Having a Bluetooth problem that I couldn't find on searching the forum.

Tried to send a .cab file to another XDA user the other day. Devices found eachother and paired fine. I was then unable to send the file to her. Just get the message "failed".

She however was able to send a .doc file back to me with no problems. I then tried to resend that file to her, but no joy. Unable to send any files at all, regardless of format.

Tried setting up the pair from my side, and then from hers, but still no joy. After half an hour, she commented that my phone was very rude, taking stuff from others but not willing to share in return!

Have since discovered that it will send files via Bluetooth to PC, but not other mobile devices. Any ideas why not?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fisha21:
No one else has had this problem??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] resist:
Are you using a rom that has beam disabled? If no, have you disabled it on your own? I believe beam needs to be fully functional in order to do this (or so I've heard).

I'm not speaking from personal experience as I always keep beam intact (and if it is disabled in the rom I flash, I re-enable it). In turn, I have no issues sending via BT. Might be worth a try for you.

Also, a common misconception is: "Why does the Kaiser have "Beam" if there is no IR?". Many are viewing this as an oversight on HTC's part. However, beam is not just for IR.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sniperess:
+1

You need beam on... I hard reseted my device several times as I could send from PC/Tilt to Trinity but nothing to Tilt. Then I realized beam was off :eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fisha21:
I don't think "Beam" is off, as I am still able to send things across to my laptop, and from laptop to TyTN, without any problems (well, only problems linked to MS's crappy interpretation of Bluetooth - no problems from the TyTN end, I mean :-)

EDIT: Actually, how do you check beam is on? If I go to Start>Settings>Connections (tab)>Beam, the only option I get is a check box to select "receive all incoming beams". What about outgoing beams. Am using stock Orange ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dolbe:
was the option to allow bluetooth file transfers enabled also? it has to be enabled for the phone to accept incoming files
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
You do not need to pair devices for file transfers. Delete the association on each device and if the receiving device is set to 'Discoverable' you will pick them up when you select 'Beam'

Also, some PDA devices have different levels of transfer security that is non-adjustable and conflicts, go to 'Settings'-'Connections'-'Bluetooth'-'Security' and un-check the box for passkey Authentication for 'Beam'

You still have the choice of accepting or rejecting the file but to avoid idiot 'spamming' on BT it is best to revert to non-discoverable when in public places. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fisha21:
Under Start>Settings>Connections (tab)>Beam, the only entry is "receive all incoming beams". The rest of the page is blank. Certainly nothing about accepting incoming files.

Hey All, I'm noticing that when I slide open the device, it takes a LONG time for the screen to change layouts, and visa versa. Anyone else with this problem? Using Dutty's DualTouch V3, with radio 1.27.11.31.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ugoff:
How long is "long"? My Tilt takes 1-2 seconds with only 2 today screen plugins. Plugins will make the process take longer because they have to be resized for the orientation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] schulzj:
Welcome to the joys of bad drivers :( I'm not a iPhone fanboy by any stretch of the imagination but turn on of them sideways and see how fast it will switch. . . much faster. I still wouldn't ever trade my Tilt for an iphone, but one would think that the 8925 would be more responsive than the 8525.

I live in Canada and many of the screen protectors that are being reviewed online are not available for purchase since they do not ship here. Anyone from Canada have any good recommendations? Considering Spigen's Neo Flex but it's out of stock at the moment. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] force70:
Im going to get the whitedome one and I emailed them and they said this week they will start shipping to Canada via amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Zer0_:
G Color is pretty good. However I ended up switching it out for the NeoFlex because I screwed up the installation of the G Color one lol.

Also G Color came with a free clear case. Not the best quality, but still it was nice of them to throw that in.

I got the Whitestone Dome one and it's amazing. But not shipping to Canada just yet. I got it because I live on the border and had it shipped to a US address I can use. You guys will love it when you can get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] force70:
I just cant do the plastic type ones...they feel awful to the touch..its like going backwards in time 4 years lol.

Glass or nothing!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] acheney1990:
Exactly. I had the ClearPlex one from Best Buy but took it off because it felt terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] golfinggino:
I picked up a glass screen protector from a store in Hamilton as I needed something as I was going out that night paid 40 and it was crap lol I thought it was ok at first but it felt almost like that plastic screen on an OtterBox defender case. I switched cases today and it just came off the phone and I'm glad it did lol. I think I will just go with a case and no screen protector and hope for the best as it seems there are no good curved glass screen protectors for the s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Zer0_:
haha I agree with you there, but with such limited selection to choose from, it makes it difficult.. especially since pretty much all of the ones I've seen have horrible reviews.

But I NEED a screen protector on my phone! I usually upgrade my phone every 6 months - 8 months and I always sell my previous device.

Aww i was about to get this one, was it soft to the touch by any chance?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] acheney1990:
It's not terribly bad and it is nice and clear. But it doesn't feel as good as glass. If your interested in it you can probably go to Best Buy and I'm sure one of the workers would have a phone with it on that they'd let you look at and touch.

