So, I noticed that my Bluetooth no longer works on my Focus.
I have it interloped unlocked and running OS version 7.10.8862.144
I was trying a Bluetooth file transfer program, and it no longer enables. If I toggle it, my phone thinks it's on, but the status bar icon never shows up. It can't see other bluetooth devices and they can't see it.
My guess is that the file transfer program screwed up some settings.
Anyone willing to look for the settings I should have in the registry and possibly the driver names?
What is your Bluetooth file transfer program?
I removed it after it didn't work. The suppose bigger issue is that I tried a few programs, and I don't remember the names.
The ones I remember are as fallows : BT Transfer, DFT BT File Transfer, and Nokia Bluetooth Share.
DFT BT File Transfer for Full Unlock.
Nokia Bluetooth Share must have Nokia drivers on your phone.
Ok, but my issue is that Bluetooth no longer works at all.

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.

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.
I'm sure there is a simple answer to this, but I haven't been able to find it.
I am trying to transfer a ringtone via Bluetooth from my Krzr to my new Fuze, and I can't get it to work. The devices pair without any problem, but when I try to send the ringtone, I get a failed message. This is not a copy-protected ringtone - it's just a music file I created. Is there some trick to this? There are work-arounds (transfer the file to the computer and then to the Fuze), but it is annoying and seems like it should be easy to do.
Did you turn on the Beam function on the Fuze? It's in the Comm Manager.

I did. It didn't help.
Strangely, I can send files from the Fuze to the Krzr without a problem. But the Krzr can't send anything in reverse.
I haven't tried a phone to phone transfer yet, so not sure what else to advise. I know it works from computer to phone using bluetooth.
from my experience the bluetooth on this phone is absolutely terrible. itll connect just fine to my headset. but, i cannot for the life of me sync it up with my phone. bluetooth tethering is near impossible with all 3 of my bluetooth enabled laptops, as well as bluetooth activesync.
Go under Bluetooth settings under Comm Manager go to FTP Enable File Sharing and then go to security and turn off Authentication (Passkey) Required. You can keep Authentication on with another smart phone but when I wanted to send files from my LG non smart phone I had to turn it off.
I tried all the suggestions above, but with no luck. It's not the end of the world - the Bluetooth works with my headset, transferring files to/from the computer, and for tethering. It's more annoying than anything else, because there's no reason it shouldn't work.
So I picked up an external GPS receiver off ebay. It's the Globalsat BT-359C (http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-214-bt-359c.aspx). Turned it on, everything went fine as far as my fuze finding it. I'd goto add new device, it'd pull up "BT-GPS371D88", i'd select it, put it the four "0" 's, and it'd give me the message "your pocketpc is now connected with BT-GPS371D88". It comes up in the list but under disconnected. So i'm like eh whatever, and setup the outgoing com port to COM0 as per the instructions, and make sure its unsecure.
I go back to devices, highlight BT-GPS371D88, click it. Check off "Serial Port" in select services to use, and save. Then heres where everything goes wrong, I hit connect, and it gives me the following message "Your device did not connect with BT-GPS371D88. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect." I've been tinkering with it all day, searching various forums to no avail. Even downgraded my 6.5 rom to 6.1 thinking it was maybe incompatible with something so new.
Now i'm stuck, I really want to get it working so i can use it for a trip thats coming up in a few days. Has anyone else had such a problem? is there like a quick fix that i'm over looking, or is it simply not compatible with the fuze? I managed to get it paired up and connected fine to my blackberry curve just to see if the gps unit was defective (did buy it off ebay). Any Ideas guys? Not sure where else to turn now.
Oh yeah btw my current rom that i'm using is
At0mAng Fusion Power V 5.X ROM Series
Windows Mobile 6.1 (Build 21051 1.6.4)

have a BT GPS for my Dell axim x51v, got some trouble too getting it to connect, but eventually did
here are some pointers:
1) Delete all pairings and com port pairings on the device
2) Pair the device (make sure that you put 'request authorization' or something... this ensures that you need to put the 0000 code to connect)
3) you need to set up at outgoing port on your device, to the BT GPS... COM 8 is norm
4) External GPS setting in the Start>Settings tab
hardware port is where you put the outgoing port in (3)
software port is where you put for your GPS software... COM4 is norm
third column where WinMo will manage GPS, say yes
This worked for me:
I have a Hermes (WM6.5) with a holoux bluetooth GPS, but the GPS was not connecting for me properly either. It seems to be a problem with the way WM6.1 pairs with bluetooth devices.
I managed to get mine to work without reflashing by downloading this alternative bluetooth manager:

