Bluetooth File Transfer Fails on Nokia Lumia 810

I have an issue where I cannot send or receive files from my Lumia 810 to my Windows 8 Pro PC. In addition, the connection always disconnects after 10 seconds or so. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Re: Bluetooth File Transfer Fails on Nokia Lumia 810

hi mate,

sorry to hear the problems you are experiencing with Bluetooth and the headphone volume in-call. my suggestion is to perform a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates). also check that you have all the latest Nokia system apps installed from the Store. if this doesn't work, then check if you have apps such as Skype installed as this can cause conflict with the OS, and i would recommend uninstalling it and trying again.

if those don't work, then you need to perform a hard reset (Settings > About > Reset your phone). please bear in mind that this wipes all personal data, so please backupe everything to PC and / or online storage first. failing that, you will need to take your phone back to your point of purchase i.e. T-Mobile, and if they are being less than helpful, to your local Nokia Care: http://nokia.com/support

Re: Bluetooth File Transfer Fails on Nokia Lumia 810

I have the same problem with my Lumia 810 and I guess there are lot of users with similar problems related to Bluetooth connectivity with other Lumia models as well.

 

To confirm that the problems are being caused by Bluetooth, I did a reset (factory restore) and set up my account again. After this, I kept Bluetooth turned on for an hour or so and had to restart the phone twice because it would hang while connected to a Bluetooth handsfree. Then I turned the Bluetooth off and have been using the phone for the past two days or so without any issues.

 

Other Lumia models were updated to fix the bluetooth related issues so why doesn't Nokia provide an update for Lumia 810?

My phone started transferring files via bluetooth. It now works. I am not sure how it was fixed (I didn't do anything).

Re: Bluetooth File Transfer Fails on Nokia Lumia 810

Hey I had the same problem with my sound volume to my music. I tried the suggestions by adrianhughes to hold the -ve side of the volume button together with the power button until I get a vibration. That didn't work so I tried the second suggestion of uninstalling Skype. That worked! Thank you guys....good job
