Hello everyone! I am having trouble connecting my phone to my computer via bluetooth. I use Debian 8.5 gnome and my phone is a motorola G2. I use both gnome default bluetooth tool and blueman but none of them work. Pairing works fine with blueman until I try to connect my phone to my computer or try to send files from my phone. When I try to connect to the phone through blueman it says that "no such file or directory exists" whereas the bluetooth on the phone is activated and was already paired before... On the other hand, I can send files from the computer to the phone via bluetooth. In the "Sharing" settings in gnome settings panel I activated the option sharing via bluetooth and paired devices but it does not work... What should I do? Thank you for your help!

I find the various GUI bluetooth tools in jessie to be quite buggy. When you have established a connection between the phone and your computer, open a terminal and cd to /run/user/$(id -u)/gvfs/. From there you should be able to see the mount point of the device and move or copy files as required. -- Liam
