I have just tried to send a file from my phone to my laptop running KDE 4.8.0
and it fails; the two devices never bind. When I set up the laptop it was
running KDE 4.6.3 and bluetooth worked fine. The BlueZ libraries have changed
substantially since, I think. Using 'hcitool inq' works fine, it's the KDE
dialogs which sit there searching endlessly. Any recommended settings for
/etc/bluetooth/*? Doc is a bit hard to come by.
TIA
-Robin

Not exactly on-topic, but I recently got my bluetooth headset working
without any major hassle using net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth by
- Building the appropriate communications-types modules
- Starting the bluetooth init script
- Running bluetooth-wizard to pair and bluetooth-applet to connect/disconnect

I'm using net-wireless/bluedevil-1.2.2 and I do not have any such problems.
However, I'm not using the whole KDE desktop and I'm still on KDEPIM 4.4.11.1

I have never been able to pair in a2dp mode and pulseaudio with either
kdebluetooth nor gnome bluetooth, only blueman seems to be doing a
good job for that

I had a go at browsing the filesystem on my Blackberry. It won't work.
obexftp fails in each case to list the contents on the BB internal flash. When
looking under Known Devices on the Bluedevil applet on the desktop, it says:
"No supported services found"
which make me think that the way this BB is set up, it won't share its fs with
a PC.
if your run:
# sdptool browse <your_device_MAC_address>
it will list a number of services that the device supports after you connect
it to your PC.
Although I could not browse any files using Dophin or obexftp, I was able to
send and receive files using obex push.
HTH.

I tried the browse but got "Protocol not supported". :(

Hmm ... odd!
Have you compiled all the necessary BT drivers in your kernel/as
modules? Are they loaded?

I am glad we had this little chat! I always pass my kernel configs from
release to release, so I went and checked the bluetooth section, and lo, it
looks like it got reorganised some time after version 3.0.0 and lots of
options were no longer checked. Fixed that and now bluetooth works: I can
transfer files and browse the phones storage.
Thanks for giving me a nudge. :)

Are you aware of "make oldconfig", which will interactively walk you
through the changes to the config layout?

Of course, but I am lazy and usually you get away with it. ;)
