Dell Streak does not support Bluetooth file transfer services

[Deleted User]

Hi,

I read on below link that Dell Streak does not support Bluetooth file transfer services. Is this true? No wonder I can't send anything to my Streak.

Any workaround?

Thanks.

Are you trying to 'bluetooth" a file from one device to another? I do it all the time on my streak? Curious if you are referring to some other method of bluetooth file transfer...

I think this is only for certain devices. Maybe compatibility or version? I was able to send file from Samsung to Streak but I can't send from Streak to Samsung. Is there a limitation to file size or file type? I'm trying to send an APK.

Ah, yes, that might be the case. Ive tried , sendind an apk from one stresk to another and a message appears stating file type cant be sent. I am sure theres a way.

How large was the file you successfully sent from the Samsung to the Streak?

It's just 1 mb. Even smaller like 300 kb can't be sent. This is pretty annoying. I had to plug both to Android to exchange files. If I have internet, I just upload to Dropbox. But again, this is just cumbersome.

Hey Melodyman, please check and see what else could be causing your two devices not to transfer files via bluetooth.

I just sent an .apk app of about 260 KB from one streak to the other usiing bluetoot successfully. Let me know if you try again and if you can get something smaller than 250 kb to go this time.....
