please help me send file via bluetooth on mango
RE:
You can't send files via Bluetooth on a WP7 device no matter the manufacturer.
this is such a small feature present in mobile phones for almost a decade, why do you guys think it's such a problem to implement it in modern OSs?
I'm pretty sure it's not a "problem" so much as MS didn't see it as being worth doing. On other phones, bluetooth file transfer is a work-around for not having Internet access. Since WP7 has Internet access, I guess they decided that the benefit of BT file transfer wouldn't be worth the development cost of implementing it.
That said, you're not the only one who wants this feature - if nothing else, it would be a handy way to have a WP7 device communicate with a "feature-phone" that can't get email or browse the web.

So how do I transfer a large (100MB) video to my friend's phone via "internet access" on WP7? This is typically the the most common situation BT file transfer is useful for.
Genuine question; please let me know step by step.

Go to camera; choose menu->Share.. , select SkyDrive. But it takes time of course...
Alternatively, sync it to your PC, upload to YouTube or similar, and send them a link.
Or just put it on a flashdrive (after syncing), hand it to them, and have them sync it to their phone.
Awkward any way you go about it, agreed. Most of WP7's sharing features aren't intended for files that big (email, MMS, etc.). The funny thing is that Zune (hardware) actually has the built-in ability to send such files via WiFi, but it seems that WP7 doesn't.
I believe you can go to windows phone seven via Bluetooth file transfer and select download.
Edit: you can't do it.
The truth is simple - IT SHOULD BE implemented by Microsoft. It's not necessary to follow the "Book Of Apple" so close and straight. It doesn't cost anything to Microsoft to release it as a patch or a minor update, and yet they are not doing it yet... i hope they will listen (lately it was one of the most requested feature on their User opinion and requests site) to us.
It's all about a OBEX push driver and a access to the isolated storage. It's THAT simple. Same goes for the iDevices, but their simple stubbornness is so known for years now.
So i think, MS should differentiate strongly, from them.

Hello,
is there a possibility to exchange some files between my Orbit 2 and my Macbook (OS X 10.4)? I tried to use a computer-to-computer network but couldn't get it working. So can anyone help me please? Unfortunately I'm new to Apple and Windows Mobile. So please be very precise when you describe what I have to do (think about a DAU² ).
Ah yes: I don't want to synchronise anything (like adresses or so), just wanna exchange some music/videoclips via wifi (hope this is faster than bluetooth where I only get ~100kb/s). Thank you very much!
Hi, I have just started to use SyncMate which is free to sync my iTunes music library on my Mac with my TyTN II. It works really well but I have been using a USB rather than WiFi connection. The program does support WiFi though.
You can download the software from
http://blog.eltima.com/2008/01/sync-your-mac-and-a-smartphone-with-syncmate.html
Although this is sync software it should also be able to do what you want as you can Sync a folder on your Mac with a folder on your phone which will enable you to transfer files to and fro.
Good luck and be interested to hear if the WiFi sync works!
if boths were connected to the wifi router it would be a matter of setting up normal filesharing like between 2 computers
if otherwise one would have to do it as adhoc network
but i dont know how these things are handled on macs
on pc's it the pc sharing would have to be running the server service
and have the pda as a user with reading and writing rights
And BT ? or MissingSync
I have an old iMac and I made some ringtones. I sent them by BT with no problem. I dropped Syncmate cause I got some issues with the calendars and the contacts. MissingSync is perfect but not free. You can install whatever but you need a cable. Will try to check the WiFi
Yes, with bluetooth I managed to send some files. But speed was not that fantastic (~100kb/s). So I'll try to get it working with Wifi. Maybe speed there is better. I got my device recognized by the Macbook and an IP was sent to my phone but I don't know how to access to files. Unfortunately I have no time for the next two weeks to test it any further. Please post your efforts if you have success. Thanks!
So, I already got what I want (even better). I found the freeware MochaSoft FTP-Server. This software has to be installed on your PDA. It youses the FTP-Protokoll. Therefore it lets your PDA act as an FTP-Server. All you need then is an Internet Browser, which has an FTP-Client (for example Internet Explorer or you use the fireftp-extension for Firefox). Now you can access your PDA and exchange files via Wifi. Speed is much better than Bluetooth (~700kb/s read and 680kb/s write). The good thing is, that you aren't limited to the platform anymore. (I don't know if the standard Linux browser has an ftp-client, but my beloved Firefox has a Linux-Version too.)
P.S. @linux-users: Please don't kill me for my last sentence. I believe that linux is able to handle these things out of the box. It's more for us windows users to know that it's possible.
Hi Guys, and pleas bare with me since i'm new to WM phones, i've always been a Nokia Symbian and Sony Ericsson user.
I got the HTC Touch Pro (I'll call it it TP for short) and i have a buncha questions that I'd appreciate if you guys would help me with.
1) When receiving an MMS message, why does the picture appear as a small icon instead of the full picture, i would have to click it to view it. IS there a way to automatically view the picture/video as soon as i open an MMS message?
2) Do WM phones have shady/crippled Bluetooth? i have used the TP, Omnia, imate Jam, imate Jammin and they all have funky blue tooth when transferring pictures to PC. I used multiple Bluetooth USB dongles on my PC and same problem, the device searches for the Pc, then i get a "Device Found" message forever, for like 5-10 minutes(literally) then it changes my PC name(if i'm lucky, that's like 1 times out of 10) ....so eventually i tap the PC name transfer the picture and *most* of the time the trasfer/process failed! I've used Jabra and Belkin BT USB dingles
3) When taking pictures, i know you could email them and MMS them, but why no Bluetooth option? why can't i do it right away from the camera utility/gallery? it's so inconvenient......i have to go to "Pictures" and Videos" application to bluetooth the pictures/videos....and the worst part is that i can only transfer 1 file at a time!
4) when sending files from PC to TP (which works perfectly fine btw), where does the file end up? where in file explorer? and is there an easier way to locate it?
5) when recording video, which is better MPE4 or H.264? i'm guessing H.264? ....i can't tell since the files won't transfer over BT! yes and both BT are on on both devices and discoverable.
6) Where can i get theme's for the HTC TP?
7) any recommended programs? i'm looking for media and games....i'm not interested in business application.....oops, one more thing, does Blackberry work with the HTC TP?
sorry for the too many question, but im a WM convert and new to the OS and need the help to answer my questions, i appreciate you're help guys!
thanks!
marwan,
I will try my best!
You are asking very hard and perhaps impossible to answer questions, but I will try my best to answer them for you!

