Bluetooth BT Send file Problem

[les_garten]

I have two computers Win 7 32 bit and Win7 64 bit. One has an Apple BT Radio and the other has a Motorola BT radio. The both connect fine. PC Suite works fine. Outlook syncs fine. I can send files from the PC to the N900 no problems. If I try to send a file from the N900 via BT sharing I get a yellow bar that says: Connection failed to <PC Name>

It kicks back immediately, no waiting or looking.

Anybody else seen this? Any fixes?

I can boot into OSX and see if that works. My Apple is Dual boot WIN7 32bit and OSX.

I think this is a knowned problem with Widcomm drivers.If I install the official drivers of my bluetooth dongle I can send a file through bluetooth just fine.If I install any latest widcomm drivers then I cannot send any files to my PC.No solution to this, other than using the microsoft bluetooth drivers which suck!

Interested in the same.

On Nokia 770 I can send/ receive files to / from Motorola V3 phone.
Nokia 770 is not a phone and I use
File manager

Please tell me how to send/ receive vcard, phonebook entries, saved sms, incomming call calling party ID and more
and the only accessible directories on a phone are
video, audio, images

I have a work around I send files from my n900 to PC.
effectively the problem is the n900 didn't identify your computer with "OPP" blue tooth profile.

So what you have to do is delete the Blue tooth PC device from your n900.

Then select an image and send it via blue tooth. make sure your PC blue tooth profile is on and ready to receive a file. the n900 will find your PC and you can send it.

Now the n900 will identify your PC with the OPP profile so you can blue tooth files back back and forward.

but you will loose other profiles like A2DP etc. but you will be able to send files.

@timwatt

tell me what files on another phone can you access from N900,
what directories are access open
I am interested in vcard, phonebook, last calls made / received / missed
and more in phone standard

Kinda off topic here...

Ok, so that works Let me see what the down side is.

EDIT:

OK, but then you send one from the PC to the N900, you have to pair and now you're back where you were before. BUGCITY!

[les_garten]

So I fired up the OSX partition on my MacBook Pro that has the WIN7 32bit on it. The OSX pairs and does everything perfect. I call POO POO on Windows and the BT drivers here.

The BT controls in OSX were really nice. I guess I can file my bug with Microsoft...

nothing off topic

"Bluetooth BT Send file Problem"

It's a waste of time to start 10 BT send file threads

I asked the original question so I should be able to figure out if you're off topic or not. It was after all my topic, and what you are asking has nothing to do with protocol negotiation issues.

[Darius2006]

you are completely wrong

you said:
"
I can send files from the PC to the N900 no problems. If I try to send a file from the N900 via BT sharing I get a yellow bar that says: Connection failed to <PC Name>
"

I asked exactly about what files on N900 can be accessed via BT,
N900 meant as a phone
and vice versa
what files from N900 (as a phone) can be send or get from PC accessing N900.

Ok, if you wish and insist on to generate traffic
I can start another thread and ask the same questions again

Dude, you started talking about a 770 and wanted to know about what was being exported as a filesystem. All OT.

It was my topic and I can see a hijack of my topic.

Best thing, move on...

Do you work for iPhone ?

To be honest I have only been interested in sending image files to and from the n900, I haven't sent anything else. I did find out the OPP profile is for sending calender contact etc. So I cant actually answer your question.

So yes there are lots of bugs not sure where the problem lies, but my Bluetooth on the PC aloes me to send a file with out paring, so I can send files both ways.

[phyneex]

Try sending with Petrovich, it's been working fine for me.

[les_garten]

Doesn't work, same error.

If I don't pair, I can now send from N900 >> PC

But to go from PC >> N900 I have to Pair.

That Breaks the N900 >> PC so have to un-pair for that.

Same problem here...kind of sucks big time.

Simple things like this should not require hours of trial and error and failure and forum searches.

What is the point of having a content generating device (photos for example) if the content cannot be transferred to another device? Right now I have to email everything to myself.

Additionally even looking for the photos I took on the N900 while connected to the PC (Vista) in either Mass Storage or PC Suite mode is not possible. The photos cannot be found...

Not impressed.

Argh! I should have looked up this thread a long time ago...

I was hoping this problem had something to do with Petrovich, and was kind of expecting it to hopefully work with the new firmware. No such luck.

Well, it's great that there is at least one way to send files from the N900 to Win7... even if a bit clumsy. But then again, receiving files with Windows is not that much easier either, so not a big loss in the end I guess :) (Seriously Microsoft, how hard can it be to automatically accept files from authorized devices?)

Bah... I'll get my usb cable.

I still can't send anything to my MacBook

[travla]

PR 1.3 installed, running Windows XP SP3, and same problem, can send image from N900 to PC via BT.

Can anyone report as to whether deleting the pairing, initiating a send image via Bluetooth breaks the ability of the N900 to sync with the PC via PC Suite over BT? That is, do I need to "re-pair" to be able to sync via PC Suite over BT?

[Dead1nside]

I've just encountered this. I'm sorry but this is absolutely braindead why this doesn't work. What's the point in having a bluetooth send entry on PR1.3 if it doesn't work?

I've in the past successfully sent files from Linux PC -> N900, but I cannot send images from N900 -> Linux PC with or without prior pairing.

Edit: I just tried Petrovich with also no joy.

Both simply stall at the "Send to a device" prompt, as it scans but presumably because it doesn't think the PC has support for the right profile doesn't show it. The same dialog is in use in the Bluetooth device searching menu, however my PC gets recognised instantly. Please is there any way to fix this?

Thank you.

Edit 2: I just tried sending to another phone, that gets detected and goes through fine. When examining the PC and the other phone in the Bluetooth devices list, the only different profiles are SPP and DUN, neither of which I think are differences which would prevent the correct sending to the PC.

Is it any wonder that Nokia is spiraling down the crapper? They produced the greatest phone that ever was IMO, and it's like the never bothered to use it to see if it works?

The Phone functionality Blows chunks.

I wish they would open source the closed bits and let this community make it into a Legend, rather than a footnote, which is what it will pan out to be.

If they would Open Source the rest of it, I would buy like 5 of them, to keep for turnover.

[Dead1nside]

I agree with you les_garten -- if they're going to abandon it, and they have done, then can they not at least either fix some glaring bugs, or preferably open source these closed components? I don't see why they'd have an interest in, for example, keeping the calendar closed source.

Back to my problem though, does anybody else, especially running a Linux PC have problems sending via bluetooth from the N900? I really would appreciate some help. I can send to the N900, and the N900 does detect and is paired properly with my PC, but when it comes to sharing files it refuses to detect my PC, but it will seemingly detect other devices such as my other phone.

Thanks again.

Thank you. That led me to what the problem was, not the N900's fault.

For anybody else who has these issues with Linux (and in my case Fedora 14), you have to right-click the blueman-applet in the notification area (near the clock) and go to "Local Services"; Then choose "Transfer", and under "File Receiving (Object Push)", check
"Accept files from trusted devices".
