Updated my k750i today to firmware R1BC002 from something terribly old. Everything great until I try to transfer files to my phone via bluetooth!

If I do one file, it's okay. If I do any more than that, I get a message in Bluetooth File Exchange saying "Waiting for target to reply".

Nothing happens...then the connection is lost.

Does anyone know what I can do about this? Don't want to have to cart the cable around with me to transfer files!

Thank you,

Lawrence.

Have you tried completely deleting all pairing information from the phone and Mac and then re-pairing the phone?

What version of OS X are you using?

On the phone, check the following setting:

Settings > Connectivity> Bluetooth > My Devices > Select your Mac > More > Allow connection > Always

Also, check out the following thread:

Cheers,

I just tried re-pairing the phone, and yeah the "always" is checked, but same behaviour.



(PS. 10.4.5...)

Okay, well, suppose I pair the device. Then, I can transfer a single file. Any more, and I get "waiting for target to reply".

Neither restarting the phone nor restarting Bluetooth File Exchange will remedy it, only re-pairing. Which will only let me do one more file...

This only since firmware update.

Update:

Retrieving files *from* the phone is fine...thank God!

It just doesn't reply when the computer wants to send...

Be thankful that its only bluetooth problems your having.
Immediately after I upgraded to R1BC002 all of the top buttons of the phone stopped working
I'd run a mile for a snowdevl!
