I just got an LG Vu a few days ago, and I'm having a problem figuring out the Bluetooth file transfer. I want to transfer an mp3 file from my computer (a Mac) to my phone. I successfully paired them using Bluetooth. Both devices are visible.

Here is my problem:
On the phone, I click on Bluetooth > Paired Devices and my computer is listed in there. I am unable to click on my computer. I know I am physically capable of clicking on it (it vibrates when I touch it), but nothing happens when I do so. If I click "Options," I can only add a new device, rename it, or delete it. There is no clear way to navigate to files on my computer!

I have already gone into my computer's Bluetooth settings and chosen which folder I'd like to be visible to other devices. But I can't figure out how to browse that folder from my phone. I don't understand what the problem is.

I used to have a Samsung Sync and I could do this, no problem. As soon as they were paired, I could click on my computer (from my phone) and browse the folder.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you!

Hi Christy89,

Are you using an SD card? and have you set your phone to be used as a mass storage device?

I do have a micro SD card, but I just wanted to put the file onto my phone. It's a ringtone I made (and I'd like to make more). Do I need to set it up to be used as a mass storage device just to have a few files transferred? If so, how would I do that?

From this my question would now be how would I send a file from my PC to my phone or even better get software so my BlueTooth will be able to send a file to my phone.
As of yet i am able to send a file into the air and have my paired vu cu920 not able to confirm the send request. any help would be appreciated.
