I am currently running the Google I/O JellyBean OTA on my non Google I/O Nexus (hope that makes sense :S) and I am trying to send some MP3's from my Nexus to my Retina MacBook Pro via Bluetooth.
I have paired the devices together and they both see each other no problem, however, when I try to send the files I get a "Connection Unsuccessful" error from the Nexus and the file does not send?
Anyone else get this, and do you have any ideas how I can fix this?
Cheers

I get this error trying to send a file over BT. "File transfer failed: internal error".
I've not had very good luck using BT with my Galaxy Nexus and MacBook Pro. Bluetooth tethering can't be trusted for more than 5min without disconnecting.

Heh, the reason I wrote it (and subsequently forgot to write it in the OP) is that the Retina MBP had Bluetooth 4.0, wasn't sure if this made a difference?

I have noticed that some of my files on my SD Card are not showing up in the list on Android File Transfer? I have 2 MP3's in a folder which I want to transfer, but they don't show up? I tried putting them into a .zip file also, and that doesn't show up either?
Anyone have any ideas?

All my files show. You can use some apps to have the phone re-scan for media and update the listing, although mine's always done just fine.

No joy.
The files show fine on the phone, just not on Android File Transfer.
Might just email them or fire up my bootcamp partition!

I can vouch that this fix does work, posted on post 710 of the [PRJ][GSM&CDMA][CAB&RAR] XDAndroid AOSP Port & Startup Utility [8/26] SOUND IS FIXED! thread
to install:
1. delete current modules.tar file in your andboot folder
2. place both files contained in the .rar above in the andboot folder.
3. boot android and enjoy.
I find that this fix makes the android music player a bit more responsive some how as well, before it would lagg a lot but with this fix its almost flowing like it would on a regular android device.
thank you so much for posting the fix here

theres a problem with this fix, replacing the .tar file only does not fix the problem nor does it mess anything up
replacing the zimage as well does fix the problem HOWEVER, it also stops wifi from working =(

Not true, I have this fix installed on my latest BLAZN build and wifi is working for me, so is my 3g data and calls. Load times are the same, and all i've noticed is that virtual keyboards are a bit slow. Market place is still working. Also Facebook account seems to not be able to sync on the phone under accounts and you cannot create a new account for facebook, but the facebook app does work.

thats strange, cause i did a fresh install of android through the cab and then used this fix to fix the static, but my wifi doesn't turn on then, it says error when trying to turn it on.
I should mention i have a tilt 2, might have different results depending on carrier version?
Does this also fix the headphones? Because currentky there is no sound when you plug in headphones

hmm, i have a tilt 2 as well, Running Energy Rom, Wifi works for me, so does data, GPS and MMS.
do a fresh install of android again from the cab, this time verify that wifi does or doesnt work before you do the fix if wifi is working try the fix and see if that breaks it.
It may just be that the install went bad somewhere along the line and thats why you dont have wifi, but truly I have no idea.
great fix i havent tried using the facebook app but it beats the hell outta the static im sure in the next build ref put together everthing will work im waiting on the keyboard fix (tp2)

Hi, guys. I having trouble sending files over bluetooth. With my GSG2 it's working like charm, but with GN I need to start third party app lik Bluetooth file transfer in order to receive file. Is it possible to do this in normal way? On the GSG2 I was authorized the phone to accept files from my PC without prompting me, but GN even didn't ask for this. When I try to send a file, I receiving only the error message on the PC and nothing on the phone. If I start BT file trasnfer app, it's work.
+1 on this problem, cant transfer anything to GN but not a problem from it to any device
when I try with "Bluetooth File Explorer" it says Bluetooth FIle Receiving Service cannot start.
Did you try making it discoverable?
I face no such probs, i rarely use it anyways, wifi is way way way way faster.

Yeah I know it's faster with wifi, but when ur not at home bluetooth is the way anyway, have u tried sending a file from ur pc to ur phone or from another phone to ur GN? If yes then I guess it's time to wipe everything and reflash the firmware and if this doest help, oh well, RMA it

I have had a few problems but have found a solution myself:
Just put everything in a zipped folder, transfers fine every time without third party software!
Hope this helps
Hmm I'd like to know a solution to this too. Sending files from my phone works fine, but I tried sending something from my laptop earlier and it didn't work

if you say "bluetooth is the way to go when wifi is not available" why dont you use wireless hotspot, and run a http server, or a ftp server, or simply dropbear on your device? then your friend can connect to your phone's hotspot ssid, and get whatever he wants. it works great if the other person isn't using some last century phone.

Yes ur suggestion is good for big files, but for small files bluetooth is more convenient, for me at least i think once wifi direct is more common, "bluetooth file transfer" is gonna die

Does anyone have another solution? Zipping/unzipping things is a minor hassle but it's still a hassle, I bet the iPhone doesn't have this problem..
So i'll make it short, my friend accidently deleted a folder of my DCIM and most of my pics taken and not yet backed up is gone.
I've searched for recovery softwares and all of them require a mass storage mounted to recover them. so with Gnex uses MTP, i am totally screwed am I?
Does anyone have any linux method to mount this thing, and recover the files? Got many pics and 3 videos in it.
I feel like crying...
are you on mac?
IDK if you are screwed, but if you had a dropbox account and beta app - it automatically uploads your pictures to drop box...
It is actually an official app now.

For future reference, leave auto-upload on, but only let it upload on WiFi. That way you get some backup happening still....

Thanks man. I really do hope we can mount USB storage on Gnex someday. though it has low probability of happening.
Would really love to see that happen in the near future. But as someone suggested, leave it to wi-fi only. I have that set up and you won't even have to worry about anything. All automatic from there. Haven't tried dropbox yet, but I might. I'll let you know how it works if you want.
i set it up both. just in case~
I have tried all options, to get my files to transfer using my usb cable, to my computer. I can't download a file to the device, nor can I copy/paste files to and from it, either. I have tried multiple cables, and even when it shows the phone is connected, I still cannot do a thing other than copy small files to it. This is a MAJOR problem, as I do not want to use AirDroid...it doesn't see every file I want to transfer...and something so simple as ancient usb file transfers are not working with this phone. My SGS2 worked just fine...but any help that you can give me would be appreciated. And yes, I have googled the hell out of the inquiry...just none that seem to fix my issues. :good:
what happens when "it doesnt work".
what operating system is your computer? windows I'll guess? Does it show in my computer? can you browse the files on the phone? Or do you get a message from the OS? whats the message it gives you??...

Windows 7 64-bit...It DOES show in MY COMPUTER...yes, I CAN browse the files, yet I cannot move them, nor can I download or copy to the folders. There are also times where I get the Hardware Id Missing error, even after installing Kies or uninstalling it. Sometimes it shows up as USB Mass Storage Device in device manager, other times it shows up as Samsung I-747.
Out of curiosity, have you tried a different cable? I had a similar problem on my phone. I'd try to upload a file to the phone, even a small one, and it would go very slowly and eventually time out. I tried another usb cable and it worked fine.

I think you have a legitimate phone issue sir; sounds like you're due for a replacement. The folks on Verizon are having to replace there's left and right. I think samsung let their quality control slip on this one.

Because earlier lots of people lost their imei from flashing stuff. So imei backup tools were made. If you never have done that youre fine. Might be something else like reinstalling drivers
