transfer-files-from-iphone-using-bluetooth OK Readers!

Here we are again with a Step-by-Step guide. As we all know that we are unable to send files to or from iPhone using default iPhone Bluetooth. To enable transferring files from iPhone using Bluetooth, there’s an application named “iBluetooth“.

So, in this guide we are going to tell you How to Transfer Files from iPhone using iBluetooth. Through this step-by-step guide, you will learn how to install iBluetooth in your iPhone and transfer files using it.

IMPORTANT: iBluetooth supports OS 2.x only. if you’re on firmware 3.1.3, you should use iBlueNova.

Here we go:

You need a jailbreak iPhone.
Cydia and installer should be installed to you iPhone during jailbreak.
iPhone connected to internet.

Press the Cydia icon on your springboard to launch it.

From the list under Sections Tab, find System and press to open.
From the packages listed, Locate iBlueTooth and Press to Open

This software is HORRIBLE! it just keeps crashing on my iphone!! it gets to the point of sending the file/picture and it connects to the other device and then the program just closes and causes the other phone to get stuck… I think we should just leave the BT services to Apple. There was a reason it was turned off.

I’m using this software without any problem… It works perfectly both when recieving and sending files (pictures, music, documents etc.). The phone is not crashing and everything is fine. you can send files to other phones, you can send files to other iPhone users which have the same application installed on their phone.
In my opinion it’s the best solution (for now) for the bluetooth issue in iPhone.
