Unable to see files on Samsung phone with bluetooth
Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2012 7:29 am
Hi all,
I've recently got a new phone, a Samsung GT E2120 (it's a bottom of the range Samsung, but has all I need on it). It does bluetooth, and I can connect laptop (Mint xfce Maya 64 bit) and phone fine, except I can't see files. File transfer is one of the main things I want to do, because I'm also using the phone as an MP3 player. I can see directories fine, on both the phone itself and the micro SD card I added. This happens both when I browse and when I look in directories I know have files in with obexftp on the command line (the first command shows a directory being listed, the second files not being listed):
This folder has 100 MP3 files in it.
Does anyone have any tips as to how I can work out what the problem is? The bluetooth adaptor is a cheap Toshiba one plugged in a USB port (sold as Teknika).
Many thanks,
Simon
