[Q] Bluetooth from Mac: Only see directories!

Hi, All,
When I'm browsing my Captivate from my MacBook, I only see directories, no individual files. Any idea why? I'm able to browse my Nokia E71 and see files with no problems.
Thanks,
Bill

Totally thread necromancy here but I have the exact same problem. I can drag new files into the bluetooth file exchange window and they do show up on the phone's storage but the operation completes with no feedback. I cannot get the phone itself to send a file via bluetooth to the Macbook, however. I've tried watching the logs both in ADB and watching the system.log on the Macbook. Nothing really useful shows up.
I'm running stock Froyo on the phone and 10.7 on my new MacBook Air.

Same as the above. Anyone have a solution?

[Q] Bluetooth file transfer

With official AT&T upgrade (2.2), I can connect to the phone from my Macbook Pro via Bluetooth, and browse.
I see all the directories, but no files at all.
Also, the "Send" button is grayed out, so I cant send files to my phone.
Is Bluetooth file transfer broken on this release?
Or am I just doing something wrong?

Get bluetooth file transfer app in market.

I haven't experienced any issues with bluetooth file transfer since the update. Running stock 2.2 Captivate, and a Windows 7 64 bit OS.

I see the same thing on my Mac, has been the same across multiple Captivate ROMs. I presume it's a Mac / Galaxy compatibility issue.

[Q] Streak 7-USB driver for vista/XP Help

Hey Folks, I am a noob and stuck. I just got wifey the Dell Streak 7 on black friday special and being that its running Honeycomb, there is no USB driver. I called "Dell" which was a joke and after talking to several people I was told that the drivers wont be out there for several weeks.. (WTF).. I have gone through most of the forums for info but stuck.
I have a laptop running Vista, and my work computer that is running XP and need direction as too what I need to download to get the show on the road. I just want a way for me to access the tablet or SDcard through the USB cord.
I keep seeing references to ADB, and laslow site but those posts are referencing to those running Windows 7, or am I wrong. Any and all help for this lost noob would be gr8.

Ok if you bought it new with Honeycomb on it then you bought the wifi version I assume. Anyway, all Honeycomb devices switched protocols, they are no longer USB Mass Storage devices, they are recognized and media players, so you should see a Portable Media Devide under My Computer if you have the latest version of Windows Media Player on your laptop...
OK, THAT being said, in my personal opinion it's the worst decision Google could've ever made. SO what I do is install a little app called Samba File Sharing, which allows you to connect to the 7 as a network device and have access to it's SD contents just like any other device connect to your computer.
Hope this helps. You have to set up a few parameters like network name and workgroup and such but it only takes about 1 minute and well worth the trouble

Thank you for that tip.

Some devices require MTP, the s7 in this case isnt one of them. The s10 is though.
It's up to the rom maker to decide which one to use to use either MTP or USBMSD, depending on how the internal memory is organized.
Regardless MTP allows you to simultaniously access the device on a pc while using it on the device itself. With USBMSD you can only use it on one or the other.
The S10 has /sdcard as a symlink to /data/media, so you simply cant mount it or you'd unmount the entire /data partition (which would be very bad). The galaxy nexus is the same way, hence it requiring MTP mode.
The S7 has /sdcard as a seperate partition, I'm guessing mainly for the ability to simultaniously access it.
Fastboot+ADB.zip has every driver for every dell device.

[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.

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

First thoughts and current issues

Mine arrived yesterday, so I have not had much time to "play". But here are my first impressions and the issues I have found.
First impressions (coming from an LG G3).
It is super fast. I really like that.
The phone signal strenght seems better. So, either they "lie" on the display or the antenna is better.
No bloat - nice.
I got the 128Gb one. Loads of free memory and storage. I like that.
Screen is OK.
It came with dual sim slots which I didn't know - I can now use both sims in one phone.
Now, issues:
It won't connect to my PC. I get a "USB device not recognised" error. Spent ages chatting with their techie and I need to put it into USB debug mode and the load an ADB driver which they could not provide. How STUPID is that.
The capacitive button lights are so dim as to be unusable and only come on as you press on the spot. What is the point of that?
Bluetooth won't connect to my headset (MPows) unless I put it into APTX mode.
Bluetooth connects to my car for phone, but while it tries to play audio, there is nothing there. I have loaded some music and it plays OK using VLC. Maybe the music is in the wrong place but I have no idea how to check.
If anyone has any idea on my first issue, I would be grateful for some help.

