    Hi, my DUO 13 bluetooth functions well except it cannot send file. It could receive file from other devices via bluetooth, and form a bluetooth personal area network to send file via shared folders, but it just cannot send file to other devices via the 'send to' menu! It prompts 'abort operation, no services found' error whenever I click 'send' to a paired device.

    I have the latest driver installed, and it appears that the same problem seems to exist in multiple Sony machines from a Bing search. So I'd like to know if any of you VAIO owners experience the same issue. Thanks.

    ok, I figured that out. I have to manually tap 'receive a file' on the bluetooth menu of my target device to receive a file from my Sony. Otherwise the target device wouldn't receive the file and Sony will prompts 'no services found' error. Seems different devices have different mechanisms of receiving files via bluetooth. My Sony does not need to click 'receive a file' (don't even have this option in the menu) to receive a file; instead it will pop up a balloon asking for permission to receive a file whenever there is an incoming request.