Is there a way to replace the default digital clock that comes with HTC Home with an analog clock ??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chunga168:
Check out the plugin HTC Plus, a compacted version of HTC Home with analog clock
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheDude1120:
I already used plus previously, i just want the analog clock in place of the digital, i like the rest of the htc home tabs, htc plus doesnt have that. Is there a way to just integrate an analog clock into it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chunga168:
I doubt it's possible since HTC Home don't allow much customisation

I went to use rlToday instead. There's so many different skins developed, many of which uses the HTC Home style. Maybe some of which uses an analogue replacement... (or you can probably do it yourself because it's quite easy to develop rlToday skins, just need some common sense)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dolphin91:
Smaller clock

I use this post for a new question about clocks with HTC Home : is there a way to have a smaller digital clock ?

I want to reduce it to have more space for my today's page.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Steve-C:
OK, rather than hijack a thread, this is what I posted last night in the class action thread:

These were the responses:

I've never understood the driver issues, as I haven't witnessed them. Looking at the YouTube video posted, that is very worrying, but I would like to know how were such poor results achieved?

This is my Kaiser (running the stock o2 ROM). Firstly it shows a video being played on my laptop, second the same section of the same video on my Kaiser. Then a web page in PIE, followed by a bit of surfing on Opera. From my video, it seems to perform just fine. So am I just really lucky, or am I missing something?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrHwG6xpc-E
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tyeo098:
Nope I get the same results.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Demokiroxx:
Well, i dont have big issues with movies.

However, i notice a lot of "lag" effects sometimes when scrolling. Of course installed the scrolling fix for IE, which makes it far better, but still, there is interface lag.

This lag is easily noticeable when you try to close an app and need to point your stylus like 3 or 4 times on the top right X before anything appears.

Also noticeable when you scroll in the "programs" window , interface lag, the scrolling is bad, really... The icons in the programs windows look like they disappear (this part of the screen becomes totally blank/white) then half-reappear then disappear etc... It is UGLY. When scrolling in program window, what should be SEEN would be real scrolling icons, fluid and all ! It should be nice, fluid, and shouldnt look like the screen refresh is 1 frame / second.

With such a processor and the included ATI thingy i would have thought of a faster interface avoiding such lag tbh.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kalwren:
The Stargate video that you're showing on your tilt in your video, did you conver that first?

If not, I'd like to know the stats on the video. Whats the resolution, file size, etc.

I've copied music videos to my phone and they play like crap. I had to spend $30 on conversion software and wait for the media to be converted down before I was able to watch anything.

Stargate Atlantis episodes that are 350mb take a long time to convert. To me it's a waste of time. I'd rather have a fully functional device with proper video support. Software rendering makes the screen draw slow and makes the device lag.

So, have you copied any video files at all to your phone and had them not play correctly? Or are you saying that every video you've tried has worked fine?

That has NOT been my experience. I have to convert everything to 320x240 at 640 bitrate before my phone will play video smoothly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kepela523:
There is no need to argue, the phone is capable of doing more, why not just face the fact.. If it can do more, what's the use on arguing "its already good enough??" No its not, the camera is the worse thing ive ever seen.

Dont get me wrong, the phone is great. I love it. The reception is the best ive ever seen.. But we just want them to correct the video driver issue, that is all. Its not harming you... is it? No need to drunk rant :) ..

Oh and by the way, technology is supposed to improve, the phone is an upgrade. Did it upgrade? No. I see no improvements..

Oh wait!, we got GPS .. I'll give you that.. Even then the GPS takes like 20 minutes to find a satallite. but it is great once its up and running.

What he said!!! This is why I left sprint. I got the Mogul, was advertised GPS when it came out. Well to this date, they are waiting for a "rom update".
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Infornography:
woo, we really don't need to go into this because by token of that same logic:

Your computer is a business tool, not an entertainment device.

Your car is a business tool and necessity. You don't need a cd player or radio.

etc. etc.

Now why is this a big issue? Because it was false advertising. Because what we bought wasn't just a big mac and some fries. And because what we bought wasn't worth $15. What we bought was worth more than $500 US. What we bought was a device that could do everything and more. Like a car, you didn't just buy it for business, but for pleasure. And to falsely advertise and prey on the good faith of us consumers isn't just bad. It's criminal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
The point is, even if you consider that the TyTN II a business phone and don't care about it preforming way below it's possibilities, the other HTC devices based on the MSM7200 and MSM7500 chipsets, like the Touch Dual and Touch Cruise, which suffer from the same problems, are certainly meant for 'fun user', not 'business user'. And their PREDECESSORS did all of this fine.

So everything you said is still BS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sleuth255:
The youtube Video demonstrates the Kaiser PIE Scroll bug issue, not the Video driver issue btw. That bug was fixed here. Most cooked ROMs now incorporate the fix.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
Yes this will be corrected on the site (the GDI video is way better for demonstration anyway, too bad it's not a comparison).. and the new support reports will be added. But if you ask me this is just a distraction. They know full well what the problem is, this is just to give the illusion they really didn't know, and are trying to figure it out, so they can say it really wasn't their fault. They're just acting out a play.

