WP8 Nokia BT file transfer - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay seriously!! I have not been able to share photos with anybody at all via BT, WTF? What is the use to have this feature at all? I am however able to receive from other devices but that is it. Like today I was able to receive content from a cheap Cricket Wireless phone but not send to it???? I've tried various phones including a Blackberry and an iPhone (which I know that iPhone blocks this). The only way I can send and receive via BT is from a laptop and that's it!!!! This is worse than the DFT hack version of BT file transfer.

You can only transfer from WP8 to WP8 and expected to support all other platform free support in future updates.

What the? Are you serious? I don't know anyone else besides myself with a Windows Phone; and I am not just saying that. So who am I supposed to share content with via Bluetooth? OMG, out of the 600 + employees at work I'm the only one with a WP8 device.

Are you kidding ?????
I can send any pictures via bluetooth from my Lumia 820 to any device with bluetooth. You first need to pair your WP8 phone with the device to which you want send file and accept data transmission. Before the moment I checked with the Nokia E52 - works as it should.

I just sent a Picture from my Lumia 920 via Bluetooth to my SGS2 and it worked just fine. I actually don't know what issue you are running into but the OS and Nokia device support this just fine.
What's not working is initiating BT File Transfers using NFC with an Android device. If you use regular Bluetooth for sharing there shouldn't be any issues. Another problem ist the iPhone but that is due to the fact that the iPhone does not support the standard OBEX object push protocol for Bluetooth (which is what basically everyone else is using).

Hum, that is strange. I don't get it then. It must be specific to the 822 or something.

Yea, on this last phone it tried it on it even had the option to enable OBEX; I paired the phones and everything and the other phone was able to send to my Windows Phone but anytime I tried to send something it would say error, the connection was lost even though they were connected.

I didn't even pair the phones - just set the SGS to be visible via Bluetooth, on the Lumia selected a picture to send via Bluetooth, it found the SGS and I said send. The SGS then asked if I wanted to receive the data which I confirmed and some time later the transfer was done and I was able to open the image without any problems.
What have you been trying to send?

I have also been able to send photos. Have you got bluetooth turned on before trying to send the photo? I've found that if bluetooth is off, then it's not an option to share.
The key for me is to make sure that Bluetooth is enabled before trying to share. Once that's on, then tap and hold the photo, tap share... and then select bluetooth (other options being messaging, mail, facebook onenote, twitter)
It then shows me any discoverable devices weather they are paired or not.

Option for share is "touch and send" for picture this is not NFC but BT.

Touch and Share is NFC. It uses NFC to initiate a Bluetooth Transfer and this currently does not work between an Android device and Windows Phone. Activate Bluetooth in Settings and below Touch & Share you will get the option Bluetooth which works fine.

Using Diamond with Car-PC via bluetooth?

Hi there,
I got a car-pc since a while and have been using my sony ericsson with it... calls get transferred via bluetooth to the computer, as like phonebook in integrated into the car-pc software... all transmitted via bluetooth...
Now with the diamond, how do i set it up as a phone? winXP doesnt recognize other services than the moden funxtion
you should enable Remote SIM access on you Diamond: Start -settings - connections bluetooth SIM acces and also activate the service for your BT connection (do this in the first tab of the BT settings dialogue after connectig)
already done :-( But the Computer doesn't list other functions than modem for the HTC
Do i need any drivers for XP? Usually not...
Using Diamond & CarPC Via Internet sharing over BT
I have a CarPC in my car, it has a 7" touch screen & it is running WinXP and have built in Bluetooth. So for surfing in the internet , MSN, Skype in my car over the carpc i am using my HTC Diamond with the Internet Sharing icon and connecting it via Bluetooth to the carPC so i get FAST Internet over Bluetooth between my carpc and my HTC Diamond.
It works very good - very stable.
Matter of fact it is "capturing" my 3G Internet and pass it over Bluetooth to the carpc.
Solution works very well.
k, but i am not interested in using it as internet connection, i want to phone via the computers hardware, so the car-pc should act as an headset... besides that, he shoult be able to access the adress book and to begin calls... that for, i neeed 2 comports emulated, but how to create them?
could it be because the device is seen as a PDA, and not as a mobile phone?
I know somewhere here on XDA there is a reg hack for earlier devices to make them appear as a mobile phone to car kits. maybe the same thing will help here. I don't know where it is, can only suggest searching, unless anyone else can point you in the right direction....
I used to have PhoneConnector on my CarPC, with PhocoAdapter on the phone. It worked, but now this software is not supported anymore and unfortunately it does not work with WM6.
Freefone is not compatible either.
My good Blackbaron, I believe we users of CarPCs and Windows Mobile are scr...d!
By the way, sharing the 3G connection workds a treat, by USB, BT, Wifi... I just wish Vodafone would allow other ports than port 80
I still didnt realize what 3G is... ^^ I never owned a ppc before...
Well, on the CarPC the internet speed is as great as a DSL line, here is France I measured it at more than 3.5 MB/s (KS20 is limited to 4 MB/s with HSDPA, who knows why). Coming from the crappy Edge Motorola phone I had before, the browsing is truly amazingly fast!

