Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

I bought my n900 some months ago...
but till now i can't figure out how to send things like photos, mp3s or even videos through bluetooth...:confused:

i can pair my device to any other devices and receive files from them through bluetooth but when i try to send any thing, it gives : "Connection Failed to ____________"

this is really annoying...:mad:

please can somebody help me figure it out???

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

Please help... i'm having the same problem... (almost... I managed to send a file to my cousin's nokia 65 something or other but that's it)

I've paired my n900 to my Vista laptop (which was successful) and cannot send any files then from the phone to the pc... always comes back with connection failed.

Also I've tried to send images to my partner's blackberry... same problem... connection failed.

I've clicked the bluetooth icons to set the pc/blackberry ready to receive files when i'm sending... but still nothing.

I've downloaded and installed petrovich and ok so i can attempt to send 'any' file in a 'file-manager' style application but it still won't connect.

I'm starting to go mad with this now... it's a feature of my old n82 that I used a lot and it's starting to put me off this n900... i'm not stupid by any means but i'm new to linux and maemo so maybe there is something simple i've missed here... but please someone... take pity and help me! *ingratiating smile*

cheers.

Try looking in this thread. There is a buggy workaround, but there is more talk of this topic here.

Bluetooth BT Send file Problem

Ira, if your not using Petrovich I recommend trying that.

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

bluetooth is set

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

i tried petrovich but still... :(
this buggy device needs much more improvement..

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

same here petrovich doesnt change anything, could i be looking at a faulty device? what else can i do to test this?

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

For starters what are you trying to send to? A car, a PC, a MAC, a nokia?

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

If its a laptop within bluetooth range simply plug it in via usb... geez some people. ITS A PHONE NOT A WIZARD

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

Not everyone carries a usb around. What if it is a computer that isn't yours?

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

I'm also seeing this with a BlackBerry, but haven't had any problems with Sony Ericsson phones; Dell laptops (running Windows XP or Ubuntu); Linux desktops; Acer netbooks (running Ubuntu) and so on.

I'm guessing it's something weird about the BlackBerry - it loves to connect as an AV remote control (until I turned that off), but it refuses to receive files or contacts from my N900 :-(

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

Yeah, I had a problems sending and receiving with a blackberry too

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

ya it's true, even u will bring it all the time u must knw what's the problem as well... avoid the problem is not the way to fix a problem...

btw...i have this problem as well...when i'm trying to send a pic from my mac to my N900... =.=

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

same here . ....

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

Try the Nokia Multimedia thing for a mac.

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

that's it? anybody?

I love my N900 but its inability to perform such a simple task brings me down. I needed like six months ago and I thought it was a random thing but over the last month I have needed it constantly and now I find out that the solution is that there is no problem at all? not use the bluetooth? is this why the N900 is better than other phones? because we can send anyfile via bluetooth, no jailbreak needed?

there must be something we can do.

Meanwhile, I use the nokia interface, it allows me to browse the phone over bluetooth but at work computers dont have the nokia suite, what to do?

any advice?

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

I'm getting the same problem over here. I'm trying this with Win7, i've tried to pair, and & unpair. Also delete the laptop from my device and vice versa, but no dice. I remember being able to send with no problems in the past (could it be a side effect from PR1.2?) :confused:

If anyone has any info, sharing is caring :)

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

I have used bt many times for transferring files to my N900 from Win 7. I'm using PR1.2. I don't remember any special tricks.

Re: Bluetooth : "Connection Failed to _____________"
 

I was able to send a bluetooth file over today. And i'm almost certain it's the bluetooth stack on the pc causing this problem.
First try to upgrade/install proper bluetooth drivers on the pc. If that doesn't work, try finding another stack to work with. Try this one http://www.bluesoleil.com/ if you care to experiment.

Hope this helps.
