    File Transfer via Bluetooth Failing


    I could use some help resolving a Bluetooth connectivity issue between my Windows 10 Pro laptop and iPhone (7 and 8)

    • Laptop is Dell Inspirion 15 5559
    • Win OS is Windows 10 Pro Version 1903
    • iPhone OS is iOS 13.1.2 (iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 same iOS and same problem)

    The pairing and connecting process with the laptop and iPhone work normally; both devices indicates a Bluetooth connection exist.

    When the "Send or receive files via Bluetooth" the process is initiated all seems normal but then the process stops with the message "Bluetooth file transfer not completed." This for both send and receive requests. Help would be appreciated as I've been researching as solution for a couple of days.

    Thanks
    FWS

    PS: The irony is my 10 year old Motorola flip phone's Bluetooth process work normally and reliably with this laptop.

    :)

  2. Fault trying to share photos from phone to laptop via Bluetooth


    While waiting for replies I solved this - in Windows 10 by the following steps where -> means click/select.
    1. Start -> Settings-> Devices -> Bluetooth.
    2. At this point ensure Bluetooth is on and device you wish to make the transfer from is listed and paired.
    3. At the bottom of the same page under Related Settings -> Send or receive files via Bluetooth -> Receive files.
    4. The Waiting for connection page appears stay on this page and initiate the transfer from your device.
    5. The file is being received window appears with a progress bar when this is complete you will be asked where to save the file and Finish
    It appears these steps have to be performed for each individual file transferred therefore I've pinned the Settings window with Bluetooth selected to the task bar.

  3. Bluetooth File Transfer not responding

    Hi there, I am able to receive files to my PC using my PC's Bluetooth application, but experience issues when trying to transfer a file from my PC to my mobile device.

    These are the steps I take:

    • Activate Bluetooth on mobile device (Windows Bluetooth already active)
    • Open Send a File option
    • Window opens where you have the option to "Select where to send your files"
    • Select relevant mobile device from the list and click Next

    This is where I get stuck. It stays on this window and all that happens is, the list of devices disappear and not long after this the window says "Not Responding"

    Nothing ever happens from there, so I just open up Task Manager and End the application.

    Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks,

    My response was to the post by user LIRP, who I perceived, rightly or wrongly, as needing a solution to his/her file transfer problem.

    I know the current bluetooth situation is not great, but this forum is aimed (as its name suggests) at providing solutions to people's problems - sometimes, given, as you say, the holes in what Microsoft has provided, these have to be workarounds. I could
    have a rant every time I post such a workaround, but it doesn't seem worth the typing, given that missing functionality needs to be raised on the WP uservoice forum if anyone from Microsoft is going to read it, or so we are told. The bluetooth file transfer
    thread is currently very near the top of the votes list - anyone reading this thread who hasn't already done so can make their voice heard at http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...tions/1549711-support-bluetooth-file-transfer.
