[Q] Bluetooth File Transfer errors - Optimus One, P500, V General

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] File Access - What the!!!

Every time I download a file onto my tfp I can't see it via usb nor via dlna for hours. I can see the files on my tfp with 'File Manager' but if I plug my tfp into my PC, all recently downloaded files are invisable. Same issue for files via dlna. Initially thought my dlna apps had a floor until I tried to transfer a file via usb and I was like "Where is it"? I can transfer the file wirelessly with 'ES File Explorer' but it is painfully slow.
Same thing happened to me recently too. Only showed the DCIM folder via USB. After a reboot (tablet), the other directories slowly came back and then the files, but it seemed like it was struggling forever.
I finally had access after 1.5 hours and 2 reboots.
Does Android use an indexing service to maintain its listing of files?
If this were the case, maybe a new index is created for newly downloaded files and it is migrated with the master index via a process. In my case, maybe the process isn't working correctly but a reboot will cause it to restart?
Not sure if this is related to the problem but I frequently receive a popup advising "Unfortunately. Asus task manager has stopped".
Just discovered something. I can access all new files via dlna with 'My Net' running but when I use a couple of dlna apps from the market (Imediashare and Skifta), the new files are invisible.

[Q] wifi file transfer from windows xp to android

Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.

[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 ?