1) Launch the Internet Sharing application on your phone (all WM6 phones have it)
2) Select your 3G connection, and BT or USB, tap "Connect"
3) USB: have ActiveSync installed on the PC, connect the USB cable, it's done.
4) BT: you have to set up a BT PAN hosted from your phone, add your PC to it, it's done.
5) If your provider uses a proxy, setup Firefox to use it (Tools/Options/Advanced/Network)
6) If your provider has a filter on User Agent, then you need the plug-in "User Agent Switcher", to put the same User Agent string as on your phone.
There you go!

Calling on my pc

Hi,
Does someone know any program for WM 6.1 where you can call with youre mobile on your pc when there is a connecting between youre pc and WM phone?
On this moment I use My Mobiler to controll my phone on my pc but I miss a function on it for calling so the sound and microphone will be used on my pc.
That would be very nice and handy!!
Thanks in advanced!
Ricky
The only way I'd see to have sound is to use a PC with bluetooth, and on the phone set the PC as being a "headset".
Hi,
That doesnt work in my case...
I can only file transfer and do some networking functions.
My pc can not function as a headset.
Thanks!
Well, AFAIK the phone audio path in WM-based phones does not go through the PDA part, so there's no way to hack into it by software via network or whatever.
I don't see another solution. Maybe you can try changing the Bluetooth stack on your PC with the Widcomm or Bluesoleil ones for example, as those support headset profiles.
Thanks for that info.
Than I will try it with an other bleutooth stick and hope it will work!
Just to make sure, I mentioned "stack" not "stick". I.e the bluetooth software on the PC, not the hardware dongle. The dongle should be fine in any case.
Ohw.... I was already installing another stick.
Wich software ie do you mean then?
I am installing the Sitecom software now, is that what you mean?

Never heard about that. But I gave 2 examples in my above post.
Ok, I thought that where the dongles.
I will figure it out somehow, thanks!
I've never tried making a call through your phone through your PC but for bluetooth internet sharing file transfer and a few other things bluesoleil has worked great for me

bluetooth obex

What can I do with bluetooth obex?
Anyone else not able to search xda using the stock g1 browser?
with bluetooth obex you can send and receive files via bluetooth as long as both devices are rooted.
both devices have to be rooted? Perhaps I am reading into that too much but you can't mean we can only share with other android phones right?
I saw it says bluetooth FTP... which made me wonder if I was missing something, like if I could do stuff with my computer remotely. What is the significance of FTP on this apps name *when you open it*.
Sorry, would be nice if you could search on here using the G1s browser.
Bluetooth File Transfer Protocol meaning its a program used to transfer files over the Bluetooth Frequency.
so it is android to android only then?

Nope, I connected to my iMac. It can share with any other device that has the bluetooth file sharing enabled/available.

connected to my friends nokia 6265i ... its a regular phone not a smartphone .. was able to view his files and everything ... loving the new bluetooth app
ok so then how do you enable the file sharing etc on android ? I was trying to test with a friend of mine who has an android, and was unable to find the setting any ideas? thanks!
Yeah, my buddy has an iPhuckinsuck, we let our phones become available, we scanned, we paired, but then we could not connect, even after I entered the correct PIN for his phone.
Perhaps I just don't know how to connect, but I have yet to connect with a phone correctly. Same scenario with my wife's BB. Could not connect.

