Just a simple fun fact, I watch and listen all my content on my TV screen via de PS3 skipping the TV cable necessity. I just use the USB cable and hook it straight to my system. It recognizes all my storage card content. You can probably do the same off of the XBOX360.
yeah i do that, but what've been trying to do is get my phone to act like a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I installed this app http://www.mobilesrc.com/mobileremote.aspx
then i went to my ps3 and searched for BT devices and it just kept searching for a long time and stayed on the searching screen for like 3 minutes and i just canceled
can someone try it out and see if it works for them.
So I bought a really cheap Bluetooth USB dongle for my PC, about 5 bucks. It installs a program call Bluesoleil.
It wouldnt work from the CD, so I downloaded it from their website. Its just an evaluation copy so it only lets transfers of 2mb.
All I really needed the download for was for the driver.
How do I pair my Tilt 2 with my PC? My Tilt 2 is set to discoverable, but still wont find it (its like 2 feet from my PC).
I want to be able to transfer songs and such in the Windows Mobile Device Centre through bluetooth so I dont have to keep plugging it in.
Any suggestions?
PS: Neither my phone can find my PC nor my PC can find my phone. I can find it through a different menu on my phone somehow (forgot how now) but it asked me for a password, and I have no password on my PC.
Sounds like a driver issue with your dongle

I'd remove all software that came with the Bluetooth adaptor and let W7 sort out it's own drivers for it - that's what I did and my cheap (£2!) Bluetooth adaptor works fine.
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, I am wondering if it were possible for somebody on here to write an app or pc program that turns my phone into a bluetooth dongle via usb? Because I have a bluetooth headset that I want to use on my pc but I can't use it because I don't have a bluetooth dongle. Now instead of going out and buying a bluetooth dongle, I figured since I have an android phone that it would somehow be possible to use my phone as a bluetooth adapter/dongle that my pc can use? I'm using windows 7 amd 64-bit, and a sprint galaxy nexus. (please move to appropriate forum, idk how i got in the galaxy note ii forum i thought i was in sprint galaxy nexus forum)

never seen such a thing. would be cool. i recommend just going and buying a dongle. they are super super cheap anyway. so very little harm will be done with that money.
I don't know if it can and never seen a project like this, but I think you better off buying the USB-Bluetooth adapter. It's extremely cheap now a day. And you gotta ask yourself, is it very worth it to wait? Even if it exist, it wouldn't be as capable as the real one, and then you have to worry about some other stuff what happen when the phone ring, does the phone have the head set or the PC? Seriously, go buy the adapter unless you want to scratch your own itch.
thanks for the feedback. I got a bluetooth adapter recently but it says my headset has no device drivers to install so it doesn't work for me :/ Idk how to make it work
ah, i had that on win7. doesn't come with a2dp drivers. you need your own (laptops tend to come with the manufacturers own) like blue soleil or some such

Hey man. So, actually making your phone into a bluetooth dongle is a lil' bit nasty due to permission issues. BUT, there is another way. As you are willing to use this "measure" to stream your PC's audio to your bluetooth headset, you can download an audio streaming app from the appstore (such as SoundWire for Android), set up the connection between your PC and your smartphone, and THEN you share your phone's media through the phone's bluetooth service to the headset. Maybe there can be a loss of syncronization for games and videos, but music will be just fine! Hope it helps

Hmm. Well, things like USB WiFi dongles and USB bluetooth dongles do exist, so USB had nothing against wifi or bluetooth. And those dongles work just fine even when connected through a USB hub. And as you say, your device has both WiFi and bluetooth. So, the simplest possible solution would be to have the PC view the phone as a USB hub, and the phones WiFi and bluetooth can be shown as USB dongles connected through this "hub". Infact, with that option, it should be possible to share lots of things between the PC and phone. You could share NFC, or even a fingerprint scanner, if you have them. Internet is obvious, because we already have USB tethering for that. I believe we also have apps that let us use the smart phone camera as a webcam? That too can be covered in this. Heck, even a GPS for the PC. (Or laptop?) Anyway, I am not much for coding and such, so if someone finds a way to implement it, please let me know? (If this becomes an app, then send me a free link, perhaps?)
For some reason my device won't connect to my pixel or any other phone. It will connect to my speakers, keyboard, mouse, and pretty much everything expect phones. It tries to connect but then it just stops. Any one have any ideas? I just want to be able to Bluetooth tether it.
