Bluetooth transfer - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello.
Is the bluetooth on my hero able to transfer files too? because i tryed pairing it with computers and other phones and it doesn't transfer files. it says file transfer service not found on htc hero device.
Is this bluetooth like the iphone's, only for headsets?
thanks.
And something else, i downloaded a *.jpg picture and won't open it. it says this file type is not supported Why?
Million thanks.

1) yes it is (at the moment anyway)

[Q] Bluetooth File Transfer errors

P500 - Other phones
Unable to send files to other phones of any type through the default stock file manager. " x File not sent" error. Bluetooth on, device discoverable, Paired but not connected.
Used ThinkOffice Free and sent files successfully to the same phones without any problem regarding file sizes or file types by using it's file manager. Bluetooth on, device discoverable, Paired but not connected.
Other Phones - P500
If said phones have FTP , they access files easily on P500 and get whatever they need. The other phones are able to send stuff too.
P500-W7 Laptop
Unable to send files from phone to laptop. Laptop can access bluetooth folder and get the files it needs or it can send whatever files it needs to send. All laptops I tried to connect with, I got the same error. "x File not sent" on the same settings.
Summary: Default file manager unable to send files to any device. ThinkOfficeFree File Manager using the same bluetooth settings manages to send files to phones, but not a Win7 Laptop.
Searched the forum for similar threads, and they suggest using an alternate file manager which is what ThinkOfficeFree file manager basically is. But for phone to laptop transfers I might try another file manager to see if it works.
My questions are :
1. Is it natural to have such problems? Even my lowly GM200 sends files without any hiccups. It's Android 2.2 after all not 1.5 >.>
2. Is using an alternate file manager the only solution ? And does it work all the time with any device, laptop or phone?
3. I see many people bugged with the issue, why isn't there a proper fix yet from the devs and manufacturers themselves?
4. Will formatting /erasing the SD card*default that came with the phone*, factory resetting the phone help the cause?

yes these problems do exist in 2.2 but custom rom works well
try using blutooth file transfer and check if it works
no use formatting your sd card
Bluetooth File Transfer works.. Although it's slow on the "searching for service" "connecting to service" front, the rest is for now going on smoothly.

Sending Files via bluetooth to win xp

Hi All,
I have one x10mp with Cyanogem CM6 miniCM6 v2.0.
I managed to connect it with my computer, but in the android, in bluetooth settings show "paired but not connected". I can send files from PC to Android without problems, but I can not sendo files from android to PC, it says that can not connect (Crazy Thing), and in PC, all was set up to accept connection. I installed the bluetooth explorer lite or any other type of application in android, but nothing, only receives.
Does anyone have any idea how I fix this? Have i install any application in PC ?
Ty a lot

From any file manager, Share > Bluetooth
or you could use Bluetooth File Transfer, avalaible on the market for free, it that case it comes with a built-in file manager and also can browse remote files. You can also do Share> Send with bluetooth with this app from any file manager.
EDIT: This should have been posted in X10 mini general as this is a DEV forum.
EDIT2: Correction not General, the Q&A forum, I just noticed it XD.
Ty for help, i will testing, and sry for post in wrong place.

I was tested, and i am not found the "share", in my windows xp, this option dont exist.
I discovered that if i use the "%windir%\system32\fsquirt.exe" in the option "receive file", i can send file from phone to PC, but is a unique file. I need to start aways i to send a file from phone to pc.
With Bluetooth File Transfer is the same, him only connect with PC and send a unique file, if the program above is started.
Ty a lot

If your saying that you are trying to access the phone like a windows network share, you need to go to bluetooth file transfer and turn on the Sharing Service (FTP).
EDIT: Forget what I said, since you are using fsquirt.exe, I assume you are using the default windows bluetooth stack. Its just simply there was no software listening for incoming transfers, hence the need to start fsquirt. Anyways, this is not a problem with the phone, in fact you should take it to a windows PC forum, as your problem has nothing to do with your phone.

[Q] HOX+ Connect to TV via USB or WiFi

Hi, Before when I had my Desire HD, connected the phone via USB to TV, and could see the contents, also appeared a message asking me if I wanted to charge only, and now with the HOX+ the TV does not recognize any device, only charge
How I can play the contents of the phone on the TV via USB?
Thanks..
Charging only, because sdcard is not mounted as usb drive anymore, we have mtp device. If you are rooted you can try viper virtual sd card app
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium App
Viper VirtualSD
Hi!
I flash Viper 1.6 on my HOX+ and try to use VirtualSD feature.
MTP is a terrible system, I try to use, but this failed a lot of times, copy large archives is impossible with MTP. And I lost the possibility of use my device like a USB drive to connect on TV, Radio, Decoder etc.
VirtualSD really works to create a virtual SD, my windows recognized this, and I able to copy files direct with windows explorer.
But, continues with errors. I try to copy a ISO file 2.3 Gb, and copy stops every time I tried.
I copied a file 600 Mb AVI with sucess, but when I try to view this archive on my digital decoder of Tv, the device is not recognized.
Someone have sucess on copy large files or play media files with VirtualSD in other devices than nothing a PC?
Sorry my poor english!

I search for app, but I don't found it.
This APP, VirtualSD, comes with Viper Rom.

Go to an online shopping site (ebay preferably) and search for the mhl micro usb. Get the one that suites your liking. I got the red one meant for Samsung. Replicates screen on to tv.

[Q] Explore phone SD card through laptop using Bluetooth ?

Is it possible to explore the SD card's contents on Android phone using Bluetooth connection ?
Years back when I had Sony K800, i switched on BT on phone and laptop, and I could see the K800 on the "My Computer" page.
then i could enter and explore and transfer files directly through the windows explorer.
Currently I have HTC Desire S, running Android 2.3.5 and Laptop CQ-45 (Compaq) running Vista.
But I am not able to explore the phone easily.
To transfer file I have to select each file, then start the BT file transfer wizard on laptop, which could either send or receive ONE file at a time.
if I try to send more than one file (pictures, few MBs), then only one gets sent and I have to restart the BT file wizard again to receive another file on the laptop.
I use this just if I need to transfer a few snaps i might have taken with the phone, for larger files (videos) i use the USB cable.
I installed the BT File Transfer app from the Market, but that also does not help.
Any other ways ?
My wifi is not always on, so i cannot use Airdroid or some such way.
Options are BT or USB.
thanks.
anyone ?

ADB file transfer?

i remember a year or two ago i used a program that required wireless ADB to easily transfer files from PC to my phone but i can't seem to find that program or anything similar to it
it was amazing any help?
Why bother with that? There are a lot of file explorers that can establish a ftp service over wifi to do the same.
