Why can't I recieve anything through Bluethooth from non Blackberrys? I can send data via Bluetooth, but when friends or family try to bluetooth me, it says service not supported. Does it have to be BB only? I have it set as discoverable,and can bond with other phones just can't recieve. Help please.
Bluetooth seems virtually useless at receiving from a nonBB device, says "service not supported" even with encryption turned off and both devices "trusted"
Any ideas?
On the BB to receive the file go to Media >Menu key >Explore. Browse to the folder you want to store the file in. Hit the menu key and select "Receive using Bluetooth." Then send from the other device. Make sure your devices are paired first.
Thanks, I agree, I've found the crux is that with the BB there is an extra "first" step compared with other devices, and that is to make the BB "receptive" first as described above by John Clark. See also thread BB discussions / 83xx / Bluetooth Cracked YAY by gregthorne.
