[Q] Use same bluetooth dongle by different windows user accounts - General Questions and Answers

I pair with a mobile device under one user account and I am able to transfer files.
I change user account and I can NO longer transfer files to device, unless I set up the pairing in this account. But if I do that then, I am not able to transfer files in the first account...
Obviously In the mobile device I cannot set up my pc twice, the pc name is what the dongle broadcasts...
Any advice?
Thanks

SYNCHRONISATION

How do I sync MANUALLY. I want to take a file from a PC to my XDA.
However, an XDA II is set up on the same PC and I want to only use this temporarily.
How can I copy just one file across without ruining the other person's synchronised files?
Thanks.
just connect as guest and then copy the file over in File explorer on the PC
Mobile device just be listed there as a "hard drive"
How do I connect as a guest?
Also, when I try to connect, I get the "Connecting" box which doesn't actually connect (see attached picture).
it should give you a popup asking if you want to make a patnership or
connect as guest
if it's windows 9X or ME it could act up though
and make sure you are using the latest version of activesync

Removing a partnership

My phone has synced with 2 different PCs. How do I remove one of the PCs settings from the mobile device?
not sure if you can do it through the pda....but i think it's much easier to remove the sync partnership through the pc. simply go to your activesync app and delete the partnership there.
but if you're using bluetooth activesync, simply go to the bt app in your pda and delete the connection from there.
Via the PC you can only delete the partnership for that PC.
I wanted to remove a partnership from the phone for a PC I don't sync to anymore.

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.

blue tooth and mac

how can i sync and transfer to and fro my tp2 and mac book pro?
thanks guys
If you have snow leopard, its supposed to have activesync.
If you're still on an older OS, there is a ($40) program called missing sync.
What I did is went the totally free route and bounced contacts through google. First enable addressbook to sync to google, then have phone sync to google. I've only tried it with contacts, its supposed to be able to do email and calendar from google to phone as well.
OBEX push also works from my hackintosh to the phone, but not in reverse for files.
The sync app in sl doesn't work. Already tried. Nothing on mac works. I want to transfer files etc from tp2 to mac and nothing works.
Did you try the file transfer setting in the Bluetooth settings?
On the phone? I probably did but right now not sure exactly what you mean. Sorry.
Go to Bluetooth settings, expand on Advanced (+ arrow), click on File Transfer, choose a location to receive files. Set your phone to discoverable.
On Mac, click on Bluetooth icon in menu bar (usually top right), click on Browse Device, choose your phone from list, click ok.
On phone you'll be prompted to pair with Mac and enter a 4 digit passcode of your choice, do that. Mac will prompt for same passcode, enter same 4 digit passcode. Accept all communications from Mac on phone.
Now, on Mac, the Bluetooth File Exchange utility will display the contents of whatever folder (or memory card) you chose as your save folder. Drag and drop files to it or from it and that's it.
I might update later with screenshots when i have time.
I already paired and entered the code thingy. But did not know anything about a utility in the mac blue tooth menu. I only tried the transfer on phone and nothing happened on mac or the phone could not see mac to transfer. The active sync or whatever it is on the mac sees the phone but says it can't sync with it. So I'll look in the bluetooth menu. F it works this is cool.
How fast would it transfer music from my MacBook pro to the phone?
Thanks alot for telling me about the utility in the Bluetooth menu on mac.
While I don't own a Mac, I know my brother in law has had success with bluetooth for transfering files between my Vogue and his mac as well as the use of it for a personal area network.
Have you tried using the use as drive option when you connect it by usb? this (I would think as it just acts as a uSB key) should work as long as you have a memory card in your phone. It won't "sync" though.

[Q] Getting Internet on Windows Mobile 6.1 via Bluetooth, the PC OS is Windows 7

Hi, I have been struggling for days, to try to get internet on my Smartphone via Bluetooth on my Desktop PC, is Data is massivly Expensive in this country. Whenever I go to Connetions > add new connection for Bluetooth, and I add a new Device, I see my Desktop PC there. However when I see the services, all I see is Activesync, I select that, push save, and it just goes back to add a new device again. I also tried, to connect via the Bluetooth PAN Device, on my PC, and I choose connect using access point, it gives me an error. "The connection with the Bluetooth Device failed. The device may be already connected to another computer, or it may be need to be configured to accept connections from this computer. Consult your device documentation for further information.
Please can someone help me?
