Bluetooth contact transfer

I have a great new phone called the iPhone yet it can not do the simple task of sending a contacts card via bluetooth to another phone. It is a task my very old Nokia 6600 could do. It is something the iPhone could do if it was programmed to do it. So why Apple did you leave this basic feature out. You can't claim battery life because you now have 3G and that drains batter life big time (this is also true for Stereo bluetooth which would be great to have while I am working out, plus you give the option of turning on and off both 3G and bluetooth. So please start implementing basic features to a capable device. You are Apple. You can make anything easy. I am sure you already have a solution.

Successful Bluetooth Contacts Transfer - BMW iDriv...

This is a cross post for a solution which worked for an E65 and 6110 Nokia in a 2008 BMW 320i with iDrive my girlfriend just bought. Note it'd therefore have the latest BMW firmware... but I'm not sure that's the issue. It seems to be Nok related... specifically, S60 based phones. A link to identify S60 phones is http://www.s60.com
Background:
- Both phones are 6 to 9 months old. My E65 had already received a firmware update some time ago.
- Neither phone would transfer contacts to the BMW. Both worked fine in all other ways.
- I tried many combinations of the "sync profile" method detailed previously and found it would not work.
- I tried to "send contacts" from the contact list to the BMW and that would not work.
- I tried to "data transfer" from the phone and found the BMW was not supported.
- I downloaded and installed the "Nokia 810 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3rd edition devices" from http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881 and found that didn't work.
Solution 1: SUCCESSFUL
- I updated the "Nokia Firmware Downloader" under the instructions of PC Suite which I already had installed.
- I updated the firmware on my E65 and enjoyed that it wiped my contacts.
- I deleted the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- I added one simple contact to the phone contacts list.
- I checked the installed "Contact Download Application" was running on the phone.
- I paired the phone and car and immediately saw a transfer of the contact I had entered.
So happy with my win, I set about repeating the process with the 6110 taking on board a few lessons, but also attempting to streamline for others.
Solution 2: FAILED***
- I deleted the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- I checked the installed "Contact Download Application" was running on the phone.
- I paired the phone and car and nothing seemed to happen, even after a few tries at reinitiating the Bluetooth connection by switching the car on and off.
I figured there was a requirement that the phone's firmware be updated, so started again.
Solution 3: SUCCESSFUL
- I set about doing backups using PC Suite and also the phone's system for saving content to the memory card.
- I updated the 6110 using PC Suite noting my girlfriend has better luck than I as all her contacts remained.
- I deleted the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- I checked the installed "Contact Download Application" was running on the phone (it had remained installed despite the firmware update).
- I paired the phone and car and nothing seemed to happen, even after a few tries at reinitiating the Bluetooth connection by switching the car on and off and on again.
- Whilst staring at the miserable POS for a while (and pointlessly poking with the "Contact Download Application") I noticed the transfer commence and all contacts come across from the phone to the car.
- I estimate it took 2 minutes for the transfer to commence with the 6110, and note it did not have a particularly large number of contacts. Once it stared it was damned quick.
I was, of course, totally chuffed and guaranteed an excellent breakfast.
I propose someone try the above method with an N95 to the letter to see if it works. Don't shortcut and make sure everything is the absolute latest revision. Hopefully all goes well and someone else can try the following.
SOLUTION 4: UNPROVEN
- Ignore firmware updating on phone.
- Delete the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- Download and install the "Nokia 810 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3rd edition devices" from http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881 .
- Check the installed "Contact Download Application" is running on the phone.
- Pair the phone and car then reinitiate the Bluetooth connection by switching the car on and off and on again.
- WAIT for the transfer to commence and all contacts to come across from the phone to the car.
I really hope this progresses some of the S60 operating system connectivity issues out there, and highlight that as of last night I was a total noob. It's all trial, error, analysis and patience!

Steve many thanks for the explanation of how to download and use "Contact Download Application".
I have a June 2008 135i convertible and needed a phone with 3G capability.
I had a Nokia 6300 and the contact download worked just fine - but no 3G.
Our company sponsored E61 and E65 would not do the automatic contact transfer.
I did the "contact download application" activity described earlier on this thread. Got it running in background on the phone. Paired the phone to car. Waited ten minutes. Hey presto, the "contact transfer" notification comes up on the mobile phone and all contacts transferred. The E61 and E65 now work the same as the "supported" 6300.
(I didn't bother to do any phone firmware updates).
Hope this helps!

Bluetooth contact transfer and creating photo album

Ok, generally I am technical and can figure this stuff out quickly but have not been able to yet.
I have a need to transfer my entire contact list via bluetooth to my car. In my windows phone i could just choose select all contact then send via bluetooth. How is this accomplished in andoid?
I have transferred 3 directories of photos from my pc to the micro sd card in my phone. I am able to see them on the android photo app but they appear in a single album. How do you create albums in the photo app? Can't you specify that each subdirectory is a different album?
Why is android so user-hostile compared to windows phone?
HELP PLEASE.

