Bluetooth in Win 8.1 doesn't receive file from other devices

First of all win 8.1 is the worst. The bluetooth connectivity is so tough that you have to restart your machine to connect to a device. Question is how to receive a file from a other device through bluetooth? PS: Win 7 connectivity was so much smoother, faster and easy!! Why MS why, do you make evrything difficult!

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  Here is a link to help you with resolving bluetooth issue in windows 8.  But as for the question you have asked Microsoft I will have to provide you another link for that. HP PCs - Using Bluetooth Devices (Windows 10, 8) And. Troubleshoot problems with Bluetooth enabled devices Now on a lighter note bluetooth was never really a champion of data transfer.  It can be compared to pushing a watermelon through a garden hose.  It is slower than dialup when it comes to data. Picking another connection media would be a better choice.

  • TS2755 iPhone 5 on ios7 doesn't receive messages from other iPhones when data is turned off

    My iPhone 5 doesn't receive iMessages or texts from other iPhones when my data is turned off, obviously I do not expect to receive iMessages but I also cannot receive text messages. Text messages can be sent but not received. Text messaging to and from people with androids and blackberries is fine.

    That is because iPhone users would be sending you iMessages. The only time you would receive them as a text is if they have theirs turned off, or it is set to send an SMS if iMessage fails. At some point you had iMessages activated, and if so, that is how the iDevices will send to you.

  • Cannot receive files from other brands of phone through Bluetooth.

    Hi, I'm having trouble with Bluetooth on my 8320 curve. I can Bluetooth music and picture files to Sony ericsson phones, but when these phones try to Bluetooth these types of files to me, even after pairing has been achieved, and passkeys entered etc., a message comes up on their screens saying that the 'connection has failed'. This has happened every time any files have been sent to me.
     Could anybody help me with this? Many thanks.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    See this KB:
    KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
    Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending device. Do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Gnome-Bluetooth cannot receive files from Nokia Lumia 810

    To whom it may concern,
    I opened a  bug report stating that I cannot receive files from my Nokia Lumia 810 using gnome-bluetooth. According to Nokia, it should be able to (and they claimed they tested it themselves during my phone call with them). The bug report is FS#33348. I'd appreciate if anyone could assist me on this problem.

  • Why doen't iphone receive texts from other iphones.

    I have recently bought iphone 5C for the first time, I have had an ipad for a long time which I use for imessages through wifi.   I thought that when I am out and about away from wifi I would receive sms/text from other iphones like I had with my previous basic mobile, but this doesn't happen, although I can send texts to other iphones.  Also when I return to a wifi area imessage that have been picked up by my ipad then don't appear on my iphone.  When both the iphone and ipad are using wifi when an imesssage is received the message appears on both devices.  Is this usual as I would like to receive texts from other iphones as it could be important. 

    Is iMessage turned on your phone?    It doesn't sound like it.
    I would disable iMessage on BOTH your iPad and iPhone.   Enable it on iPhone first, then iPad 2nd.
    Try again and let us know if it's working properly.

  • How do I get received messages from others to show up on my different Apple devices, such as my iPhone

    How do I get received messages from others to show up on my different Apple devices, such as my iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, etc. I can see their reply on the device I was using at that moment but not on the other devices even iMessaging is turned on. Is there a way to refresh to incoming messages when one picks up one of their other Apple devices?

  • I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

    I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

  • I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    Do not worry about it.
    Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
    You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

  • Java receive files from different station ??

    Hi,
    I would like that a station can receive files from different stations in the same time.
    For that, I use multi-threading (with different socket TCP). I have just a problem, sometimes files received are empty or contains just the last line of file. I don't know why, I saw all datagrams on the network but at reception sometimes it reads just the end.
    The class to receive file functions when it receives just one file, but when files comes at the same time there are some problem.
    Is there a problem of thread ? (I start a thread but I don't know where stop it) or a problem in my class for receive file:
    For sending a file:
    while((len = fis.read(buffer,0,1024))!= -1)
              os.write(buffer, 0, len);
                   new LogFile().writeLogFileError     
    For receiveing file:
    while((len = is.read(buffer,0,1024))>=0)
    fos.write(buffer, 0, len);
    //when theres a problem, I receive -1 the first time, but I am sure data are sent to this station
    Is someone had same problem ?
    Thank you
    Maryline

    Maryline,
    its probably a better idea to use Stream Sockets, as opposed to datagrams, as the datagrams can be delivered in any order (hence end of file so soon possibly).
    On the Server Station do the following:
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    private final int SERVER_PORT = 4567;
    private final int SERVER_BACKLOG = 100
    ServerSocket  server = new ServerSocket( SERVER_PORT, SERVER_BACKLOG );
    while (true) {
      Socket s = server.accept();
      //Start a new thread and pass the Socket s to it.
    }You also need to create ObjectInputStreams and ObjectOutputStreams to read and write the data
    ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream( s.getInputStream() );
    ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream( s.getOutputStream() );
    output.flush();On the client, you use
    Socket s = new Socket( SERVER_MACHINE_NAME, SERVER_PORT )
    ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream( s.getOutputStream
    output.flush();
    ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream( s.getInputStream() );
    () );You can then use
    output.writeObject( ANY_SERIALIZABLE_JAVA_OBJECT );to send the object, and
    JAVA_OBJECT_TYPE myObject = (JAVA_OBJECT_TYPE) input.readObject();to recieve the object.
    If its text data, you could read the data into a string field and send it
    I hope this gives you some ideas to hepl towards your solution
