Bluetooth File Transfer Question. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen a bunch of threads round here, explaining that Bluetooth OBEX works, and some people even stating success... but none explaining how...
I've recently tried to get this working with a flurry of devices, and I've yet to be able to do it.
Anyone have any tips/how-to to get this to work?! It's a feature I'd love to start using, and be able to show the iTarts in my office...
any help would be great... thanks!

I second this thread. Very similar thoughts.

shameless bump... seems this feature is a bit undocumented... I've been unable to find any information regarding it anywhere... odd...

Idiot here...Apology for being rude

I dont understand why no one will help me. I asked numerous times for someone to help me in getting my internet connection setup again. I have installed Molski's last rom and now i can no longer get an internet connection. It might seem like a stupid ? to alot of people on here but i cant figure it out. And being totally ignored is pretty annoying. I have searched and cant figure out how to set it up. I have used Summiters roms in the past with no problem and now trying Molski's and Risidoro's i cant connect any more. If anyone can spare a second of there time to help out someone who is learnig it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Please disregard my rudeness. my phone has gotten me very annoyed the last couple days and i realize the above post is no way to get help. Please read 3 posts down for more info. Thanks

Who is your Carrier? Cingular? T-Mobile? Orange?

I don't understand why you helped no one, so far. Many have asked the same question numerous times and of all the 20 posts you've got so far, which of those are answers to questions? None? Tell me why?

First of all, state your problem! What exactly is is that isn't working. Is it your GPRS connection? or are you trying to use your phone as a modem for a laptop? Are you having problems with wifi? What carrier are you using, what country? edge?
And if you actually want help, change the topic and I'd suggest that you change your first post as well.
And for the record I'd just want to say that no one is obligated to help you, ask politly next time...
Aggrivation
Ok, I have tried asking politely. Thats why i got upset and started this thread.
Hanmin.. I have not helped anyone for two reasons...no one has asked, and i dont like to just give answers if im not sure there the CORRECT answers. My 20 posts are mostly me asking questions to learn how to use this phone, if i was a master like alot of the people on this board i would gladly be of assistance...
Nomad...My problem is yes, my gprs connection, I cannot connect. It seems that Molski and Risidoro's roms dont have the settings in them already like Summiters' do. I live in the U.S. and have Cingular. My wifi works, i think, if i turn it on, it searches and finds networks, but i can never get it to connect to one. I have kinda given up on that until i can learn how to use it. Also, i know no one is obligated to help. I was just looking for someone to maybe lead me to a post where i can read and figure it out. I have searched numerous times but cannot find it on here. It seems that searching old posts is only good if you know what you are looking for exactly, otherwise pretty much every post turns up in the search results. Im sorry if ive come off impolite, its just from this phone being very aggravating. I dont have alot time to continuously keep up with the ever changing information associated with this phone. Im sure some on here would then say to not get involved with it then, but the roms that these guys put their valuable time into creating are awesome compared to what Cingular ships with. An i do appreciate that.
On another note..If someone would be interested in helping or guiding me in solving this and other issues i have with this phone so that i can become as good as some of the other fine peoples on this board i will make a generous donation. Scratch that, ill make the donation now, since i have already learned alot more than what i came to this board knowing... And once i feel more comfortable with knowledge i will most certainly help whenever possible.
Thanks all to have helped, and once again i apologize for my rudeness.

Have you tried this thread? it contains the needed settings.
Also, I know that the search function sucks. I usually use google "<topic> site:forum.xda-developers.com" it's a lot more accurate
Nomad,
Thanks, that helped alot. I actually saw that thread in my searches and somehow missed the cab. Boy talk about dumba$$...lol also, thanks for the google search info, is there anything that google isnt good for? Now if i could jsut figure out how to walk on water ill be all set =)
almost forgot, which is better, when you have the G icon by the signal level or the E. I always had the E with my other roms and i noticed that with molski's and Risidoro's its the G. I try searching , i think i remember reading about this before.
Shady
EDIT: Got it. searched google and found it out. Its a reg hack, i remebered after reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284970
Edge or GPRS
Basically I see no difference in performance. The "E" doesn't appear because Molski doesn't like it Some networks have edge, other don't. I'm sure that you have Edge, because of Molski not liking the letter E , you are shown an G

