Hi everyone, im not the best with the puter. ANyway i have mobile phone and wanted to transfer various pics from phone to pc and also ringtones from pc to mobile. I bought one online and it came with bluesoliel cd which i installed. All was well and i got much of my stuff from mobile to pc (although i have no idea where it went) THEN all of a sudden it said evaluation mode ended. My question is WHAT DO I DO NOW!!!!...i thought this dongle would allow me to transfer unlimited info back and forth...now im stuck...Ive Googled things and it seems that they want me to pay for updated program now. ANYONE out there know if there is a free unlimited download that i can use or have ANY USEFUL INFO on what i should do next. CHEERS to everyone who may help :-)

— a bundled Bluetooth program that stops working after a trial doesn't mean the dongle is useless. There are three practical routes: switch to the operating system's Bluetooth support, use a direct cable or card reader, or buy the vendor license. Both and were pointing at the cable/manufacturer-software option, which is often the quickest and most reliable fix.

If you want to keep using Bluetooth without paying for the bundle, uninstall the trial software first (Programs and Features), reboot, then plug the dongle back in so the OS can load its native drivers. Make the phone discoverable, add/pair the device from Windows (Settings -> Bluetooth & devices or Control Panel -> Devices and Printers depending on your Windows version), then use the OS "Send/Receive files" or the Bluetooth file transfer wizard to move files. If pairing fails, check Device Manager for the dongle under Bluetooth Radios and update/remove drivers there before replugging.

Using a USB/data cable or the phone maker's PC suite bypasses Bluetooth entirely. Connect the phone, choose "Mass storage" or "MTP" on the phone (or install the vendor suite for older feature phones), then drag and drop pictures and ringtones. Removing the microSD and using a card reader is even simpler if the phone and files permit it.

If files were already transferred and you can't find them, open the Bluetooth program settings (if still installed) to see the "save received files" folder. If it's gone, search your PC for recently modified image/audio files (sort by date) or scan common folders like Pictures, Downloads, and Documents. Final caution: third-party Bluetooth stacks can conflict with the OS stack, so always fully uninstall the trial before switching.

Most of the mobile phones come with USB cable through which you can connect your mobile phone with pc and either synchronize stored data (contacts, calendar, notes) or transfer files (music, images, video). For example I have Sony Ericsson and I can use Sony Ericsson pc suite to do all this. It would be helpful if you can post your phone maker and model in possible.
