@timb551: You mean you say you have searched, but in reality you didnt . . . . .(couldt resist on this :wink: )

I would sugest to tap&hold on the file to be sent in File Explorer.
Then choose 'beam', wait for the devices near you to become available and 'tap to send'.

Dont think bonding is neccesary.

The problem whit beaming is that it uses IR and you must align the devices. I have tested widcomm BT driver and then it works, but then my headset stopt working.

Get Resco File Explorer
select a file "hold it down" untill you get a menu choose send to and then bluetooth recipiant.

I have tested widcomm BT driver and then it works, but then my headset stopt working.

Apparently you can use only one bluetooth function at a time (eg you can not use a blutooth carkit and a bluetooth gps at the same time) so I guess it might disconnect you headset to send the file.

using resco file explorer is easier than the file explorer native to the phone...
