I've no wifi or internet access on my phone, wonder how could install using my pc. as using media go and pc companion couldn't add themes, games and apps to my x10a. even couldn't download from sites which they require using android device i've too..
Download the apk to your computer and transfer to your phone and install.
Go to settings, application, tap selection to install from unknown sources ( My fone is in dutch, forgive if the option ain't the same as i written.)
Than open with Astro your wanted app/game. Install with app manager.
Voila, thats all.
If you ain't have Astro.
Search in the forum for ADB, its just a command that can push app trough cable to you phone and install it immediately. If you even can't accomplish that and i suggest you even didn't root your fone now its time to do. I thought it will also install an file explorer *Not sure*.
And if you even don't wanna root your phone, my last suggestion is to prepare your computer/notebook with a Ad-Hoc wifi connection. You will just have to share your internet connection between your Lan and Wifi, set-up an Ad-Hoc network with password. Connect your phone on it, and you have network. Only thing to do in market is download any File-explorer programm. And you can install any downloaded apk that you have put it on your storage card.
GOOD LUCK!
Thanks guys for your support, while searching and searching for way to install apps and games to Android, my x10a I've found a pc software no commands needed to type in console. here it is androidcommander.com I've downloaded and it works for me.
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.
Hi xda,
I am glad to be here and to know this site, almost for masters! (which I am not)
Guys, I just want to know if anyone have or had my same issue with the bluetooth when I connect my HTC HD2 to my PC for listening the music, same like in the car.
No matter which ROM I installed, T-Mobile 3.14, Custom or any stock I can't connect via Stereo Audio to my pc.
I can transfer files, I can navigate into my HD2 via bluetooth BUT when I try to connect via Stereo Audio it fail, please see the attachment.
I also can't use audio via Hands-free, practically I do everything but without Stereo Audio.
I already installed update for my bluetooth on my PC.
I try to fix this problem all month and I realized the problem are the drivers on my phone (or ViceVersa ), because if I use Android with my HTC HD2 it works.
I use most of the time WM 6.5 and I want to connect to my car stereo or PC via bluetooth to listening the music but I have this problem.
Nothing helped me jet and I do not find any fix of any kind so my question is if there is any fix for this problem?
Please help, I appriciate if some one can help me.
Thankx.
..no solution? :crying:
No fix at all? Why?
:crying:
Uhaaa, Uhaaa, uhaaaaaa :crying:
Will look at this when I got a free moment as I use to connect my HD2 via BT to a USB BT dongle on work notebook which worked via a headset profile ... Will test when I got time & report findings if seems relevant to your stereo audio issue ...

oh, Mister B, I start to like you!
This issue was wrote some where and few people know about it but nobody said how to fix this.
I used my old HTC Diamond 2 via bluetooth to listening music on my laptop with speakers but somehow with HD2 it is impossible, and supposed to be "newer" than diamond.
I can connect stereo audio with my HD2 after run Android, so basicly this issue is some driver or something like that in my ROM.
To be sure I also tried Stock ROM and 3 different ROM and All of them have this issue. I just don't know where to look.
I can live with this but I can't believe there is no fix for this, that's why I can't slipping in the night!
Let me know.
Cheers.
I just want to say this, I use all the time Windows Mobile 6.5 and sometime Android, so I will be glad if this issue will be solved on my WM6.5......
Problem with HD2 BT was mainly due to change of BT stack manufacturer thus a few new driver issues that never really got worked out fully.
Once I got some time free & am at my work PC I will run through it & see what results I get.
I'm on WM6.5.3 as in signature ...
Well I put work on hold & had a play, works fine for me on 6.5.3 & windows 7 Notebook with built in BT module.
I got same initial issue as you with 1 driver error, I tried correcting from device manger by checking windows update with no result & then manually searched whole of C:\ drive for driver with no result.
I then looked in folder with our HD2 files (company using over 20 HD2s at present) & found Bluetooth driver zip file.
unzipped them to desktop & went back into device manager & manually searched driver, got disc option & choose inf file on desktop & it installed fine.
reconnected bluetooth between HD2 & Notebook via bluetooth options on HD2 & selected stereo audio & then tested by selecting some music to play on my HD2 ...
Result was some rather loud music blasting out of the notebooks rather good Altec Lansing speakers & my Boss fully aware of my poor work ethics :-S
Couple of screen shots below & the bluetooth driver files in a zip archive.
May take a bit of messing around to get driver installed or perhaps deleting any current Bluetooth partnership & starting new but result should be worth it
Picture shows ActiveSync connected which it was via WMDC at time, I also tested again just via BT Stereo Audio & no activesync & all working as should so far :-S

