cyanogen mod bluetooth

when i try to connect to a device so i can send it says error, see if file transfer is enabled. how do i see if it enabled? im trying to send a file to a blackberry 8310

I get that same thing all the time. The only phone I was able to connect to was a samsung t-339 (regular old flip phone from t-mobile) I was able to connect and transfer and even go through the phones directories but transfering was a bit glitchy since it didn't transfer to the bluetooth/received folder, it was just in the main level of the sd.
I couldn't connect to any other phones. Not even another rooted G1 running the same rom.
any help would be great!

MTP/Kies connection problem when phone is locked

Hi,
I'm having some problems with my Note connecting to my computer. My PC is running Windows Ultimate 64 bit and I'm running the latest version of Kies (and every other driver is up to date).
Apparently, my computer only "sees" my Note (in MTP mode) if I connect it when the screen is unlocked (I keep a screen / key guard on all the time on my Note). If I connect the Note when it is "sleeping", the computer "sees" it but I cannot access any of its drives (MTP here). Kies does not "see" it either if I connect it while it's "sleeping".
If I connect my Note when it's "awake" and unlocked, both Kies and Windows can access it perfectly. So then I schedule a back up through Kies and, while in progress, the Note goes to sleep / lock mode (my screen times out after 15 seconds). When that happens, Kies hangs doing the backup (and never finishes) and sometimes I cannot access it any more with Windows Explorer.
I've tried any trick in the book, including reinstalling Kies / drivers or troubleshooting the connection and I kind of am out of ideas here. What do you think?
Thank you!

[Q] Access Denial on Interop Unlocked ATIV S. System Apps Fail to Start

Howdy,
Lately I started experiencing access issues with the phone. One of these is the screenshot issue. The screenshot gets taken, although the phone says Couldn't take screenshot and saves the screenshot. The screenshot does not get shown in the Photos app like the app can't access the file.
Here are all of the access issues I experience, I believe they are connected all together and have the same root cause.
1. Whenever I press WindowsKey+Turn off button to take a screenshot, the phone says Saving to Screenshots... and then Couldn't take screenshot. The screenshot does not get saved to Screenshots folder. If I check this same Screenshots folder via Windows Explorer, it shows the taken screenshot is there
2. No camera app, including the built-in one, can save the taken photo. Whenever I start the camera and press the Camera button, the Camera app either disappears as if it crashed (and Start screen is shown) or the Photos app is shown instead of just taken photo. Checking the Camera roll section in the Photos app does not reveal the photo as if it wasn't taken. If I check this same Camera roll folder via Windows Explorer, it shows the taken image is there!
So the phone does take photos and screenshots but can't read them! Why?
3. Most of the time Photos app fails on start. You tap photos, it shows Loading... and then the app closes and Start screen gets shown. The other time it shows Loading... then Resuming... then Loading... again and does that multiple times. Sometimes it starts well but shows only old photos and screenshots that were taken before I started experiencing issues with taking screenshots and starting system apps.
4. Often so the Phone storage app available in Settings doesn't start either and closes after showing Loading... Sometimes it starts with no issues.
5. Music app fails to start every now and then. If I am being preserving, the app starts after multiple attempts to launch it. When it starts, it does not return to album view when you click Play on a song in an album. The app just freezes.
6. Finally, my System section in Settings|Phone storage|Phone now shows 4.29 GB (!) although it consumed 2.12 just before I started experiencing these strange issues. Seem like it has been flood with dumps and logs.
It appears the issues arisen when I replaced my 32GB Transcend UHS-I QSDXC card with a 64 GB by µSDXC from Sandisk and attempted to synchronize photos via Zune application and both WinRT and Desktop versions of Windows Phone apps.
More detail:
1. I interop-unlocked the phone and it worked for a while.
2. My 32 GB SD card ran out of memory and I replaced it with a 64 GB SD card.
3. The 64 GB SanDisk SD card appeared incompatible with Samsung ATIV S and looked as if it had been dismounted every now and then. The phone had been rebooting every 10 minutes or like and CPU was heating high.
4. I removed the 64 GB card and started the phone without the card. It worked well. The phone stopped heating and rebooting ever since I removed the card.
However, I noticed that I no longer can start the Photos app. Moreover, Phone storage also was failing start and Camera app did not make screenshots and photos.
5. I inserted the 64 GB card to my wife's Nokia Lumia 620 and it worked fine there. I put the 32 GB card back into my Samsung ATIV S but access issues are still there.
How do I fix this? Any clue is highly welcome.
I remember in Windows Phone 7.0 days, MSFT was joining SD card File System with the one on phone's memory. Could it be that storage array has been broken when I replaced the memory card?
Also could it be that something screwed with bootstrap (the phone is interop-unlocked and has been boot strapped before it's been unlocked).
Once again, the phone is developer unlocked and interop-unlocked.
I plan to hard reset but am worrying of getting my phone bricked. What if re-imaging or whatever the phone does when it resets itself (I assume it applies a WIM file like Windows 8 does it on PCs)?
Seems like inserting 64 GB SanDisk screwed the phone.
Important note: I did NOT use remove SD Card button on Settings|Phone storage|SD Card when replacing the cards. It just felt no sense to do that provided that I had switched the phone before I replaced the card.
I appreciate your help. Don't want contact Samsung service; my phone wasn't produced for the country where I live.

