It is normal in the case of the PlayBook, the bluetooth does not support the file transfer protocol, unless it is paired with a BlackBerry phone using the Bridge, and it is limited to receiving pictures and only for viewing on PlayBook not saving
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

    For some reason PC suite dont have that option to see inbox messages received via bluetooth would be better if it comes in the future PC suite updates only way to see it to open and save those files on to your phone and access it using file manager, also its easy too

  • I have just taken a new iphone 4s. I am unable to transfer files using bluetooth. what is the problem?

    unable to transfer files to any of the devices.. mac, my nokia phones, anything. pls give me some solution to fix it .

    Look in the iTunes App Store, there are both BT and Wi-Fi apps for transfering files of different sorts.
    Or you can use an app like Dropbox.

  • Difficulty with recieving files through bluetooth from others

    you need to help me... PLEASE
    I'm having difficulties with receiving files from others via bluetooth. I've tried pairing, but its not working.
    When i go to media  for the "receive using bluetooth" option all it does is display "file transfer-waiting for connection" message.
    i can send things to people, but not the other way around,
    PLEASE ASSIST!!!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    See this KB:
    KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
    Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending device. Do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do. Also do not skip initiating the send on the sending device -- you said nothing about that, so I must assume you did not do that step.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Send/Recieve files via bluetooth failes

    I use gnome-bluetooth and can successfully pair my phone to the pc, but if I try to send files to phone via BT I get the following error:

    The transfer of files from the phone to the pc also failes.

    I have the same problem. Installing obexd-client solved the issue with gnome-bluetooth (bluetooth-sendto). Blueman still won't send files from computer to phone (it says "Remote device refused connection" after a while).

  • Play book bluetooth unable to receive files

    I have just started using my playbook but i am having trouble sending files e.g music, pics and videos to my playbook via bluetooth. i have successfully paired my devices to my playbook but when i try to send via bluetooth i get the message "failed to find service". I have tried to send using my 8520, and i also made sure that my playbook bluetooth was on and discoverable but still with no success.

    I don't think you can transfer files over bluetooth:

    Hi
    I got Nokia 3110 classic mobile, I was unable to store received files(from bluetooth, IR etc) in Memory card. It gets stored into phone memory, i have to manually move it to memory card. But the phone memory is too low, so i cant transfer large files.
    Any solution to change the default saving option to Memory card instead of phone memory.

  • 5800 - cannot copy files over bluetooth in Windows...

    Hi Guys,
    I have always been able to connect my 5800 to my computer through bluetooth. It used to work on XP as well as Vista. Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 - I have been unable to copy files from my computer to my phone through bluetooth. (Phone to computer file copy works fine).
    The phone connects to the PC quickly - but if I try to copy - using windows explorer or even using the File Manager of PC Suite - then I am not able to copy files correctly. It shows me a dialog box saying "Do you want to copy <<Filename>> to your device? Your device may not be able to play or view this file" If I still choose to copy then it copies a file of zero bytes! 
    Has anybody experienced this? Please help.
    Heres my configuration --
    Phone - Nokia 5800
    PC OS - Windows 7
    PC Suite - 7.1.51.0
    Thanks!

    Are you using built in bluetooth or a dongle ? I had problems with mine, (using a bluetooth usb dongle) on Windows 7, and to be honest don't know how it was solved ! Few times computer says installing drivers failed (although Ovi Suite would connect ok) then a few days ago bluetooth file manager started working !!!!!!!!!! Can only assume some new drivers compatible with Win7 have been released by samsung, who made my dongle. Sorry it's not a lot of help, but may be worth checking the web for bluetooth drivers for Win 7 ?
    Good Luck
    ps drag and drop via usb cable is much quicker !!

  • Transfering recieved files to the memory-card!!!!

    Hi,
    I transfer files/pictures to my E71 via the Bluetooth but have a couple of problems!
    1- If the file is bigger then the available phone memory (max 110 meg!) then i can't transfer! That i understand but does it exist any way to configure the phone to save the recieved files directly to the memory-card?
    2- Those files that do get transfered to the phone, you have to open first before being able to transfer it ti the memory-card! Problem is some times the phone memory is not enough to even open it so you can't open it nor save it on the memory-card!
    3- There seem to be NO "transfer file" option between the phone memory and the card memory!
    Anyone knows something?
    Cheer's

    If you go into Messaging, hit Options, choose Settings and then Other, then you can change the "Memory in use" from phone memory to the memory card. After that all incoming messages will be stored on the memory card.
    You can also use Nokia PC Suite and use its Windows Explorer extension (Nokia Phone Browser) to copy files directly to the memory card also over Bluetooth (without going through Messaging at all).
