Filetransfer by bluetooth with failure

I’m using filetransfers via bluetooth for small data or when there’s no cable in reach. Normally between my XPS13 and my smartphone.
After a period of time i used the funktion again today - but resolving the following failure:

My system is uptodate, in the update-history i found those two recent changes:

[2024-02-22T10:19:46+0100] [ALPM] upgraded blueman (2.3.5-2 → 2.3.5-3)

[2024-02-22T10:20:22+0100] [ALPM] upgraded pulseaudio-bluetooth (16.1-7 → 17.0-3)

Further i found some older entrys in “journalctl”:

The system on my smartphone is Android 11.
File exchange works for the last three years since i’m using manjaro on my notebook.

All other bluetooth connections work, such as audiostreaming, also my headphones, etc.
Are there any known issues with bluetooth with the last updates?

Btw. i use the older Kernel 5.15 cause on the old XPS it works more smoothly.

Did you try and re-pair the devices?

Yes, i did. No changes the filetransfer does not start and shows upnamed failure.

I think it has a similar reasons to that:

or maybe;

This is an old Installation of Manjaro, maybe like in the first link to delete blueman and bluez and reinstall it could solve the problem. I will try and report.

After reinstallation of blueman and bluez the problem still exits. Any suggestions?
Terminal shows:

$ blueman-sendto
blueman-sendto 22.36.44 ERROR    Client:26 on_session_failed: 9C:6B:72:7A:F9:DA 9C:B6:D0:E3:47:28 opp  The name is not activatable

Solved the problem by installing “bluez-obex”. Don´t know why it got deinstalled, or not installed the new version with the update of bluez 5.72-2.
