Comment 101 for bug 268502

@Jamie Lokier

I have just taken the time to compile 2.6.28.6 with your 114kb patch and rebooted successfully.

I am now able to successfully pair with the mobile device (which i couldn't do previously) but I am unable to send a file from my phone to the laptop, after opening the gnome bluetooth file sharing application (which used to work)

I am unable to SEND files from the laptop to the mobile device (times out)

Browsing files on the mobile device from the bluetooth icon in the systray causes my phone to reboot....but this is likely my phone's problem and I recall it used to do that too. However, it did actually get as far as to connect, which is will not previously do on the buggy BT kernels.

I also tried multisync which also did not work and eventually timed out scanning for bluetooth devices to sync to.

Can you confirm that you can / cannot send a file from your mobile device to the laptop?

Jamie, please let me know your thoughts / test results.

For you guys who aren't able to get this test working here is the complete set of working commands I issued:

  514 tar -xjvpf linux-source-2.6.28.tar.bz2
  515 cd linux-source-2.6.28
  516 cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
  517 patch -p1 < /home/rick/Desktop/put_old_working_bluetooth_into_2.6.28_7.diff
  518 make bzImage
  519 make modules
  520 make install modules_install
  527 update-initramfs -k 2.6.28.6 -c
  528 update-grub

@Ari no you don't need to copy the files with this patch. Jamie explains this to you in the message above!
