whenever i try to send some file from my other bluetooth devices like nokia 8861, nokia 6630, my laptop etc it always fails....does someone know the reason why?
How are you trying to send a file? Bluetooth transfer works fine for me from my laptop. I connected via bluetooth, moved the file I wanted to transfer to my Bluetooth Exchange Folder on my laptop, and used the Bluetooth Explorer on the phone to see it. Then I just copied and pasted into a My Documents folder on the phone and it transferred fine. Laptop did ask me if I wanted to allow File Transfer Protocol to the phone. I suppose you could also ActiveSync with Bluetooth, click Explore Device and drag and drop files. Ill try to send a file with my dads 8525 and see what happens.
-edit- I was able to send files between the TyTn II and the 8525 no problem.
i am still not able to transfer data from nokia mobile to my tytn ii.... is there some way to find som debug info...al i can see is the error..."sending failed"

It is NOT a bug. Go to your bluetooth settings. Go to the FTP tab and make sure that Enable File Sharing is checked. Then you will be able to recieve files via bluetooth.
thanks a lot man....now its working....i thought that function is for sharing the files but not file transfer.
I have your problem too.
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.
Hi! I'm running Valhala 1.1, so not sure if this is a problem with that, or with Windows 7, or what, but I paired my phone with my computer, but cannot seem to transfer files from my phone. When I try to send a picture through the gallery, for example, it fails and says "remote device rejected your request". Also, in Windows 7, when using the bluetooth device control thing, I can browse the phone, but only folders show up. NO files, just folders. Any ideas? I can stream music fine, just can't seem to do any file transfers.
I also had a problem like this when trying to send a song to my friend's Blackberry 8520. Im running Valhalla 1.3.2, any solution?
So I'm having a strange and annoying problem with my sgs3, I'm running windows xp, and when I connect my phone it shows up in 'my computer' as SCH-I535. The problem is, when I open that folder.. it is empty (shows no directories at all) when I'm connected as media device. However, if I switch from media device to camera and back to media device, I am then able to see the directories.. This is extremely annoying to have to do this every time I connect my phone in order to transfer files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers twice, with reboots and all.. Still doing the same thing. If anyone could help me figure this out, It'd be MUCH appreciated.
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.
