i wonder if comments like "it works on some devices" are based on mobile OS? i tried it on galaxy ace and i received the following exception: Failed to connect; [10064] A socket operation failed because the destination host was down. But when i tried in on nokia 6220c, it works fine. so is this about android/symbian, if it is what should i change to make it work on android phone?

The application works only for java based phones...what changes should i make it work on android phone?

Answer 1

This project uses a Bluetooth profile called OBEX

Not all phones will implement this profile, thus that program will not work with phones that don't implement it. Furthermore, it requires a lot of work to implement a custom profile on Android so it is usually better to find a different way of transferring files.
