Recently just got my new 9700 bold but am having problems with the bluetooth function. I cant seem to receive any files from other bluetooth devices?? I read somewhere that on Blackberries you need to go to media, press the receive using Bluetooth option and then it works, but on mine it consistently says waiting for connection??
I have already paired it with these devices, but it just seems to disconnect and says it is unable to transfer files??
Can someone please help me and tell me where im going wrong??
Thanks

Blackberry BT File Transfer is a little different than other handsets. when your wanting to receive a file transfer goto 'MEDIA' , select the type of media (picture, music, etc) click the 'BB Button' to get more options, and select 'Receive using Bluetooth' and then have your friend initiat the BT file transfer
you should select the option "receive via bluetooth". in the media menu, press the menu button (the bb symbol) then select receive via bluetooth, then send the file. you will then be able to receive files from other phones.
hope this helps. also please rate. thanks!
you can surf the net on a wifi network even of you dont have a data plan. turn the wifi on then select "set up wifi network" then just follow the instructions to be able to connect to the network. if you still can't after doing this, it might be because the signal of the network is not that strong.
regarding the bluetooth, go to media, then press the menu button (the bb logo), then select "receive via bluetooth" for your bb to receive the file from your laptop/other phones.
you have to select the option "receive via bluetooth" to be able to receive files to your phone. this can be done when you are in the media folder. press the menu button, then select "receive via bluetooth" when sending files from your pc/other phones.
You might want to check which version of the the BlackBerry system
software you are using.
Having the latest version will ensure that you
are running a platform with as many bugs worked out as possible, including bluetooth functionality and compatibility.
