Ubuntu 13.04, affects me too. Running on an ASUS EeePC 1005PE. Tried to transfer files between the PC and a smartphone running Android 4.1.

Tried installing blueman on the PC and using it instead of the default bluetooth applet, didn't help. Sometimes blueman could transfer small (30kB) files from the PC to the phone correctly, but large files (3MB) would randomly hang the transfer. When sending any file from the phone to the PC, the transfer would hang at the "connecting" stage.

However, while blueman is installed and running, it seems that the default bluetooth applet (but not blueman) can transfer files correctly. Such behaviour has also been reported by others.

So, as a temporary workaround, I followed the instructions here:

to have just one bluetooth icon even though both the default bluetooth applet and blueman are running at the same time. Now the transfer seems to work in both directions.

Would appreciate if this was fixed properly :)
