Comments for Google is censoring Bluetooth on Android: the proof! at http://www.medieval.it , comment 1 to 16 out of 16 comments http://www.medieval.it Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:32:33 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-186 Have used BT File xfer for several months on T-Mo G2 running 2.2. Got update to Gingerbread this week and it continued to work...for a couple of days. Now I get 'internal file server error' or "connection refused" when trying to send files from my laptop running Linux Mint to my phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled...still doesn't work. Could it be Google tampering? At one point the error was that I had to log back into my Google account, although I don't remember ever logging out of it on this phone. - Ken Browne Wed, 07 Sep 2011 17:06:17 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-148 I think it's maybe because of the whole bluetooth hack years ago, bluejacking. I find many apps don't work or are not available on the market but were available on simple symbian phones. On the old SonyEricsson K750 you could go into somebody elses phone and steal files once paired. the abilities were removed from phones after that. Maybe the older systems 1.5/1.6 had flaws that made them vulnerable. Bad how they are not contacting you to explain the reasons why they filter your apps. - corps Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:49:01 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-85 no comment - sadanand gautam Sun, 13 Feb 2011 07:20:57 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-82 Can anyone please help me ?

I think there are api-version or security reasons. nevertheless you are right about contacting google officials. Thats kinda helplessness. btw. I just downloaded from google market and on the journey looking for ad-free version.... - Tyra Misoux Sat, 08 Jan 2011 12:02:37 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-45 Oh, sorry... I see you were talking about only 1.5/1.6 devices. Indeed, all the Bluetooth classes say "Since: API Level 5" which is Android 2.0 release 1. So it sort of makes sense that applications that require BT privileges would also be restricted OSes with API levels that include the BT APIs. But I'm probably missing something key to what's got you upset. Thanks for a great application regardless! - Dave Brown Mon, 08 Nov 2010 20:40:39 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-44 No problem finding "bluetooth medieval", downloading and installing 3.95 version from marketplace today (November 8 2010) on a "T-Mobile (HTC) G2 with Google" Maybe you could/should update this page? - Dave Brown Mon, 08 Nov 2010 20:30:16 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-37 want to try - jiten Mon, 25 Oct 2010 06:27:39 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-35 Found the app, and it works on my phone (Garminfone) This phone has been rooted, kinda. It has to be rooted every reboot, and the app was installed without re-rooting. (Android 1.6....mostly) - SuperS_5 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:14:01 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-23 does bluetooth file transfer even work on cupcake and donut..? only thing i can think is that they remove it because it doesn't support it - john Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:05:56 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-12 That's not fair, thought. Surely, BlueFTP is the best bluetooth and file manager phone application I ever use. And it priced so cheap that affordable for everyone. I like Medieval. I'll be on your side! Hopefully, medieval could grow to one of the best software developer...:) - Ardan Sat, 17 Jul 2010 09:58:20 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-11 I agree with Ash Semien. In the not so commonly used Symbian OS, Bluetooth viruses were very common. Keep waiting on that response, maybe it will be fruitful! - arox Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:37:01 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-10 Well, you guys are no better than Google at answering customers' questions by email. You shouldn't talk bad about your "bad" experience with Google because I have "bad" experience with you guys then. You guys do not answer my emails about questions regarding development. - Cho Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:57:12 +0100 http://www.medieval.it/google-is-censoring-bluetooth-on-android-the-proof/menu-id-66.html#comment-9 perhaps it could be a security measure on Google's behalf to stop malicious software. NOT that your's is but I can see from a security standpoint where temporarily disabling Bluetooth apps could protect millions of users if a serious vulnerability existed. - ash semien Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:34:31 +0100
