I try to send pictures to nokia 6600 and I don't know how??? I can set up bond for nokia 6600 and received the pictures. Is anyone know how to send pics by using bluetooth filesharing on XDA II?

hey mate,

last time i did this; transfer files to a nokia phone, was like april. so i'm a little rusty but i'll try to remember what i did.

basically i turned on my bluetooth and my friend did the same. i then used the xda2's infared app; if i remember correctly when i tried sending him the file the ir didn't work but rather the bluetooth took over. thus i DO remember being able to send him pics and wav files. another thing i also did was used file explorer. go to the file you want to send; then put your stylus on the file name but don't release it (don't lift your stylus); after around 2-3 seconds a small menu should appear with the options: cut, copy, rename, delete, send via email, beam file and set as today wallpaper (if it's a pic). click on beam file; i think this goes back to the first explaination i did where i used the ir app. again; instead of the file beinng sent via ir; the bluetooth app takes over and the file gets sent. as long as the bluetooth apps in both devices are working; it should be able to send. oh; before i forget when you're about to send; the app will search first for all available devices. when you see you're friend's profile you then click on it. if i remember there'll be a button "send file" or something; you then click on it and wait for a few seconds. confirmation should be seen on your screen and possible a sound on your friend's phone. hope that helps.

cheers
