Receive bluetooth files

[Guest edi3]

Hi all,

Im just wondering how I can receive files from other phones via bluetooth with my C500. I have managed to send (only once) a file via bluetooth using smart explorer but don't know how to receive them.

Can anyone help me out here?

Also has anyone ever had any problems sending files via bluetooth with smart explorer, it seems a bit touch and go to me?

Thanks in advance!

It's simple really..

You turn bluetooth on, make your C500 discoverable, the sender initiates the sending process (by sending you the file), you accept the reception of the file, you exchange a pin code (which you can set at the time of the transfer & it must be the same for both devices, i.e. 0000), sending/receiving process begins.. & that's it..

first app unlock the phone (needed for smart explorer 2.0)

install smart explorer 2.0 wich has the option of sending via BT...don't know why they didn't put this into the phone originaly...probably because they wanted ppl to use MMS

(1) I am on my second SMT 5600, and have found that neither it nor its predicessor needed to be application unlocked. My general impression seems to be that the earlier releases of the Typhoon were called 'c500' by Orange (a service provider). One of their flaws was that they were 'application locked', meaning that non-certified software could not be installed. However, when ATT released their version of the Typhoon - ie, the 'Audiovox SMT 5600' - they removed the pesky feature. I have no idea if the new cingular version is suddenly being produced application-locked, but I doubt it. Get started downloading already!

(2) The easiest way to locate a file is through a file browser, a bit like how you browse for files in Windows XP (et al). There are three main options:

Use the built-in File Manager. Use Menu -> 5 (Send) -> 2 (Beam). Then fiddle around and hope you have your BT (BlueTooth) settings properly calibrated.

[ii] Use Resco Explorer. I have it installed, but don't use it much. Glancing over it, I saw only IR (infrared) support, but given that they are trying to sell it for money, I am sure there is BT capability built in.

[iii] Use SmartExplorer. I use this, and generally love it. I haven't tried BT yet; the Typhoon and other BT-enabled products apparently are still rather novel here in America, giving me very few opportunities to try!

Hope this helps.

P.S. If you do have a new Cingular version, I am sure there are plenty of us here willing to test out these sorts of questions were somebody such as yourself (hint, hint) to extract their ROM.