I dont use MMS, but "why" I think would be better to ask microsoft!
However I think there are many other programs to choose from if you dont like the standard one in WM 6.1! Maybe someone here can give you some alternatives?

I dont have any problems with bluetooth transfers, have you tried using "Resco explorer"? Or maybe you should check if your PC is at fault?

"Why" ask microsoft again!
But you should try Resco explorer, there is a option so you can transfer/manage several files at once!

If you mean sending files via bluetooth then it should end up under \my device\My documents. However that can be changed, if you go to settings/connections/Bluetooth/FTP you will be able to set another default folder! (SD card recommended!)

I am not sure about this one, but I have found that H.264 does not play in all devices!

There are so many programs to choose from, but for media I would recomend either TCPMP (Free) or Coreplayer (Comercial)! A good way to find programs is to look at handandgo´s website!
How do you mean does it work with TP?
[/QUOTE]
I hope this helps you a bit, and welcome to WM´s world, I think you will find that once you learn what this is all about you would never want to go back to Symbian again!
I don't know if you'll get your questions 100% answered, but friend, it sounds like you picked up the wrong phone for you. I myself have come from a long line of Nokia's and their S40 and S60 OS's but I'm glad to say that I love my TP and all it's little qwerks, don't really think that you can get everything to work like everything else. Each OS is a little different. Kind of like saying, "Can anyone help me? I want to be able to right click in MAC OS Tiger!" it's just never going to happen [and I know you can ctrl+click to get another set of options, but you know what I mean]
This is not specific to the Charge, but hopefully I'll get some response here.
What is the easiest way to wirelessly transfer files between Android & iOS devices? I've read some options with using bluetooth or FTP. I want something simple anyone could do. I haven't tried it yet, but Hoccer looks like the easiest option I've seen.
I want to transfer large files without wires or existing wifi network. I don't have wifi at home, and don't always want to use a laptop to move files through. I'm looking for something that is point to point. I don't think all iPod's (touch) have bluetooth, so that is somewhat limiting.
Something like Dropbox is a big waste of time and bandwidth in my case.
Also, anything better for android to android file transfer?
As the title states, just curious if there is a way to make wi-fi direct work between phone and PC or vice-versa. I know there are wi-fi file explorers, but for s single file or picture is there anything for that?
Im pretty sure your phone comes with an app pre-installed for this, but i use airdroid

