hello guys, thanks for your efforts
i just wanted to know if there is any information that SE future phones will have possibility to use them like talkie-walkie, in some nokia phones its already possible, or are ther any bluetooth program that can do that? i mean sending messages or talking or beeping another phone without using operator?
thnks in advance
I don't think there is a point in using bluetooth for talking cuz there is a ~10m (~30ft) working distance for the bluetooth in phones. U can send messeges via bluetooth to other SE phones as notes.
great! i write large notes using myphoneexplorer and i could send them! bluetooth is limited by distance, so are there any other method using wireless to talk or send messges to other phones without using gsm?
No, there is no other way :) as far as I know.
I saw such app for SE - it was afwul :(
Its is a great idea i hope there may be some progy.
maybe it could be possible if the blootooths were v2 so it would support 100m it would make sense to use phones as a walkie talkie.
Getjar.com has many apps like btooth chat. Both fone will need to sun the app. There is also MXIT used to chat, its the best chat app i've ever used and it costs less and can chat with users all over our planet. I dont think there is a way to send sms's or talk to other fones bypassing the operator.
i had downloaded an app and i chat with a friend with bluetooth.It was called"bluetooth messenger"
So, tell us more about how is it?Quote:

I had tried using a bluetooth messenger...
i app i was using requires 1 phone to be a server and other phones can join the chat room if they r in range.
in my opinion, this app is useless but its fun to try :P
where I find this program?
getjar.com maybe?:DQuote:

there are apps to download that use push to talk (walkie talkie) but only for smartphones so far :(
I Thought that nokia push to talk function uses the provider (so the provider has to support this function).
I donnot think that it would be ever bt class1 (for 100m) on cellphones because of limited battery.
As far bt chat, it is very intresting and i used some of them on my se k750i phone (java application). In some occations they are usefull despite the 10m bt limitation!
you mean talkie-walkie like nokia's 6300 PTT (push-to-talk)?
Yes, we are referring to this function.Quote:

i think so good idea
c'est terrible un truc comme ca!
like PTT ?
yep, like PTT
I don't think there's a way of doing this by software, it depends on the GSM operator, unless you find a way to use the phone's transciever and use it directly. But this will probably be possible only in a small area, limited by the GSM operator's retransmitters (or am I wrong?)
Although this would be great :) but the phone companies won't have profit from this.
glx, you are wright, for such systems you need the operator. As far as i know in countries that use PTT, it is supported by the operator with charge.
u mean u send text free using myphoneexplorer
this is a great idea... very handy especially if person to contact is just within vicinity...
moneysaver too
well maybe that's the cause that this functionality isn't really available :)Quote:

money, money, money :rolleyes:
from where u download "bluetooth messenger"
i've a app called "bluetooth walkie-talkie", but i don't se working like or how i do...
A few providers are trying to push PTT and I have not seen anything by SE reffering to them jumping on this bandwagon. I dont know why most (if not all) cell providers dont use this feature becuase its another marketing gimick for them to push... but its also another great feature to have, even if it is a 'just in case'.
I do wish that SE added the PTT on their phones.
I hava one app-bluechat
and i chat with my brother by bluetooth
maybe from 10m,cuz my phone is K800 and the bluetooth coverage is ~10m
Now i will try bluetooth walkie-talkie
How to make more bluetooth coverage ???
It is possible ???
i think se shoul make something original similar to ptt. i would make it with extra hardware that supports cb (citizen band), and making it independant from the operator.
don't think it's possible to increase the bluetooth range.
from memory it's more of a hardware or protocol thing?
so unless phone makers put in bluetooth v2, you'll be stuck on 10m
Bluetooth are separated in class A (100meters coverage) and class B (10meter coverage).
Class A is using by the most of the pc's and laptops.
Class B is using by mobile phones, bluetooth headset,...etc.
