Receiving Bluetooth

I have just purchased a curve 8520 for the missus I have a problem with the phone not receiving Bluetooth from other devices (Phones) the blackberry will send bluetooth pics etc to my Sony ericcson with no issues it will also work correctly with a bluetooth headset yet when i try to send pics etc to the blackberry the bluetooth symbol quickly flashes then connection failed appears on the device sending the data to the blackberry. all visibility is activated and the device sending the data is visible to the blackberry and visa versa. this is a new phone and the missus not happy as we were trying to send contacts from 1 to the new blackberry . its as if its being blocked like a firewall. All help would be appreciated

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
See this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
If your other device is non-BB, then substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device. Unless you are on BB OS 6 or 7, do not skip the "Receive Using BlueTooth" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
Good luck and let us know!

Nokia 6288 and received bluetooth files

Hi all
i have a problem : i notice that when i receive files with bluetooth, it's stored automatically in gallery. I didn't find in bluetooth menu options, a way to store the received files in my memory card automatically...(because sometimes i received big files)
is there any solution to change the place of received files with bluetooth?
Regards,
toonssia

Nope, i cant choose the folder for receiving bluetooth files, either if the phone has enough phone memory it goes in phone memory and if there is no phone memory left it automatically goes into my memory card, i got 15kb of phone memory left to definatly make sure every file i recieve goes straight to the memory card.

Mac Pro Lion 10.7.5 will not receive bluetooth file from Macbook Leopard 10.5.8

Since late 2008, I have been running a 2.2GHz / 3,1 / 4GB MacBook, now at 10.5.8. A few days ago I bought a 2.66 GHz / 1,1 / 6GB Mac Pro, now at 10.7.5. I can not seem to get the Lion Mac Pro to successfully receive a 3.3mb file sent, via BLUETOOTH, from the Leopard Macbook. Sending the file, from the Leopard MacBook, usually, fails and gives the message, "There was an error connecting to the device". A few times I did get an incoming file alert on the Mac Pro and the file seemed to begin coming from the MacBook; however, the estimated time varied wildly and the file transfer eventually failed and displayed the aforementioned message. I have an android 2.3.6 phone and I was able to successfully send the same 3.3mb file to the Mac Pro in a matter of a minute, or so. I may downgrade the Mac Pro to 10.5.8, because I have important software/hardware that may not be supported on Lion, but, right now, I am trying to determine compatibility with my important Leopard software/hardware. For the time being, I want to send files to the Mac Pro via BLUETOOTH, as opposed to any other transfer method.

I don't know the answer to your problem, but until you resolve it do not upgrade OS X.
I would suggest you try a reinstall:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Use of Typecast in Receiving Bluetooth Data

Hi everyone, I am trying to establish communication between a Bluetooth transmitter (Server) and a Bluetooth receiver (client) located in a PDA, and display the result on the PDA. I have already setup the PDA and am able to delpoy applications to it from LabVIEW, and successfully establish pairing between the transmitter (via server address of the transmitter) and reveiver inside the Bluetooth. The only thing remaining is to capture the data on the receiving end. The Bluetooth transmitter is sending the datain the folllowing way:
Header of FFFF followed by the actual 8-bit data, then a 1 second delay. Then repeat.
I am looking at the Bluetooth Client example given in the LabVIEW examples folder My main question is what exactly the use of the Typecast function is in this specific program (specifically what the interger "4" wired to type is used for). I have a slight understanding of it, that it is used to convert between data types. I am failing to see what it is used for in this application.
My understanding is that the incoming data is binary, so I wrote a vi to look for the FFFF string, then capture the string after the FFFF header and extract that value. I will then need to convert it to decimal which I know how to do, then display that value. I will of course have to integrate it into the Bluetooth vi so the incoming string is real time Would something like this work, or do I have to use the typecast function?
Any suggestions on my methodology and the use of typecast in this application would greatly be appricated. Thank you.

The example code is set up for a protocol completely different than what you are doing, so you can't simply copy it and hope it works. The example code expects that the other side will send a 4-byte header containing the number of data bytes that follow, then send the data. The example code first reads that 4-byte header, casts it to an integer, and reads that number of bytes (the second Bluetooth Read).
When you run this with your device, the first read gets your 4 bytes - FF FF 22 33 - and converts that to an integer. 0xFFFF2233 is decimal 4294910515. So you then try to read this huge number of bytes and you get an error - looks like error 1, an input parameter is invalid, because you can't read 4GB at once. You can probably get your code working with a single Bluetooth Read, with a 1 second timeout (because you have a 1 second delay between packets). You'll want to wire in some number of bytes to read that is at least the size of the largest packet you ever expect, but don't use a ridiculously huge number that generates an error. LabVIEW will return as many bytes as are available when the timeout expires, even if it isn't as many as you asked to read (you might also get a timeout error, though, which you'll need to clear). You can then do whatever you need to do with that data - search for FF FF, typecast anything after that to array of U16, display it.
The output of the Bluetooth Read is a string, but it's not text - it's exactly the bytes that were sent. The Y with the dots over it is the way ASCII 255 (0xFF) displays (at least in that font). ASCII 34 (0x22) is ", and ASCII 51 (0x33) is the number 3.

hi JonnyD84,
Welcome to the Forums.
After pairing the Lenovo PC to your phone, can you try one of the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type fsquirt and press Enter. Select to Receive files and follow the prompts then try sending a file from the phone to the Lenovo PC.
- Sample image
2. Right click on the bluetooth icon and select Receive File then try follow the prompts then try sending a file from the phone to the Lenovo PC
- Sample image
If the above steps doesn't work, try to temporarily disable any running security software on the machine (eg., Windows Defender, Norton, Mcafee, etc.) and retry the above steps.
Let me know how it goes.

