I checked again: obexfs does not work on my laptop with Natty.

But I have news: I removed the built-in Bluetooth adapter from my Compaq nx8220 (it's sticker says "Broadcom BCM92035NMD", in short a "BCM2035"). Then I plugged in an USB Bluetooth dongle from Cambridge Silicon Radio and guess what? Filetransfer, headset service and everything works in Natty!!

This means the Broadcom driver could cause this bug. So I attached the original Bluetooth adapter, and replaced all *.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.38-13-generic/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/ by those from Maverick - except btusb.ko, because of symbol conflicts. But this shows the same results as with an unmodified Natty. If the the driver is at fault, then it's btusb.ko.

Marc wrote in comment #5 that Kernel 3.1.0 with Karmic does works, but with Oneiric it does not. Next I will try Natty with other Kernels like 2.6.35 (probably next year...)
