Hi, there are problems transferring files between my laptop and my phone. The symptoms I encountered are strange and I hope for a comprehensive explanation and solution to the problem
Background:
Computer Windows 7 64 Bit
Phone Android 4.0.3
Drivers are all up to date, using Windows Device Manager.
Both devices successfully paired.
Bluetooth is on.
I will describe the steps of my experience in sending and receiving below.
Sending file from computer to phone
Method 1
Right clicked "Bluetooth Devices" icon in system tray > Clicked on "Show Bluetooth Devices" > Right clicked on Bluetooth Device (my only Bluetooth Device) > Clicked "Control" > Clicked "Send files to phone" > Clicked "Browse Files..." > Chose my file > Clicked "Send" > Sending Dialog popped up > On my phone, was asked to authenticate, clicked yes > Sending complete.
In the above steps, sending is SUCCESSFUL.
Method 2
Right clicked on the exact same file I successfully sent above > Click "Send to > Bluetooth" > Bluetooth Send Wizard pops up > Clicked "Next" > Selected Bluetooth Device > Clicked "OK" > Displayed Error
