Hi,
I've just converted from p900 to my new exciting xda2i, so please for give me.
How do i send a picture via bluetooth, bluetooth is on but when i go to tools it only gives me an option of sending it by email or beam?
hope you can help
if u have bluetooth turned on, open up the file explorer that came on the phone, then locate the picture in there and tap and hold it, it will then come up with some oprion, one of them being "beam file" then tap that, at the totp it will say send via ir and below as it find them a list of bluetooth devicecs will show up
hope this helps
Some pocket PC devices like Blue Angle had the problem that the beam option did not return any BT devices to beam to. BT build 3900 should solve that. Otherwise Resco File Explorer is a good way to do it.

What does Beam on these Kaisers do I have it on mine and Have no idea what this feature is,
thx in advance
It's supposed to be for IRDA transfers, but without an IRDA port in the Kaiser I think it's now used for 'beaming' files to another device via Bluetooth.
Having it on enables other devices to send data to your phone thru bluetooth,try turning on your bluetooth and sending something to your device with the beam function off,you can't,no wonder it was called "Beam receive" in the past.
Thanks guy very helpful, I always wondered lol
It's just for to allow receiving of incoming bluetooth transfer, but I miss the IR port, remember those universal remote control software we used to be able to install.
Hello,
I have just plugged my usb bluetooth adaptor into my pc and paired my pro with my pc which is great but if I right click a file and press Send To > Bluetooth Device, I choose the touch pro and browse for the file I want to send and it says "cannot complete the bluetooth File Transfer Wizard".
Any ideas?
I ahve used it with other phones and it has been fine. How can I allow it to send files over?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil
you got recieve beam turned on? i know it seems a bit daft but i cant do it unless thats on doesnt make sence to me but hay ho.
Thankyou so much
I'm sure there is a simple answer to this, but I haven't been able to find it.
I am trying to transfer a ringtone via Bluetooth from my Krzr to my new Fuze, and I can't get it to work. The devices pair without any problem, but when I try to send the ringtone, I get a failed message. This is not a copy-protected ringtone - it's just a music file I created. Is there some trick to this? There are work-arounds (transfer the file to the computer and then to the Fuze), but it is annoying and seems like it should be easy to do.
Did you turn on the Beam function on the Fuze? It's in the Comm Manager.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did. It didn't help.
Strangely, I can send files from the Fuze to the Krzr without a problem. But the Krzr can't send anything in reverse.
I haven't tried a phone to phone transfer yet, so not sure what else to advise. I know it works from computer to phone using bluetooth.
from my experience the bluetooth on this phone is absolutely terrible. itll connect just fine to my headset. but, i cannot for the life of me sync it up with my phone. bluetooth tethering is near impossible with all 3 of my bluetooth enabled laptops, as well as bluetooth activesync.
Go under Bluetooth settings under Comm Manager go to FTP Enable File Sharing and then go to security and turn off Authentication (Passkey) Required. You can keep Authentication on with another smart phone but when I wanted to send files from my LG non smart phone I had to turn it off.
I tried all the suggestions above, but with no luck. It's not the end of the world - the Bluetooth works with my headset, transferring files to/from the computer, and for tethering. It's more annoying than anything else, because there's no reason it shouldn't work.
Hello,
i was trying to copy certain files from my laptop to phone via bluetooth but could just not get it all working. I have BT turned on (both devices), they manage to connect via rather cumbersome set of dialogues (on laptop) but then I can only explore "services" on the device, whatever that is....
How do I send a file from lets say laptop desktop to the phone? And where can I locate it on the phone?
Thank you !
If you can explore services try looking for Bluetooth file transer service. It should open up the bluetooth shared folder which is common to both your phone and the computer. Drag and drop items from your phone or computer onto this folder and you should see them on either device. Default location of the bluetooth shared folder on your phone should be under my documents.
Thank you, will try that tomorrow back at the office
If you are using Vista, turning user account control off might help.
Mine is working now.
I gave up trying, too. Never have had any success with HTC phones, but SE phones always worked. Go figure.
Instead, I have networked/mapped my desired drives (with Resco File Explorer) of my laptop and desktop systems with the Fuze and and transfer files via WiFi that way. Works great and is fast.
Have you tried checking the box "receive all incoming beams"? It is located under settings and then the connections tab. Once there click on the Beam icon and make sure that box is checked. I couldn't send any files form my laptop to my phone until that was checked off.
Hello, all, I have this strange problem. When I send a file over bluetooth from my PC to my WM device the file is received without any notification or paring request. The same happens when I send a file from SE K850 phone - no pairing prompt, the file is stored in /My documents folder and no notification is shown.
My pocket pc is asus p552w, it is set to receive all incoming beams and is visible for all.
How do I make it ask for pairing?
Thank you.
there should be a security setting in the beam settings to alter ht esettings
as for a mor advanced notification use Obex inbox
Thanks for the advice jayjay,
however Obex inbox did not solve the problem.
And here is something really interesting - this happens only when I am sending image files (.jpg, .bmp, etc..) On other file types the device pops up a propmt for pairing, but for images there is nothing!
Hey, guys, any ideas on this one?
try moBlue 2.1
@nir36 I tried moBliue and ObexInboxEx and they both did not help. When sening pictures from my PC to my PDA there is no notification, for other file types a pairing dialog pops up.
Anyway, I dug up the net and it seems that moBlue and ObexInboxEx actually do not handle these type of transfers. They only handle obex pushes, and this, I thik is some ftp type of transfer which is handled natively by the MS bluetooth stack.
What is strange, though, is that this only happens on pictures! I am thinking that maybe there is some registry setting for this specific file type....
