bluetooth dongle - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i bought me a pair of motorola bluetooth headphones, and a bluetooth dongle for my laptop.
I can connect the headphones to my phone just fine, but i cant seem to be able to connect my phone or the headphones to the computer. I can, however, transfer files over bluetooth from phone to pc.

motorola DC800 AD2P transceiver

Anybody know how to get this thing to automatically connect with a BT device whenever it's it range? I have to do it manually from my phone which is a bother.
I have that same unit and that's just what you have to do.

Connecting Bluetooth Headphones to Computer

I just got the Motorola HT820 bluetooth stereo headphones and I cannot get them connected to my computer properly. I plugged in my Actiontec bluetooth dongle and it installed on my pc. Then I paired my HT820 with the computer. It shows as paired, but it doesn't have any services.
Anybody got any advice?
i had some bluetake bluetooth headphones never could get them to work prob with vidcomm or ms bluetooth stacks well they worked as headset but not as stereo good quality headset when i picked that profile they just dident play
did get them to work with the toshiba bluetooth stack but not great
and then the trail ran out
maybe it's the fault of the headset or maybe the bluetooth stacks never confirmed it
Is there any place to get generic bluetooth drivers with A2DP? Or does the bluetooth dongle have to be setup for that already?
i tested with a logitech bluetooth dongle and a belkin dongle
and both worked with ms, vidcomm and toshiba bluetooth software on the pc
but as i mentioned not all profiles worked or worked well

[Q] How do you connect Evo to Windows 7 via Bluetooth?

Hi, I'm trying to connect my Evo to my Windows 7 laptop so I can use the laptop as a hands-free (better speakers and mic).
It was really easy to pair the Evo, but after that there are no options for connecting?
If you press and hold the computer's name in Bluetooth Settings, the only option is give you is to Unpair. Unless my car and BT handset, where it shows 3 selections (Connect, Unpair, Options).
Has anyone been able to successful pair AND CONNECT their Evo/Android phone to Windows 7?
I got mine to connect once, did it on the laptop side after making phone visible, just transfered some files, doubt it will do what you want without a program on laptop with those drivers that will let it, I doubt it could native
Thanks, yea, on the PC side, there isn't any option to actually connect it?
I can see my phone and it has all the services checked but there's no actual option to connect. Not sure if this is a Win7 or Android issue?
It's the default Windows 7 bluetooth driver; it's not very compatible with smartphones or anything other than some OBEX, headsets, A2DP, etc.
Third-party Bluetooth drivers work OK though, like Blue Soleil.
thanks, that sucks.
hopefully, M$ will improve their bluetooth stack to work better with mobile now that winMo 7 is out.

[Q] Bluetooth Stereo Issue

http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Remote-Stereo-Bluetooth-Gateway/dp/B00170KUM0
I use this Blackberry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway to stream music to my car stereo. I've used it with an HTC EVO, Droid X, and Droid X2 with no problems.
I just upgraded to the Galaxy S2 EPIC 4g Touch and it will not find the adapter.
The Stereo Gateway goes into pairing mode for 30sec. when you first turn it on, and the S2 does not find it when I turn on bluetooth and search for devices.
I've tried it on my other devices with no problems, I've re-paired the stereo gateway with a brand new LG Optimus S, with no problems. I know that the Stereo Gateway is functioning.
I am guessing that because the S2 is equipped with the Bluetooth 3.0 specifications that this would be the cause of the problem, BUT i thought it was supposed to be backwards compatible with older devices.
Anyone have any input or can help me?
I use the phone which is paired to my Scala Rider helmet sound system with the stereo working fine. The Scala system is Bluetooth 2.1. My phone actually works better with my Scala than both my old Gingerbread phone and my iPod touch. Both of those ALWAYS had to be manually connected and they'd both occasionally lose the connection from time to time. With my Ep4gt, it ALWAYS automatically connects when both devices are on, and its never dropped the connection.
Is there a way to update your car stereo?
Does anyone know of anything that I can replace the Blackberry Stereo Gateway with? It needs to be removable and connect to a 3.5 headphone plug.

I use my Epic 4G Touch with my Blackberry Stereo Gateway. Only thing I had to do different is when I first paired it I had to do a manual scan on my phone. On my EVO as soon as I would start my car my EVO would prompt me that the Gateway was try to pair with my phone.
Edit: You know if I remember correctly it seem like it took forever for it to find it the first time I searched for the adapter, but it did eventually pair.

I can pair bluetooth, cut it wont connect!!

Hi all,
I have been using a N7100 for nearly a year now, and this is the first time this has happened to me.
I am currently running stock 4.1.2.
When i try and connect any bluetooth device (apart from a bluetooth adaptor for my speakers) to my device, it pairs fine, when i click on the paired device to connect it, it just doesnt do anything.
When i used to click on it, it would say its connecting, and then connect, but now it just says paired, and doesnt do anything.
I have tried connecting it with my HTC 8X, Galaxy S2, and Alienware M17x, and its the same for all of them. but if i try pairing it with my fission (cheap brand) bluetooth adaptor, it says its "connected to media audio". and i can play music thru the external speakers.
But it wont work with any other device.
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong??.
Does anyone know a fix for this issue?.
I have tried flashing to different versions of stock firmware, but it doesnt help.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Corey
