    I am getting Sending Failed error in mobile every time I try to send something to my Studio 15 from my Nokia N70.

    On the other hand, when I try to send a picture from the laptop to mobile, I get Bluetooth device not found error.

    However, my Bluetooth mouse is working perfectly fine.

    I am running Windows 7 x64 and latest Bluetooth drivers are installed.

    My PC can detect my mobile and vice versa, but unable to receive/send. What should I do?

    Thanks

    I also tried disabling Firewall, nothing happened.

    Tried my N70 on desktop PC with Bluetooth dongle, works great.

    What could be the problem with my Studio being unable to send/receive?

    Alright so I finally got things working perfectly. As stated in this article which is actually meant for XP SP2, I think also applies for Windows 7 coz simliar problem happened. Windows 7 overwrites the existing third-party Bluetooth driver with the device driver that is included with Windows.

    Method 2 didn't work for me, but Method 1 did. I simply uninstalled the Bluetooth drivers, renamed Bth.inf and re-installed Bluetooth drivers. This time everything works just fine.

    Hope it helps others. I could reproduce this problem in Vista too so this solution also applies to Vista.
