[Q] Connect to Win 7 PC w/ Bluetooth

I have searched the forums with every combination of wording I could think of, as well as Google, for an answer to this problem...
How do I connect my Captivate to my Win 7 64 PC with Bluetooth? My laptop detects my phone, and vice versa, and I can successfully pair the devices, but after pairing Windows searches for Bluetooth drivers, and is unsuccessful in finding any.
I have searched for Bluetooth drivers, but have not found any online either.
Is there something I am missing here?
-Also, I have the USB drivers, and those work fine. I tried installing Kies and using that to connect via Bluetooth, but that is unsuccessful as well.

What dongle do you have? You have to install the bluetooth dongle drivers......if needed. Additional 'services' on bluetooth may reqquire specific drivers.

The bluetooth is built into my laptop, so I am not sure, but the drivers are installed. I will try reinstalling the laptop's drivers again though, to be sure there isn't an issue there.

Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers - Still no luck. Restarted computer - Same. Rebooted phone - Now it works. Go figure.

Does windows fail to find all driver updates while pairing, or only one? Can you look under Device Manager for yellow ! marks.

Definitely check for this, and also, when you have successfully paired your phone, you'll see it as a device in my computer.

Rebooting is such a small thing with such big consequences !!!

[Q] Connect WP8 to windows 8 for bluetooth streaming

Hello,
I've got a Lumia 1020 and I'm trying to connect via Bluetooth to a windows 8.1 device. I'm able to pair the devices, but as soon as that process is complete, the connection drops. On my phone, I can tap on the name of my computer, and it will reconnect, but it lasts for literally 3 seconds, before dropping the connection again. I've tried connecting to both my Surface RT and my windows 8.1 ultrabook with the same result. The phone will connect to my car stereo just fine, and I never have to do anything with it. Is there some sort of protocol that's missing in Windows 8 to allow phones to connect via Bluetooth? My main use for this would be music streaming, and using my tablet as a handsfree device.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin

There isn't really any way to do that unless you are using something other than Microsoft's generic Bluetooth driver. I'd recommend checking out Trendnet's Bluetooth dongle or something that has broadcom drivers and they are extremely feature packed. My several year old BT 2.0+EDR from them works great!

Thanks for the reply, I'll give that a shot!

Have you tried opening "View Devices and Printers" from desktop control panel? From there you should be able to right-click on your Lumia and click "Control".
I haven't used any Lumias but I'm able to stream from and to my Ativ Neo with both my Surface Pro and Lenovo Lynx running 8.1
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your question.

BT Pairing to Windows 10.

I'm trying to pair my Nexus to my windows 10 laptop using bluetooth and have it so that I can accept and handle calls from my laptop. I recently purchased an Asus dongle - BT400 - that is compatible with HFP, HSP, and A2DP. However, my problem is that whenever I try to pair my phone to my pc I'm running into issues. What happens is that the phone will pair, however it will not connect afterwards. Typically I should be able to select the device in my BT devices menu on my phone to connect, however nothing occurs when I do that. Also when hitting the cog it does not list any services available, nor is Windows able to connect to detect services. I have verified that I am able to stream audio using the same dongle on my Windows 8 desktop. I have updated to the most current driver and still am not having any luck.
I should also mention that I am running cm 12.1.

Beats me but should test these things on stock. 10 out of 10 times it a CM problem. If works on stock then it is CM.

Sadly, I was presented with the same issue on stock. I actually put CM on to see if it made a difference. However, occasionally I can get the phone to try and connect, but I get presented with a BSOD. I've researched and it appears to be an issue w/ win10.

Sidesync not finding phone connected via USB !?

I tried searching the forum and found no comments on sidesync so here is my problem:
What I am using:
Sidesync 4.0 installed on a windows 7 x64 PC
Galaxy Note 5 (Verizon) running 5.1.1 (Stock of course :/ )
SideSync 4.0.9.9 App on the phone from samsung store
I was able to successfully connect to my home PC over WiFi network so I know the phone software will do it.
When I try to connect wirelessly at work I can't use WiFi because the desktop PC is wired and the phone is wireless. I understand this and that is not the issue.
I am connected the phone via USB directly to the computers USB port and SideSync is not finding it. I log on to my PC with an unprivileged account so when I launch sidesync it wants admin credentials which I provide. Once launched it will not find the phone.
Anyone have any thoughts?