Hope this helps.
Not trying to bump up an old thread for no reason, but I figured this info would be helpful for people utilizing searches.
After lots of research and frustration the past week I have gotten my external GPS (USGlobalSat BT-368i) to work with my HTC Fuze! Below are the steps I followed that have worked for me. Note that I still have the phone configured to use the internal GPS if the program is set to "Let windows manage GPS settings".
1. Pair the device using Bluetooth.
2. Under the devices tab select your external gps device, and check the box to use "Serial Port". Then choose Save.
2. Under the Bluetooth settings choose "COM Ports" tab.
3. Choose "New Outgoing Port", and then select your device and click next. Choose your port and preferred "secure" option. Then click Finish. (I have configured mine to use COM0 & Secure Connection)
The device will still show as "Disconnected", and you will not be able to connect it under the Bluetooth manager. It will give you an error saying unable to connect.
To use the external GPS device you can simply select the outgoing port you configured above in your program, and most likely you will use a baud rate of 4800. Once you enable the GPS in the program it should connect itself via Bluetooth to your device and begin using it.
You should also be able to configure it to automatically use your external GPS instead of the internal one under the "External GPS" settings, but my current ROM has the hardware portion of External GPS manager broken @ the moment. Therefore I have not configured this, and cannot confirm it.
Hope this helps someone!
Hi all,
I have searched and searched the forum and the internet but can find no answer to this issue.
I'm using an HTC Touch Dual (Neon 200) that I had set up to connect to my PC via bluetooth for Activesync.
No problems there, it all worked fine. The issue comes with my attempts to automate the synchronization. I had found and successfully used a program called CT Scheduler to start the bluetooth radio and then instigate the "Windows/repllog.exe" file to start a bluetooth activesync.
In Activesync, on the Touch, I go to "Menu-->Connections--->when cradled, synchronize all pc's using.........."
I had the option to select "`USB" or "`DIRECTORSOFFICE" (the name of my PC).
Now, I have no idea how the "`DIRECTORSOFFICE" option got there but I selected it and it all worked fine. I could connect via USB or Bluetooth and the auto-sync worked fine.
BUT, Here's the kicker, after a hard reset, I've restablished all my connections via bluetooth etc. and can manually initiate a sync via bluetooth. HOWEVER in the Activesync connections I can no longer select aything other than "`USB". For the life of me I cannot remember how I got the Touch to give me that other option and it is the ONLY thing preventing the auto bluetooth sync from working.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Hi and welcome to XDA,
did you do a H-Reset or a new rom flash? the new rom may not support BT Activesync, you should also pair your phone to your PC, that may enable the option
Eh - my bad...should have specified in my OP. This is running stock WinMo 6.1 Professional.
Did you pair to your PC?
Not this time around.....dammit you know that sounds like it might be it! I'll have to a backup, hard reset and try it out.
If that's truly the case and I can get that option available again then I have a really tidy solution for people wanting to Autosync via Bluetooth.
(Although this is probably not an issue nowadays as most phones are coming with WiFi, so I guess people are syncing that way)

OK, got too excited there. Of course I must have paired it with the PC or I wouldn't have been able to Activesync via BT manually right?

Depends what stack you have
Sorry, i don't think i can help
If i find anything, i'll let you know
Default MS BT stack for WinMo Pro 6.1. I haven't changed anything on this ROM at all.
I must have done something during BT setup that allowed that option to appear but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was!
It's not a huge deal as I luckily had a backup with that configuration working, I was just being a bit anal about doing a complete clean install, there were a few programs I wanted to get rid of and felt my phone had slowed up a bit.
Cheers.
I read some articles, thay said mango will bring bluetooth pictures and music file transfers (phone to phone). But now I have Mango and can't see any file transfer options. Am I doing someting wrong, or there is just no option for this?
At the other hand, is there any application who is able to BT file transfer? Is realy that hard to write such as applicatin?
Remember that the version of mango we have is not feature-complete.
I doubt that this is something we'll see built in to the OS itself.. but if they made it available in the API, someone can write an app that will do it.
Unless you're within 30 feet of the person you're trying to send the picture to, it wouldn't have much of a practical use when the device can sync wirelessly with a computer over a wifi network, which is much faster than bluetooth to begin with.
BT is usable spacialy in environments where computer and wireless is unavailable ag. partyes, hollyday atc... So I ment BT transfer phone to phone, not phone to PC.
