Bluetooth/IR on MPX220 saying File Send Failed Everytime?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: xplode

every time i try to bluetooth send or IR my friends cell anything just to see if it works, it picks his device up but it never successfully sends.. i cannot understand if its his phone or mine, he has a sony ericsson somthing... and this kind of bothers me, i set my bluetooth to ON ... i dont understand... is there any bluetooth fixes that ive missed that were already covered. did a search found nothing.

EDIT* When i try to beam either an MP3 or an image from my camera, it never sends correctly.. is this because of the crippled bluetooth?

I dont think it has "crippled" bluetooth. But mine does the samething.

Posted by: xplode

ah. so the phone itself cannot successfully beam anyone?.. well great heh... atleast i know its my side of it now

.. thanks bud for the reply ..appreciated..

Posted by: Justin5117

Maybe though someone else got it to work. I can recieve beams though can you?

Posted by: xplode

yeah well i never tried it but im assuming i can... i only tried sending to my friend and it never worked.. somone got the sending to work? prolly registry edits? i searched and got nothing so i hope they see this soon .. =)

Posted by: Justin5117

Woops, I ment maybe someone else figured it out. I dont know anybody who has although I havent ever seen this topic come up before.

Posted by: xplode

yeah, hopefully somone will chime in, im surprised omega hasnt spotted it yet, he normally knows somthing bout bluetooth stuff and moddin registry.

We wait and see...

I can beam successfully, at least from the phone to a Pocket PC and vice versa. From the list of devices, you need to select the device, even if it is the only one on the list and then hit the softkey to send.

BT transfers the way they were meant to be done always fail. There is not real OBEX or object push profile on the MPx220 so BT is crippled as far as I'm concerned. You need to enable OBEX on the registry, which instead of real OBEX support will give you an FTP file transfer. You need to copy the files you want to transfer to \Storage\My Documents\FTP and then grab the files from the other device.

i had a feeling that is why... im wondering if this OBEX is crippled from the ROM, or if its an actual piece missing from the hardware.. if its as simple as a Reg edit fix then that would be perfect

Which key is it? I was looking for a solution to a problem similar to this one a while ago, but I gave up.

I have no problem sending files from my phone to the computer or to another device, however if the widcomm drivers are sketch with the MPx 220. One time I couldn't BT ActiveSync and Send files at all, i had to totally reinstall the widcomm drivers and still that didn't work, so I had to go to the microsoft BT stack then back to widcomm, well that worked because when you switch from on BT stack to another it wipes out the settings from the previous stack. It was a major pain and I still can't get my BT keyboard to work as of now....time to get a new radio and or drivers since I am useing hacked ones for my old MS Bluetooth dongle that came with my BT mouse and keyboard.

The bluetooth is not crippled, yes Cinguliao is right about its not full OBEX but thats not the phone its actually the widcomm drivers......

When I send a file to my computer from the MPx 220 it goes to My Documents/Bluetooth Exchange folder

xplode: are you sending the file without pair the two devices or with pairing the devices, if you do not pair the devices your friends device will ask him if he wants to except the file, make sure his phone dosent have BT in a state where it will only accept files from paired devices...I know my old T2 was like that and I had to make sure that it prompted me when someone tried to send a file to me from a device that wasn't paired to my T2....

This is just a thought, I suggest you ask someone in the sony ericsson forum if the BT on that device has any special settings like that.

Two keys

HKLM\Services\OBEX
(Change the "Keep" setting to "0")
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Obex
(Change "IsEnabled" to "1")

One thing is sure, OBEX was not crippled by Cingular as the 1.25 unbranded firmware has the exact same limitations. It might well be a BT driver problem as Omega says.

I just tried sending a file from the phone to the PC (via File Manager), and like Omega said, it ended up in the Bluetooth Exchange Folder. I also tried sending a file to the phone from Windows explorer and it ended up in "\Storage\My Documents\FTP" I currently have the "Keep" parameter set to "1". What does the "Keep" setting do?

