That works for me in F24 MATE-Compiz so yes it seems to be. I couldn't transfer anything over obex until doing this: cd /usr/lib/systemd/user/ ln -s obex.service dbus-org.bluez.obex.service
Well half way there with obex, I can send files to my phone but not receive them. any help would be appreciated, I've added it as a trusted device and have the blueman transfer set to receive from trusted devices.

I couldn't > transfer anything over obex until doing this: > > cd /usr/lib/systemd/user/ > ln -s obex.service dbus-org.bluez.obex.service I can confirm that this works around the problem for me. Fresh F24 install, and I hit the `Unit dbus-org.bluez.obex.service not found.` error when trying to do a Bluetooth file transfer.
Up-to-date Fedora 24 KDE: I've had similar problems. My Mobile couldn't send files to my laptop, laptop could pair with the mobile though. Installing obex and cd /usr/lib/systemd/user/ ln -s obex.service dbus-org.bluez.obex.service solved the problem, now I can exchange files with mobile devices. This is probably neither Gnome nor KDE fault then.
same problem, solution above worked. thanks
FYI a more user friendly way to achieve this is: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/94337/bluetooth-isnt-working/?answer=94342#post-id-94342 pasting answer here: sudo dnf install bluez-obexd systemctl --user start obex sudo systemctl --global enable obex
sudo dnf install bluez-obexd systemctl --user start obex sudo systemctl --global enable obex Works allright! (Up-to-date F24 KDE)
Any plans to fix this so it works out of the box? Seems not user-friendly
