How to activate bluetooth file sharing ?
Activation : For secure Simple Pairing > toggle Enable to ON. And for activation the default method of how to activate AirBlue Sharing is by double tap status bar.
Recommended : If you also install the excellent iFile from Cydia, you will be able to access these files there and even send them to other, third-party apps – or, with incoming notes, even read them with the built-in text viewer.
I recommend for example short Home press:Settings > AirBlue Sharing > Activation Methods > Short Hold and, then, it will be able to listen to incoming OBEX files.
