bluetooth
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.
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
I am not sure if there is any good way using native bluetooth app that ships with ubuntu but I am going to use a pretty old app called blueman.
install it using
sudo apt-get install blueman
Now from unity search (from dash) for blueman and you will get bluetooth manager click on that and you will get window and blueman service will be enabled.
now you can see two bluetooth icons on top panel of unity. one will be native and other will be blueman's
click on blueman's icon and click local services.
Now a new window **Local Services** pops up, in it click on 'network' and enable Network Access point, click apply and save it.
Now you can access internet using bluetooth of your computer after pairing them and connecting.
Best Answer
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.
