Having a Bluetooth problem that I couldn't find on searching the forum.
Tried to send a .cab file to another XDA user the other day. Devices found eachother and paired fine. I was then unable to send the file to her. Just get the message "failed".
She however was able to send a .doc file back to me with no problems. I then tried to resend that file to her, but no joy. Unable to send any files at all, regardless of format.
Tried setting up the pair from my side, and then from hers, but still no joy. After half an hour, she commented that my phone was very rude, taking stuff from others but not willing to share in return!
Have since discovered that it will send files via Bluetooth to PC, but not other mobile devices. Any ideas why not?
No one else has had this problem??
Are you using a rom that has beam disabled? If no, have you disabled it on your own? I believe beam needs to be fully functional in order to do this (or so I've heard).
I'm not speaking from personal experience as I always keep beam intact (and if it is disabled in the rom I flash, I re-enable it). In turn, I have no issues sending via BT. Might be worth a try for you.
Also, a common misconception is: "Why does the Kaiser have "Beam" if there is no IR?". Many are viewing this as an oversight on HTC's part. However, beam is not just for IR.

You need beam on... I hard reseted my device several times as I could send from PC/Tilt to Trinity but nothing to Tilt. Then I realized beam was off
I don't think "Beam" is off, as I am still able to send things across to my laptop, and from laptop to TyTN, without any problems (well, only problems linked to MS's crappy interpretation of Bluetooth - no problems from the TyTN end, I mean
EDIT: Actually, how do you check beam is on? If I go to Start>Settings>Connections (tab)>Beam, the only option I get is a check box to select "receive all incoming beams". What about outgoing beams. Am using stock Orange ROM.
was the option to allow bluetooth file transfers enabled also? it has to be enabled for the phone to accept incoming files

You do not need to pair devices for file transfers. Delete the association on each device and if the receiving device is set to 'Discoverable' you will pick them up when you select 'Beam'
Also, some PDA devices have different levels of transfer security that is non-adjustable and conflicts, go to 'Settings'-'Connections'-'Bluetooth'-'Security' and un-check the box for passkey Authentication for 'Beam'
You still have the choice of accepting or rejecting the file but to avoid idiot 'spamming' on BT it is best to revert to non-discoverable when in public places.

Under Start>Settings>Connections (tab)>Beam, the only entry is "receive all incoming beams". The rest of the page is blank. Certainly nothing about accepting incoming files.
Hello all,
This is my first post and request for help, I apologise if this is in the wrong section and would gladly abide if anyone tells me what I've done wrong. Moving onto the problem, I would appreciate if anyone could provide suggestions on how I might tackle the problem.
Problem:
When I turn on my HTC One as a portable wifi hotspot, devices that try to connect to it will always have an authentication problem.
While it lists the number connected users on the HTC One, the device that connects to the HTC One does not have any internet connection or event shows itself as connected to the HTC One.
On the other hand, I know it's an authentication problem because I tried connecting it to a laptop and that's what the laptop lists the error as.
Extra: I am sure that prior to this the portable hotspot works fine. I doubt there’s any application I have that interferes with the functionality of the portable wifi but do let me know. If you think it’s a hardware problem then it should be under warranty. I tried connecting it to a Nexus 7 (2013), iPhone 5, and a laptop.
What I’ve tried: Turning on and off the phone, Turning of Tasker, Closing all programs I would really appreciate the help because I’ve tried searching for similar topics and have not found any.
Please help if you have any suggestion on what I could try, at least before I go to the phone provider to claim warranty or the likes.
EDIT: I can connect to the internet on my mobile data and I have 1gb of data allocated.
I posted this on reddit as well but as a new user, I can't put outside links.
I am having the exact same problem and its driving me wild. I recently had my HTC one replaced due to a fault and the new handset has this problem. I haven't tested it with any other devices but my Toshiba Excite Pro tablet.
Hello,
You guys know the old landline cabled phones ? So I still got one.
My problem is, i don`t know who`s calling me.
Its connected to the same router as my PC and my Z1.
On my PC i have found a program thats called NCID.NET. It shows me who is actually calling me. Everytime someone calls me, it shows the full
number on my pc Well nice, but my pc doesn`t run all the time, so i always miss a few calls
What i thought, my xperia Z1 is always running and connected to WiFi when i`m at home. Why couldn`t it show me, who is calling there?
I`ve been searching for an app like this a long time now but haven`t found nothing.
Maybe someone could point me where to look at, send me a link, or maybe if this kind of app doesn`t exist for android...- create one ?
I have got an Easybox router from Vodafone in germany.
Thanks
Kindest Regards
Hi,
is there a way to get always the same mac, because of that my mobile hotspot doesn't connect correctly.
I always have to add the new mac address to trusted devices.
I know a reboot is normally not necessary, but sometimes it happens, but this my cars fault.
Some tips?
Thanks
Frank
Somebody, Anybody?
Damn this is the only thread to show up with this problem when searching. Mine does it too
I emailed atoto they said their aware and working on the issue for the next update.
I guess you could wait or try to root and install a Mac id changer and set it yourself to stay the same?
Hi, this is now solved with the update released yesterday, check out the support site the update is big, so it won't go through the OTA.
Hello everyone, I just acquired this cell phone, my problem is when playing via wifi it throws me some ping ups which makes it unplayable. when I switch to using mobile data this doesn't happen.
I emphasize that I already tried this on another cell phone at the same time and it does not happen, only on my V40 and I don't understand why.
If someone had the solution I would be very grateful.
P.S. I already did the factory reset and the problem persists
I see this too.
It's an additional part of my problem I'm looking for a solution for in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/help/lg-v40-start-to-connect-to-cell-wifi-t4160391
Hope to see an answer for us. I'm betting they're somehow connected through the system not being able to decide what service to connect to ... and maybe in that answer will be a "why" and "solutions".
