Hi,
Having my HD since a week, I am doing synchronisation with windows mobile on vista x64.
Everything is fine using the usb data cable but not using bluetooth.
The HD is recognized as I can see HTC50 but as soon vista starts, I am requested to provide a driver that I have found nowhere.
If I go in the vista device control panel, there is a bluetooth device not working properly as no driver available.
Contacted the HTC hotline, they told me they will call me back within 48 hours.
It was 5 days ago...
Anyone having the same problem or a solution?
Friend of mine with Vista64bit also had problems, and bought Bluesoleil 64bit for better profile support. You can testdrive it with 2mb limit.

Thanks Lucas but for me it is the job of HTC to have a smooth integration within an OS like vista.
If not I will sell this device and go for an iphone.
UP :-(

The problem is probably the driver on windows vista, so switching to another phone will not help much. Besides..."smooth integration within an OS like vista" and "iphone" you have got to be joking!!!

Please guys,
Could someone tells me he succeeds to synchronise the touch hd with a vista x64 through bluetooth?
The HTC support finally called me back asking to reinstall windows mobile 6.1 vista x64 but didn't work...
AFAIK this will not work with Vista. At least not with the Vista bluetooth stack.
I have the same problem you describe with my Wizard and my Diamond.
After switching to the Widcomm bluetooth stack I remember being able to synchronize my phones over BT.
I don't know exactly where the problem lies and if only HTC is to blame here.
I'm sorry, I can't give you a solution here.
Still, if you like to give it a try, go to

I sync my Hermes with my Vista 64bit.
But I don't know wich BT-Stack is installed.
My laptop is an Asus V1S.
HTC customer support line
Dont hold your breath waiting for them to get back to you, i waited two months to get a reply email asking me to call their helpline.
Absolutely useless!!!!!!!
yeah, same problem at my side......
I'm using IBM T61p, and the update from broadcom site doesnt work......
Yesterday I have come across something interesting.
I had to hard-reset my device and afterwards it would not be recognized in Windows Mobile Device Center when connecting via USB cable. I heard the sound from the Device Manager, so Vista knew the device was connected, but it wouldn't show up in WMDC.
So I reinstalled WMDC, but still no luck.
But - and here comes - I was able to pair my HD over bluetooth with my PC and Vista installed the bluetooth drivers for the phone! I am now able to synchronize over bluetooth!
Sadly synchronizing over USB cable does not work any more.
For all of you having trouble with WMDC and bluetooth, try reinstalling WMDC 6.1, maybe this helps.

I too could never get a connection initiated from WMDC to the HD, with standard Vista Bluetooth. Pairing the the Vista desktop pc with the HD never was a problem, but Activesync. Then I tried to start the sync from the HD - and it worked.
Go the the Settings tab in TouchFlo3D, and use the first tab "Sync data" (Daten synchronisieren in German), and the HD connected itself to the WMDC, via the Hama Nano bluetooth dongle using standard Vista drivers. Give it a try!
OK, finally I got it work successfully.
The way to connect HD with PC, have to from HD to PC, can't from PC to HD.
I'm doing steps as follow:
1. set your PC's bluetooth as discoverable.
2. at HD side, search PC with bluetooth
3. after that, pair HD with PC
4. open your active sync on the HD, and select connect with bluetooth
5. after connected, everything works
Now I can explore my HD on my PC, everything is OK.
I have the same issue. I keep getting a message on my vista pc that Windows cannot install the device driver for a bluetooth peripheral.....very annoying!!
i also have this problem (vista cant find drivers). i'm trying to get the beta sideshow app workinng.
any help would be great.
thanks
Touch HD driver problem
I am having some bluetooth problems too but not exactly as you describe. I have a Touch HD and have it syncing over bluetooth with my Lenovo laptop (Vista32) and my PC (Vista64) fine. However, everytime I connet the phone, Windows tries to install drivers for it but can't find them. The drivers seem to be bluetooth related because if I go into Bluetooth Devices and click the Touch HD and search services, either nothing is listed or sometimes just "telephony". So I can't use any of my phones bluetooth profiles like internet sharing.
I have a weird feeling that it has something to do with the Touch HD Hotfixes that HTC has released recently.
Has anyone out there been able to fix the issue?????
luketoms, I have exactly the same problem as yours with my HTC Touch Pro and vista x64. This related to bluetooth driver in my point of view.
I haven't found any solution for that.
Has anyone a clue ?
Thx
I share your problem too, luketoms & gbouille. Espescially annoying, since I have connected my HD before sucessfully, with Vista locating the right drivers from Windows Update, displaying it as a HTC Touch HD T8282. Independent from WMDC.
Now, it seems my HD and laptop are no longer friends.
Does it say 'Missing bluetooth peripheral device'? If it does, right click on the device for properties. Click on update driver OR
Go to device manager, you'll see an unknown device named bluetooth peripheral device. Double click it to open its properties
Click 're-install driver' on the second tab.
Click Browse my computer for driver software' button
Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
There may be a list asking for device type, select 'bluetooth radios'
On the next page there will be a list of company names on the left side and a list of drivers on the right. In the company list choose 'Microsoft Corporation' ... not 'Microsoft'. Confirm selection is microsoft corporation.
On the drivers list there may be one or more driver versions for the mobile phone, select a newer version.
Click next, and ignore any warnings and keep pressing next
Then it shows successfully installed drivers
phabreel : it does indeed! Thankyou. Still, windows will not recognize the HD as a PAN compatible device when searching for it through the bluetooth wizard. And it has done just that before!
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 have just connected a new bluetooth dongle to my windows 7 notebook, now it is telling me I need a driver for my "bluetooth device" assuming this is the phone they are talking about, can anyone tell me where I can get a driver for the palm treo pro for windows 7, thanks in advance for any help....driving me crazy trying to get the phone to connect to pc via bluetooth
thanks again.