Connect to internet via a bluetooth device?

i have nokia nuron (5230) and it allows sharing of the internet via bluetooth. does the tab have any bluetooth profiles that will connect to my nuron and allow the it to get to the internet? i cant actually try it right now since i am on CM7 and bluetooth isnt working properly. let me know if anyone has tried something similar. thanks.
android does not provide reverse DUN or PAN bluetooth access to other devices
however
I had another tablet that you could use an app that let you connect to other phones using the DUN capabilities.
I could connect my old nokia to the tablet and it really worked, but I couldn't do the same on my X10 nor my G1, I suspect the Gtab would be the same case(mainly for the lack of bluetooth profiles on the tab)
If you want the apk I could send it to you if you or another member want to test it and figure it out how to make it work
willing to try anything at this point. PM sent.

[Q] Nexus 6 cannot send files to Macbook Pro via Bluetooth......

Hello everyone,
I'm asking for some help with my Nexus 6 (64GB Unlocked White, Verizon, running stock 5.1 LMY47E rooted)
I cannot for the life of me get my Nexus to transfer files ( .jpg pictures, .pdf, etc) to my Macbook Pro (late 2011 17") via bluetooth
I've included some screenshots of the errors I'm getting.
I have tried numerous times to get it to work. I've done various Google searches regarding this problem, which hasn't helped at all.
Now here's the weird thing.......
I bought my Nexus 6 last month (April, 2015) and I got bluetooth file transfer to work with my Macbook Pro initially. However, my MBP had its logic board fail (mid April) and I had to send it to Apple to get it replaced. Long story short, after throwing in a brand new Samsung 500GB SSD and doing a fresh install of Mavericks 10.9.5, I cannot get my Nexus to send files to my Macbook Pro. I've tried files other than the various .jpg pictures I want to send, such as .pdf, but they fail as well in the Outgoing Transfers folder in bluetooth.
I CAN get my Macbook to send files TO my Nexus and it accepts them, it's just the sending files from my Nexus to my Macbook that always fails. I use this function ALL the time to transfer photos to my Macbook from my Nexus, I hate having to get a USB cord and manually do it. I grew accustomed to this with my old Galaxy Nexus.
I should mention I was running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 before I had to send my Macbook in for repair. Yet I'm fairly confident this isn't the problem, given I can send files from my Macbook to the Nexus, but not vice versa.
I tried deleting the plist file for bluetooth on my Macbook, then shutting down the laptop, then restarting. This did not fix it.
I've tried clearing the bluetooth cache in apps on my Nexus, then rebooting...... this did not work.
I'm at my wits end here with options.
I do not understand why I can't get files to go through to my Macbook, yet I can get files to go from my Macbook to my Nexus 6.
I get a connection error when I try and send a file from my Nexus to my Macbook, screenshot below.
Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
I don't know what to do..
Thank you-
***UPDATE***
Just found out what was wrong.
There is a setting in System Preferences called "Sharing"
You MUST enable Bluetooth Sharing in order for the Nexus (or any smartphone for that matter) to be able to send files to a Mac via Bluetooth.

Do you mean enabling the Bluetooth toggle or a different setting? Did not find sharing yet.

I do for big files, such as videos I've taken, but for pictures, bluetooth file transfer is so much easier and quicker.

You have to first pair the Nexus to the Macbook, then go into
System Preferences-Sharing-then check "Bluetooth Sharing"
*Once you do this, you can transfer files from your Nexus to your Macbook
Cool, thanks. Ima try this when I get home. I could never ever get it to work. I have MBP 2014 and never work from or to it. Let's see if it works tonight.
Sent from my Nexus 6
Doesn't seem to work for me. I tried this and I still get the error message but somehow it was connected because a file I sent transfered. But it doesn't say its paired and connected but it went through. I don't use Bluetooth transfer but I would like to have all features working properly on my laptop and or phone. Oh well ?

Try unpairing, then delete the nexus from your MacBook, and vice versa, then restart your computer and phone, then try repairing
