When I try to send a file from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone to my Ubuntu 12.10 PC, I get a message on the phone reading "connection unsuccessful". What might be the cause of this?
The devices are paired and I can succesfully send files from the PC to the phone.
Search and find "Personal File Sharing" in the dash and activate both check boxes under "Receive Files over Bluetooth". This way you won't have to install blueman.
Install Blueman Bluetooth Manager from the software centre.
Works much better than the default bluetooth manager, I had the same issue as you with the default manager.
Easiest way is to browse the apps for "Personal File Sharing" and select Receive files in Downloads folder over bluetooth. This will enable to send files/photos from your Andriod phone to Ubuntu. It worked for my xperia SL
Blueman seems nice, but all it did was reveal the error when transferring a file ("Connection refused"). After a bit of fiddling, what did the trick was unpairing my phone from my laptop and pairing them again.
Apparently, something in the previous pairing was set up incorrectly, although I've no idea what. :|
Use rfkill to ensure there isn't any hard/soft block on your bluetooth device. Issue:
rfkill list
If block is there, use the unblock option to unblock it:
rfkill unblock wlan1
Replace wlan1 with the type for your bluetooth device.
Refer http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill
i config it through the dconf
make a search using ctrl+f and type in dialog box bluetooth and enable the options that it list to you.
restart you PC and it work!!!
