Public bug reported: With recent updates to Ubuntu 12.04, OBEX file browsing of Bluetooth devices is working again, but still not quite as well as it was in the 10.x series.
This is a Samsung NC-20 working with a Nokia C5. In particular, OBEX file browsing is extremely slow, at least using Nautilus. It was never exactly snappy, but it was nowhere near this slow in Ubuntu 10.10. >From the Gnome bluetooth-applet, click the item corresponding to my phone, and >pull down "Browse Files..." . An icon for the phone promptly appears on the desktop. But after this, things grind to a halt. It typically takes a couple of minutes to open a directory, even a directory containing a single directory item. 100% reproducible on this system. Other Bluetooth functions are quite fast. For instance, I browse the web over BT DUN connections, and it feels like a fast modem. Please have a look at this! We're almost there! ** Affects: bluez (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004601 Title: OBEX file browsing extremely slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1004601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
