I've been trying to transfer files between my nexus 10 and my galaxy nexus, but with no luck. This is what did:
(1) turn on bluetooth on both devices, and pair
(2) go to ES file browser, long press the (plan text) file to bring up menu, then select share -> bluetooth --> ok
(3) Got a message on the notification bar saying that the bluetooth was not successful.
I am able to use my bluetooth keyboard with both devices so at least that part works. I searched this forum but I was not able find any posting on this topic; any advice on how to do bluetooth file transfer is most appreciative.

I think its a hit or miss with Bluetooth transfer. First I had the same issue as you, but when I tried later it worked without problem. I know the Bluetooth on the nexus isn't 100%, so might he a problem on that end (haven't tested the n10 Bluetooth extensively).

Thanks. Could you describe exactly what you did to successfully perform a bluetooth file transfer?
(also, an off-topic question: How is CM10.1 working out for your gnex?)
Depends on what u are trying to transfer, tried transferring an apk from my laptop to my N10 but I couldn't, transferring an apk from n10 to s2 worked tho

Now that all the USB connections seem to be fixed, has anyone done a bluetooth connection to their computer? I don't want to carry the proprietary 30-pin cable everywhere so I was hoping I could do a bluetooth connection to my work computer and get files that way. When I pair up the equipment the items linked are for steaming audio. There are two items in my device manager listed as "bluetooth peripheral device" which is missing the driver. Not sure what the right driver would be and if I did get it would it allow native file transferring over bluetooth.
For reference, I'm running Win7 64bit
Checkout Bluetooth File Manger in the market.
The developer has an app for Android tablet, phone, and PC.

I tried that already. It kinda worked. If I place files in a bluetooth sync folder on my computer, then it shows on a list on the tablet. When I select it to download the file it says it is doing so and even acts as if it completed correctly but then I get a 0kb file instead.
I was hoping for a more elegant and working solution like being able to right click on a file and select send to Tab via bluetooth or make it so that it treats the storage the same as being hooked up through USB.
help with bluetooth
This is my first attempt/first post, so be gentle...
I'm running windows 7 64-bit & have a GT 10.1 as well, & I've gotten files to transfer both ways... I found that it didn't work at first because the drivers weren't fully installed on windows--if your case is like mine, you may just need to reboot windows to let the drivers finish installing. After that, I was able to right click & "send to Bluetooth device" like you're trying to do... However, in order to receive files, you have to alert windows that youre about to do just that... there is a pretty good tutorial on transferring files through Bluetooth on 7tutorials.com (I'd post the link, but I'm not allowed).
I found the tutorial and I think It must be an issue with the bluetooth hardware in my laptop. I have the basic bluetooth transceiver from dell. I tried reinstalling the driver but the options for send and receive files is missing.
According to http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore, Nightly 135 would include:
bluetooth network service (android_packages_apps_Settings)
bluetooth networking (PAN) (android_frameworks_base)
Does this mean that we can now send/receive files to/from other bluetooth enabled devices??? (Like mobile phones with bluetooth/PCs with bluetooth etc???)
Can someone clarify this? I know I can find out myself by waiting for the next nightlyand trying it out, but I was just so excited and couldn't resist to post a question...
I use Bluetooth File transfer to move files between my Nook and Evo. No problems pairing and moving files, running RC7.1 but it did work on 7.0.2 also.

Yup, works fine. I sent some pictures to my phone from the Nook earlier using Bluetooth.
I've been doing this as well for a while now between my phone (Motorola Droid) and Nook and even from my PC to nook and back. Although I haven't done the PC part recently since upgrading to Windows 7
I can't seem to transfer any mp4 files from my pc to the thrive through the mini usb cable. It starts to copy and the bar gets full, indicating it's almost done, and then there's an error saying the thrive stopped responding. I can succesfully transfer the file via a usb flash drive, but it's annoying to take the extra step.
I read somewhere else that turning on USB Debugging would solve this, but when I do that the thrive is not recognized by the pc. Anyone have any info on this?
Search for WiFi File Explorer Pro in the market. Works great! Look at the most recent reviews and you will see someone with the same problem that it worked for. Maybe it was you?

Wasn't me but thanks for recommending it. Works great and not much loss of speed, if any.
Is there something wrong with the Bluetooth feature on Jellybean 4.1 or the with the Nexus 7 itself?
I bought a Bluetooth Keyboard for it for about $30. When it's working it works great, but it just randomly drops out when I am in the middle of typing. If I press the button to the right then they will connect to each other again, but then it drops out again in a few minutes. It's pretty much a useless device, because I can't keep constantly pressing the button while I am typing, it slows me down dramatically.
Does anyone know of any specific problems with Bluetooth on the Nexus 7 or with the Jellybean ROM?
I've been looking for a USB/MicroUSB keyboard to replace this one, but they all look so cheap and flimsy, so if you have any suggestions on that end they would be appreciated.
I know everyone hates when someone does this.
But my motorolla Bluetooth keyboard has been working very well no disconnects. I also use a mouse on occasion that has yet to fail me. I would check to see if you have a lot of Bluetooth devices nearby.
I am using stock kernel and ROM not rooted.
I use the keyboard and mouse together with zero issues so far.

Did you try testing that keyboard with other devices to see if the keyboard works properly?
No, but I will try that with my Droid RAZR and let you all know how it worked out.
Bluetooth file shares go smoothly, I've transferred at least a GB through Bluetooth. Bugs me that I have to change .epub and .apk files to .mp4 though.
I do Bluetooth with tablet talk, and Bluetooth connect to phone for network on cm10 rom. No issues, no dropping

I've used my wifes Logitect BT keyboard several times for 10-15 minutes at a time, no problem. I paired a mouse once to see it work, used it about 30 seconds.

Good lord, use some other method then.. Bluetooth is both slower than wifi and... renaming stuff? No way. There are plenty of other methods to transfer files to Android over wifi.
Hey so i have this problem...I switch on my Bluetooth, make it visible, pair it with my laptop, it is successfully paired and i Can see nexus 4 device connected on my laptop....BUT when i try to open the storage from the computer it doesn't do anything...I cant send files!

Use a USB cable or send files over WiFi using "Air droid" app.

That's like saying "take the train" to someone that has car trouble and can't get to work--not very helpful. What if they need to use bluetooth due to lack of USB cable or a wifi-capable computer? I know it's not probable, but the bluetooth capability is there and should be able to be used if desired, even if it's not the fastest data-transfer method.
I too, have the same problem, though just two days ago I was able to send files.
Can't help you much as I got Windows 8 and Ubuntu.
But I had this kind of problems often on Windows 8, I had to unpair (from device and phone) then pair them again, each time I had to switch from Linux to Windows.
Anyway, to send files by Bluetooth from windows, try this:
Right-Click on the file
Then Send to
And choose Bluetooth Device
I never opened the storage card of my nexus from bluetooth on my PC, I think the connection is not very stable.
