Hi there,
I always synced my phone bluetooth with my laptop (Windows 7 x64)
My laptop is bluetooth visible and devices are allowed to connect.
my phone sees my laptop, and me laptop sees my phone
when i bluetooth connect them it seems to go ok, but in the Windows device manager from my laptop it says cannot find drivers.
Strange because i downloaded the latest windows mobile center
I have an unknown bluetooth periphal device in the device manager
USB connection does work properly and the sync! i also can reach my 8Gb SD in my computer
Cheers!
I removed the initial question about the bluetooth connection with my carkit.
The initial question is a problem of my car, don't ask why but i tested bluetooth integrated carkit with a other phone and it also does not work properly so something in the wiring of my car is stuck and is not for this forum. First it DID work with the other phone
I cannot find how to change the thread type to "Bluetooth connection with WIndows 7"
nobody has problems with windows 7 drivers?

I've managed through pain and misery to get Activesync to work through bluetooth (not easy with widcomm stacks as drivers).
When my PC boots up, Activesync (PC) will complain that the bluetooth COM port isn't connected (obviously because my phone isn't connected through bluetooth 24/7)
So everytime I reboot my PC, I have to re-check the COM port connection in the connection options (PC) to make Activesync listen to my bluetooth COM.
Any suggestions?
Also, I know that when my phone is connected via USB, my phone will gain access to the internet (My PC has the internet connection and shares it to the phone). With bluetooth I havent been able to get this to work. Yet both USB & bluetooth work through Activesync. Is there something Im missing?
Thnx! I hope this isn't too specific/complicated like question
I used to have some of the same problems. What I found that usually it was 2 things causing it.
1. Activesync - Installation or Configuration
2. BT Software - Installation, Configuration or Need BT Software upgrade
What fixed my issue was 2 fold: activesync settings & needed to upgrade my dongle's software.
Activesync: When I installed 4.5 it setup a network connection that kept running in. And when I started up my PC I could see the icon running in my sys-tray (and would have troubles on and off again either with bluetooth / USB sync. What I found that worked for activesync was uninstall and make sure you check off allow wireless activesync connection. I've also found it likes to use com 3 for BT activesync.
BT Dongle: I have Motorola PC850 dongle and found that there was a great new BT Stack update that would hold the settings even if I turned my PC off for weeks at a time or removed the dongle to somewhere else. Plus it fixed the issue I had with using my BT stereo headset, to listen to music with out pops and skips. Oh In your BT settings make sure that com 3 or what ever your using is the same as activesync
Hope I can test those few tweaks.
However, after connecting my phone to activesync by USB, now my phone won't even connect by bluetooth to my PC anymore.

yes you can i did with WM and vista for internet sharing via bluetooth PAN, so it should work with WIN7. i dont remember how to do it (using strictly linux)
Have my shiny new HTC HD2 in my hand as of yesterday - stunning device so far but I am unsure what I should expect from the bluetooth link behavior with ActiveSync/Mobile Device Manager.
I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64bit on a laptop with BT built in on latest drivers etc.
My old Nokia handset would connect with the laptop quickly when in range - I then had to choose to sync the calendar, notes etc from the Nokia sync software.
The HD2 will let me connect to ActiveSync without problem, but each time I have to do this manually. If I walk out of range or shutdown the laptop etc, the bluetooth link is not re-established until I choose ActiveSync on the HD2 and choose connect to laptop.
Is this expected behavior? I had hoped the HD2 would connect automatically to the laptop when in range?
It seems to link fine with my in car bluetooth, though if the HD2 is locked when the car bluetooth turns on (e.g. when starting the car), I need to unlock the HD2 before it will automatically connect?
Can't find any settings that appear directly relevant - where I can it is all set to allow connections, start automatically etc.
Advice welcome!
Hey guys, have anyone here tried to pair (by bluetooth) a Windows Phone to a computer with W8 Release Preview installed?
Today I paired my Lumia 710 with the Win8 RP, and it recognized the phone not only as an ordinary WinPhone, but as a bluetooth headset too, or other kind of bluetooth audio device, unlike Win7 does. The phone also shows that a device (in this case, the pc w/ Win8) is connected, but nothing else.
It's a weird thing. Is it supposed to stream audio from pc to phone, or other unknow feature?
Thanks.
similar problem here. Trying to send files from my HTC HD2 WP7 to my Samsung series 7. Windows 8 sees the phone and asks for pass code, then says its "mated", but when i try to copy pictures between them, nothing.
Same problem with the bluetooth GPS reciever i have for Garmin Mobile PC. Garmin and Windows 8 can see the BT-GPS device, but Garmin can never get a saterlite fix. Always gets stuck saying "Searching for Saterlites"
Any ideas or just wait until real Windows 8 is out?
As I know, bluetooth in Windows Phone 7 is just for headsets. Probably you can pair with PC but you can use only as a headset (I don't try)
But Windows Phone 8 will drop this restriction :good:

It's possible, mine worked fine (using kies drivers probably). The only thing i noticed is a yellow mark (!). You can get rid of that to disable sms in the bluetooth settings.

Broadcom
Hi,
I had troubles installing my S4 on windows 7 using windows drivers.
I uninstalled all Bluetooth software then cleared device driver build-up with USB Deview.
I then installed Broadcom Device Drivers, and re-paired my phone with only one S4 BT device not installed.
These are all the S4 BT devices I got installed okay:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio
Bluetooth L2CAP Interface
Bluetooth Remote Control
GATT Protocol
GAP Protocol
Bluetooth Headset AG
Bluetooth Hands-free AG
Bluetooth AV Remote-Control Target
Bluetooth AV Source
Bluetooth Network Access
Bluetooth Personal Area Network User (PANU)
Bluetooth OPP
Bluetooth Message Access
I hope this helps
you need to look for BT drivers for your BT, there are no such BT drivers for specific devices. Look on your manufacturer's website and look for BT drivers for your computer model
S4 BT FTP Working
Hi again,
I've found that I can get the last uninstalled BT service mentioned above installed by using Bluetooth File Transfer -- namely the FTP service.
With BT turned off, using the BFT Widget: I activated "Bluetooth File Receiving Service (OPP) Port 12" and then the "Bluetooth File Sharing Service (FTP) Port 30", and then I turned BT on and re-paired with Windows. All BT services found on my S4 were installed.
My S4 appeared in Windows Explorer as a system folder under My Computer--with full upload/download capabilities--just as if I had connected via USB cable, though only the internal memory was available, not the SD card.
I hope this helps more so
