Bug Description

Fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 on an Acer laptop.
All file transfers via bluetooth from a (Android) mobile device get systematically rejected.

This is somehow different (as far as observed symptoms are concerned) from #958661

On another computer, where I also had Ubuntu 13.04 (upgraded from earlier releases), transfers from bluetooth device would usually work; then at random times (probably after suspending and resuming) they would start being systematically rejected; turning bluetooth physically off and on again via the hardware switch would fix the issue. That's issue 958661.

Now, on this other computer, all file transfers are always systematically rejected. I've never, ever been able to send a file via bluetooth to this computer. I'm sending them from the same device that would (usually) succeed to send them to the old computer.

I can, however, browse files from the computer on the same device. So, bluetooth does kind of work in general, it's not like I don't have bluetooth. But incoming file transfers get systematically rejected and I can't find any setting anywhere that says that file transfers are to be rejected or accepted.
