Bug Description
I have this bug since a lot (maybe years) and it's annoying.
I can't send a file to elementary using the bluetooth.
Furthemore (this is just a minor issue) I can't change the name of the bluetooth of elementary.

First, to enable Bluetooth file receiving: share-propertie s
- open Terminal and run gnome-file-
- check Receive files in Downloads over Bluetooth and Notify about received files.
Second, there are several ways to change the Bluetooth name, but this is the one I found to be permanent (i.e. not defaulting after reboot): main.conf replacing "%h" with the computer name you want.
- edit /etc/bluetooth/
sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/ main.conf (for example change Name = %h-%d to Name = gruber)
- find the unique hardware ID for your bluetooth hardware, list the content of /var/lib/bluetooth
ls /var/lib/bluetooth
- remove /var/lib/ bluetooth/ xx:xx:xx: xx:xx:xx/ config to make your system forget the old name.
sudo rm /var/lib/ bluetooth/ xx:xx:xx: xx:xx:xx/ config
- restart the bluetooth service
sudo service bluetooth restart