PIE not working on 3G

Okay, I'm just wondering if there is a setting somewhere that I'm not aware of and hopefully someone could point it out. When I am at home and the phone is connected to my home Network ( WiFi ) Pocket Internet Explorer works just fine. Now turn off WiFi, reverting back to 3G, and Pocket Internet Explorer doesn't function. Just loads blank pages continually. The reason for me thinking it's a setting somewhere is because I also have Opera, which works fine on both WiFi and 3G. So while PIE is oblivious to the World around it, Opera's singing along. LOL! Honestly I wouldn't really even care except I have the mod installed that allows PIE to transfer live video streams to TCPMP thus making YouTube and such work rather well on the device. If that worked in Opera, PIE would never be used on my device. Hehe... So, anyway there's my problem. I eagerly await ideas. Thanks!
No one huh?
Geesh, I hate when I find a problem the technical like crowd can't even answer. :\ That leaves ya with... Technical Support from the... MAN... And we ALL know just how extremely useful / helpful those folks are.
Keep in mind that some people don't LIVE on this forum.. (i do though..) and the members of this forum are from all across the world, so people are on at different times.
Your posts are 13min. apart. If everyone could get their solution within 15min i think people that help out on this site should be paid! but thats not the case...
now to solve your problem; Are you on AT&T? if so i'd recommend finding the disablehiddenproxy.cab and installing that. I had the same probelm and after disabling the proxy everything was back to normal.
if i remember the manual correctly, for wifi you want proxy's off...
for MediaNet you want the proxy on

Firstly, thank you. I will try that.
Secondly, please check the dates of my posts. I realize that people do not live here. And all help is appreciated. I waited 24hrs.. And, by the way, I don't get to live here either. It is sheer coincidence that I happened to check back pretty much 24hrs. later on the button. LOL! Well, pretty close for not really even paying attention to that anyway.
Thirdly...
And thirdly, that is precisely why we all love ya! Disabling the proxy corrected the issue. I think that my phone actually came with that active, I don't recall PIE ever working over 3G... Until now that is. I figured it was simple since, as I said, I have Opera on the device also and it didn't care. It worked no matter how the device was connected to the 'net. Anyway, thanks much!

irc connection problems

Hi all, hopefully someone will be able to provide some advice on an irc connection problem i am having.
I have installed on my device zsIRC and smartIRC. Strangely i have had them installed for a while but smartIRC has only just started connecting.
I am connecting using HSDPA and for smartIRC this works fine. It cant resolve the hostname but seems to be ok in using the IP address instead.
when i then try zsIRC it goes through the same connection process but when trying to connect using the IP address i get an error message
connection lost while reading: 10054
then it disconnects.
I have used zsIRC via a wifi connection at home and it works fine there.
Any ideas on if this can be resolved?
One other oddity in smartIRC is that the enter key doesnt work on the keyboard and i have to use the send command on the touch screen....
All help would be greatly appreciated
ps...i have searched the forums but cant seem to find a great deal on irc
I am using Pocket IRC at the moment and All works OK.
Give it a try and let me know if things are better.
I am connected to #xda-devs on freenode right now
Dave
Thanks Dave,
there seemed to be so many out there that i went for the two i mentioned. I've downloaded pocketirc and that logged in first time
now just need to play around with it.
Thanks for the help!
Incidentally if anyone does have insight into zsIRC i'd still be interested so i can compare the various programs.

IRC Commands?
Have a look here: http://www.ircle.com/reference/commands.shtml
This is what I use for reference.
Dave
but with some mobile irc apps i've found differences
smartIRC for example doesnt use / it uses , instead, and doesnt seem to support all the commands
although i see that pocketirc uses the /
also some seem to vary how they do private messages so it can be a bit of a lottery
Only ever tried a Java Applet IRC before Pocket, and that was almost impossible to use, so I don't really have any comparison.

Twitter links won't work.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I've had awhile and never found and answer for. I can't get the shortened urls from Twitter to work. Ex. Bit.ly links. Tried on my gfs Maxx and works right away. I get a connection error. I feel like this has happened on other phones I've had and I've never found a solution. Should also mention it doesn't work on wifi or Verizon network.

S10 not working with proxy tools such as Charles/Fiddler

Recently got an S10 for a project I'm working on, and tried to connect it to Fiddler, and it's not passing any traffic through there. Also had a search and found this unanswered question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55248595/unable-to-connect-samsung-s10-to-charles-proxy
I used tPacketCapture to see if there was any information there that would help, but wasn't anything useful I could see.
So thought I'd ask in here and see if anyone has any ideas about why this is? and whether there are any workarounds?
