One of the major feature that was missing from the iPhone bluetooth transfer i.e. transfering file from one device to another via bluetooth. iBluetooth, a third-party app via cydia made this thing happen and allowed the iPhone to transfer any file from the iPhone’s file system to any device.
QuickOffice via AppStore is the only app that allows you to create, view and save word (.doc) and excel files (xls) on your iPhone. You will be amazed to know that a combination of the two (iBluetooth and QuickOffice) actually allows you to transfer these files from your iPhone to any other device via bluetooth (For your information QuickOffice app officially allows you to tranfer files over wifi). However, to make tranfer via bluetooth possible, you need to have quickoffice, ibluetooth as well as iFile Or MobileFinder installed on your iPhone. I prefer iFile as its more stable compared to MobileFinder.
The process is quite simple. The first step is to create a word or excel file from the quickoffice app and save it within the app. You can also save it in a particular folder. Now to send this file you will first need to go to the path var/mobile/applications using ifile. There you would see a list of AppStore applications installed with long wierd titles like 2dfa459 etc. There you nee to check out which app is quickoffice for which you will have to manually go into each folder. In my case the folder name was 2d7e600E-EF2D etc. As you go into the folder, you will see 4 folders namely Documents, Library, Quickoffice.app, tmp and a file named iTunesArtwork. Go to the folder ‘Documents’ and see whether the file is located there or not. I’m sure it would be there if you have saved it.
Now, after locating your file, go to the application iBluetooth and go to the ‘file’ tab below. Then go the the path var/mobile/applications/yourfoldername/documents/yourfile. As you click on the file to be transfered you will see the application searching for devices and then you can send that particular file. You can follow the same procedure to receive a file and then save it in the ‘documents’ folder via iFile.
I know the process is a bit confusing but once you get it right it can do wonders. After this discovery iPhone no longer remains as a less-featured phonecompared to smart phone in the market. Infact, it takes the iPhone to a even more higher level making it almost the ‘KING’ of all mobile phones. The only problem is that this will cost you heavily amlost around $25 if you buy both the apps. However, you can consider saving a few $$ by going for iBlueooth crack on cydia.
