I have succesfully paird my htc hero (running cm7) and my lg saber. When i try to send a file I get connection refused. I am using blueman. I have tried using obexftp from command line and i get this output.
obexftp -b B0:89:91:53:CC:EA -p wavycurls.jpg
Browsing B0:89:91:53:CC:EA ...
Connecting...failed: connect
Tried to connect for 200ms
error on connect(): Permission denied
Still trying to connect
Connecting..\done
Tried to connect for 123ms
Sending "picture.jpg"...-done
Disconnecting..\done
From command line, this does send the file. I presume the front end halts at the permission denied error thus never sending the file. I have other problems interfacing/ browsing my devices but I think they may be related to this and I am unfamiliar with bluetooth neuances in linux.
I am sure this is a linux software/config issue because if I reboot into my hackintosh partition I can send and browse fine, at least with my lg saber.
Any help is appreciated since I cannot find a solution via google.

Hi
I got the same problem on my Arch with Samsung Galaxy S+ android phone, device was successfully paired and authorized (on both sides), it also can send files to PC, but I get connection refused when I try sending files to phone.
Anyway with my old Nokia phone bluetooth file transfers work perfect.
I also have no problems with sending files to android pthone from Windows PC's

I haven't tried it, but maybe you need:
extra/gvfs-obexftp 1.10.1-1
ObexFTP (bluetooth) backend for gvfs
Possibly might need the following as well - as it is needed even for non-gnome desktops for granting permissions.
extra/polkit-gnome 0.105-1
PolicyKit integration for the GNOME desktop

I have gvfs-obex installed, not sure about gnome-polkit. I tried on my desktop with the same bluetooth adapter and got to browse my phone. I had to connect using a bluetooth app on my android phone. If I tried to connect from the computer side and it crashed my phone, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with linux. I have arch installed on both computers. gnome-polkit not installed on desktop. gvfs-obexftp is installed and works with pcmanfm on desktop.
