Bluetooth OBEX PUSH - Change default location

Hello,
I have a MDA Wizard and have been trying to change the default location of the files transferred to the storage card with no success. I changed the BaseDir value in the registry, but it does not work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

yea me too, im looking for a solution. changed BaseDir and even change the My Documents path to Storage Card. Nothing so far. anyone know?

New location for files received by bluetooth
I came accross this program in this forum somewhere. Really good. Give it a try.
Just run the cab file and soft reset. After that, run the program whenever you want to switch bluetooth on and it puts a bluetooth icon on the system tray. double click icon and go to settings and set the dir where you want to receive the file and you're ready to go.
I've tried getting a really big file too just to see if this merely moves the file to the other location after receiving or actually changes the location of incoming files and found out it changes the location.
Let me know if this works for you.

Partial Success...
This is an old thread but I think is directly related to what I'm trying to do. I've seen many other threads trying to solve the same problem, so I won't create a new one. Anyway, first, here is the info:
AT&T 8525
HERM: 100
ROM: 3.62.502.3 (Offical AT&T)
Results:
Successfully transfered 2 test files from my laptop (XP SP2 Tosiba Bluetooth 4.00.22D) directly to my storage card:
AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe - 21,822,168 bytes
Tears of a Dragon.mp4 - 8,572,344 bytes
How:
Added a STRING value BaseDir to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\{000...} set to: "/Storage Card/"
Problem / Temporary Solution:
Using Resco I can see the file in the Storage Card as soon as the beam is over, however the OBEX prompts you if you want to save the file or not. If you click NO the file gets deleted. If you click YES, the file gets moved after two seconds to \My Documents or some files just go nowhere(?). So before I actually answer the prompt, I just copy the file elsewhere on my card and then click NO on the prompt.
Analysis / Conclusions (so far):
1. The official AT&T ROM does not have OBEX FTP service installed (obexfile.dll). It only has the OBEX Default Inbox service (obexinbx.dll).
2. The obexinbx.dll is not behaving as expected. Ex: Why "/Storage Card/" vs. "\Storage card\"; Adding the DWORD value DisableUI does not eliminate the prompts as it should; If I delete the TransportAuntheticate value in the same key, it just reappears, yet the dll is not supposed to use that value as per MSDN2.
Could somebody try to duplicate my results and/or see if there is a way to disable the prompts? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried this? Please?
Here are some screenshots to better explain what is happening:
1. Add BaseDir value to the OBEX key.
2. Send test file from my laptop.
3. PPC displays 1st UI prompt (recfileprompt.jpg)
4. Laptop displays progress indicator for file transfer. (progress.jpg)
5. When transfer is complete, PPC display 2nd UI prompt. (uiprompt.jpg)
6. I can confirm the test file did transfer to the SD card (fileinssdcard.jpg)
7. If I click on YES the file disappears (but some files get moved to \My Documents). If I Click NO the file disappears.
So... Is there a way to get rid of these prompts? Or to make them not move or delete the file once is in the SD Card?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, the contents of my HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\ are the folders Services and Transport. There is no {0000-0000...} folder there. It exists though in the folder Services, so for my device, it is HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\SERVICES\{0000...}. After adding the key, the temporary storage for the received file is ideed SD Card so I can grab it before responding to the prompt.
Nevertheless, either if I respond YES or NO for the file save prompt, the file is deleted from SD Card and does not reappear anywhere on the device, so it does not get moved, but deleted.
Notes:
For me it does not matter weather I write "/Storage Card/" or "\Storage Card\", it still receives to Storage Card, but regardless of what I choose, YES or NO, it deletes the file.

Exactly. This is the best I could get it to work, by just copying or moving the file to another SD Card location (or renaming it) before responding to the prompt. Anyway, this is kind of an old post. I had orginally done this since Dr. Yar crashed on my phone. Since then, I discovered HTC Bluetooth FTP Explorer 1.2, which adds an FTP tab to your Bluetooth Connections settings, where you can specify the default location for incoming bluetooth files.
Thanks for trying it out though!
PS,
I was trying to upload HTC Bluetooth cab, but there is a problem with the database. Anyway, I got it from VP3G's AddOn pack in the Hermes forum. A quick search should find it for you.

I don't know whether you are referring to this (which is inside my rom), but look at my settings. Even with these, Bluetooth still receives to Device and saves to Device\My Documents.

Yes. That's it. It works fine for me. Is your SD Card name "Storage Card"? I would also try using the browse button and selecting different folders inside the SD Card.

Just tried. Same thing!

Well. That is strange. I don't have a Trinity. I have a Hermes. What I would do at this point, is first, try installing the BT FTP cab over your existing one (backup first!). If that doesn't work, try removing/re-inserting the SD Card and also if possible another SD Card. Could there be a write access-protect restriction on your card that forces the OS to use the default My Documents location?
Anyway I have to go back now to my other life , but if I think of something else I'll let you know. Sorry you have problems

OBEX vs FTP
That bluetooth setting is only for FTP transfers. OBEX is the "native" transfer protocol that phones et al. use. Changing the setting for FTP received files doesn't alter the OBEX ones!
I'm going to try Dr Yar, but would love to find a registry setting for this!

