  • Did you pair those devices? Press the Super key, type Bluetooth, and follow directions (can't go into details as I have no BT adapter right now).

  • @htorque Could you please tell me, what do you mean by the super key? Should I press it alone or in combination with some other key?

Had the same problem with SGS2, solved by going (on pc) into Bluetooth Preferences -> Receive Files and switching "Receive files into Download folder over bluetooth" back and forth

Well I did have this problem and I just figured this out. Make sure your computer has "Allow Bluetooth Devices To Find This Computer" selected. Then follow this:

Start -> search -> Bluetooth File Transfer

Click this then click "Receive Files". Now you are ready to receive files from any other devices!

I think it works brilliantly but I am using Windows 7. It might be different for Windows XP. But I am sorry, I don't know. Hope this helped!

Based on the error you have received, I would suggest you to install something like "blueman" since it have better options and I bet this will solve your issue because I too have the same issue with my sony ericsson.

Installation is pretty simple, just search blueman in synaptic/software center.

Click on the Bluetooth applet > Properties > Enable receive files, then try it again.

Finish, then go for new transfer.
