Can't receive files via bluetooth or Beam after Nougat update

Hey, I can't receive files via bluetooth or Beam from another xperia phone anymore after Nougat update. The sending files works without problems. Any ideas?

Is there anybody who can receive any kind of information (pics, files, contacts) via bluetooth from other devices to Xperia X updated to Nougat?

Certain files won't send via Bluetooth if it's an unrecognized file format, such as .apk. But I can't test for your device as I don't own a X

I'm trying to send just pictures, contacts etc known file types which working well when sending from the Xperia X to Z5. I'm trying to find out is there any app which logs the sending situation from both phones. The sending phone get the connection fails notification immediately after start sending. And receiving Xperia X doesn't give any feedback. Just like the sender can't see the receiver or something.

 Same here. Actually it seems Bluetooth Obex file receive is not working on many if not all Sony latest phones. I have Xperia Z2, Z3+, Z5 and XA and Bluetooth receive only works on Z2. Shame Sony! Such a basic feature that works even on cheap phones of other manufacturers. Why don't you try sending a picture file from say Z5 to another Z5. You will just get File not sent. This is because there is no OBEX receive service running. The Sony phone is just deaf to Bluetooth connection requests. Hope Sony will finally fix it for Nougat OS.