Hard reset is probably your best bet, since simply power-cycling didn't fix anything. You could check in SamWP8 Tools (assuming you have it installed) and reset all options to their defaults... The danger in hard reset is that you can't interop-unlock if you have GDR3 installed with the official updates from Samsung (as opposed to just the GR3 early release from Microsoft, which is fine).
For what it's worth, my GDR3 (MS bits only) SGH-T899M has a 64GB microSD card in it, has for months, and has no problems like you describe. Sorry I can't help more.

Thank you for your response. After I talked with W.O.L.F and other gentlemen over here, I came to the conclusion that the issue is that I toggled the Full access to file system in WPH Tweaks. Looks like the option is non-revertible, moreover, it looks like turning the Full FS access off in fact LOCKED access to file system for some system API.
Silly me, I should've used my mind before doing that, but what's done, done.
Using SamWP8 Tools made things even worse, my phone stopped showing in Windows Explorer and started to hang as if it was busy all the time. The fact that it was heating all the time made me think that this toggle-in/toggle-off operations with Full File System access did make something to some drivers is Windows Phone. I don't know what exactly happened but the phone stopped being detected by OS as ATIV S, disappeared from Removable Devices in Windows Explorer and showed only in USB devices section. Also in Device Manager it went from Samsung ATIV S to MTM USB Device or something. Screwed completely.
I had to hard reset the phone, but the 'luck' that I had GDR3 preview (8.x.512.x as far as I remember) turned it into brick. After I hard reset the phone, all I saw was the standard Samsung welcome screen with dandelions and a black screen that showed instead of Start screen.
I understand it like I have to Flash the phone back to GDR2 using publicly available ROMs but am confused with two things:
1. Last time I checked, when the phone was still usable, the phone showed that I had XEN as a CSC.
Now what if I flash it with a different CSC like SER; since I live in Russia?
2. If I use 64-bit flavor Windows 8, would Samsung driver work fine there, I don't want to mess with incomplete flash.
I am pretty confident that I know how to turn off signature verification for bootmgr in Windows 8, but I am not sure I know how to make sure installed driver works fine (except for checking its return code on starting).
I would appreciate your recommendations. I would've sent my phone to Samsung service, but I bet it won't give me anything except for additional problems.

The "Full FS access" hack in SamWP8 Tools has nothing to do with the actual file system. It just modifies the way that the MTP service on the phone - the one that normally lets you only see the documents and media folders - launches so that it can access all of drive C:. It doesn't actually *change* the file system in any way - the tweak to the service configuration is in the registry - and in any case, the MTP service isn't even running when the phone isn't connected to a PC.
With that said, you might have screwed something up when you had such access. For example, if you deleted or renamed the Pictures folder, that would break things. However, I don't think that's the problem. I think your phone has a hardware issue with its internal Flash storage. The key evidence of this is the failure of the hard reset. GDR3 (it's not really a "preview"; it's the release bits, just only the MS portion rather than the combined "retail" update that also has Samsung firmware updates in it) didn't "brick" your phone. I'm afraid it's almost certainly just a case of defective or damaged hardware.

