Is there some log file I can provide you?

I would be surprised if the wifi hotspot didn't work as I have used that more times daily until I got the XA2.

About the bluetooth file sharing, I am not sure whether that ever worked on unsupported devices. I only use the bt with a headset and an external speaker and very rarely with a keyboard, so I have never tested the file sharing.
You can use the wifi hotspot for file sharing. I know this is a bit inconvenient to use but better than nothing:

switch on the hotspot on device 1 and connect to it from device 2
on device 2 do a 'ifconfig' to see the IP address (example 172.28.172.2)
then use the scp to put the file (example /home/nemo/test.txt) from device 1 to device 2 [code]scp /home/nemo/test.txt nemo@172.28.172.2:/home/nemo/
Code:
```
scp /home/nemo/text.txt nemo@172.28.172.2:/home/nemo/
```
or if you would like to copy something from device 2 to device 1:
Code:
```
scp nemo@172.28.172.2:/home/nemo/test.txt /home/nemo/
```
or alternatively you can use sftp or rsync. More info here.

I just have tried and it worked.
