My laptop bluetooth was working just fine prior Ubuntu 11.10. Now it can't browse and receive files from my Motorola Q9h phone.

Although I don't use bluetooth that often, it's super annoying.

Here's a fix, it should be a temporary fix, because nobody wants to mess with command line just to connect to their bluetooth devices.

• first install obexfs (the easiest way is via Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic) or via terminal and run this command sudo apt-get install obexfs 
• then make a new folder in your home directory, e,g bluemount
• open terminal :
• to mount : obexfs -b your:bluetooth:address ~/bluemount
• to unmount : fusermount --u ~/bluemount 
• now your bluetooth device is browseable with nautilus
• unfortunately you have to type in terminal every time you want to mount your bluetooth devices, that's why it can't be a permanent fix.

Your bluetooth address is something like : aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff . I know mine from System Settings > Bluetooth. 

fix source.