I had this issue, it would appear to fairly common. What worked for me was the following.
1) Disconnect your phone and restart windows. (Restarting windows was necessary for me as attempting to connect the phone and it failing caused something that was only cleared by a reboot).
2) Enable developer options and on the phone and select USB debugging mode.
3) While you are in developer change Select USB Configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
4) Check step 3) actually stuck. It takes a few goes for me and others for some reason.
5) Connect it to your PC
6) Hopefully it will mount as a drive called Oneplus Drivers or something similar (can't remember the exact name). In this driver is a setup up for the USB driver installation. Run it as admin and install.
7) If that all worked you should now have the mounted drive described above and your Oneplus 5 as a separate mounted MTP device in explorer which you can access the internal storage from.
For me, I can't disconnect and reconnect without rebooting windows and repeating steps 3,4 & 5 above. There is clearly either a bug in Oxygen or a driver issue that needs resolving but hopefully this will work for now. For info, with the phone connected my PC won't shut down. It does boot to the login screen but won't actually show the login prompts! Weird.

Thnks Chris. At the moment, I can't get MTP mode to "Stick". I'll keep trying. I may have also found some ADB drivers (on my laptop which is not near me at the moment).

One more issue - playing music over bluetooth, it occasionally "stutters" and I hear what appears to be a very small gap in the music - about 1/10th second - but noticeable. Has anyone seen (heard) this?

I have had this with a previous phone, not this one. What does the catlog say during the stutter? Mine showed errors regarding the Bluetooth communication, does yours do that? This can help you find out if it's software or hardware.
My capacitive buttons seem dimm as well, haven't really noticed that before..

AT,
What is the catlog? Where do I find that?

Alan,
If you try and set MTP mode a few times it will stick. However, the text under Select USB Configuration will still say "Charging" unless you leave the Developer options menu and go back in again. Then it should say "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)".

Chris,
You are a star. That worked and I can now see my internal storage.
Thank you
I just have to find out why my 2016 BMW will not see the music over bluetooth now (my old LG G3 worked fine)

Haven't tried to mount to PC yet. Surprising it isn't like the oneplus 3 where it mounts a separate drive on the PC with the drivers?

The only thing I can think to do is delete the phone from the car's memory entirely. Delete the connection from the phone entirely, and start all over. You may have done that, but on my 2013 Veloster I have had times where I needed to just start over completely. Having said that, no problems out of the box for me so far with the OP5 in my car, bluetooth gym headphones, or either bluetooth speaker I use. It's been very easy.

I tried that - still the same. The attached picture shows what I get.
This is my last major issue with this phone.....
Alan

Onother issue i just found out...
Maybe someone else found a fix, but i didnt....
With my OP2 i always conncted e Little USB adaptor with a micro sdcard in it to the phone to Transfer Music or any other files to or from the phone. When i connected it to the phone it imidiatly was recognized and in the filemanager one more Folder was created to manage These files.
But on my OP5 nothing happens....... can someone help?
Edit: last Oxygen Update, OTG is on, USB Debugging is on

Yeah, I think TechTablets on Youtube also mentioned USB-on-the-go not working on his OnePlus 5.

Would be sad without that feature because always connecting to my PC wouldnt be such comfortable for filetransfer....
Hope that the developer from Oneplus will fix it in future

Had an issue with the APN for T-Mobile in the US. I had data and could make VOLTE calls etc but email through TypeApp or Blue mail would not sync and various other programs had issues (connection errors), over wireless at the house everything was fine. I added the APN suggested by T-mobile haven't had an issue since. All I changed was the APN protocol to IPv6/IPv4 (was just IPv6) and removed hipri and supl from the APN type.
Everything works as it should.

hey I want to ask a question
is the camera on the op5 worse than the note 5 ?

In the advanced settings I noticed a Bluetooth codec option which might help.
I haven't tested it on the car yet. mines a 17 VW so will test it

I've tried changing the codec - no difference.

another annoiing issue....it changes network from O2/4G LTE to EPlus 3G. So i disabled automatic network and switched manual to O2 again. But the same....it really s...ks, because most time it runs with Edge only
tapatalked...

Only issue I have at the moment is too sensitive autorotation of the screen. Even though the rotation happens very fast, I would prefer it not turning in the first place if phone is rotated only few degrees. I wish there was a way to adjust the angle when to rotate the screen.
