Description: After upgrading bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils from version 5.41-2 to version 5.42-1 (Arch Linux) I am no longer able to send files from my Android devices (cell phone and tablet) to my notebook (Dell XPS 13, model 9343, with Intel wifi+bluetooth card). (The Android devices are marked as "Trusted".) I am able to send files from the computer to the Android devices, but not the other way around. Additional info: * package version(s) bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils to version 5.42-1 * config and/or log files etc. Logs available at http://pastebin.com/Zh6y2VZU See also https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1659470 and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51284 Note: I noticed that my last successful file transfer from my Android devices to my notebook (which runs Arch Linux) was on September 26, 2016. I then noticed that on that day Bluez was updated: [2016-09-26 13:11] [ALPM] upgraded bluez-utils (5.41-2 -> 5.42-1) [2016-09-26 13:11] [ALPM] upgraded bluez-libs (5.41-2 -> 5.42-1) [2016-09-26 13:11] [ALPM] upgraded bluez (5.41-2 -> 5.42-1) I then downgraded bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils to version 5.41-2 and I can now send files from my cell phone and tablet to my notebook again. Hence, I believe there is a problem with version 5.42.1 of bluez. With that installed bluetooth is functional except for one thing: the computer does not receive files over bluetooth. I believe the problem was introduced by the following commit: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=dcbc28940118a14ce175153e5f006551600e9244 Steps to reproduce: Using version 5.42-1 of bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils pair an Android device to the computer and try to send a file from the Android device to the computer (not the other way around).
Also in Gentoo we are suffering the same issue
should be fixed in master https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=ccd29841c3799c68ed90eb050661ffeccea78c9b
