Unable to transfer larger files via bluetooth.

[bobb1]

Is there a limit to five sizes that can be transferred via bluetooth?

I want to send a 1.15gb file over bluetooth from my computer to my phone - smaller files go back and forward no problem but this one just says I don't have permission to do so. The file permissions etc are fine.

I've tried a few apps and they're all rubbish.

Do you have enough free storage ? (Internal storage not SD card) 

[bobb1]

Yes, on both the internal and sd storage.

That's a bit odd why if you try an app to do so

There is no limit on the file size however if you are using a Windows Pc or Laptop like for example Windows 7 then on some occasions the Bluetooth software may have a file size limit built in which is normally between 40 and 100MB - You may be able to access and amend the setting on file size limit to unlimited or it could be a case of interference from an external source and sometimes it's because of an outdated driver where the driver has a built in file size limit and the new versions don't

I've tried that one and this one to no avail, they don't appear to be able to read off my computer.

Ok this is odd, the file is on there. They don't show up in my VLC library and my laptop says the file can't be sent, but it has turned up once I checked with my file manager. Not really sure how that worked but my technology appears to be trying to add some mystery to my life.

Oh, and thanks for your replies.
