Bluetooth : unable to find service record

Hello,

I'm the happy owner of a new android smartphone and I'd like to share some files with my computer.
I did the pairing without any problem but when I try to send a file from my computer to the phone using gnome-bluetooth (bluez), I've got an error message "Unable to find service record".

Do you think it's a problem with my computer or with the phone ?
How to fix it ?

Thank you

edit: ok I've an hint. It doesn't works using the applet in the gnome-shell panel but it works if I'm using the command "bluetooth-sendto" in a terminal.

Re: Bluetooth : unable to find service record

I'll add to this that I'm seeing the same thing.  gnome-shell panel sees the phone (Huwaei Ascend) but only the command line actually gets the job done.

The phone also sees the computer, but shows it paired/non connected /not trusted. 

The command line that martvefun used works fine here as well for sending files.

An addendum:  Nautilus > right click > send to... works as well.  It would appear that the gnome-shell applet is the culprit, not the actual bluetooth connectivity.
