Browse cell phone through Bluetooth

I am a relatively new mac user and I am trying to browse my cell phone using bluetooth. I have tried it using more than one cell phone. When the box opens that says browsing it remains empty and does not allow me to access any of my files on the phone. What am I doing wrong?

The File Sharing checkbox is for sharing files between Macs via Bonjour or network connection, so it doesn't apply to Bluetooth phones.
In the Bluetooth system preferences pane, click on your phone on the left-hand side, and then have a look to see what Services it reports as having on the right-hand side. Also, check that it say's 'Yes' alongside 'Paired'

MacBook Pro won't see jpg files while browsing Samsung phone via bluetooth

I have been searching the forums for at least an hour or two and cannot find an answer. I have a Samsung SGH -A767, and when I "Browse Device" I cannot see the jpgs on my phone. Both are turned on and discoverable, and connect fine. I can send files from my Macbook to my phone with no problem, I can send individual files from my phone to my macbook with no problem when sent using the phone's controls. When I "browse" my phone's file folders, however, I can see the folders and the audio files within, but I cannot see the hundreds of .jpg's I have taken with my phone. I DO see, however, only three jpgs -- the three .jpg's that I have sent over from the macbook.
Please help! I take a lot of pics with my phone and I dont want to have to send each file over individually one by one, that will take hours!
Thanks in advance!

I am not an HP employee.

I currently having problems when dialling with my 4S either from the contacts list, or when using the phone through bluetooth to my in-car system. The phone becomes confused regarding what method / route of connection handsfree, normal use or speaker.

Hi each time i use my 4S phone a dial from the contact list, the phone will not select a communication mode, either normal speaker or handsfree (car), I have to force the phone into speaker mode and the back to normal mode before I can speak to or listen to anyone. The annoying aspect is the recipient of my call can answer but cannot hear me nor I them.
What am I doing wrong, or is there an issue with the phone. The same situation occurs when the phone is used with bluetooth in my car, the previous iphone worked perfectly can you please advise.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information.

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!

It sounds like your computer may be infected with some sort of a virus / Malware.
I suggest the following resources:
[[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware |Is my Firefox problem a Result of Malware]] is a Mozilla Support article with some good tips on avoiding and fighting malware.
To double check your system is clean, do the following (Not official Mozilla advice, just good practice from personal experience)

How do I send photos from my cell phone to my macbook air?

I have an LG Optimus F3 cell phone with bluetooth. I thought I could wirelessly transfer photos from the phone to my Macbook Air.
I successfully paired these two devices, but when I go into the Bluetooth menu and select the Bluetooth for my Macbook Air, the phone shows "No nearby Bluetooth devices found" and in System Preferences in the Air, it shows my phone as "Not Connected". I can't figure out what I have missed! Help please!

Thanks for the info! Yes, my phone supports Bluetooth transfers and I had previously successfully paired both the phone with the Air and vice versa. I also checked out the Air manual and the phone manual and everything was correct.... but, I gave up after several attempts and ended up emailing the photos from my phone. It took a while but, it worked. Next time I see my son, I will go over it with him becuase he is much more Mac savvy than I am! I appreciate the input. Thanks again!

Music on hold that sounds good on a cell phone..?

What is the secret to MOH sounding good on the cell phone? We have tried the built-in MOH file, tried uploading an MP3 via OfficeManager, and plugged in Muzack via the external port. All sounds good internally, all sound terrible on a cell phone. I have read some audio-techy articles on why this is true for hold music in general (not just Cisco), but what I really need to know is the tweak to CLI needed to make it sound right, if such a tweak exists..
thanks!

I have resolved this issue and I am posting the resolution to the forum to help others.
I confirmed the UC560 preferred codec was G.711, secondary was G.729. I checked it in CLI.
I contacted AT&T. By far the worst part of this ordeal was AT&T. Basically, you have to call VOIP support and ask for tier-2. No one at tier-1 (or AT&T support-by-email!) knows what a CODEC is or even how its spelled. Tier-2 knows how its spelled, but will send you to tier-3. Shockingly, my tier-3 support person knew all about poor quality MOH with G729. She logged into the router at my client (which was Cisco) and changed the preferred CODEC to G.711 and secondary to G.729. But that didn't fix it. I had to go back to tech support tier-1 and ask for a call-back. Shockingly, tier-3 called back within 30 minutes. This time she forced all incoming calls to G.711 and outgoing calls were left at G.711/729. And now the MOH is much better!
Something else that was very handy was the fact the tier-3 person could track my test call from my cell phone through their system and confirm which CODEC was being used.
BTW, if you plan to switch CODECs, G.711 uses more bandwidth than G.729. Your provider should confirm you have enough bandwidth to make the switch.

Problems with cell phone bluetooth hackers

Hi there, I have been having problems with someone accessing my machine through the wireless bluetooth system. The logs prove it and there seem to be no way to shut down or dissable the modems. There is more than one it seems. I have reformated my drive and reloaded operaring system. As I was going throught the initial state of the machine like firewall settings printer settings and wifi, the changes that I was making were being changed back. I have checked the remote settings like the remote screen set up and and then a cell phone mac address poped up. Is there code that I can write to the EFI to not load this bluetooth because I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out. In my Sony Viao I had such a go around with this It took me almost six weeks before I gave in and took it in to the shop. Today I was setting up the home network and public came up an then 2 and 3 was below it. NTUSER.DAT is respocible and I can't get rid of that either because one is keeping the other running. Computers aren't supposed to be like this I know . IF someone could help I would appreciate all that I can get. Thanks in advance.