Not all car stereos support this option, this is controlled by the bluetooth supported stacks in the device, usually as technology is upgraded older devices can not communicate on the profile because of the update... If I had to guess the update 2.3.4 OS us using a new bluetooth stacks that the stereo does not support so there isnt any way to get this to work simply..

The reason they are showing in the same directory is because you copied them into the same folder, you need to seperate the items into different folders to have them display in different directory..
Why is android so user-hostile compared to windows phone?
All OS has their own unique ways of handlings files and data and if you are accustom to using one platform everything different take some getting use to... Android hands data and file much better than a windows device would in my opinion..
Give it time to learn the OS and then you will come to like it better..
HELP PLEASE.
Hope this helped clarify things...

Lumia 710 /Carkit112/Contacts transfer/Bluetooth

Just taken a Lumia 710 and want to connect to existing carkit112. Phone recognises the kit's existence but just says "cannot connect" No option to enter password given. Anybody got any clues?
Also can't transfer phone book from old Samsung by bluetooth using Contacts transfer. It goes through preparation, recognises the phone, sends it a code then just says "cannot transfer"

All later versions of bluetooth are backward compatible and should work, albeit with reduced functionality and lower speeds.
However, bluetooth profiles may cause problems if not supported. Lumia 710 only supports the following profiles but am unable to check CARK112 profiles. Profile supported by Mumia 710 are A2DP 1.2, AVCTP 1.0, AVCTP 1.3, AVDTP 1.0, AVDTP 1.2, AVRCP 1.0, GAP, GAVDP 1.2, HFP 1.5, HSP 1.1, IOP, L2CAP, PBAP 1.0, RFCOMM 1.0, SDP.

Can't Find VZ Contact Transfer App For iPhone 5

I have been trying to transfer my contacts on to my iphone 5. The only app that comes up in the app store is Backup Assistant but Verizon says it's not supported on the iphones and to search for VZ Contact Transfer but it does not exist. All that comes up when I search is Backup Assistant. backup Assistant won't get me past the security verification code. It rejects every code every time. I love getting a new piece of equipment that proves itself to be a big *** on the most important thing like getting my contacts transferred. But hey I can play Angry Birds all freaking day long now WOW!
Any help would be appreciated before I test my insurance plan throwing this across the room.

OK so before I share my solution I need to rip Verizon for having so much mixed and bad information on their site that needs to be taken down or corrected. In their Support section they clearly clearly state Backup Assistant does not work on iPhones 4, 4S, 5 etc.. so the clearly clearly state to use VZ Contact Transfer but it does not exist in the App Store. Customer Service had no idea and absolutely could not help me. I've seen some people use Backup Assistant successfully on their iPhone 5's but I could not get it past a verification code that Customer Service could not help me on.
ANYWAY...on to solutions. If your phone supports it try synching up your phones via Bluetooth and send your address card from the old phone to the new.
In my case I ended up grabbing the MyContacts .csv file and bringing it into my computer, imported to Gmail and then using the following link to import into my iPhone.
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
Now I have my contacts and Verizon gets a big GIANT goose egg zero from me. I applaud good service as much as I let others know about bad service. I'm in a customer service related field so I understand the effects of one person with a bad experience...they tend to tell lots of people!

Samsung Charge - Hyundi Santa Fe Bluetooth File Transfer

I connect via bluetooth between the subject devices but cannot effect a file transfer of contacts from phone to car. Have tried the Bluetooth Fike Transfer app but it errors and doesn't work. Any idea whe Samsung will add the ,issing drivers to do this file transfer or any other suggestions? Kind of screwa up the purpose of "hands free driving" if you can't voice dial a contact. Thanks,

Hello billhotchmuth,
I understand the convenience that you can get from having the voice dial feature fully integrated to your car. May I ask what year is your vehicle? Do you have the Touch Navigation system or just standard audio? I have referenced our Charge Car Bluetooth guide and Hyundai's Bluetooth site and at this time the Charge does not have a listed compatibility with Hyundai vehicles. While this does not mean it shouldn't pair at all but some features may not be available. If you provide the vehicle details I can see what can be done to forward this information to Samsung. Please let me know if I can assist further.

Bluetooth Contacts and Photos - Lumia 925

I have been loyal to Nokia since mobile phones were invented. I found I was unable to transfer Contacts from my Lumia 800 to my Mercedes C class, so kept my trusty Music Xpress 5800 on a PAYG contract. I have now just upgraded to a Lumia 925 and found I still can't transfer Contacts to my car phonebook by Bluetooth or transfer Photos by Bluetooth to print hard copies in a photo booth. Please can someone let me know in the next 3 days how to do this, otherwise I will have to return my Lumia 925 and swap it for an iPhone. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried unpairing both ends and then repairing? I have no problems pairing with BMW's. They even read my incoming text messages out for me.

