It is actually quite simple to use Bluetooth to transfer phone data. All you need to do is:
1. Turn on Bluetooth
Turn on Bluetooth technology in both phones by going to "Menu," and selecting "Settings and Tools." Select "Bluetooth Menu" and "Turn On". You can also directly pull down the menu in the phone desktop and switch on the Bluetooth option.
2. Set and Pair Bluetooth Devices
In the Bluetooth interface, activate "Discover Mode" on both phones to make your phone "visible" to other cell phones. Select "Options," "Discovery Mode" and "Visible." This will enable your phone to connect wirelessly to another cell phone for data transfer. Once detected, choose the target device. Then, a request interface asking to enter the key will show up on both devices. Type in the correct key and start pairing.

After the two Android smartphones are successfully paired and connected, you can go to the photos, music, videos, APK files, etc. on the source phone, select those you want to transfer, hit the Menu button and choose "Share" button.
