Unable to transfer ether from one contract to another

Question

Here is my contract function:

function DoTransfer() payable {
    address objAddress = 0x29662dA5D870FFb39201A8320214421eE9fE9D25;
    objAddress.transfer(.05 ether);
}

Here is the Javascript that calls that function:

var abi = [{"constant":false,"inputs":[],"name":"getCreator","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"constant":false,"inputs":[],"name":"getLastDepositer","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"constant":false,"inputs":[],"name":"getLastTransferror","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"constant":false,"inputs":[],"name":"DoDeposit","outputs":[],"payable":true,"stateMutability":"payable","type":"function"},{"constant":false,"inputs":[],"name":"DoTransfer","outputs":[],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"constructor"}]
var MyContract = web3.eth.contract(abi);
var myContractInstance = MyContract.at('0x4E4B55f3e97D1296260012a633285972A4A57f35');

myContractInstance.DoTransfer.sendTransaction({from:"0x3d86B4D6f28554428E5AF38490DD1977691A3082"},function(error, result){
    if(!error) {
        console.log("#" + result + "#")
    } else {
        console.error(error);
    }
})

It returns a transaction ID, no error is shown, but the .05 ether is not transferred.

Answer 1

The problem is destination 0x29662dA5D870FFb39201A8320214421eE9fE9D25 is a contract and the transfer is executing the fallback function.

In the vm trace there's an exception in the receiving contract

[93]    90  JUMPDEST    2171    1   2
[94]    91  PUSH1   2170    3   2
[95]    93  DUP1    2167    3   2
[96]    94  REVERT  2164    3   2
 An error occurred during contract execution: exception

Which propagates to the sender and causes it to fail.

This anser is not correct, see Ismaels comment below!

The bug seems in the javascript code. You are calling sendtransaction() on the function body. Just omit the .sendTransaction part like this:

myContractInstance.DoTransfer({from:"0x3d86B4D6f28554428E5AF38490DD1977691A3082"
},function(error, result){
    if(!error) {
        console.log("#" + result + "#")
    } else {
        console.error(error);
    }
})

because you say there is no exception, so the target contract address should already have fallback function to accept the ether,

so now your issue is that you got transaction id but the 0.5ether not transferred, I guess high probability is that you transferred 0.5 wei, not 0.5 ether, it doesn't reflect as the amount is too low, make sure you transfer the correct amount, please be aware that per document, the unit of transfer is wei, not ether

<address payable>.transfer(uint256 amount): send given amount of Wei to Address,

if all the above is not the case, then there is another possibility: the fallback function in your target address has some code logic inside, which will return received ether to the sender, just a guess, I even don't know whether this can work
