I don't know about phone-to-phone, but you can already do phone-to-laptop or phone-to-desktop via the bluetooth. You can set up activesync to work over the bluetooth connection (I believe there are threads on this forum; if not do a Yahoo search). Once that is set up, you can transfer files between the PC and the phone over bluetooth.

1. ActiveSync and a file browser
2. OBEX does work
3. if you need the File Transfer Profile (see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1065&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for an explanation of the difference between it and OBEX - or, for that matter, ALL these file transfer issues), AKU3 will contain it too
Hi all...
Sorry for the noob question but I am still really new with Android devices.
Can someone please explain how you "sideload" apps to my Galaxy S i9000M?
I really hope this is not an extremely dumb question but I really want to try the
z4root app out that RyanZA has created and it is not YET on the Market for download.
Any assistance and explaination is much appreciated!!!
PS... Im a quick learner so once it is explained I will not bother you PRO's again for something like this...
-EDIT- Ok... I see that this thread is not getting much response so I will add some further information in hopes that someone can explain things to me.
I am on stock JH2 Eclair Firmware (if that matters).
I want to know... How is the best way to download these apk files to my device to be installed? Via my computer and then xfered to my SGS via USB or should I download the file directly to my device?
Once its on my device, where is the best place to put it? ie. Internal SD, External SD, somewhere else?
Please oh mighty DROID experts... Help this unworthy noob in his quest for "DROID-DOM"...
There probably isn't a best way, but if you download the .apk to your desktop computer you can email it to your phone and then save attachment. I use internalsd/download because I don't have an external sd. Then use a program like Astro Browser on your phone and navigate to the download directory. Tap the file you saved and then open app manager to install.
USB or through kies will get the file to your phone easily also.
I like when people create a QR code for their files. I browse mostly on my desktop so I use barcodescanner on my phone to get the link to my phone.

Thank You Videonut. I appreciate the response and the help.
Any way works. Card reader for your SD card, KIEs, USB debugging mode, Dropbox, email attachment, web browser, bluetooth... none of it matters. Location on your phone doesn't matter either. You are still going to have to install it.
Thanks everyone for the explainations. They will come in handy in the future but for now it seems that RyanZA has put the z4root on the market and I no longer need to side load it but again... Thanks for helping!!!
Hello Dear XDA Members,
I need some help with syncronizing my Phone Contacts To Gmail.
Im not a Newb User At Galaxy And Tried Many Methods.
First I Edited All of my contacts via Kies And Saved It On The Phone And On PC As *.scv File.
*When Im Importing The File to Gmail Most Contacts Are Shown On the phone without the phone number.
*Ive Tried To Create A New File Via Excel Using The Following Headliners:
First Name Last Name Phone Number 1 Mobile Number And nothing ive tried didnt work.
Contacts Are Agian Shown Without Numbers Or Numbers Show In "Notes" And Its Not Possible To Call.
*Ive Tried Also To Mark Only The "Phone Cotacts" And Export It To SD Card, But Its Making Me a File with 1453Contacts (I have only 180 On My Original List, Only 10% Of them has 2Numbers Or More.) (i have on my phone display total of 180contacts and my sim has 330contacts but its not marked.)
And Than When I Reload The File From SD Card To Gmail Trough The Phone, It Gives Me Many DOUBLES, Missing Numbers Etc...
Ive Been Tring To Do That All Day Long And Just Cant Find The Solution.
Can Anyone Help Me?! Please :]
Thank You Very Much Guys
Try this http://www.fjsoft.at/en/ (It's free) and use kies only for rom updating (only thing it can do properly )
Enjoy.
Even I am in need of managing my contacts & wondering what work flow should I adopt so all gets sync with phone & gmail., I tried MyPhoneExplorer its a good software I tried connecting my samsung galaxy I9003 but it doesn't work as yet with this new model, though it supports I9000.
Kies I find useless except the samsung official stuff updating,

MyphoneExplorer should work with your I9003 too, try the uninstall/reinstall process.

uninstall/reinstall the phone/modem driver or MyphoneExplorer?
I wish it connects with I9003, but it says "connection to phone could not be established, no device attached to usb".
I am connecting the phone to LCD monitor usb hub not to the rear usb ports, could that be an issue?

MyphoneExplorer of course ^^ (on your PC), check if the client part is installed on your SGS too.
About the Hub, yes it can be a problem.

The software work as a client side (app on your sgs) / server side (app on your PC), in order to comunicate and synchronize, so when you install PhoneExplorer on your PC it install an APP on your SGS. Just uninstall/reinstall it on your PC and it'll push it automaticaly on your phone.
Oh I didn't connect the phone while I installed the MyPhoneExplorer that could be the reason.
Let me try this.

Make sure the debug mode is checked too (Settings -> applications -> devlopment -> USB Debuging)
Ok Thanks that finally solved the problem.
(it created few more problems while installing & showed a failed driver) but it took some time over 5-7 mins to initialize the modem & then showed it connected.
My phone explorer is great in terms of feature you can dial via computer receive calls via computer, send & receve sms via computer, edit/add contacts much better to do on computer than on small keyboard.

Make sure kies is not running in background process and try it with the stock USB cable directly connected on the PC (maybe a hub issue).
Ok all problem solved now,
do I need to switch off debugg usb settings again when I need kies, its not connecting with kies now or is that background service of kies (which I killed) is mandatory to connect with kies?

Yes disable the "debug mode" when you need kies again.

Hi Forum,
I'm going to get my S3 LTE tomorrow and tried to find some info about accessing it from a Linux system - to no avail
Anybody having some experience or hints for me?
Thx!

I haven't had much luck using MTP mode, so I put it into camera mode when I want to get files on and off the device. Alternatively, I use something like dropbox. If you want to flash them Heimdall works well, as suggested above.
In short: I haven't had much success, but that depends on what you want to do with it. Getting photos/videos on and off isn't too bad.
Thx
Hey,
have you tested dolphin with the mtp plugin? Works, not very well but i can access my phone and copy files from it or to it. Sometimes the plugin crashs, you have to plugin in it again.
For me the best solution, other mtp tools works too but not so good.
Like i tried everything but my pc don't detect it and there isn't even the use as usb storage option

What system are you on? On Mac you might need to install the android file transfer tool. If on a different system just try googling it, there's loads of help out there.

If using the command line then adb is reliable. Googling how to setup adb should help.
I found the issue and it was driver related but at first i though it was the phone
To solve the problem of transferring files from the computer (Windows 7 ) Copy the file from the computer into the folder of images in the mobile storage , tried the way and succeeded with me, if you can not find a folder for pictures taken pictures with the camera will show you folder
