Hello. I recently made the jump from Windows XP directly to Windows 7 RC, and I'm struggling a bit with their Bluetooth implementation. On my old XP box, I could plug in a Bluetooth dongle, sync it with my Verizon LG enV2 cell phone, and when I double clicked on the icon for the device, it would give me an option of like ten different things I could do with it, one of which was OBEX File Transfer. It would simply open a new Windows Explorer window with the complete file structure of my cell phone and all the data on both the phones internal memory and on the microSD card. Now, when I use the same Bluetooth dongle to sync the same phone with Windows 7, I can't get it to do anything besides try and use it as a modem. Image I really don't think I need to install any OEM software here. I never did before. I feel like all I need to do is "point" my Windows Explorer directly at the phone, but when I do, it just opens the Properties dialog box in the screenshot. Help!!

Same problem here, except that I can't even use it as a modem, i.e. the first entry in the context menu is "Create shortcut".

Hello, im not a specialist, but i was having problemas like yours and i found options like that on windows xp too...

Hello I think you need to install some software that implements the OBEX protocol. just found OBEX Commander (says it is compatible with windows vista, but haven't tried it in win7 yet) that program should enable this functionality. I agree that it is a bit strange this was stripped out of the default bluetooth connectivity options...

I'm also having problems with file transfer between my brand new Windows 7 laptop any any other devices - Windows Mobile phone, Nokia Phone, Windows XP computer. The Bluetooth itself works - I can use Active Sync (or how that think they downscaled it to is called) and I can send files from mobile to laptop (it arrives but without any notification). But when trying to send file from laptop to whichever device I get only "No services found" message and 0 progressbar in ugly 95-like window. Microsoft really <sorry my English vocabulary does not contain enough impolite words to describe my feelings > me by not implementing basic functionality and even by removing existing functionality from newer versions of MS products. . The OBEX Commander mentioned by RadioNUT works under Win 7 x64 (though on WOW). It can send file to my device. Angain: Why I have to download 3rd party software to use such basic functionality!!!!???? (when this worked in Vista and XP) If Microsoft is going to continue this way, I will not pay horrible money fro my next OS!
