Hi there. I have a KFHD7 (old model) running CM11 (the latest monthly) and I have a serious issue with my bluetooth. I am not quite sure when it happened, could have happened before I first flashed CM (before I was running Kinology).
I can send files normally to other people, I cannot receive any though. Makes sense because my bluetooth folder is really odd. When I go to /sdcard I have the Bluetooth folder, but inside it there's another Bluetooth folder and in it another and another... In general, this thing doesn't end. If I try deleting any of these folders through a file explorer app, the app crashes, if I try doing it through windows explorer when I've got my tablet hooked on my pc, the device stops responding.
Any ideas? I don't care if I'm stuck with this folder in my device (it's empty so it doesn't take up any space), but I'd like to at least be able to receive files so if there's a way to create another bluetooth folder, this works as well. Please help me out!

This by far one of the toughest phones I've had. I can't use the dock to sync as it only gives it power and local Bluetooth audio.
Ok, I tried connecting to the USB cable directly. Nope, I have tried many time to copy files to the SD card. I can mount it but it will only stay connected for a short time. It's seems as soon as any other application tries to read it the phone dismounts the SD card. I can tell it to mount again but then whatever program I'm using crashes because the SD card has disappeared in the middle of a file transfer. Anyway...
So, now I try Bluetooth to the PC. Nope, the PC and the Nexus One can see each other but if I try to pair from either the PC or the phone they fail to pair. The computer pairs with a keyboard, mouse, HTC Cruise (just did it for the first time and went like clockwork) and a Plantronics head set. The Nexus One has paired with the Plantronics head set. With the HTC Cruise it asks for a pass code on the phone and the PC but the Nexus just fails without asking for anything. I have also set it as discoverable.
Help!
Edit I disconnected and unpaired the Plantronics headset and then was able to pair with the PC. The android Bluetooth implementation seems to be a little buggy. I was then able to re-pair the Plantronics headset.
The is no android desktop "sync" most of your phone data is kept in the cloud by default, so it's much less relevant. If you want to copy data to your sdcard, you install the usb driver, plug in your phone and select "Select to copy files to/from your computer" from the notification area.
However the current drivers seem unreliable in win7, we're not sure if win7 or the drivers are to blame.
As an aside if you install "ES File explorer" from the android marked you can access windows file shares via wifi.
There are _no_ bluetooth profiles for file transfer in default android.
I still think there are a lot of people that like to sync MP3s and pictures to their phone with various apps. When data plans are free and way faster than they are now, maybe I'd say that the really fast free connection to my PC is less relevant.
What is the best way to sync MP3s from the PC? ES File Explorer?
Hi, All,
When I'm browsing my Captivate from my MacBook, I only see directories, no individual files. Any idea why? I'm able to browse my Nokia E71 and see files with no problems.
Thanks,
Bill
Totally thread necromancy here but I have the exact same problem. I can drag new files into the bluetooth file exchange window and they do show up on the phone's storage but the operation completes with no feedback. I cannot get the phone itself to send a file via bluetooth to the Macbook, however. I've tried watching the logs both in ADB and watching the system.log on the Macbook. Nothing really useful shows up.
I'm running stock Froyo on the phone and 10.7 on my new MacBook Air.
Same as the above. Anyone have a solution?
With official AT&T upgrade (2.2), I can connect to the phone from my Macbook Pro via Bluetooth, and browse.
I see all the directories, but no files at all.
Also, the "Send" button is grayed out, so I cant send files to my phone.
Is Bluetooth file transfer broken on this release?
Or am I just doing something wrong?

Get bluetooth file transfer app in market.
I haven't experienced any issues with bluetooth file transfer since the update. Running stock 2.2 Captivate, and a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I see the same thing on my Mac, has been the same across multiple Captivate ROMs. I presume it's a Mac / Galaxy compatibility issue.
Is it possible to push files from my Bionic to my laptop using Bluetooth, if it is I can not do this. This seems like a very basic operation.
I can push music from my phone to my laptop and it plays on my laptop fine.
I have downloded and used the app called "Bluetooth File Transfer" and it seems to work to some degree but not when I want to push, say, a photo from phone to laptop.
I have paird Bionic with laptop and laptop to phone, that works, I have sent file from laptop to Bionic no problems there. I have browsed phone with laptop using BT.
When I try to send file from Bionic to laptop I always get the same error message "Transfer Failed".
When I look into the Device Manager I find there is a number of drivers the laptop seems to want to download but never finds the right one.
When the Bluetooth File Transfer app runs it tells me I need the OBEXFTP and or Object Push Profile, but I can not seem to find the correct one for my Bionic.
Anyone know what is going on here?
P.S. Seems to me (like I said before) a very basic thing to want to do, I could do it with my old Imagio on the WM OS, why can I not do this on the BT 3.0?

I use blue tooth file transfer myself without problem. Maybe the problem is your laptop?

Hello,
I've successfully managed to install and am running Android 7.1.2 using ua_ovation-7.1.2-20181227-1654 on my NOOK HD+, and it's running great. No issues with WiFi connections or lagging, or many other issues expressed by others here. However, I've been unable to use MTP USB configuration in order to transfer files to their respective folders in the tablet, and I haven't found any postings regarding this issue.
I would like to transfer audio and video files, as well as documents into their proper respective folders, however, when I select "MTP" in "Select USB Configuration", you here the disconnect sound from the PC and the tablet is not accessible. However, it does connect and I am able to transfer any file to the tablet when I select "PTP", but the caviot is in the fact that the only folders which can be accessed are the "DCIM" and "Pictures".
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Your help is much appreciated.

No answer, but this will support your issue and hopefully help derive some assistance. I also am running A 7.1.2 under LineageOS version 14.1-20171216_unofficial-ovation. I have (precisely as you described) the same issues. All was well until I finally updated my Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 after the first major upgrade last Fall. The problem only arose with W11 as all was well with W10. Since the HD+ 8.9 inch screen continues to be the "Goldilocks" of useful "reading" screen sizes, I would like to continue using it. Any thought or help would be greatly appreciated.
