Help What's the deal with bluetooth?

It doesn't connect to anything, not even my EVO, bt capable Panasonic phone, etc. I've done a little searching and the goodandevo forum confirmed that nothing other than a2dp works. No file transfers, nothing. I've installed a voip client on my tablet so I can do phone calls, but it would be nice to be able to use a bt headset instead of speakerphone. Anyone have any ideas if this will be updated in future maintenance releases?
 
Your source is wrong about file transfers; I routinely transfer files between my Droid BIONIC and my View. I have also used a Bluetooth keyboard with my View. The only problem I have there is that the View rotates the arrow keys when I put it in landscape mode, so I have to use it in portrait mode when writing.

To make the transfer work, you need an app that supports Bluetooth FTP. I use ES File Explorer for that.

I can not get the Flyer or View to connect to my Razr.
