone? They sometimes say that you should wipe your phone after an update. Give it a try, try to get the phone to a state as fresh as possible.
Cheers!
thanks man ,
i'm on it.

This is not the only BT problem, BT headsets do not work properly either!
I have tested ALL possible ROM's and none work! I now have the famous CyanogenMod 7, latest nightly build and no luck.
BT headsets only work as half-duplex !! Can you fuc'en imagine! WTF?! The other person can not hear your voice, while he speaks or some other backround noise comes from he's end.
I have Jabra Wave, which is awesome and it works with all other phones, Nokia that is. I have read on some forum that this is Motorola policy to prevent use of other than motorola headsets, WTF!!
I'm guessing this problem comes from the BT chip firmware that flashing andoid can not reach or change.
We seriously need a bluetooth firmware patch / hack to DEFY, and other motos as well!
I'm willing to donate some money to who ever can fix this!
[edit]Iqua Smart Badge Bluetooth Headset does not work neither, it keeps beeping 5 sec intervals![edit]
Um.. I have a Nokia stereo headset, works full duplex and plays music in stereo. I've had other issues but now fixed.
I have BT problems with my Audi carkit. Could this be related to the problems you're experiencing?
Sometimes I have disconnects when a phonecall is in progress, sometimes I get an error on my car screen saying that the phone is not supporting some function, but when I try again, it works...
Any ideas?
I contacted Audi, and they are "suggesting" to buy another phone

Sometimes i have the same problem but we re install bluetooth file transfer and i am ok
Guys thanks for sharing the problems of this issue but so far i can not even send an image or a video through share which is built in the OS.
and regarding the Bluetooth file transfer app it's making it 30 ports for no reason.
and here i am, it's stopped sending the whole files even now i'm trying to wipe the data and reset and it might helps.
