I just bought a used blackberry rim and im haveing problems getting it to allow me to bluetooth any pictures or ringtones..please help

Still need help?

First you have to go to your bluetooth option and pair with the phone you want to receive from. Once you are paired with this phone you have to know what you are going to receive i.e. a ringtone/picture/video then you go to your "Media" folder and go to the folder you want what you're receiving to go in. Like if it were a picture you would click your pictures folder. While in the folder you want to receive hit your Blackberry button (to the left of the trackpad) and click "Receive using Bluetooth" your phone is then in receiving mode and the other person can send the file.

I'm not sure why Blackberry makes it so complicated to Bluetooth files--I think it's a deep security measure, but this should work!

The trick with pairing on the blackberry is that the person receiving the file has to allow the file at the same time the sender is initiating the send. This is a security issue with bluetooth on the curve. Once you get the tone you can look at this guide to get everything else setup.

Hello,

Try the following. Hope this helps.

Okay,


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!!!

ok if you want to recieve anything via bluethooth you have to go into media and scroll over to the one you want to recieve and click options and it will say something like recieve.

alright bhavin,

all you need to do is first PAIR your both the devices using bluetooth, then in black berry on music or ringtone or picture whichever you want go to.. menu-->option-->receive using bluetooth ,,,, once you allow files to be transfer from nokia you will receive in blackberry... and for sending out from black berry... select SEND USING BLUETOOTH....

i was doing the same to transfer between my nokia and blackberry phones...!!!

but for downloading this particular files, i never this so sorry about it..!!

I use to get that messege because my phone didnt have enought memory for the transfer. I bought the memory card so now it's fine.

your blackberry might need an upgrade in software you bought on ebay

omg
take it to your local retail outlet or phone provider and have them do an upgrade in the system they have

#2 i would never buy these kinda phones from ebay one of 2 things they could be stolen or just be a piece of ........
unlocked phones are usually clones once you put your service on it they have the code to copy your info and make your phone account become out of wack with out ragious charges
they got you good
only by these kind of phones from certified dealers they have the quality and guarenteed no cloning

Blue tooth software revisions keep occuring. The previous generation did not permit the transfer of MP3.... are your ring tone MP3's?

Also, make sure the the ring tone is not "copy protected"....

J.

did any of you get a solution? I bought my phone on ebay and it was unlocked, however when i got it the bluetooth would always say service not supported! PLEASE HELP IF YOU FOUND A SOLUTION! I miss bluetooth!
