Bluetooth toast notification

[sidn625]

Whenever receiving files over Bluetooth, toast notification is shown on the top with percent completion. However, after the file is received, it says 'Done and saved. Tap to view.'
The toast disappears after some time, so when receiving pdf files, unless you tap on it and open it in an app to save it in its memory, you lose the file with no way of accessing it.
Also, the file can be opened only in one app, say Adobe reader, which doesn't support sharing over Bluetooth. So you are left with a file that can neither be accessed through your PC, not your phone except from within the app.

would installing file manager and navigating to downloads or similar not provide their stored location?

Nope..
The file can not be found anywhere except in the app.
Also, I saw a Bluetooth share app from Nokia on wp 7.5 the other day. Isn't it available for our phones??

I think bluetooth files also should have been saved in the downloads folder.

Files recieved via Bluetooth gets saved in respective folder types for example pictures gets saved in camera roll> saved pictures. Music in the music folder etc. If you have problem finding your files, download the official file manger and use the search option to find your file. Check out "Files" for Windows Phone http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=762e837f-461d-4847-8399-3526f54fc25e

If the file you have received can be opened by a particular application(say pdf files in Adobe reader/pdf reader), it will be saved in its local storage, which cannot be accessed by a file manager. So, if you want to access it by file manager or computer, just download a file manager(pocket file manager-for me). After receiving the file, try to open the file via file manager. That file will be stored in its local storage. Later, you can move that file from its local storage to phone memory or SD card

Didnt know this, i'll give it a try...
But, if the toast disappears before you tap on it, then you lose the file,
They should modify it to show in the action centre instead.

I was also thinking about it. Toast notification for Bluetooth is not appearing in action centre. That should be fixed

BTW u can now send pdf files using a file manager
All u hav to do is locate the file, which is mostly in the local storage

They srsly have got to fix the Bluetooth option. This always happens with me. When receiving images over Bluetooth, it always stops after two or three images. On the few occasions that it works, I have to tap accept for every image. Even my Symbian Nokia was better in this aspect...
