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 ??
hi,
I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and I wanted to do OBEX file transfer through bluetooth by accessing my HTC S730 drive (I am able to do in my old Nokia 6280). However, I failed to do so. Do HTC S730 does not provie OBEX file transfer? or, is there any other way? I will hoping your warm reply. Thanks
OBEX
Do you look close enought?There is a option named OBEX File Transfer in Bluetooth-Options, enabling the Bluetooth-Explorer and share files in specific folder...
You have to take a look into your BT-Settings...and enable incoming beams...and dont ask me...
I dont know too much about it myself but if the phones BT is more up to date than your old phone you might need to update the software you are using to push?
Dont think Nokia runs WM so it might have functioned a little differently in their OS...

The value on the registry of my phone is 1. BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 and I am having difficulty on accessing my HTC S730 drive through my computer. But I am able to do same thing to my older Nokia phone. So my query is whether such feature is supported by WM6 or not? If my question is not clear, I will elaborate it further. Thanks for the reply.
What do you want to do?
What is it that you want to do? Browse the files on your S730 using Bluetooth? Send/Recieve specific files?
Since it is Linux and not Windows the phone might not be syncing properly, or might not be set up to browes the way your after through blue tooth alone...
hi all new to the forum and this whole concept hehe. i am thinking about purchasing the dream however i wanted to know those 2 things: is there an easy program to backup sms to your computer as txt files and is there a program to be able to do bluetooth file transfers?
thanks
Yeah there are SMS Backup Programs. SMSbackup comes to mind but as far as bluetooth file transfer.. still isn't able yet. Personally I think this should have been added from day one.. but eh, what do you do.
was bluetooth file transfers an update in the cupcake version thing?
no bluetooth file transfer only wifi
theres a sms back up tool on the google code project websitw thing it backs up ur sms to sd and after a wipe u can restore them kinda cool ill see if i can find it for u ..best part is its free...
Hi! When i want to send file from other phone to my htc hd7, i see message "not supported". How do i repair this?
The easy answer is to take a seat and pray that M$ come up with the goods. In other words you cant send anything over BT at this moment in time.
With WP7, the only way to transfer files is via Zune, SkyDrive or email em to your device. That's the reason why they disabled access to the storage card. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I'm used to it now.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
there's a way to view the storage in windows explorer. can be used to add files quickly
Hi tmak22,
"there's a way to view the storage in windows explorer. can be used to add files quickly"
Can you give me a hint? Can't see anything ... (Connected via USB to Win XP)

definetley not recommended. Easy way to screw up your sd card. WP7 does not have a file system as such, therefore transferring files can only be done via Zune and now in mango trough SkyDrive or email always. Read this answer from Microsoft: "WP 7 doesn't support any profiles that would allow you to transfer files via BT, so there is no point in trying to connect to a laptop. Your option is e-mailing a file to yourself.
In Mango you will have the option of saving the file to Skydrive via WiFi or Cell Data. Stil not directly to a laptop however.
Notice there is no file system, so no explorer that you could get to the file and say 'send via BT', no option within an open document menu that says 'send via BT'. There is no BT transfer directory, and if you could attach via BT the file explorer on your PC would not be able to navigate to a file to download, because, again, there is no visible file directory structure."

NFC won't be in it, because no WP7 device has a NFC chip anyways. I'd doubt there will be Bluetooth file transfer to be honest. If DFT could implement BT file transfers without any source code access, and Microsoft already had an implementation from WM6.x available; it is leaving us to assume that the feature was deliberately left out, as is on iDevices. Probably for copy right reasons.
So, I wouldn't hold my breath for it - it's likely that neither WP8 nor WP 7.8 will have it.
That looks like it. Though it is one of the most voted feature on the Windows phone features request site, it doesn't look like it will see the light of the day.
It's because of the BT File Transfer and Native File browser that is turning off a lot of people from windows phone.
Bluetooth file transfer on WP8
I think there will be a chance for bluetooth file transfer on WP8 devices, because they will have a removeable mirco SD card, so there musst be a file explorer to handle the Musik or Fotos,... on it. Also Microsoft says on it WP8 Preview, the shared core will have all/new bluetooth protokolls. Well everyon nows the shared core will work in all windows versions (Win 8pro, win8rt, win Phone 8).
Grabbag
Looks good
I think it looks good for Bluetooth file transfer, maybe trough a 3rd party app :good:
www wmpoweruser com/leaked-windows-phone-8-sdk-confirms-peer-to-peer-bluetooth-functionality/
The Guy responsible for the Austrian Marketplace told me that there is going to be something new with Bluetooth soon
I really hope they include bluetooth file transfer this time. It will help a lot in increasing WP sales in India.
It seems Nokia will be adding Bluetooth File Transfer for some Media Files through an App (there was an article on WMPowerUser yesterday). That would be similar to how they enabled Contact Transfers through Bluetooth from their Symbian devices. Given that Nokia anounced that they would implement it I believe that this functionality won't be part of 7.8 itself and therefore won't arrive on Samsung/HTC/LG devices.
For WP8 I'm pretty confident that we will see the functionality - at least for Nokia it's a must as they will provide it for 7.8.
