How to Send and Receive Files in iPhone, iPod and iPad through Bluetooth
Apple iPhone is my Favorite phone I ever used. Most of the times when i am with my friends, they used to show me interesting stuffs in their phones like Pictures, Videos or Music. When they interested to send that file to my iPhone, i really disappointed to say “I DON’T HAVE THAT FEATURE”. Not only me all iPhone owners are really disappointed due to the restriction by sending and receiving files such as Photos, Videos, Music, Etc through Bluetooth. Apple Restricted this due to the security reasons. But Today we have a solution to bypass this issue. You can able to send to all Mobile Models, Mac and PC. All you need Jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch before proceeding to this step.
Note: This is only for Jailbroken iDevices.
All you need to install a simple App from Cydia named “AIRBLUE SHARING” which allows you to send and receive file from any Mobile models, MAC and PC through Bluetooth. If you want to send and receive file between iDevices, it will use WIFI transfer to make it faster. It works perfectly.
First you have to Go to Cydia and Search for “AIRBLUE SHARING”
This Tweak package cost $4.99 in Cydia. Purchase it, Worth for Money.
How to Activate the AirBlue Sharing?
Before Start Receiving, First Activate the Application. Just Go to photos or Music and Send any files. It will ask you to Activate. Click ACTIVATE and it is Done.
How it Works?
After Installing the Tweak, Reboot the Device and its now ready to Receive and Send Files. If you want to Receive Files, Just Double tap on status bar. AirBlue Sharing will listen for incoming file transfers in 120 seconds.Even You can change the configuration in Settings of AIRBLUE SHARING and You can see Bluetooth option in Photos, Music and Videos in your iPhone. So you can just Choose Bluetooth and Start Sharing with your friends.
In iOS 5 and Above all your files will be saved in VAR/MOBILE/AirReceived (can be accessed though iFile). If you are using below iOS 5 it will be saved in respective places like Musics and Videos in iPOD, Images in Photos and Vcard in Contacts.
If you want to check the Process of Trasferring, just Double tap on the Status Bar (Can be Configured under settings) to know the Process.

Is there any tweak available to receive music directly in iPod in iOS 5.1.1
I have airblue installed however i can send files from iphone 4s to window pc ok but cannot send files from pc to iphone. keeps saying no service found on iphone
for me, i can send files pc to my iphone , but i cant send file phone to pc.
for your problem , i think u need to launch your air blue sharing before u send file pc to idevice.
Hi I can send the file but cannot receive the same, the other mobile showing sending failed. Also reinstalled airblue stack. kindly assist me.
it is b’coz of ur device is in version 5.1.1 or less. right? you need to downgrade your airblue stack. i also had the same problem like u. But, now is OK.
Just downloaded AirBlue for my Iphone5, will not work, cannot pick anything up nor send anything, waste of money NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!!!
