Should the 900 be able to connect with built in Bluetooth from a laptop? everything installs like it should work but my lumia sayes "not possible" or something similar to that.
I installed the nokia tools from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605144
Specifically the Nokia Care Suite. After I did that and for no reason really I paired up the phone via bluetooth to my laptop and suddenly I get a media player interface and when I hit play its streaming my phones music....

WP7 phones will probably only support BT headset and BT stereo profiles. So, if your laptop BT supports those two profiles, you will be able to pair/connect. You can't use it for other purposes, e.g. file transfer or contact transfer because WP7 doesn't support them.

Hi folks,
I wondering, how to set-up some kind of service on a windows based computer, which enables wm based ppc to play sound through a2dp on it.
Is it possible? Which tool I must use? Any ideas how to do that?
Thanks for all your replies
hhmmmm
you mean, that you only want to listen music from your ppc on your pc with a2dp service?
try to use bluesoleil. It has many services.

yes, you can do that, provided your device and bluetooth support it.
I do it all the time at work. If you computer has Bluetooth Stereo Audio profile, you pair your phone with it and simply select "set as stereo bluetooth" on your phone, shouldn't require any settings on the computer side and voila, you'll have your audio through your computer. It blows my co-workers minds how I go from headphones to my desktop. My work doesn't have a lot of internet bandwidth so I use my phone to stream di.fm and bassdrive.com.
OK, this may be a bit naive, especially since T-Mo is rumored to stop tethering on the TM506 in later updates (heaven forbid SIM provisioning), but I would like to tether the Dash to the TM506, like a PC, via BT and only have data on the TM506. I really love my Dash for now and the TM506 has HSPDA 3.5G. Can this be done? Can any additional WM6 software accomplish this?

Find my thread on Bluetooth Dun, it has the software you need, just install it on your T-Mobile Dash to the main memory. If you cannot find it get back with me...........!
Thanks for the quick reply and advice.
I'll search your threads to find the DUN Posts and post back in a few days. So I quess the Dash can dial to T-Mo 3G using the TM506 modem via BT. Great!
I just wonder if there is a way to configure DUN without it eating minutes. Previously, when I set up connection teaming on a laptop with the Dash and a Samsung T409 using DUN, minutes on my plan began to mysteriously get used.
Is it possible to use T-Mo DUN without eating minutes off your plan?

That's a beautiful little Sony phone, I saw it in the T-Mobile store yesterday. I believe it will work, if you cannot find the software, I will PM you a link to the BT dunn software a little bit later. I got to find it also, but I have it.........!
I found it
Look for a PM in the next 10 minutes.........!

Below is the BT dunn file, install it to the main memory, you still will need the configuration set up.........!

Thanks, I still have it in my downloads from the last time you helped me. I didn't really need it then because my modded Dash had BT DUN enable for PC to Dash modem. Hope it works for Dash to TM506 modem.
Update: I installed the app to main memory but I don't see a program link or folder in program files. I'm guessing something went wrong but the install was reported as successful.

Nothing is wrong, it's there, you will not see anything, but it will work, pair the devices. Let me know how things work out for you....!
Sorry, Techhology but I still can't figure this out. The Bluetooth services of the TM506 only list Input Device and Serial Port. Give me a few more pointers. Thanks.

Print a picture of what you are working with on the Sony TM506, I would love to make this work. Another thing did you get the 2 devices paried.......?
Yes the devices are paired. The TM506 sees these services on the Dash: Object Push, File Transfer, Audio Remote Control and target. The Dash sees these services on the TM506: Input Device and Serial Port.
It appears that the SE PC Suite connects to the TM506 through BT serial port. You can also use BT dial-up networking directly instead of BT serial port.
If it were possible to have the Dash use the BT serial port on the TM506, like the SE PC Suite, then it might work. But I can't find any function in the Dash to do this.
I was also successful in connecting two PC's to the TM506 via BT. One via BT DUN and the other via BT PAN. The PC's had internet but the connections seemed very slow.