Did u try installing while connected to the internet? cuz You don't need to go searching for a driver as windows 7 comes with a pretty nice feature that helps by auto-connecting to windows update, fetches and installs d driver for you...
P.S...i'm running windows 7 ultimate 32-bit and i use a bluetooth dongle myself (Active sync/Data transfer works perfectly)
agree, never had a problem with win 7 drivers
(except win 7 64bits)
Dear all
I have issues with my bluetooth connection
everytime I tried to connect MS2 with my laptop, it's always failed.
In this case both the laptop and MS 2 detects the bluetooth connection (I even paired them). but there is no connection (i.e I can't receive image transferred to laptop from MS2 and vise versa)
In my laptop's bluetooth device, I can find my MS2 buth with yellow mark on it. When I tried to troubleshoot this problem with win7 troubleshooter, no succes. It's said that "bluetooth peripheral device doesn't have a driver - not fixed"
Have you ever met this experience?
please guys help me, it's like pain in the ass if my MS2 cannot connect to my laptops via bluetooth..
btw I use sony vaio with win 7 64 bit
MS 2 rooted with stock ROM
Best Regards
I have the same issue with HP Probook 4320s and Windows 7 64 bit, looks like a win issue... I have no problem with my other laptop running windows vista business

yeah..maybe win issue.
I've searched the bluetooth peripheral device from both manufacturer and windows site, but nothing came up with a success.
In the bluetooth device control of my PC I clicked "send files to my phone"
I choose the .apk files and hit "send" but it failed after several second.
the message was "The request could not be honored", it seems that the phone reject the request.
But then I try to send .rar and it works. So from now on if I had to transfering files via bluetooth to my MS2, I zip it first
I'm wondering if there is an option for MS2 to "receive all incoming beam"?
give it a try guys
I have tried it on my macbook, it also can't work...
Seems motorola didn't put any effort on bluetooth file transfering...
Use some e third party apps to solve it...

Hello,
I originally posted this over on the WP8 forums, but I still haven't been able to figure this out. Maybe someone here has the solution.
I've got a Lumia 1020 and I'm trying to connect via Bluetooth to a windows 8.1 device. I'm able to pair the devices, but as soon as that process is complete, the connection drops. On my phone, I can tap on the name of my computer, and it will reconnect, but it lasts for literally 3 seconds, before dropping the connection again. I've tried connecting to both my Surface RT and my windows 8.1 ultrabook with the same result. The phone will connect to my car stereo just fine, and I never have to do anything with it. Is there some sort of protocol that's missing in Windows 8 to allow phones to connect via Bluetooth? My main use for this would be music streaming, and using my tablet as a hands free device.
My eventual plan is to mount my Dell Venue 8 Pro in my car as a carpc, so I would like to figure this out somehow. I've tried disabling the Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator, and strictly use the Intel Bluetooth 4.0 adapter, but still, the same thing happens. I can't even stream music from my phone.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin
I should also mention that I've tried connecting an android phone with the same outcome
The connection drops because nobody uses it. As soon as some app open a socket between the phone and tablet, the connection will pop up again. This is the default behavior of bluetooth. The devices are first paired, and connection is opened only after something needs it.
