    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

  2. 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!

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

  4. s6102 setting > Application > Running Services > Bluetooth share > Stop

    Finish, then go for new transfer.

  5. 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.
