As such, the speed of data transmission using Bluetooth technology cannot be increased, unless it is advisable to keep the telephones closer to each other, because the range of such a connection is limited to a few meters. However, as an option, you can transfer files via Bluetooth, but not from a phone, but from a computer. You can often find a file on a PC faster, so you can get ready to transfer data faster.
Necessary
- - a PC that allows you to activate the Bluetooth function (with Windows XP);
- - Bluetooth USB adapter.
Instructions
Step 1
First, make sure your computer has Bluetooth functionality by right-clicking on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop and selecting “Properties”. If the icon is not on the desktop, you can find it in the Start menu.
Step 2
In the window that opens, which is called "System Properties", click on the "Device Manager" tab. Bluetooth there will be indicated in the line "Network cards". If in this line you do not find anything that would contain the word Bluetooth in the name, then you will need a USB adapter.
Step 3
Insert the Bluetooth adapter into a free USB port on your computer, wait until the corresponding drivers are installed. Further, if you try to connect using this technology to the computer, a dialog box will automatically open. This happens if Bluetooth is specified as the default connection in the PC network settings.
Step 4
To transfer the desired file from your computer to your phone, first enable Bluetooth on your mobile device, then select the file on your PC, right-click on it and click on “Send”, then select Bluetooth.
Step 5
Next, the "Bluetooth Send Wizard" window will open. A search for devices within range will automatically start. From them, select the name of your mobile device (by default, this is the name of the phone model, but you can change it to whatever you like best).
Step 6
If you need to activate another device, click on "Next" and the PC will start looking for possible hardware.
Step 7
Sometimes it happens that the Bluetooth settings on the PC are reset. In this case, you will have to activate the equipment yourself.
Step 8
Press the key combination Fn + F5. The Fn button is located on the lower left side of the keyboard (this applies to netbooks and laptops). You will see the "Wireless Device Settings" window on the screen. Select Bluetooth in it, then click on "On". After a few seconds, the window will close by itself. Otherwise, press the Space key. In some cases, the Bluetooth enable button may be located, for example, on a computer keyboard.
