Why sharing over bluetooth is so awful?

Hi guys

ok, i can stand this anymore, i have been experiencing this since my fist steps in windows 7, since windows 7 basic edition, spanish, then english then professional, then 64bit, in this computer, my mom's computer friends computers.... trying to share files with my phone, other phones other BT devices... always the same traumatic and frustrating experience.... i decide to avoid using BT, always find another solution, i sent it by email (with one device within inches from the other... but was easier) even private network direct transfer using wifi, EVEN infrared.... but always trying to avoid BT... but i just can stand it anymore, today i woke up very happy (as usual) this morning and my girlfriend asked me to put some pict i toke this past weekend in her phone... with all the delightful and comfortable temperature and smells of the morning around here... (i really was happy this morning) i decide to use BT, first file worked flawlessly...
but the next file: the same error since my beginning in windows 7
"windows was unable to
transfer some files an invalid argument was supplied...."

i am tired of this... can anyone help me with this?

linux, (all distros) work fine, windows xp too... but not win 7

Two things to try


Start and restart the bluettoth service

• Start menu > search services.msc > select services from the search results
• Services Local
  
  • Scroll down to: Bluetooth Support Service
  • Right click opens the service dialog
    
    • Stop the service
    • Start the service
    
    
  
  

If that worked, great, if not then check the HW mfgr for an updated driver, download and install.

do you guys really think is driver problem after i have tied different hardwares in different machines....?

Instead of using Bluetooth (which can be problematic as you discovered), install DropBox on your phone and PC. You can get a free DropBox account and you can share the pics (and other files) from your phone with others very easily.

I just did a test where I transferred a .5MB picture of my puppy from my phone to my laptop using BT, then tried transferring the same pic from my phone to my DropBox account which was then synced to my laptop. The DropBox transfer was simpler since I only needed to tap 1 button and the transfer took about half as long as the BT transfer.

If interested, send me a PM with your email addy and I can send you an invite to DropBox which will result in both of us receiving an extra 500MB of online storage.

I appreciate your invitation, i really do!
i will consider it.
but by now what i am seeing is that everyday the direct communication between devices are getting harder and more difficult/troubleshooter... the big brothers are working really hard to get us to get used that all communication with other devices must be done through their hands.....

the only down point i have with dropbox... is that...it is internet dependent.
