Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) reached end-of-life on July 28, 2016.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544701 Title: [REGRESSION] systematically unable to receive files via bluetooth Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I used to be able to send files over bluetooth from my smartphone to my ubuntu laptop. Then at some point bug 958661 appeared, where the undiscoverable setting for receiving files over bluetooth (which cannot be found under any bluetooth-related setting) was turned off without a reason, and also, at random times Ubuntu would start to reject all transfer despite that setting being turned on - but at least there was the workaround to manually switch the setting off and on which would "fix" the issue. Now after upgrading to 15.10 I am simply UNABLE to send any file via bluetooth from the android phone to the ubuntu laptop. ALL transfers systematically fail. On the phone side, sometimes I get "connectuion failed" and sometimes "transfer rejected on target" (I am quoting the messages by memory, so the wording may not be exact). Something as trivial and vital as transfering files over bluetooth is still broken (and gets more broken at every upgrade) after so many years. This is outrageous.