VZ Contact Transfer will not work on Wi-Fi; Synch with iTunes sets up mail

VZ Contact Transfer goes into a loop with Verizon iPhone connected to your Wi-Fi and does not work.
Your wi-fi network will come up right after registering VZ iPhone. You could wait until later to allow it to connect.
Otherwise, disconnect router to force iPhone onto Verizon 3G network and proceed. If you click the change phone number button, it will get you a new access code to your old Verizon contacts from Verizon back up. (Back up before signing up on iPhone)
Took me hours of fooling around to learn this on another bulletin board.
Also after hours of fooling around to set up mail, synched iPhone thru iTunes to mail, calendar, etc and the email accounts set themselves up.
Hope this saves you some time
Enjoy!

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.

Disable Bluetooth File Transfer - Windows 7

How do I disable Bluetooth file transfer for Windows 7? I am planning to see if it can be done via Group Policy (custom adm or GPP) or by creating a power shell script.
I read the existing questions here but its getting me nowhere. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0a04b41b-05a8-4d7b-9ae0-212137cc4af7/restrict-bluetooth-file-transfer?forum=winserverGP

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For Bluetooth devices, try this :

If it doesn't work, You may also try to use GPP Services to disable the Bluetooth Support Service (BthServ).

Nokia lumia 610 ringtone,and bluetooth file transf...

i have nokia 610 and i have donwloaded a ringtone from marketplace i mean song and i want to set it as my ringtone
what should i do in order to set that song as my ringing tone pls tell
and more thing if i want to send any file to other mobile do i need a special software or anything like that
thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Once you have downloaded and saved the new ringtone, you can set it as your ringtone by going to Settings>Ringtones&Sounds>Ringtone, Scroll to the top because this is where you will find all your downloaded ringtone. Just select the one you want to use.
Your Lumia 610 does not support bluetooth file transfer for the moment. However, this feature will be added with the next WP7.8 update which is due soon. In the mean time you can transfer files to other phones by using Skydrive or by emailing.

If you lose your phone, will your unread messages, missed calls and contacts transfer

I don't know why it's such a hard question to find the answer to, but I can't figure it out. If you've lost your phone, when you get your number put on a new phone, will the:
Contacts transfer?
Will you have your un-read messages?
Will you see your missed calls?
Will you have your voicemails?
Please, someone help me out here

Will you have your un-read messages? As long as they had not been delivered to your phone yet(for texts). If they had been delivered to your phone but you just hadn't read them, then no. For emails, as long as they have not been deleted from the server.
Will you see your missed calls? Don't really think so.
Will you have your voicemails? Depends on what kind of phone you had and will have. For example an iPhone utilizes a different voicemail system than any other phone(of course it does, its an Apple product) and voicemails will not transfer to/from an iPhone to any other type of device. Any other phone, they should.
Please, someone help me out here
Edit: Verizon only tries to deliver text messages for 5 days. If you have not had a phone active on your line for more than that length of time, you will start to lose some of your "un-read" messages.

Verizon Contact Transfer and sorting contacts

I used Verizon's Contact Transfer and it worked great. I've went into Settings : Mail,Contact,Calendars : Contacts Sort Order and Display Order and have set both to First,Last. Contacts are displaying by first name but are sorting by last name. I cannot get them to sort by last name.

Sorry....I cannot get them to Sort by First name

Bluetooth file transfer from BB Z10 to Windows 7 Laptop

I have my BBZ10 (OS 10.2.0.424) successfully paired with Windows 7 Laptop. I often use the BBZ10 BT Internet Teethering. It works very well.
However, when I want to transfer a file from BBZ10 to my Laptop. I follow this process
In the background the Internet Teethering is ON, and working
select the file in Z10 File Manager.
click on share icon to share using BLUETOOTH
Before pressing the name of my paired devices on Z10. I click Bluetooth icon on laptop and select 'receive a file'. This opens a box showing the laptop is waiting in receive mode.
Then I select my paired computer name on Z10 to initiate transfer.
The transfer bar appears on Z10 showing the progress, but in 4-5 seconds, it says 'TRANSFER CANCELLED'.
And on my laptop it says 'BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER NOT COMPLETED'.
i have used exactly same process with my BB 9800 several times with success.
Another thing I note is, if the Internet teethering is OFF, I cannot turn BT connection to the laptop on. It come up with error message ' Cant' connect , you must turn on internet teethering on yoru device.'
Please troubleshoot.

hi eddie-n200,
Can you send a file from the laptop to the cellphone? If you can, check if the "Allow remote devices to browse, send, and receive pictures, music, and other files" option is enabled on the BT settings:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
As an alternative, you may also want to try Bluesoleil or similar software to send/receive from the laptop.
Edit: Added image
Hope this helps
