Using Bluetooth to transfer photos from my phone

Sony Ericsson : Accessories : download my pictures from T68i by bluetooth @ Esato – I was wondering if there was a way to usefully use my phone’s digital camera. Apparently, with Bluetooth there is!

Here’s an important part of the tip:

Most of these Bluetooth Adapters use the WIDCOMM drivers/software.

So to enable sending images FROM your phone TO your pc over Bluetooth, firstly MAKE SURE you have the very latest software for your adapter. Then open regedit.exe and do the following:

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services

Here there is a list of profiles supported by your PC

Find the one for ‘Infomation Exchange’

Do this by looking in each folder.

For me, there were folders 0001 to 0007, and the one I was after was 0004. (You can tell because there is a value called ‘Name’, with data ‘Information Exchange’)

In this key, change the DWORD string ‘AcceptOther’ to hex value 1 – it is 0 by default.

Close regedit

ENJOY !
