Bluetooth beam problems receiving files/items MDA2

[desmodromic]

Hi all,

Not sure whether this has been asked before (I searched the forum for it, but couldn't find any directly related subjects):

Does anyone have problems with receiving files from other phones/MDAs using Bleutooth?

I am experiencing problems with this: I can send files to other devices using bluetooth, but somehow I can't receive any files (it fails every time I try).


I already tried with enabling/disabling the incoming port, choosing a serial profile, etc, but nothing worked.

Does anyone have a a solution?

BTW: my bluetooth connections to my headset and BT GPS mouse all work.


Thanks in advance!

for receiving files from a pc, you pretty much need to have BT turned on that the devices paired. For receiving files from other handsets etc, you need to ensure that your device is discoverable to other devices in the BT settings (start->settings-> connection-> BT make sure both boxed are checked)

Thnx for the reply, but I already tried that. I put Bluetooth in several modes, on and discoverable. In both modes I could only send data, but couldn't receive data from other sources like another MDA or phone.

I also tried changin the inbound and outbound COM options, didn't work either.....

Can anyone help pls pls?

I have the same problem on my o2 xda exec.

I switch on bluetooth, & make it discoverable by other devices.

I can send files no problem but when i try to receive files from another phone, the other phone says "sending failed" all the time.

Ive tried with an established partnership and without, make my device discoverable, messed with the incoming/outgoing com port settings etc etc
pretty much everything i can think of but to no avail.

Anyone else had this problem and managed to over come it?

Ahah

Sorted it.

If you upgraded to the lastes o2 rom 1.13.188 the accept incoming beams is turned off by default.

Just enable start>settings>connections>beam "enable all incoming beams"

enable bluetooth, make your device discoverable.

Now you can receive files over bluetooth.
No need to mess with com incoming/outgoing ports.

Thnx Sirius-C! That should work indeed.
