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.

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.
I did google for this problem and found that many users have faced this problem but could not find any finite working solution for this. I'm getting the same error: Bluetooth peripheral device driver not found. Has someone in this community faced this and found a solution to it. It's very frustrating to not being able to connect it to my PC using BT.
I did not have this problem
I am using Windows7 with my Sony Vaio 14p (also supports Bluetooth 4.0) and did not encounter with any problems transferring files from the device to the laptop.
First thing I suggest you to try is a cheap Bluetooth dongle that supports BT 4.0
my Pavillion DV6 connects ok. What type of laptop have u?
I'm having the same issue with my HOX and my Lenovo X220 tablet.
During the drivers install in Win7, a peripheral device driver isnt found. My Desire HD works fine though.
I have the same issue

the same model of computer?
I can connect my Galaxy Note II to my car and TV's Bluetooth Audio and play music.
However in Windows 8, I can only Pair, but no option on Phone to connect to Audio Device etc like with the tv and car's connections.
There are options to send file on my laptop, but no audio streaming etc as expected.
Please check and assist if possible.
Windows Drivers related?
Hi,
I think it is windows drivers related.
Is anyone aware on drivers for this?
USB drivers are ok, but obviously additional drivers for USB?
Kind Regards
brandt
support please check also
anyone??
I installed Keis air also and no change here :<
Same here.
Got a W8 64b Pro with Intel Bluetooth Driver correctly installed.
When I discover services on my note 2 from my computer it did not show "Audio" (on W7 and Motorola's phone all worked correctly).
Any idea why we did not have the audio service on Note 2 ?
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:
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.
