file transfer via bluetooth

Question

Hi,

I have been trying to connect my laptop with Raspberry pi3. I have the latest version of ISO image file and have all the support software required for the bluetooth to work. I have been trying to connect RPi to my laptop and after all the command it says, the device does not have any Rpi supported service. Same happens when I try connecting my phone to RPi. I am trying to open COM port through bluetooth on RPi. Can anybody please explain?

Hello Margie,

what I found strange (an probably an issue of the Bluetooth layer management) is that the Android device (tested on different Android versions, from 4.5 up to 6.x) should be configured as audio device. Then, Raspberry PI is able to exchange files... I had not yet time to investigate on this detail.