I've just found this one as a cure, about to try it..

Dumb migration questions

I just upgraded from a Nexus One to the G2x, and I have a few dumb questions about the transition.
1. I've had the phone on for a couple of hours now. I don't think any of my Market applications have installed, although most/all (haven't checked in detail) of my paid applications are listed in Market as "purchased." Should I be concerned? Will they auto-install, and if so, how long is that likely to take? Any way to speed it up?
2. Is there any way to port over my SMS history from the Nexus One?
3. Is there any way to make wifi-calling "sticky?" It doesn't seem to turn on automatically when I power-cycle the phone, and I didn't find a setting that would make it auto-start.
4. This one is just curiosity, but I noticed that when I power on the phone, immediately after it registers on the network, the provider is listed as "T-Mobile," but after a few seconds it changes to "T - Mobile" with spaces around the "-". Does that mean anything?

I use an app called SMS Backup and Restore. From the n1, i did a backup, then copied the XML file it created to my new SD card. Went into the program and changed the folder path (since the internal memory has its own SD card) then added /_ExternalSD/ to path and restored the XML to keep all my texts from my N1
Also, your purchased apps are linked to your Google account. they wont auto download, but they should be listed in the market for reinstall.

But I have to individually download all the free apps? Oh, well, I know what I'll be doing with my [previously] free time tonight...
Thanks again for the help.

Google Maps - GPS - Caching for local use

Is there a surefire way to download maps so the transformer does not need to be wifi/tethered to run this as a stand alone GPS?
I ran across this, anyone used it?
Brut Google Maps 4.6.0.4686-brut17

Not tried that one you mention but this one works great.

Cheers. Just tried that and found it very good. Even has a map with local bus route overlays.

I couldn't find a way to tell it to download the maps in full only small squares.

I had downloaded it on my droid x and it worked great. But it won't download maps to the transformer... My apologies.

Another way..

Hi, You dont say if you have an android phone, BUT if you had a rooted HTC Desire. (am sure it would work with any other htc that has car panel). (my sig says the one im using).
You could do the following;
Either Download a free app from the android market called "OntheflyBackup" run the app and you will now have the "Navigation app" and the "CarHomeLauncher app" and backups of all your other programs so its a win win situation. Or if your winrar savvie just extract the files from a Rom.
Now;
1, Run "Carpanel" app on the phone.
2 Select Get More, and download the maps you want (wifi enabled for speed)
3, Open the sd card either through data link or removing the card from the phone. Look in the folder ".data" you will see a folder "navigator"
4, Now copy this folder to a new ".data" folder on the "Internal" Sd card you acn see in the file explorer on the transformer. It must be in this one and Not the external Sd card.
5, Copy the "Navigation app" and the "CarHomeLauncher app" to downloads or any other folder on the card. placed in the Transformer.
6, On the Transformer, install the two apps and then run "Navigation". The car panel Wont look the same as on the phone It dosnt have the get more button, But will allow you to Navigate to anywhere on the maps you have selected.
Ive tried this from the UK to a area in Germany and it worked for me.

Thanks,
Unfortunately I have symbian phone - hope to get an android phone soon, but just don't use anything but email and calender as far as a "smart phone". And right now I have 15/month unlimited data plan. If I switch to a "smart phone" then ATT will hit me for large data plan.

Oruxmaps enables you to view online maps from many sources including Google Maps.
It will also let you define a location and surrounding area and it will then cache all the Google Maps tiles (or any other service's tiles) to your SD card. You can even define several zoom levels to store for each area.
It does a lot more than just that and is free on the market.

Trying to mess with Sygic to root or not to root

OK I started this thought in a thread regarding someones question with gps apps on android. I eventually got into trying to figure out how to get Sygic maps onto the SD card and not the internal storage.
In the Aura folder (since it's Sygic Aura) there are 3 folders (Android, Maps, and Res) Android I'm assuming contains app files, Maps containing well... maps, and res containing all the graphics for the app (voices, sounds etc) there are also 2 other files in the main Aura folder "base-is-ok.txt" which is a completely empty text file, and database.xml.
This database.xml is where I have been messing with the settings for where the app looks for it's files.
It's normal string is "Arua/Android/ or "Arua/Maps/
I tried setting this to either extStorage/SdCard/Aura and I also tried /mnt/sdcard2/Aura
Neither of these worked.
I was hoping a dev (since I am very new to the Android OS) would point me in the direction of the location of the sdcard as seen by android and whether or not I need to root my Tab plus to achieve what I am currently thinking about.
I did just find a settings file that points to locations such as MapPath=/.../Maps so I might continue messing with that.

same question
Hello,
I try to do the same thing without result,anybody can help ?
There must be something because when I put files on sd card everything work, when there is no file I got the sygic downloader and when I mess with the xml file, sygic open up then close
Thanks
