HTC Bluetooth Explorer Problem

**Deimoss** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-23-2009, 03:23 PM

In the programs menu there is a program right at the top, called Bluetooth Explorer.

It's supposed to ask if you want to turn bluetooth on if it isin't already and then search for new devices, if any, and if found asks,
"Would you like to bond to HTC?"

I can't get it to work. searched a bit... null , so i was like Hey! registry editor time! i found HKCU\Software\HTC\BluetoothFolder\Enable Client is set to 0

so i was like yess, flick it to 1 no problem right? :]
wrrong :[ still dosent auto start or do anything for that matter, just the WinMo beachball (sigh..)

:: I should note that in the windows bluetooth settings, FTP tab I keep checking the
"Enable Bluetooth Explorer" and "Enable File Sharing", yet only Enable File Sharing stays checked.

Can someone report that their Bluetooth Explorer Icon loads up ?

Any help would be much appreciated

::Registry Change Solved it:: I must either be super smart or super dumb.. i went back into
---HKCU\Software\HTC\BluetoothFolder\Enable Client set it to "1" (default was 0 )---

I think the trick is letting the registry key save to the ROM. Confirmed Working HTC Bluetooth Explorer

I'm having the exact same symptoms.

Also tried the registry tweak mentioned above... no help.

Same issue here, My issue is that in the Settings / Bluetooth / Enable FTP Explorer It just stays unchecked, the registery says the value is 1 but it just wont load.

how do u do the registry edit?

and what exactly does bluetooth explorer allow you to do? does it let u browse other phones and pull pics/videos/other files from other phones? if so i've never gotten it to work either