Really, the responce changing not 24 hours after the sites were launched (and they were informed of this, after all) and only 2 or 3 hours after a fairly large tech site frontpaged it? That is not a coincidence.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Scott_F:

You are an idiot with way too much money and time to spend on two inferior products.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Blowfish64:
I have a Kaiser which has the power to do both. Too bad it doesn't. By the way, since you seem to be such a huge fan of having multiple devices for doing multiple things, you should probably sell that Kaiser to get a flip phone, buy a PDA, get yourself a dedicated GPS receiver, and a Walkman radio, since having an all-in-one would be far too much integration for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cp_kirkley:
Awesome.:D

I bout my Tilt for 588 USD, totally ignoring my upgrade date, with the hopes that i would no longer need two devices. Until they fix the issue, making the device into what I thought I was buying, I will continue to be pissed about this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Isaygarcia:
this phone is not a graphics device? have you ever seen the datasheet of the MSM2700? THAT WAS THE REASON FOR I GOT MY KAISER!! (and the keyboard)

Just because he has something made by Apple, doesn't mean it's time to talk ****. I personally don't like apple, but they have created some innovative features for the smart phone world.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
You dont need to insult people because they have different opinion on something.:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Ralph Smeets:
You're right that the Kaiser is a business tool, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't have decent graphics. In my humble opinion, it would even be more logical if the Tytn II wouldn't have a camera, since in most companies, the usage of a camera is forbidden. So if it is a business tool, why does it have a camera?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SH4YD33:
There is a camera-less Tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mackaby007:
Well...let's call that one a business tool then.;)

I also bought my Kaiser on the basis of the Qualcomm specsheet. Finally...I thought, something like the Hardware accelerated Dell Axim x51v , but with proper communications integrated, i.e. phone, HSDPA etc....just what I've been waiting for.

Shame HTC don't provide what they advertise.

Why don't they just go public and admit their mistake and offer to put it right? Maybe because they have to make things right for too many devices, including the former devices with Imageon ATI based chipsets (which also lacked driver support).

Has anyone yet made the connection why Coreplayer can't make their software work with theses chipsets? Because HTC nor Imageon would assist them.:)

History repeating itself...again?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] we3zy:
Well of course a camera will surely increase sales for HTC, they don't spend much for the camera, but they will definitely see a increase in sales with a camera. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cuboosh:
i myself dont watch movies or stuff on my phone.. however i do wish they'd fix the driver issue because of how much this phone cost.. i recently have started watching mobitv @ work.. and coming from a 8525 i have noticed a difference.. i do wish youtube played better because damn it surely sucks trying to watch youtube from the phone.. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sahoopes:
Buyer beware

It's not a camera

It's not a game console

It's not a home theater

It's not a TV

It's not an ipod

It's not a pc or even a laptop

And no, it's not perfect either

It's a phone that makes a good attempt at bringing all these things together. Lawsuits, petitions, web sites, fund-raising. I hope it is worth your trouble but I think the money we put into HTC's pockets for our Kaisers will not be used to fix a video driver problem. It will be used to fund the development of the next generation of PPCs.:( Many of us will buy that new, great gadget inspite of what is being said in these forums.

:rolleyes:If you compare it to some other old gadget you had that performed better then please also list all the reasons you are not still using that old gadget. We could find shortcomings in every gadget that attempts to offer everything HTC has given us in the Kaiser. Best $700 I ever spent.:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] seanpint:
if you look at the T-mobile site it states that its a video playing phone. if it dont play videos well then surely thats false advertising?

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-monthly/t-mobile/mda-vario-iii/spec/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sahoopes:
It does play videos just not as well as some would like.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Steve-C:
Yes it was converted down to about 28mb from a 350mb .avi file. I agree episodes take a long time to convert, I was using Microsoft Windows Media Encoder which took about 8 hours an episode. AND could only do one ep at a time. Now I'm using PocketDivX, which takes about 45 mins and can batch convert. Both were free thankfully!

I tried playing a 350mb file, and I see the issue. Personally, the driver issue doesn't effect me, as I like being able to get entire seasons of TV shows onto a 1gb card, rather than a couple of eps. I also don't play games more demanding that Solitaire. So I guess thats why I didn't get the driver issue, it doesn't effect me. I guess the issue is more about personal expectations and preferences.

I was trying to make my post light hearted! :)

I start this thread to get an understanding of the driver issue, and avoid hijacking another thread. Thanks for the response!

Ahhh. That wasn't clear in the original thread, and this was the first time I had actually seen anything resembling the issues discussed. I thought it was showing the driver issue, hence my reason for starting this thread. Although @ the poster telling me to try this site on my Kaiser, well it works perfectly on Opera mini, terribly on PIE. Is that a driver issue or the fact that PIE just isn't upto the task? I personally think of PIE as a glorified WAP browser and that is surely MS fault not HTC's?

What he said. Like I've already said above, for me the device is a great all in one unit, for others that want more graphical games, videos at DVD quality to play etc, etc, I can see the issues. I'm happy with the compromises I have to make with the device, and I would still make them (eg even if the Kaiser could play 350mb DVD quality TV Shows, I would still convert my files to a smaller level in order to save space and cram more episodes on a card).

To those that need the better video drivers, good luck with your campaign. :)
