I attempt to copy a file from my Ubuntu 20.04 machine to an Android phone via bluetooth. I follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/bluetooth-send-file.html.en The devices are paired. After selecting the file to copy to the phone, there is the message "There was an error".

How do I diagnose this?

You can see the error message using:

journalctl -r -t obexd

which for example could be:

obexd: Transfer Error: Unsupported Media Type

which indicates that the file format is not accepted by the destination device (in this case the workaround would be: zip it and send the zip file).

I try to send a file created by an app I made from Android to PC and I have the same error. I closed the APP and problem persists. If I change the name of the file the problem is solved. I don't understand what the problem is.