Sorry but this time I am unlacky.
I did like you said. First of all I uninstalled all bluetooth drivers and devices from my lap. I rebooted and the pc compleated the reinstall of basic bluetooth option with no error. So I put on desktop the zip file which you give me and I extract the driver to a folder. I connected the phone via bluetooth and like all the time I got the error of the peripherial drive missing. So via Device Manager I finded the Bluetooth Peripherial Device and I manually selected to Update the driver, Browse my computer, Let me pick up...., Have a disk, Install from disk, and I browse to the folder where I extract the driver from your zip and I can't install it. See the attachment.
I got Windows 7 with WMDC, my bluetooth hardware on laptop is Broadcom, my HD2 rum WM 6.5.
I don't know what is going on with this stuff.....
PS: I hope you do not risk your position at work to have fun with this stuff....
Windows 7 32 bit or 64 ?
I would perhaps update your WMDC if not the last build ...
Maybe check for specific drivers for your broadcomm BT from manufacturer website ...
Also checking way you try installing driver as error looks like it unable to find the .cat file rather than a compatibility issue ...
It does work so you can have some hope but perhaps some BT stacks have more issues !
Works on 3 Notebooks I tested so far: HPdv2535, Lenovo thinkpad & ideapad s205 ...
* Still have a job so no worries

Windows 7 32bit,
the WMDC is update already and work fine,
the manufacturer Broadcom webside do not update or fix the driver for my hardware Broadcom, I allredy did and I downloaded the app to update the Broadcom hardware and the app saing "We can't update your hardware" I said WHAT? F..k you! I read about this somewhere and the responsibility is the manufacturer of my laptop, SONY, so for all of them there is not any issue with this hardware bluetooth, and I think they are right.
.cat file is not on the list because when I serching for the driver, the only one which the hardware need is .inf, .inf is linked to .cat, if this link in your driver, which you give me, is broken or lost, I can't do anything about it. I got only this two files, .inf & .cat.
What I think, like I said few post before, is not the problem of my laptop (Sony Vaio FW21M) but is with the drivers into the HD2, because when I use Android no problem at all. If my laptop was the problem I will never connect anything via stereo audio via bluetooth.
Also you do not mentioned which ROM you using on you HD2, is not the same as mine so there will be the difference. The difference is into the ROMs.
Probably this issue have to be forced via registry or via .cab with some fix or driver but no luck at all at the moment and I can't believe is just ME.
PS: Thanks for help me anyway! I allredy clicked on thanks for you!
..and please, if you find something for my case, please, let me know ASAP!
My ROM is as in signature & is quite an old one.
Only 2 files should be in that driver update so that fine but fact you got error message that not found during install attempt could indicate an error on manual install technique perhaps.
Your HD2 ROM could have some influence on it but your initial one missing driver durring initial BT pairing is same as I seen on all HD2 WM6.5 I used & once driver install on PC/Notebook you good to go ... If I find anything new I will post it ASAP
If you find the fix post it as will be interested ...

Well, my is much older, CRACING WM 6.5 OS 21889,
Ok, so this error during the installation is weird? or is a manual installation techniques isssue :angel:, so it's me.
Can you, pleasee, explain to me step by step how to do the update of the driver from your zip, pleasee...
I want try again, I can't give up! Perhaps I did something wrong.
I unzipped the 2 files direct to desktop but you may want to try putting them directly in root of C:\
Then in Device Manager selected the BT missiing driver item with error icon then: Update driver > browse my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk (button) > Browse (button) & search & select the inf file & proceed through prompts as needed to install.
The cat file must be in same directory as inf.
May be worth pausing any Anti-Virus software to eliminate it from possible cause of issue, Norton being one that causes huge amount of issues .
If still have issues consider downloading latest W7 bluetooth driver package from your laptop manufacturer & reinstall & do same for WMDC.
You could also look at this thread perhaps as may help :-S

I did all what you said and all the same, my anti-virus is fine and the file still in the folder and also I put them in C:\,
Always the same error.
Few weeks ago I also saw the forum about this issue and I try to follow the instruction from the webside, same which you give me, but like many I do not have "Microsoft Corporation" on the list of drivers with "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support". (and I do not have AMD, but Intel)
And there is no highest update of WMDC 6.1, still all the same last version.
My drivers of my laptop much udated than now can't be.
Ok, I give up, this stupid Scientists and Engineers made Hi-End stuff whit issues and no solution for it.
We can't do nothing about it.
Problem solved!
If any one had and have right now this problem and need a solution this is the right place!!
I find the solution, was the Mobile Radio 2.15.xx.xx_x.
Yes, I solved the problem after months of pain and tests.
I downgrade the radio to 2.08.50.05 and all working now, from first play, even Android, amazing.
Thanks for all the support.
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.
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 ?