Ok, you will not see anything the Dash but the BT dunn file are there. Do you have a BT set up on the TM506?
Somthing tells me this would have been easier with a PPC instead on a Smartphone. GRIN
I can use DUN from a PC to both the TM506 and the Dash just fine. But I can't seem to figure out how to use DUN from the Dash to the TM506.
Many BT profile features on the TM506 are not visible to the Dash. Especially DUN and PAN. The BT serial port is visible but theres no application on the Dash to take advantage of this like the SE PC Suite does.
I've attached a picture of the BT services provided by the TM506 to a PC using the Widcomm BT stack.
Looks like the picture is too small. I'll try to post a better one.
Larger Photo of TM506 BT service to a PC with Widcomm BT Stack. The SE PC Suite uses the Serial Port to connect. Use can also use Dial-Up directly. In the photo I was using PAN - notice the green connected icon.
Hi all, I can’t seem to find a straight answer on this forum about how to connect my SX66 (WM6.1) to my Windows XP PC over Bluetooth so I can listen to my mp3s or internet radio on my HIFI system that’s connected to my PC?
I am using a Bluetooth USB stick and I have them both paired using the BT software the came with Windows XP.
I had tried BlueSoleil software in the past to listen to my music but I didn’t find it practical because it keeps disconnecting and I would need to pair them again.
I am running ROM version: 6.141 WWE, RADIO version: 1.02.10 and ExtROM version: BLACK KERNEL
Thanks
first of all let's make sure i got the question right:
you want to stream audio from your sx66 to your pc, right?
well that is no problem in general, since the sx66 is known to have better BT quality than most of the other BA models (further range, higher tx rate).
since windows xp does not come with a proper usable bluetooth client (unlike vista) i woul generally recommend bluesoleil, because it can be a handy tool, once you got all the settings right. plus you don't need extra drivers, since most of the BT chip manufacturers work with bluesoleil.
then all you have to do is pair your device with your pc and once that's done, set bluesoleil to allow the device to do all further things in all areas without further confirmation.
then you need to make sure you have the a2dpfix on your sx66, which is needed for stereo bt stream.
then, when paired, start wmp and play music, and look in the mixer on your pc, if a signal comes in, and what channel and turn it up / activate it for audio input.
(let me repeat that all this is so much easier in vista, and for every step i made the other day i have to think of 5 ones which are necessary to do the same on xp)
then your stream should work as long as you don't close wmp, if you do so and then want to continue playing, you need to connect to your pc in your BA's bluetooth app again, but need no settings on the px anymore which i guess is a relief.
back to the basics: if you really want to do that, you can do it now, but still i can't think of a reason why anyone should do that, i suppose the mp3s your playing come from your pc and you could play them there anyway, your pc can probably also play internet radio.
if that is a "i turn the screen off and control the music with my mobile!" thing, i can give you another freeware, with which you can control winamp, whenever you are connected via activesync, no matter if you are doing that via cable, cradle, BT or wi-fi.
i just gotta look it up, i don't have it right now either but it is great!
e.g. i want to control my music while playing, but with full screen games and without media keys on the pc's keyboard i need an external winamp control to (plus it also provides jump to and other things media keyboards can't do).
EDIT: i could not find the program i had to control winamp from my device, but it was a bit older, even worked with wm2003se, but i did find, that people do like to control their pc players from mobiles, therefore, a thread was made, to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294524
greetings Chef_Tony
P.S. please re-post, if it worked and if that is what you actually asked.
Thanks
Thank you for the quick reply; Yes you understood correctly.
It seems that BlueSoleil is the only solution for what I want to do, so I reinstalled (version: 6.4.245.0) again with the A2DPFix.CAB and it’s working for now.
Do you know where I can find a cab file to install on my BA to enable the rest of BlueSoleil services (Bluetooth phonebook….)? BlueSoleil is asking me to install “symbian\IVT-wm(1.0.2).CAB” on my device, but it doesn’t work and the only file I can find on this forum is the “bluesoleil_r2.arm_163.zip” for magician.
actually, for other services, like dialing, phoebook, sms and stuff i would suggest pairig the device, and setting up activesync via bluetooth, your phonebook is to be found in outlook then and for writing sms and completely controlling your device i would suggest MyMobiler, which is a freeware remote program which gets the BA's screen on the pc and you can control the device via the pc's keyboard and mouse. i also use that for making screenshots of new roms and stuff, it's free and works with activesync, so cradled, BT, wi-fi doesn't matter. that of course, doesn't 100% satisfy your question, i guess. i'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but be sure to check in this thread later, because i will edit, as soon as i found something that really brings you the services.
Thanks for the info. MyMobiler works great
By the way I uninstalled the A2DPFix because the sound was choppy.
Good evening,
Well MyMobiler is not working everytime on my device and i'd appreciate to find bluesoleil CE if it allows you to send sms from PC without having to link it anytime.
Have a nice evening.
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.
I would like to connect (not just pair) an extra loud Bluetooth phone ringer (made by Renny) to my rooted desire 530.
(6.0.1 marshmallow, ver. 4.1 bluetooth) that is already paired/connected to a Panasonic "link to cell" cordless phone bank.
The problem is of course that I can only connect one or the other not both at the same time.
Discussions with the Renny tech rep he says his LG will connect as many as you want. The Samsung rep says that only their Galaxy 8 with bluetooth5.0 will do that. My question is there an app for that or a different ROM or kernel update that will do this.
It depends on the capabilities of both devices and the type of service they can provide. At the moment my SmartWatch, my Bluetooth earphones and my pc is connected to my android phone. My Bluetooth earphones are also connected to my pc as the earphones have dual connection capability.

In my short time here I have come to understand that if you see no way to upgrade the phone's software to accomplish this, then it can't be done. But if you do think of some way then by all means let me know. I'm sure the folks that build the ringer would pay well for a patch/app to make their device work right. They have told me that some phones will make multi connections with their ringer and some phones don't and they don't know which ones or why.