WiFi direct is only for Samsung devices to other select Samsung devices. It doesn't work with my older Samsung TV, but does work with my friend's brand new Samsung TV. AFAIK, it does not work to connect to a PC.
The other on-device options suck out loud (Kies Air, AllShare Play, etc.). They all require additional software to be loaded on the PC and some are dependent on Samsung's server piece to be operational, which goes down like a $5 ***** faced with a stack of hundreds.
If you want to just 'see' the picture or movie on a PC / Laptop / TV, Settings > More Settings > Nearby Devices is tolerable. It's basically DLNA for the phone. ONLY ALLOW the devices on your LAN that you want to share media to. If you choose Allow All and forget to turn it off, it will share it publicly if you connect to WiFi at McDonald's, Starbucks, Library, etc. PCs show up as Windows-Media-Player, and other devices will be SamsungWiselinkPro or SamsungSmarTV, etc.
I'd recommend to use either Airdroid or WiFi File Explorer and save yourself a LOT of headaches to transfer the files to a PC.

Yeah I have had Wifi File Explorer Pro for a good two years and love it, I was just wondering if there was a better option. Based on the responses above I think I will just stick with what I've got!
If you want to transfer files, Kies Air is actually one of the best choices. It's definitely underrated, probably because of the complicated install process, but once you get the hang of it, it's a very streamlined process.
Most file manager apps support Windows shares, so you can transfer stuff that way too. I use AirDroid though mostly. Heck, you can get an FTP app on your Droid and FTP into it from Windows if you like, make sure you change your IP address in Wifi advanced settings to the one you want to use all the time, and map a network drive in Windows to your phone.
why not an FTP server?
search for the "ftp server" from developer "the olive tree" first of all it's super secure since you can add username and password to it (from the settings) so it's safe even at public wifi hotspots and second It's got 4+ stars! COMMON! lol and the 3rd and the best part (I know you were waiting for this ) It's free
you can copy to/from your phone to/from your computer! just open the app and click on the red power button when it turns green you're good to go it gives you an address you need to type that in your explorer (my documents or my computer would be perfect) and your phone's content is there just be careful not to delete anything you don't know
use at your own risk LMAO and I'm not paid to promote it
Air droid is good, but theres a monthly limit. For small amounts of data (I think it's 100MB per month) it's perfect.

Hey,
I need a program to sync my movies folder via usb. I tried microsoft sync toy but it doesnt work with the tablet. Dropbox is no option and I think the Asus sync program doesnt have the ability.
the best one for over the air (not usb) is foldersync...building your own dropbox
it´s on the market

Mr.Lee
Have you tried Dirsync?
http://www.dirsyncpro.org/download.html
Since neither FolderSync (which is great over WiFi) nor DirSync support MTP as far as I can see, your options are down to... errrrr... none. I do heartily recommend WiFi-based syncs with FolderSync though, and Titanium Media Sync may do the job as well (although I cannot recall if that provides sync over MTP connections as well).
I will try that but I am not happy. I fly frequently so I often push 10Gb and more up. That takes ages via Wifi.
Is there a know program to wirelesly sync contacts and agenda?
I did a search and this is the best I came up with :s
Cause the asus sync kinda sucks imo. You need to klick it at the tablet then pick dates on the computer and then hit sync? There is no way to do it automatically? HTC and Samsung do a WAY better job, but don't have such tablets :s

Oh, yeah, with that kind of transfer volume you can at least shower, have dinner and have a nap in between (and after dinner as well, quite possibly). Isn't a card reader the best option then? (And maybe an extra card so you can transfer content to one card and have the next one pumped full in the meantime?). Do you have the dock as well? That would double your transfer rate, since you could use both cards to transfer at the same time in either a multiformat reader or several card readers used simultaneously.
I'm sorry if I am pursuing a lost cause, but I'm just trying to think with you here.
Netgear recently released a gigabit router so the speed to transfer over wifi will be a lot quicker.
Though yes, i do agree (or at least i can't find a solution myself), surely there must be an easier way to push large files from PC to the tablet.
I inserted the SD Card, however the copying function keeps on crashing for (for numerous small files in many folders)
There must be some software out there that supports MTP! Totally frustrating. I use goodsync to sync to my PC/ phone/ NAS but i can't sync anything to the tablet!

What is the recommended way to sync back to your computer if you are using FolderSync? ie. SMB/ FTP/ SFTP etc? I have Windows7.
I dont quite understand your comment re: sync over MTP. Is FolderSync not providing that intermediary between the tablet and the PC? (ie. essentially synching over Wifi to MTP?)
Just want to push this topic!
I couldnt get Folder Sync to work. There are so many options available and it seems you need additional software installed on the computer. There are no manuals available Sync over Dropbox etc. is no option because of their file size limitations. Im using Isyncr now for my music files. Works awesome.
I still have to do the movies, etc. by hand