Bluetooth: Cannot pair MacBook Pro 15" (early 2009) and Nokia cell phones

When I try to pair my Nokia cell phone (E65) with my new MacBook Pro 15", the bluetooth assistant hangs after the input of the pairing code. I tried another Nokia cell phone in addition (N70), but had the same issue.
When I initiate the pairing by the phone, then the pairing process seems to be successful, but I still cannot use the bluetooth connection with the phone afterwards (e.g. browsing files on it, 3G internet connection). The connection becomes established for a few seconds, but then the phone is being disconnected.
I never had these problems using my old black MacBook. It still works when I try today. So it must be an issue of the new MBP.
I successfully paired the New MBP with my old MB via Bluetooth - could transfer files for example without any problems. Therefore I think that the Bluetooth hardware (Broadcom) seems to work properly.
The MacBook Pro 15" has the Broadcom chipset, while the old black MacBook has the Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset. Maybe there's an incompatibility between Broadcom and Nokia (?)
Any ideas? Thanks!

I also have an early 2009 15" MBP and am experiencing bluetooth pairing problems. When I first started this computer, I successfully paired my Sonyericsson HBH-DS980 headphones. While using this connection, I accidently lost the connection by moving out of range. After this, the headphones would not re-connect. I deleted the headphones from the MBP bluetooth configuration and tried unsuccessfully to discover and re-pair. I also have another pair of SE HBH-DS220s. They initially paired and worked properly with my MBP and again after loss of connection, would not re-connect or re-pair. I do not have this problem with my first generation MBP so I know it must be something with the bluetooth system in my new MBP. I don't know anything about Mac operating systems, but I bet there is some log file somewhere that is logging a bluetooth problem and thereby locking out that type of device. I would really appreciate a MAC guru's help.
Thanks
Dan

I am trying to pair my cell phone and tablet using Messages App, but only MMS messages will come through on my tablet. I've tried pairing and unpaired, reinstalling app on my tablet, and can't figure it out. Any idea how to fix this?

Support Line - Call Forward All through Hunt Pilot to cell phone

I know I may be beating a dead horse, but I've found so much help in these forums that I figured I'd give it a shot.
We have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition and we are running into a configuration issue. What we would like to do is to create an emergency support line for our IT staff. The way we would like this to function is that a caller dials a number, CM accepts the call and dials out to our IT staff's cell phone numbers in a round-robin fashion. To avoid the caller getting dumped into the IT staff's voice mail on their cells, we would like the staff member to have to dial a number to accept the call. If there is no answer, the call rolls to the next cell number. If no one is available, the caller should be directed to Unity Connection to leave a message. Unity then will send out text and email messages to the support staff.
I know that we can use Unity to perform an assisted transfer, which will require the user to press "1" to accept the call, and we are able to get Unity to send out the notifications (text and email) when a voice message is left. The issue is with Call Manager making the outbound calls to the cell phones.
What we have attempted is to setup DNs that call forward all to the users cell numbers. These DNs have been added to a Line Group, which has a Hunt Pilot attached to it. Any time this pilot is called, we get a reorder. Using the DNA, we see that "no device is associated with the DN", which is under the DN for the first users cell forward. If we add that DN as a second line to that users IP Phone (7940), then the call into the Hunt Pilot rings that line on the IP phone, not the CFA to the cell phone.
After weeks of digging around, it seems as though CFA in a Hunt is just not possible. My boss wants official word from Cisco about this, but TAC doesn't seem to want to help due to service contract issues (which blows my mind, as we have opened several cases in the past two months for configuration related issues). Our Business Edition came with Contact Center Xpress, although we do not have the resources available to install it. If CCX will carry out this task, that might be enough to push management into getting another server to support this, but without being able to play around with it, I don't know.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work, I would GREATLY appreciate the help!
Thanks in advance,
-Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Always interesting isn't it :)
Call Forward settings on individual Hunt member phones are ignored when presented a call via the Hunt feature. Here is a clip;
The concept of hunting differs from that of call forwarding. Hunting allows Cisco CallManager to extend a call to one or more lists of numbers, where each such list can specify a hunting order that is chosen from a fixed set of algorithms. When a call extends to a hunt party from these lists and the party fails to answer or is busy, hunting resumes with the next hunt party. (The next hunt party varies depending on the current hunt algorithm.) Hunting thus ignores the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) or Call Forward Busy (CFB) settings for the attempted party. This also applies to CFWD ALL settings.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803edabe.html#wp107892
So, any Forwarding settings have to be done on the Hunt Pilot itself. These Destination settings (on the Hunt Pilot) need to be configured to go to the Unity Voicemail Pilot # or perhaps this is where you Forward out to the Cell #;
Hunt Forward Settings
Forward Hunt No Answer - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is not answered in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
Forward Hunt Busy - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is busy in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
Maximum Hunt Timer - Enter a value (in seconds) that specifies the maximum time for hunting.(Used in conjunction with Forward Hunt Busy)
Maybe you could leverage these Unity Connection configs to achieve your desired results. These will ensure that the Message is not left unattended;
Cascading Message Notification
Cascading message notification allows you to send notifications to a widening circle of recipients. Cisco Unity Connection continues to send notifications according to the devices you selected until the message has been saved or deleted by a recipient.
For example, to create a cascade of message notifications for your Technical Support department,
Chaining Message Notification
Message notification can be set to "chain" to a series of notification devices if an attempt to send notification to the first selected device fails. The definition of failure to a notification device is based on the options you select for retrying a device that is not answered or is busy.

I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

I would also like this issue addressed.
I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.
