Solved: Some formats not receivable with bluetooth

[Eldkatten]

Hello,

using bluetooth for sending and receiving data to and from the Gemini has worked quite well for me.
But now I tried sending an ebook (format epub) to the Gemini, which failed about threethousand times   (<- slight exaggeration) I finally noticed that the sending device held messages apparently sent from the Gemini as answer to the send-request, saying "The content is not supported". What content? Does the Gemini not accept epub files via bluetooth?

After a series of loud curses towards Google and Android (this is really no OS for serious work, just for kids and gamers, dammit, but alas, one is stuck with it) I tried some research on the topic and only found issues about older Sony devices refusing mp3 via bluetooth, and some other devices refusing apk, but there was no explanation about why and how to switch that off.
Of course there was no information to be found about whether the Gemini refuses epub files and why. Probably again some "security" crap. Let me use my devices, dammit, I can think for myself and a am adult enough to take responsibility for my actions.

Ok, enough of the rant. Does anybody have any similar experience with file transfer via bluetooth and how to fix it?

Kind regards

Hi, have you tried renaming the file to a filetype you know is supported.

Epubs are just zip files full of HTML pages so there's no intrinsic reason for them not to be copied.

Ditto that advice.

Works.

What the h...umbug?! I mean, software development is really going downhill. What reason should there be to reject epubs?

Does anyone know where these restrictions are saved? And maybe how to edit/delete them?

I didn't try mp3 or videos or any other "digital right"-wise dangerous stuff, but now I wouldn't be surprised if I needed a personal permission from MR. ANDROID himself to transfer my own stuff between my own devices.

Thanks for the tip, anyway.
Kind regards