Uhm, Mattemoller90 over here told me this is an issue with GDR3 Preview:

Now would flashing Wolf's custom ROM help here or the phone is completely bricked?
ReFlash GDR2 and your phone start normally, after, if you want update with GDR3
Black screen after an hard reset is a bug of GDR3 preview

I definitely did NOT delete anything from Phone or SD Card the only bad thing I did is I swapped my SD cards from Transcend 32 GB to SanDisk 64 GB that's it. Then I was trying to turn the full access off multiple times using both SamWP8 Tools and WPH Tweaks all to no avail and after one of such Turn full access off -> Restart -> Turn full access on -> Restart cycles I noticed Windows has completely stopped recognizing my phone.
The worse thing I could do is I could pulled out the USB cable from the PC without first detaching the phone programmatically when I presumably had the full access feature turned on, but that's all to it.
Who knows, possibly the NAND memory inside the phone has been damaged somehow, I don't know how.
Currently, when I am trying to flash the phone with GDR2, I get the following:
Gentlemen, I have a problem here:

What does this mean and what should I do? I am trying to flash from GDR3 Preview to GDR2.
I this somehow a confirmation to the fact that phone's memory is broken?
Heck, bad news then. This phone cost me near $500 in Russia...
Thank you.

Okay, the issue is resolved. The phone successfully flashed to GDR2 once I set the All option in the Flashed program and specified the XEH CSC code (which was the code my phone has had before it started to do quirky things).
Thank you everybody for your support.

All you should have to do is drag and drop files into the S6. If you plug your wifes memory card into the computer (or keep it in the phone and plug the phone in) AND plug the S6 into the computer....both will show up on the computer. At that point you just drag and drop the files/photos/video/etc from one phone to the other. Am I understanding your question correctly?

Question Connection & Transfer Issues/Problems: Snapdragon S21-Ultra-128G Factory Unlocked directly from Samsung to Windows-10-Home PC Laptop.

Using USB-A as well as the USB-C the phone is connected. It reads the phone, but only pictures, videos, and audio files can be seen on File Explorer, not docx, pdfs, apks, zips, or exe files, etc.. Apparently the PC/Laptop only read the phone as a Multi-Media Device.
Can only transfer Media files from Phone to PC. Can't transfer any files from PC to Phone.
No issues with other phones: s9, s10, or s20. Even tried other brand new laptops running recent Windows-10, same issue.
I have uninstalled and re-install the Samsung USB Drivers. Windows 10 automatically updateed the drivers just for it to remove the "caution" symbol in the Device Manager as a multi-media device.
Is it a Samsung issue? Or is it a Windows issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

After updating optional Samsung updated drivers on Windows 10. That did allow me to bring files over to the laptop. But I am not able to carry over files to the phone.

Thanks for the reply. It seems to do the same thing even when I use the cable that came with the phone. Could be a Windows 10 issue?
This is a 4-year-old laptop that's been acting rather strange since the Windows 10 updates the past few months. It's about time for a factory reset anyhow. Hopefully it will work after the reset.

That didn't work either. I even did a factory reset on my laptop and still the same. I will factory reset the phone and maybe that will fix the issue. (Is there a possible setting in the phone that can cause this?)

FYI, pictures on my phone in the file explorer can be seen, but files like APKs do not show up as if they are not there according to the laptop file explorer, even when I try to view hidden files they don't show up.

Maybe this helps https://www.diskpart.com/articles/s...move to further,Disk Management and try again.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately none of these worked.

Even on a friend's brand new windows 10 laptop of a different brand, still have same issues.
Remember, my phone is connected. But, certain files like APKs are not even shown. I can transfer the files that can be seen to the Laptop. But I can't send any files from PC to phone whatsoever. It will show the transfer window, but after about a minute, the window will close with an error beep/alert and the transfer will stop.
Seems like only pictures, videos, & music will show on the file explorer, not apks, zips, or software type files. No issue with older phones on s20, s10, etc..

It seems that PTP option is set by default, maybe you can check in the dialogue under developer options that by default is set to transfer files.
Also you should disable all the related security actions over USB under security and developer menues..
In the meantime till you can solve it you can transfer some files through adb push command, it´s a little tedious but can save you by now. Also is the app Link.
It´s really strange some time ago without trying exactly everything though I couldn´t communicate my A70 with PC but then for other reasons I did a clean installation of Windows (not using preserve files and apps) for repartitioning purposes and surprisingly it started to work just fine.

Thanks for the advice. None of the above helped. Maybe just have to wait until the next Windows 10 or Samsung Software update, and go from there. *Shrugs*

Update: It seems to only connect as a Multi-Media Device. I'm guessing that is why it only shows Images/Vids/Music. Nothing else appears on File Explorer, not even docx or pdfs. I can only send the media files to the PC but no files can be moved into the phone.
any help would be gladly appreciated!

Thanks to all those who tried to help. After doing a factory reset on the phone, as well as a the Windows Samsung 2.17 USB drive update. Everything works fine now.
