Bluetooth sharing

I don't know if i'm missing something here, but the bluetooth manager folder in file explorer seems useless.It never finds any of my devices and i have no idea why. It says searching but can't find anything. It can't find my 8525 when it' on and visible. Does the 8525 have to have this for it to work? If not, how can i get it working? Thanks

I had problems with this too, couldn't find the receiver device when trying to send a file.
This worked for me:
You have to do kinda "shake hands" of the devices the first time.
Goto Start menu -> settings -> connections -> bluetooth -> devices -> add new device
(could be named a little bit different, I translated from my german device)
You will be asked for a password. I normally use 0000 (standard BT password), even if it's not the savest way I think
The other device will recognize this and also askes for the password.
Once the device is mentioned in the devices list, sending and receiving to/from it will be possible.
I hope this was what you asked for.

My problem
I have done the whole pairing thing but when i do the discover services it say no services found and it's not connected please advise

u need to go in the BT configuration and under FTP tab check the Enable File Sharing.
For some reason or maybe for me only, this settings does not stick, and I have to do it anytime I want to exchange files. But once I tick the box, I am able to transfer files, contacts and such.
On the same FTP page you can choose to activate the BT explorer. This will browse other BT enabled phones ?! I guess. More like BT jacking?!

is there a cab for the BT Explorer as it is not cooked into the rom I have ??

4 Questions (WifiRouter, PTT Button, Change My Docs, & HTC Brightness Icon Fix)

Hello to all. I don't expect you to know the answers to all of these questions. If you know one or more, can you please reply. I've tried to search for about a week and couldn't do it, so if ya can help me out that would be great. Greatly appreciated!
1. I downloaded WifiRouter and did everything it said, changed my IP address, ran the program, created an Adhoc network and when I connect my laptop it says it's connected, which is a success, but it my laptop doesn't have an internet connection. The whole point is to share your internet via wifi using an Adhoc connection right? It's not working for some reason. I've tried this wifirouter program in hopes that I can share internet via my wifi with my friend's laptop.
2. I need a program where I can change the PTT button on the AT&T Tilt. I want to customize the buttons on the right and left of my AT&T Tilt to open up programs. I've searched and can not find the program.
3. How the heck do I change the default folder of My Documents to something else so when I'm sending files to my phone via bluetooth it goes to my storage card or a separate folder NOT My Documents? I want to change it to my Storage Card from now on. Can't find the program.
4. Where is the brightness fix for the HTC Home? I search and found one here on xda and it crashed my phone. The brightness icon does not work and I've tried multiple HTC Home's and the brightness just won't work on my AT&T Tilt. Does anyone know a definite fix. I heard it was some dll file that I have to replace.
Thanks

Perhaps here you'll find a solution for that problem, it allowed me to reassign my PTT button, post #127: link

WiFi and Power Off

Hi guys.
Everybody (almost) know that it's possible to link an image (so a button on our Today) to the bluetooth in order to switch on and off the bt, just putting this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/86265673/BluetoothToggle_Discoverable.zip.html
in a folder and making a link to it.
Is there a file that makes the same for the power off and the WiFi?
Don't link me any programs whick makes this (like effcomm).
I need the files which turn the ppc off and switch on/off the wifi.
Can u guys help me?
Cheers! Bye!

You can try PocketToolman 2

Yeah, I've already tried it, but it allows me to enable or disable the wifi, the bt, to reset and power off the ppc, but it doesn't give me any file to use for my purpose.
An exe or something I can use to link the image to enable the wifi and to switch off the ppc.

i'm also interesting about the link to poweroff application of the deide

[AP Request] Bluetooth Shortcut .EXE

Okay so I've gotten pretty spoiled now with the voice command on our phones. The one thing I REALLY wish I could do was turn the bluetooth on and off without having to go through all the work to get to the communications manager..(settings tab,then com manager, then bluetooth on or off... then closing it all down)
Is there something out there that is a direct short cut? I little .exe that will either turn bluetooth on if it was run or off if its run again? If not anyone with some skills want to make this happen? That would allow a quick shortcut in our applications tab AND for those of us who use voice command a quick way to turn bluetooth on and off. All we'd have to say is "Start bluetooth" or something. Best I've been able to do is say "Start bluetooth explorer" and it opens the bluetooth explorer...which yes works but I dont want that damn thing to open up AND I cant turn it off that way either.
If there is something out there similar to this I cant find it so maybe post it in this thread.
Thanks everyone!

BTonoff.exe
This is a little .exe that I found here on xda, so don't give me any credit. I looked and cannot for the life of me remember where I found this, so if whoever created sees this, I apologize for not giving credit.
Just put this unzipped .exe in the windows/start menu/programs folder and it will list as a program. You can then link the PTT button if you have a fuze, or to another quick launch program if that is what you are looking to do. I have mine set as an icon on the program launcher, and just click once and turns on BT, click again and turns it off.
If this is what you are looking for you can change from AP Request to AP Found.

This is a link to a cab file that I use called BT Toggle. The CAB file has "EkerB" in the name so I am guessing that is who the credit needs to go to. However I have been unable to find the original link back to the application announcement.

Installs like any other cab file and has worked flawlessly for me. I have my left softkey set to run it.

Here you go. I think,this exefile is made by BuzzLightyear(thank you). You need to write a pareter to commandline(or shortcut) "bsd" to toggle discoverable/off mode. It can also do some different modes using different parameters(which I don't know now).

You can also use this little app and set it to one of your soft keys. I have it seft to my left soft key and it works flawless.

Bluetooth folder appears from nowhere

I was looking for a solution to use my Sony Bluetooth DR-BT21G headphones with my TyTnII (stock Italian HTC 6.1 ROM). I read a thread here which mentioned a programme called A2DP Switch. I installed this, and it did not work, so I disinstalled it and used A2DP Toggle which works perfectly (especially in conjunction with QuickMenu, and not using the Today plugin which crowds out the screen).
However, in the process when I now install new cabs, I get the alternative to install to device, memory card or Bluetooth, instead of just the first two. When I look at my files with Total Commander, I can see a Bluetooth folder on my device, but with the same symbol as the memory card. This folder is empty, but I cannot delete it. Can anyone tell me where it comes from, and how I can delete it?

This appears when you enable Bluetooth Explorer. As far as I know there is no way to disable it without disabling BT Explorer.

Thanks, Andy. You are right. I did not switch on Bluetooth Explorer (must have been my son the other day when he used my phone to download e-mail on his computer while we were driving down the autostrada and changed the Bluetooth settings). Now everything is back to normal.
