Probleme using Bluetooth to send Files to others !!!

Hello,
I try several time to send files using BT on my Tornado (Qtek 8310)
And I never get the chance to do it right. (I try from Qtek to Qtek, Qtek to HP etc.......) without luck
I ask several person arround me over her in Belgium and same things. Can't send files via Bluetooth ?
what is wrong or is there any other tools to use ?
thank you

In which phase the operation was failed?
What software did you use to send the files?

the regular File Explorer included
I even try the Resco Explorer same thing
I can't get files from others ?

If you want to get files from other devices via Bluetooth, you should set your Tornado's Bluetooth mode to Discoverable.
Furthermore, in Settings -> Connections -> Beam, you should check "Receive incoming beams".

all this settings as been done. But again yesterday I try to send files to Qtek 9100 and could not be done
strange

first you need to apply registry fix first to enable bluetooth file transfer:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled, change from 0 to 1,
than send files from builtin file manager, not resco (resco support only widcom stack).

thanks but the OBEX was already set to 1 (enable)

For Bluesoleil PC software, You should use Bluetooth Object Push Service -> Send Object to send file to your Tornado.

Kinda stupid question... I've sent a file to my phone via Object Push and I don't know where it went to...
Any help please?

It seems that you cannot push big objects to your phone, because there will be no enough ROM space or some other issues. Under 1MB seems to be okay.

well, I was able to send them, but I have no idea where they are... BT soft on the PC transferred files with no problems...

Nope... not there.
And the search for the exact or not exact name of the sent file does not get any results... (searched by Total Commander...)

Problem using Bluetooth to send Files to others !!!
Hello everyone!!!!
I am a newbie in this forum and I would like to learn from you guys in the future.
I own Dopod 577W which is also called i-mate sp5 or Qtek 8310.
I have the same problem. I am using bluetooth dongle with Bluesoleil PC software. There is no "File Transfer" option so I use the "Bluetooth Object Push Service".
Whenever I send a file from my desktop, it says" File sent successfully".
However I can't find the file in my phone.
Send/receive from other mobile phones has got no problems.
Example: I send a picture from other mobile phones, it will ask"Image received, save it to the phone?" When I send from desktop(using the bluetooth dongle",the phone does not ask that question. That's why I can't find the file in the phone I guess.

I've got the same problem - just switched from Widcomm to Bluesoleil on my PC cause A2DP didn't work, but now I have that problem...
With Widcomm it worked fine - all the files went to the "My Documents" folder...

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

Quickest Way to Wirelessly Transfer Files to my PPC from my Desktop?

Hi all,
I'm looking for the quickest way to wirelessly transfer files to my Pocket PC from my Desktop, without using ActiveSync.
Is it via BT Explorer? I have used this before but wonder if there is another way before I buy a BT dongle for my desktop. If there is an application out there that perhaps does it over WiFi, I'd like to try that. I'm willing to pay for it if it's a decent app.
How does everyone typically transfer files without having to connect to USB and fire up ActiveSync?

i just select the file on vista, right click on mouse and select "send to -> bluetooth device"

Cool, thanks for the reply. I use XP but it looks like it has this feature as well.

Depends what you mean by quickest. If you mean just click on file and send to other device, then bluetooth is the "quickest" once you have established the partnerships. If you mean how fast the file(s) get transferred to the other device, then WiFi will do it faster, but you need to map network drives, setup sharing, permissions, firewalls, etc. You would also need a program that allows mapped network drives, like Resco. Personally, I use bluetooth all the time to transfer files to/from my phone. I use Wifi only when I need to transfer music or pictures or large files. Hope this helps.

Bluetooth file sending w. laptop not working?

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.

[Q] Initiate Bluetooth transfer FROM tablet - how?

I'd like to be sitting on a beach with a beautiful Irish redhead - ah, excuse me already wandering ... I'd like to be sitting outside and if I need something from my PC, I'd like to fire up a bluetooth app and connect and get what I want. BUT it seems that everything is initiated from the PC.
Can someone point me in the right direction (both to the beach and the solution)?
But everything

You could set up a server on your computer, and access it via your tablet with an app like ES File Manager. Are you trying to send files or receive them from your tab?

I've been trying to get ES FM to work, it starts the BT service then spends hours (if let it) trying to get the file list from the PC - they are paired, but traveling from the tablet to the PC never works, but I can reverse it and transfer from the PC to the Tablet.
I'd really like it both ways. I also have Medevils (sp) Bluetooth File Transfer, but that can't connect to the PC.
SO, it would seem I'm missing the drivers, or config on the PC.

Its impossible to access EVERYTHING on your computer. For obvious security reasons.
What i would recommend, is simply creating a folder on your Windows PC, sharing that file across your network, then using ES navigate to that networked folder. Then, if you need something that isnt in that networked folder, use VNC to access and control your PC and simply copy the file to the networked folder. Then you got what you want

The sharing isn't the problem - it's the lack of being able to connect via BT. I can via WiFi but do not want to due to where I am.

Well think about it. If I could push files from my computer to my tablet, pretty much anyone with Bluetooth can...
Wi-Fi is your only option..

I DO push files TO my tablet from my PC. But the reason no one else can is that they're paired and the tablet will/can only accept files from the PC, anything else and I'm notified and have to allow. I wait too long and the sender errors out.
I can do it with WiFi in both directions, and with BT from PC to tablet. I just can't FROM Droid to PC.
THAT is the basis of my original post.

No i understand what you are saying. I should have worded my post more clearly.
What i am trying to say is that you can only initiate a Bluetooth transfer from the device sending the file for security reasons. You cant "pull" a file for instance. But i would try to use WiFi to take control of your PC then push the file to the tablet via VNC from the tablet. So for instance, you are controlling the PC from your tablet, now you have full control as if you were sitting in front of your computer. Then to send a file from your tablet to the computer, just use Root Explorer or a similar browser app that allows sharing with bluetooth, then send the file from the tablet, use the VNC view to control your computer and accept the connection and file.

Thanks for clarifying. Now that I've thought about it, I realize that all of my BT exchanges have been a transfer from a device, they've never initiated a pull. For all the years I've used BT it's never occurred to me what was happening - in Windows a coupla clicks and " ... do you want to send a file or receive ..." yet even when you say receive, you have to move to the OTHER device to start it. hum...... being too poor to pay more attention I guess that's what happens.
As far as WiFi, I've used that in this senario, but we're staying in an RV park for awhile, and although they have good WiFi ( they should, I built it), it's too slow. I think I've simpler solution to elegant idea, the LAN Shares plug-in with Total Commander allows back and forth transfers, just tunnel inside a VPN.
Thank you again for clarifying - I could have died trying trying to get this to work.