Sending/Receiving Bluetooth files

Hi,
i have the 8310. I cannot recieve or transfer by bluetooth. It lets me pair with devices then when they send it just fails everytime. I usually have to look for a device as it will not let other devices pair with me?
I don't know if i'm doing something wrong as i have never used a phone that has to be paired before??
Please help!!

A lot of carrier's have blocked the ability to transfer files via Bluetooth. Reason being is for priacy. Let's say you download a ringtone and pay $3 for it and then give it to 15 other people, the artist of that ringtone only gets their share of one ringtone download but 15 other people have that ringtone that they didn't pay for. The only thing you can really do with Bluetooth now-a-days is pair your device to either a headset, a computer or another device to transfer contacts. Kind of sucks considering Bluetooth was designed to do transfer files on the fly between two devices.

Playbook cannot receive bluetooth files

Yet another problem with this most useless device... Trying to bluetooth a file from my Mac; both have bluetooth switched on, both are 'discoverable'; the Playbook appears in the window on the Mac, but when I try to send a file the little thing in the corner spins round and round for ages, saying 'connecting to the device', but it never sends the file, & then tells me something like the device 'doesn't have the necessary facilities' (or something; can't remember the exact wording).
Is there anything this useless Playbook thing can actually do properly? I thought I was buying somehting like an android device, but it is incompatible with almost everything (Skype, etc...), & really simple things like Bluetooth, that the most basic phone can manage, seem to be totally beyond it's capabilities.

I use my playbook almost every day for email, movies, games, video chat, web surfing, picture taking and taking videos of my kids while they dance to music that is playing from my playbook.
I use wifi sharing to transfer things from my PC to playbook, much faster too

Cannot receive bluetooth data on curve

can pair with other phones and send data but cannot receive data from other phones. always says connection failed on the other phone

Hi i am having the same problem did you resolve it?

Is it possible to connect a Bluetooth speaker to my receiver STRDN850?

I would like to use a wireless bluetooth headset or a bluetooth speaker to listen to CDs played on my receiver. I am able to pair my bluetooth phone to my receiver but can't see any way to connect bluetooth in the other direction. Any ideas?

Hi barfia,
You cannot connect a wireless speaker in this receiver because it doesn't have the capability to send bluetooth signals. It can only receive bluetooth signals however you can connect wired and model specific wireless headphones in this receiver. Model specific because these headphones comes with a transmitter(MDR-RF985RK). Transmitter that will send the signal to the headphones. Stand alone bluetooth headphones will not work. Use the PHONES jack in front of the receiver to connect your device.
Thanks,

6120 - receiving music files via bluetooth

the phone currently receives bluetooth-received music files (.aac) and places it in the message inbox
and there's no option to transfer it to the sd card.
i can't use pc suite while on the go...
unlike other phones where it is saved in a received files folder, the 6120 doesn't have this (or i haven't seen it yet).
is there a way to transfer it directly from the inbox to the memory card?
thanks in advance.

Always Have to Re-pair iPhone w/ Bluetooth Car Receiver

Just got a new head unit (Pioneer DEH 7900 BT) and I'm having some trouble getting the iPhone's Bluetooth pairing to work. I can pair the iPhone and head unit through Settings > General > Bluetooth and everything is OK -- can place and receive calls. When I get out of the car and return, the pairing seems to be lost. The iPhone still says it's paired, but the head unit doesn't recognize anything. If I unpair and re-pair from the iPhone, we're OK again. Is this normal operation? A problem with the iPhone or the head unit? Anyone have a similar experience?

I searched the Pioneer website and found the below, i think it applies to all pioneer head units. Does any one know what profiles the iPhone has?
from http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Support/Knowledgebase
Knowledgebase: Car Product - CD/Cassette Receiver
Bluetooth Profile compatibility for the DEH-P9800BT or the DEH-P980BT?
What profiles are compatible with my bluetooth device?
In order to use Bluetooth wireless technology, devices must be able to interpret certain profiles.
This unit is compatible with the following profiles.
1. GAP (Generic Access Profile)
2. SDP (Service Discovery Protocol)
3. OPP (Object Push Profile)
4. HSP (Head Set Profile)
5. HFP (Hands Free Profile)
This unit can control a Bluetooth audio player via A2DP or AVRCP profile. Bluetooth audio players (or Bluetooth adapters) compatible with those profiles can be connected to this unit.
1. A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Only playing back songs on your audio player is possible.
2. AVRCP profile (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile): Playing back, pausing, selecting songs, etc., are possible.
