Hi there,

I'm having a bit of a problem connecting to other phones via bluetooth. The situation is that someone is trying to send me a sound clip, I can see their phone, they can see mine (via Bluetooth of course ) we both enter a pin code of "123", I connect to their phone, then it fails to send.

I was wondering is there anything in my settings I should check that is stopping my phone recieving files via Bluetooth?

I've tried several different files and several different phones, it's all the same sadly.

oh yeah, and I of course have a BB 9000.

Open the Bluetooth Setup and press menu and select Options and make sure all the checkboxes are checked.

1. Go into "Media" on your BlackBerry and enable incoming files (Menu-->Receive using bluetooth).

2. Find the file on your friend's device that you wish to send, and beam the said file accordingly.

2a. If you have not "paired" (created a friendship between) the two devices before, you will need to do this first...

2b. One of the devices will ask for a PIN code first and on this device you need to create a four-digit, numeric password that can be anything you like.

2c. On the second device, enter the four-digit, numeric password you created and follow the simple, on-screen prompts on both devices to complete the pairing (you can also pair the devices in advance by going into Menu-->Set Up Bluetooth).

2d. Depending on the devices being used and the time taken to complete the pairing, you may need to re-send the file (go back to step 1), otherwise, continue below...

3. When your friend's device tries to send you the file, your BlackBerry should ask you to name the file and where to save it; if you have not set the device as "trusted" in the bluetooth settings (Options-->Bluetooth-->your friend's device), you may need to approve the file transfer first though.

4. The file should now be on your device.

Note: by default, all * Pictures are saved into /Device Memory/home/user/pictures or /Media Card/BlackBerry/pictures if you have a memory card.

* Sounds (including songs) are saved into /Device Memory/home/user/ringtones/ or /Media Card/BlackBerry/ringtones/ if you have a memory card.

* Videos are saved /Device Memory/home/user/videos or /Media Card/BlackBerry/videos if you have a memory card.

In other words, unless you specify somewhere else in step 3, this is where you will find your file.

And remember, your incoming file transfer WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU FIRST "PAIR" (CREATE A FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN) THE DEVICES, go into Media and CLICK MENU-->RECEIVE USING BLUETOOTH!!!
