Bluetooth issue

Sat, 25 Sep 2010 04:59:14 GMT

Hi All,

I just bought Xperia X10 mini pro (android 1.6). Trying to transfer a file from laptop to mobile. Both devices detect each other but file transfer from laptop to mobile fails. Do we need to any changes before using bluetooth first??

Thanks

You cannot transfer files directly from your laptop to your phone. Use the phone to explore and copy files from your PC. Here is how it can be done:

Transfering files from your laptop to you Xperia via bluetooth

1. Install Blue Tooth File Transfer Software.

2. Copy the files that has to be copied from the laptop to the bluetooth sharing folder of your laptop.

3. Now run the Blue Tooth File Transfer Software on Xperia.

4. Take the remote files tab.

5. Select your laptop from the list.

6. The files you have copied in the laptops bluetooth sharing folder will be listed.

7. Select the files by checking the check boxes.

8. Now click the menu (four square) button and click edit.

9. Select copy/cut from there.

10. Now take the Local Files Tab

11. Take the location where you have to paste the files

12. Now click the menu (four square) button and click edit.

13. Select paste from the list.

Hello friend,
I am not that well versed with Mac, in fact I haven't even used it. But I can suggest you something. If you have got another bluetooth device other than Xperia, try to send a file to your mac from that device. The default location where you receive the file on your mac is the bluetooth exchange folder. Transfer files to be shared with Xperia to this folder and use Blue Tooth File Transfer software to access it and copy paste it to your phones SD card.
Please inform whether this helped or not.

hi thanks and try it, figure out the folder name - drop box in Public folder, but still can't get it work!

When I try to enter the folder or "Drop box" which is what Mac call, it give me that message say:

Java.lang.exception: Can't get folder-listing of remote device.

reason:

can't changee from "/" folder to "/Drop box/" folder.

reason:

Can't enter into "Drop Box" folder.

reason:

Negative "response"code from server: FORBIDDEN (OxC3)

Any idea??

As I have told you I am not familiar with mac. Let me ask you some questions.

1. The drop box folder, is it lying in a drive directly? For example if you have 5 drives and does the drop box folder lie directly in a drive (not with in any folder)

If your answer is yes then change the blue tooth exchange folder (Drop Box folder) from blue tooth settings of mac and create a new sharing folder such that it lies in a folder with in a drive. Like C: //New Folder/ Drop Box. I hope you understood what I meant.

If the answer to the above question is no, then sorry I can't help you. You better add a new question in the community on how to use Bluetooth Ftp on MAC. Maybe some one who uses mac will help you out.
