Bluetooth a picture

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.

Cant connect to gps

My XDAII wont connect to GPS. I have tomtom5 installed on my xdaII and have tried a BT GPS receiver and a wired one. It will ask you the device type unpon installation and then the port number.
no i dea which port to use and have tried then all anyway. I get a message no device connected. I cannot keep my BT device connect when i pair it either. Tried this on a XDAIIs aswell and exactly same prob.
Please help!!

i would try unchecking "recieve all beam files" in connections
to release com1
and try once more

Turn off beams releases com 1 for the wired gps. I think wired gps is the way to go if you need it for incar use only, I see far too many problems with bluetooth and if you have no sense of direction like me it is very annoying when the bluetooth decides to start acting stupid.

i will try
thanks guys im away from home till wknd so i will try this when i get back.
i will let you know if it works.
thanks

Yup that worked great thanks guys

Sending files via bluetooth

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

*SOLVED* ActiveSync via Bluetooth? NO COM PORT CHOICES?

Hi,
I am in need of some help on this topic. I am not certain if it is a ROM issue, an AS issue or a ME, like me issue.
Please don't flame me, done lots of googling, searching, etc and no luck.
Trying to sync with my laptop over bluetooth and using AS.
All goes well with the setup, each device sees each other, but when on the HTC Iolite, I go to
AS
CONNECT VIA BLUETOOTH
YES, to SET UP AN AS PARTNERSHIP
on the MODE tab, TURN DISCOVERY ON
on the device tab, Add a NEW Device
on the COM PORTS tab, to try to set up an OUTGOING PORT I do NOT have any options to select.
with my HTC Iolite I am running the latest iOmEgA rom installed.
Has anyone else had this same issue and BT with ANY other ROM on any other HTC or PDA? I have not flashed a different rom or tried this previously, so am not sure if it is a rom issue or a AS issue or what.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I usually only get it to work if there's a partnership established already. Meaning you should first connect it by wire, do an initial sync, and then try using bluetooth.

zzattack, others...
Well...it took me almost all night, but I learned aha! that the devices were NOT paired, when they are and ONLY WHEN THEY ARE, do you have the option to set an OUTGOING PORT. so I got it to work, frankly, this should be easier than it is. Now, with this said the AS connection is very, very tempermental in that
1. I stop syncing,
2. leave my office, with my phone / PDA with me,
3. return and reconnect via BT, then
4. activate sync from the phone / PDA AS, via the Connect via Bluetooth
5. I get the SET UP AN AS PARTNERSHIP and say YES then I can resync
6. Again too, too funky, but at least no USB cord
7. In the end I wil give this sync method a whirl and see how it goes.
Thanks!!

THread moved to Q&A

Best way to get it working properly is:
Delete any existing pairings on both the pc and ppc.
Check that the bluetooth program on your pc has a com port set up and that your pc is discoverable.
Go to activesync connection settings on pc and check that it is set to use the same com port as the previous step.
On ppc, go to activesync and attempt to 'connect via bluetooth'.
When it doesnt find a connection, select t create one, add device, and create a partnership with your pc. It SHOULD find activesync as a service.
Now you can close the bluetooth menu, and 'connect via bluetooth' again.
Make sure you are initiating the pairing from the ppc, and always initiate the sync from the ppc.