When I connected mine for the first time this morning it had to install a driver before I plugged in the phone. Did it prompt you to unplug and install the driver? Seems to work great but if I bring up the phone screen on the PC it cuts out my headphone audio that I am listening to through the phone, not sure if it is trying to play through my PC I'll have to play around with it.

AA with two phones

Hi there!
Does anyone succeed in having two phones working with AA ? One stays connected permanently to AA, the second one is connected to BT for calls and texting.
My experience is that even if both are correctly connected when they are alone, once together all is a mess. As soon as the second phone gets connected to AA, the first one gets deconnected from BT.
I tried to break BT connection within the second phone. It gets connected anyway to AA, but this didn't solve the issue. The first one was ejected from BT,stating that another device was already BT connected (even if BT is broken).
Any help ? BT Mac address modification on the first phone to match second phone ?
Thanks in advance !

i been toying with the idea to do this.
sorry i just need to ask, even you disable auto connect Bluetooth in AA setting?

Haven't tried yet but surely a good idea ... On my way to test !
When you say that you've been toying, do you mean you get it to work or not ?
My purpose is to use a Nexus 7 2013 (not LTE version) as a permanent device connected to AA, and use my phone connected to BT, thus to avoid plugging/unplugging ...

No joy ... Using BT or not has no effect ... Phone is deconnected when tablet is connected to AA...

Deleting pairing has no impact. I even succeeded in breaking BT to avoid AA to wake it up but no joy either.
Whenever AA gets connected to the phone (via USB), any other BT connection is rejected stating that another device is already connected ...
Spoofing BT Mac address of soon to be BT-connected phone with the one of AA-connected phone might be a solution ? But not enough geek to try this one...

Seems strange nobody came across this idea ... please help if you did !

I worked it out, permanently disabling the Bluetooth using root. I described it in this thread.

Tried that already... Disabling BT doesn't prevent HU from detecting and kind-of BT pairing the device, ejecting in the same time the phone ... At least in my situation...

I reply to myself.
I found out a solution.
Strangely, disabling BT did not solve my problem. It seems that the headunit was retrieving information gathered at the first connection...
I then decided to hard reset the headunit. When asked to connect phone to BT, I complied.
In the meantime, I spoofed the BT MAC Address, copying phone's one to tablet. Now they both have the same BT MAC Address.
When tablet was plugged into usb for AA connection, the phone stayed BT connected. It worked and works since then.
Application to spoof BT MAC Address could be easily found on the G market.

i been toying wirh aa2. 9 or aa3. 0 because of non working issues
i accidently noticed my bt does not connect to my car but aa2. 9 still works.
i need to replicate this again.
if this work, 2 phone can still works

Try using "app quarantine". This it the only application that really stoped my BT for good.

So success with 2 phones?

Do you need to be rooted to spoof the BT MAC address?
Thanks

Thanks for this.
I kind of have it working but cannot control the phone connected by BT from the head unit (which still tries to make calls from the phone connected via AA).
Calls made directly from the phone do however go through the head unit.
Is there a way to control the BT phone via the head unit with the other phone connected via AA?

thank you to Pixege !
the method described it realy works (tested on Galaxy S7 and galaxy S5) in function on galaxy S5
it works ok if tha main phone it is conected in HFP mode
but because I have and rSAP mode and I'd like it want to use this type of conection but here are some problems..
the reason it is because I try to build from a galaxy s5 SM-901F (6.0.1, version MMB29M.G901FFXXU1CQE3 rooted with chainfire ) a standalone device im my car for use android auto in the car independent of my normal phone (galaxy S8)
so I want to use in the same time 2 android phones but both want to conect by bluetooth to the car (VW Discovery Pro)
to do that I disable via Esentiale root bluetooth proceses I found and works fine if the main S8 it is conect by HFP protocol
but if s8 is conected by rSAP (and I want to be conected by rSAP) when the second phone is conected by usb(with blutooth off) somehow disconect the sim from main S8 phone (but on the phone show like the rsim it is still working) but not conect to the second phone
if I first conect the android auto (S5) and after connect the phone (S8) rhe rSAP conection works fine
if I first conect the phone (S8) and after connect the android auto (S5) the rSAP conection not work on S8
anyway I want to disable the rsap on the galaxy s5 , how can I do this?

i solved in this way