Also, can anyone recommend a web page that gives an overview of the various things you can do with Bluetooth? Until now, I've just been using it for ActiveSync.

You can have the phone route calls to the computer, its called audio gateway, you still use the phone as the mic but the callers voice will come thru the speeker. I haven't set it up yet.

Posted by: Justin5117

Aww man u need to tell me how to do that Omega thats crazy!!! Where do you go to do it? I want to set it uP!

Posted by: Omega2008

This is how you do it, this is for the widcomm drivers:

First pair your phone with the computer

Start, Settings, Bluetooth, Menu, Devices, highlight your computer in the device list, Menu, Set as Hands-Free, hit Done, Done

Now dial a number or start a call from contacts on the phone. Make sure your in call

On your computer, right click on the BT icon in the task bar, select audio gateway, select the MPx 220 ( or whatever you named it ) a dialog box will come up saying it is connecting to the service

voila! You will hear the other party thru your computer, who needs speakerphone now huh!

is that for my problem? that im having? will that fix? another thing omega.. what you mean paired devices? like mpx to mpx? , i just figured all bluetooth phones were compatable.. when i send him somthing it asks for him to receive and he clicks yes then my end just like stops..

Posted by: Omega2008

does he know where his BT recived files are saved on his phone. Paired devices mean that the two can access eachother without any user authorization.

Posted by: xplode

dunno i assume he does.. but it still says failed.. so it didnt transfer either way

Posted by: Omega2008

Hmmmm.....That is odd..I sent some files yesterday to a nokia and it worked great. Try sending files to another phone and see if it is indeed your phone that is the problem and not his.

well, the IsEnabled was already on 1, but the keep setting would not write its protected i believe.. =/

Its the MPX220. I bought a dell axim with bluetooth and tried to use the phone as a Bluetooth dial-up modem and it would not dial the phone#. Went to cingular and it worked just fine with the nokia and the motorola razor.

Posted by: Omega2008

I can do a GPRS connection via BT to my computer with no problems....accept these **** Widcomm drivers are messed up, I will have to reinstall them but I know it works.

Posted by: rborhara

i had the same problem yesterday so what i noticied is instead of going into the bluetooth settings select the BEAM option one above the bluetooth one and enable the option in there. and hey presto i could send and receive stuff to my mpx220

Posted by: jztan79

i just got my bt dongle and was messing around with the bt option on my phone. trying get it to sync with my computer using BT. But as i was messing around with the port setting trying to get it work i found out the bt option under activesync -> menu->option-> pc setting is gone. now all i can choice from is usb. How can i get the bt option back please help......

Posted by: IRONLUNG

i always thought that with bt devices, you could just send/receive files at the push of a button (i think my 6230 was able?) in trying to send a file from my mpx220 I was unable to do so at ever angle.
it was when I initiated the transfer on the computer (expecting to receive a file fr bT device....fr: bt device icon) I was then able to send file fr: the phone...and it was senT to 'my docs', no FTP or bT exchange folder.....

....it worked never-the-less....unless this is how its supposed to be....

Posted by: Omega2008

Yes on the MPx 220 files sent to the phone go to the My Documents folder. This is different depending on what ROM you are using.

Posted by: IRONLUNG

but fr: phone--->com?

Posted by: Omega2008

Try rephrasing that.

Posted by: IRONLUNG

that is, sending a file from the phone to the computer....

Posted by: Omega2008

right. if you send a file to the computer using the MS Stack it goes to my documents by default. you can change this when you right click on the BT icon in the task bar and select recieve file, then send the file from your phone then it will ask you what to call it and where to save it. If you have the Widcomm BT stack it will put it in a folder in my documents call BT Exchange

Posted by: IRONLUNG

ahhh, gotcha omega2008. odd, somehow I went from using widcomm stack to ms stack....

Posted by: Omega2008

Never had that happen. Windows will try its best to use the MS stack so you have to "hide" the files for it so it can't find them lol.

Posted by: IRONLUNG

hmmmm.....
