Hello,

I have fedora core 9 running on my laptop (which has a built in bluetooth
adapter) and a Sony Ericsson K810i Mobile phone. Both the devices recognise
each other and could be bonded via bluetooth.  I could transfer a file from
my laptop to the mobile phone.  But when I try to transfer a file from the
mobile phone to the laptop, the transfer does not happen.  The reason being
that mobile phone is not able to discover the services of the laptop.  When
googled, I came to know that the following commands lets us know the status
of bluetooth running on our system:
1) rpm -qa "*bluez*" "*obex*"
2) sdptool browse local
3) gconftool-2 --recursive-list /desktop/gnome/file_sharing

This is the output for these commands on my machine:

[root at localhost Divya]# rpm -qa "*bluez*" "*obex*"

 require_password = never
 bluetooth_obexpush_enabled = false
 bluetooth_enabled = false
 bluetooth_accept_files = bonded
 bluetooth_notify = false

 bluetooth_allow_write = false
 bluetooth_require_pairing = true

I realized that some of the fields marked as false above are supposed to be
true.  But I could not figure out why they are not enabled.  Please help me
out regarding this.

Thanks in advance.
