I tried copying some files from my phone to my PC.
I paired the two devices. They remained paired (but not connected though). I then tried to send some files from TC (phone) to the PC via bluetooth. I was asked by Android if i want to permit TC to find nearby devices (or something similar) and i responded Yes. The process started but i received the following message:
Connection failed! UID xxx / PID yyy lacks permission android.permission.BLUETOOTH.
What exactly is the item that lacks this permission? TC or something else?
EDIT: TC has the "change bluetooth connectivity" permission.

Re: Lacking Bluetooth permission
Which Android version do you use? On Android 12 I'm getting the same request, but the file is then sent just fine.

Re: Lacking Bluetooth permission
I'm using Android 12.
EDIT: In my case though, the file is not sent.

Re: Lacking Bluetooth permission
It seems to be a faulty Bluetooth implementation on some Xiaomi and Oppo devices:

I will try using the workaround described there.
