Message when I try to transfer from Fedora 36 Silverblue to my POCO X3 Pro phone

Description of problem:
Hi, with the latest updates I lost the ability to transfer files through Bluetooth between Fedora 36 Silverblue and my POCO X3 PRO phone in both directions, when I try to transfer from PC to the phone and from the phone to the PC.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I use GNOME Bluetooth 42, but I'm not sure if it's the real root of the problem because that component wasn't updated the latest days. I suspect of NetworkManager, ModemManager and the kernel.


How reproducible: Just pair your Android phone (or a least a Xiaomi phone) with Fedora 36 Silverblue and try to transfer a file from one system to the other.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pair your Android phone with Fedora 36 Silverblue using GNOME Bluetooth.
2. After pairing correctly, try to transfer a file.
3. You can see that you can't transfer any file.

Actual results:
Now I can't transfer files through Bluetooth, but I could do it in previous days. I tried to TP-LINK UB500 USB Bluetooth, the Intel Bluetooth of my Acer laptop and another USB Bluetooth from Realtek and all of them fails when I try to transfer files, so I think the problem is from the system.

My 8BitDo Pro 2 controller seems to work properly through Bluetooth.
 
Expected results:
Obviously, I hope to transfer files through Bluetooth with Fedora 36 Silverblue.

I'm waiting for instructions if you need my help.

Installing bluez-obexd package solved the issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/uw2kyl/comment/intyczv/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Sorry if I sound harsh, but I would like to see some warning about this kind of things in the future. A little post on Fedora Magazine would be enough for me.

This can be closed.

I'm really not sure why we would spend the time to write an article to document a bug that we could just fix, and now have fixed.

You might also want to set your expectations to a level commensurate to the price you paid for the technical support being provided, it will certainly help not sounding harsh :)
