Guest Mike Beecham Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I dont suppose anyone would have an idea as to when bluetooth file transfer is going to drop on the Hero yet? It's annoying not to be able to carry out a function that is available on so many phones these days...it just seems incredible that we cant do this at the moment. I'm used to being able to bluetooth over to my Mac mini, and I'm missing this function badly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It throw a : "Can't start OBEX OPP (Object push Profile) service search. Reason: Return value is "false" " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still stunned that HTC elected not to include a functionality that is now standard on most phones? I'm still trying to pick my way through that one.

It isn't that HTC elected not to include the functionality, it's that the Android OS currently does not support many BT profiles. When the G1 was released, Google decided to only include handsfree profiles for Android, and their reasoning was that they were not happy with the current state of their bluetooth API, and didn't wanted to get locked into supporting it by releasing it in a "finished" product. Jump forward some 11 months, and we've had a reasonable major update of the base OS (Cupcake) but this only added a few more profiles. Android Bluetooth FAQ Whilst I'm sure HTC could've coded up their own support, they probably didn't want to fragment the OS by providing an implementation which will end up being incompatible with whatever finished product Google eventually cook up. Personally, I think it's pretty poor that nearly a year after 1.0, we sill don't have it, but it should be said that the iPhone didn't have Bluetooth file transfer support until iPhone OS 3.1, so Google have probably decided that the market is prepared to wait for it.
