Anyone have an idea why I can't get my S3 and PC to agree on any bluetooth profiles? Is this common to the T999, or is it something with my PC? They pair easy enough, but neither shows a single profile. My PC is a Dell Inspiron 9400 with TrueMobile 360 internal bluetooth running Win7 x64, and the T999 is stock 4.1 non rooted. I think I'm running the stock Win 7 bluetooth software, should I try installing the (probably older) Dell 360 software?
Is this unique to me, the S3, android, or what? Someone must know.

Alright, so I'm trying to get my EVO to connect to Windows 7 64-bit in order to try out the Bluetooth tethering (via android-wifi-tether) and FTP server. I can connect the phone via bluetooth to my laptop, but as soon as I do, it just disconnects. I can't get them to reconnect (either from Windows or EVO). Windows shows no services, hardware, or anything.
Do I need a special driver or app for Windows? Some hidden setting in the EVO? A known bug?
And please refrain from super-obvious things, I've updated the driver for my bluetooth adapter, I've Googled around, and tested this on a Windows XP netbook, it paired and could transfer a file using OBEX just fine.
I am having this same problem. Have you been able to find any solution to this?

I'm having the same issue. I've been scouting forums, have paired and unpaired my EVO and Win7 Home Premium x64 Laptop over and over again, I've paired it from my phone and paired it from the laptop, and no difference.
I'm able to push files from my laptop to my phone but the reverse doesn't work at all. I get several errors which I believe are associated to the fact that my phone's bluetooth icon on the laptop shows no services or bt profiles in the properties box.
Did either of you figure this out?

SOLVED.
I went to my Laptop's manufacturer's website (lenovo) and downloaded the latest BT driver - an update from 2 months ago, although my last update was only 6 months ago.
It loaded all of the services I needed and once I paired my EVO to the computer about 7 different BT services were installed and connected to my EVO.
Hi there! I just bought the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I'm trying to connect the phone to my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion OSX so I can transfer my files and such and also access the SD card. On my previous phone, (HTC Sensation 4G), all I had to do was just connect it to the usb cable and I'll see my phone accessible on finder. This is not my case for the Note 2 right now. I even installed Android File Transfer and it still doesn't work. Android File Transfer reports, "Could not connect to device. Try reconnecting or restarting the device". And of course I tried all of that. The only thing that works is the Kies software from Samsung but the software is incredibly slow. It is telling me that it will take 10 hours to transfer a 125MB file. It doesn't make any sense at all. I'm running a maxed out MacBook Pro Retina Display and I got a spankin new phone using it's provided usb cable and I tried others. My only option to transfer files fast to my SD card is by taking it out physically and connecting it to my SD Card adapter
Please help! Thanks in advance

I've always had trouble with Android File Transfer and all my Samsung phones on my MacBook Pro. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. I avoid using it as much as possible now and just use AirDroid (which is slow and very similar to the Kies software) or I just remove the SD card and transfer files using an SD card adapter. I haven't found a fix or workaround to get it working properly.

bluetooth works pretty well:good:
I got a fix for you...... buy a real computer a pc and throw that piece of crap in the garbage. Did you install the drivers? is usb debug checked in developer options?

Please, don't give me that "PC vs MAC" crap I have both PC and MAC and reasons why I use both operating systems. And from using Mac & PC for the past 7 years for the work that I do, Mac OS X has been by far the most reliable operating system that I've ever used. On top of that, I do a lot of radio mixing work and DJing and graphical designing and such and Mac is a must. I've had a Windows laptop before gave me nothing but issues whatsoever. I spend a lot of money buying expensive and top of the line Windows laptops and I always have to worry about maintaining the damn thing and went through a lot of stress because of it. So I'm happy with what I have. But on a side note, I find the iPhone to be the crappiest phone on the planet and I have a Dell XPS for gaming and as a multimedia box. So I hope that justifies that I'm not an apple fan boy.
I did install drivers and yes I had USB debug checked.
Anyways I found a solution for Mac users. I have VMware running Windows 7 & Windows 8. I have both operating systems connected and running seamlessly with the my Mac files so I'll be able to access and edit files that would be on my Mac on my virtual operating systems. And that was a fix for me without having to transfer any music, pictures, etc to a different PC and then transfer the files to my phone. Although it requires virtualization, it's the only thing that worked for me. I still wish there was better compatibility. I had no issues with my old HTC HD2 and HTC Sensation 4G. Samsung really got me angry about this one and their Kies software is complete crap.
Smello. I've never tried transferring anything between my phone and Windows 7 machine via bluetooth before, so I never bothered to pair them. Now that I'm trying, Windows can't find the drivers (though it does detect the phone just fine).
Just wondering if someone could point me to them or help me find them. Thanks! :cyclops:
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 7 2013 with android 4.4 (didn't work on the 4.3 either) to my windows 7 PCs (both 64 and 32 bit). The pairing works but Windows won't install a driver. My Windows 7 Device Manager shows Bluetooth Peripheral Device - driver not found. I cannot find a driver anywhere.
I contacted Asus and asked which driver I can use and they replied that no such driver exists:
Dear Mister XXXX,
Thank you for your trust in our technical support.
Concerning the fact that you can’t find the Bluethooth drivers for Windows 7 I regret to inform you that doesn’t exist these types of drivers.
If your desire is to activate a tethering function, I regret to inform that this manipulation will not work, because the system of your product doesn’t support it.
Thank you for your understanding.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards,

Did anyone find a compatible driver? I searched already for a few hours the net and can only find problems with the bluetooth concerning connecting to devices like keyboard.One guy mentioned that bluesoleil provides a software which might work. Has anyone tried that?
My ultimate goal is to use my PC as a Bluetooth speaker for my tablet,

Even I need a way to set this up. Any one knows the solution?
You shouldn't need to install a driver on the desktop or laptop. That defeats the whole purpose of Bluetooth as conveniently connecting two devices.
What kind of Bluetooth adapter do you have on the PC, built-in or an external adapter? Fire it up, turn on Bluetooth on your N7, and pair one to the other.
The dongles driver was all I needed. Then I just paired and connected like I do every Bluetooth device. My understanding is that there is no need for drivers for the tablet, simply for the Bluetooth dongle. After that they just pair the way all Bluetooth pairs.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a software which will allow me to connect any android phone to a Windows laptop or a PC and then use the Windows device as a phone - to make & receive calls and to send/review/reply to messages.
This is already implemented in a lot of vehicles when you pair the phone and then call/answer through the car's UI. I'm looking for the same thing but using a Windows device (laptop, PC - with Bluetooth) like the car in the example.
Can you advise me about such a software?
Thanks!
Solution found!
I found a solution for Samsung devices and it's called SideSync. It's a Samsung app for the phone and a pc version with Windows and Mac support. It allows you to do everything on the PC which is great.
Since I recently switched from HOX to Galaxy S6 Active it works great for me. Don't know about other phones thought. It may be restricted to Samsung devices only? You can try and advise if it works for you.
