described a common symptom: PC-to-phone transfers work but the handset cannot push files back to the computer. covered how to send from the PC and suggested checking compatibility; that is correct, but the thread missed the usual root causes for phone-initiated transfers. The key point is that sending from the phone is an independent, incoming operation that the computer must accept and support.

Most phones use the Bluetooth OBEX/OPP file profiles to push files. For an incoming push to succeed the PC must be offering an OBEX server (or be put into a “receive” state) and the Bluetooth stack on the PC must expose the file‑transfer service. On Windows this is usually done from the Bluetooth tray icon or vendor control panel by choosing the option to receive a file or by enabling the OBEX/File Transfer service. If the PC never listens for an incoming transfer the phone’s send will time out even though the phone “sees” the adapter.

If PC-to-phone already works then the dongle drivers are probably installed, but two problems still commonly block phone->PC transfers: the Bluetooth stack does not offer OBEX receive, or a firewall/antivirus is blocking the incoming connection. Steps that resolve the issue include reinstalling the dongle vendor drivers (remove duplicate Bluetooth stacks first), ensuring the Bluetooth support/service is running, re-pairing and marking the PC as trusted/authorized for the phone, and temporarily disabling firewall/antivirus for a test. Some vendor stacks require an explicit “Receive a file” action before a phone push will connect.

When those checks fail, alternative workflows avoid Bluetooth push: use Sony Ericsson PC Suite over Bluetooth or USB, copy via the memory card reader, or test with a different phone or adapter to isolate whether the problem is the handset or the Mikomi dongle.

Are they designed to work together. Have you checked the websites of both manufacturers to look at the online instructions?

when you see your phone located by your bluetooth double click on it and it should come up with everything in your phone. Simply come out of your phone click the item you want to send right click scroll down to send to. Look for Bluetooth devices go there. if your phone is already paired to the computer then you should have no further problems
