Hey all -
I have read and experienced that Windows Media Player will not sync over bluetooth, and that's pretty frustrating. I would love to download podcasts/music on my computer and wirelessly sync them to my phone using bluetooth overnight. Has anyone figured out how to make this happen?
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I've searched for the solution to this problem with no luck so I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I'm using Onyx's ROM, ver 4, and ActiveSync (4.5) works fine if no media player is running. But as soon as I start WMP or MediaMonkey, or any player with syncing ability, ActiveSync would disconnect. It would show the spinning green icon and say connecting in the dialogue, but never reconnects.
The same is true if I have WMP or MediaMonkey already running and plug the phone in. ActiveSync would not connect at all. My media players are able to sync my iPod w/o issue, and if I put the phone in "disk drive" mode, I can sync to it as well.
So bottom line is, w/o any media player running, ActiveSync works; with media player running, ActiveSync doesn't work. Any ideas guys?
Thanks
I noticed that when I have WINAMP running on my PC the bluetooth connection to active sync does not work due to port problems.
When I shut Winamp down it works.
Does anyone know how to configure AS ports and which ports are beeing used anyway?
oh I think it is actually OUTLOOK 2003 itself.
I tried the usb sync with my mac pro. It recognized the device and appeared to by syncing and said finished, but I can't find any media data on the TF after syncing.
Has anyone had any luck streaming music from their phones to their computer's speakers via bluetooth?
My internet connection at work sucks so I can't stream music from Google Music. I don't want to listen straight from my phone because then I might miss IMs or meeting reminders. Ideally, I'd like to stream the music I have pinned on my phone through my computers audio to get the best of both worlds.
So I successfully paired my phone (4.3) to my computer (win8) via bluetooth, but I can't seem to do anything with streaming audio. I can transfer a file no problem. If I go into devices > nexus 4 > properties > services, it just shows two "unknown services" which I've tried updating the drivers on to no avail.

Not sure about bluetooth. But there is an awesome app called 'AirDroid', it allows you to use your phone on your computer by accessing it locally on the wifi. You can create an ad-hoc and do the same.

After much toil, I figured out how to get it working. For my laptop, I had to download the ThinkPad Bluetooth package:

From what I gathered, the default bluetooth drivers provided by Microsoft do not support a2dp. If you don't have a ThinkPad, look for drivers from the manufacturer.
Hi, I just released an app that lets you stream the music from your phone and play it in any browser over wifi as long as both devices are connected to the same wifi network. It's called Weezzler.
You can get it here.
so my g2 is pretty much refusing to share data via wireless storage or media servers, it fails at airplay, and the thing won't even show up as a drive when I'm using media sync with a usb connection to my ps3 or mac.
anyone know how I can fix this?
