How can I transfer files between my Atrix and PC over Bluetooth?
I have one "bluetooth peripheral device" which does not have any drivers. lots of other bluetooth devices on the atrix aree discovered by windows 7 and found drivers.I can play atrix sound through pc speakers and use pc as a hands free system. both over bluetooth.
I think the one device on the atrix which win7 cant find drivers for must be used for file sharing.
I have no idea where one might find a driver..
EDIT:
Just tried it now and it worked :~0

You need this from the Market for your phone -----> Bluetooth File Transfer.
And a Bluetooth dongle for your PC like this ------> Wireless USB Bluetooth Dongle.
That should do it for you!
<edit> I'd have to check at home here, but this may only allow transfer from phone to PC. Heading to a party, so will maybe try tomorrow with bluetooth USB dongle I have at home.

I am looking to hear from people who have vista and have actrivelync working via bluetooth. I am looking for the model or the bluetooth adapter and the procedure they used to get it to work.
I currently have the activesync listed on my phone as an option but despite that when I try to bluetooth activesync it says there is no device in range..
i had vista and it was working on mine...i actually have windows 7 rc now and its still working fine...i have the rocketfish bluetooth dongle from best buy...works great!!
cheers!!
I have vista and use it to sync with my Phone. I use a rocketfish bluetooth adapter. It works good you have to pair it with the computer first time like pairing a bluetooth headset. Just follow the pairing instructions on the phone and the computer also you have to make them both discoverable when pairing

Make sure "Windows Mobile Device Center" is up and running on your computer before connecting via ActiveSync from your phone. Let me know if you run into issues.
I have a 64 bit Windows 7 computer. I open bluetooth file transfer , pair it with my computer successfully, and then I get an error that Windows 7 does not have device drivers for bluetooth peripheral. I have installed the driver on the phone and am able to connect via USB with no problems. I am not sure what I am missing. I don't see anything on HTC's site. Anyone able to clue me in on what I am doing wrong?
i am having the same issue, i have a thinkpad t500. i have done all the thinkpad driver updates, windows updates and also installed htc sync. and there are 2 portions of the bluetooth peripherals that dont work.
the ones that work are the following
1. av remote control target
2. av source
3. headset ag
4. opp
Looks like camera/video and info are the ones failing. here is the specific hardware id's.
BTHENUM\{453994d5-d58b-96f9-6616-b37f586ba2ec}_VID&0001000f_PID&0000
BTHENUM\{453994d5-d58b-96f9-6616-b37f586ba2ec}_LOCALMFG&000f
can anyone that has gotten the thunderbolt to do bluetooth get specific driver info for the ids above that would be great help.
thanks

Hello.
I'm trying to browse files on my HTC EVO 3D via bluetooth. To accomplish this, I went into:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Bluetooth Settings-> Bluetooth Advanced Settings
I enabled FTP Server
I then went to:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Bluetooth Settings->
And made the device discoverable.
From the Bluetooth Devices panel in Windows 7, I went to "Add a Device"
The device was found, I entered the pair code displayed in windows into my EVO 3D and then . . . I get an error message that the drivers were not installed properly.
If I select my HTC EVO 3D in the Bluetooth Devices panel and click "Troubleshoot" it detects problems ans suggests the followings:
Install a driver for this device
The Driver for Bluetooth Peripheral Device is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device.
Apply this fix
Skip this fix
Continue troubleshooting without applying this fix.
If I click "Apply this fix" it ultimately shows:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Bluetooth Peripheral Device X No Driver found
Since it doesn't have a driver, I can't access the EVO 3D.
Any ideas as to where I can find this driver or otherwise get this to work?
USB transfer works, HTC Sync works over USB, bluetooth headsets work, the phone pairs via bluetooth to the PC but I can't do anything with it because there are no drivers.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
ditto to the t, nice explanation of exactly whats happening.
Hahahaha works perfectly on my mac..
Do you have the htc drivers installed?
Edit: you do, did you try uninstalling them?
Same problem here man, i think its just 64-Bit because alot of other people are having the same problem with alot of devices while the 32-Bit guys are connecting without a hitch.
Windows bluetooth driver(s) for EVO 3D?
I'm having the same problem. I'm running Vista 32-bit. Where can I find the necessary bluetooth driver??
Thanks!
does any body has the solution??? I have the same problem, my laptop is HP dv5 1021et
I'm working on a carputer install with windows 7 32bit, and this is getting very frustrating. Has anyone contacted HTC on the issue? Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem, but very disappointed to find there's no solution yet.
Edit....
Emailed HTC support, will come back with response.
Mine connected fine.

HTC's response.
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with syncing your device by Bluetooth to your windows 7 PC. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device. You will want to make sure you have the most current Bluetooth drivers on your computer to try to connect your device by Bluetooth. When you connect your device with a vehicle Bluetooth system if it is compatible to sync over your contacts then it will but if it does not sync then it is possible it is not compatible. You will not be able to sync your information from your device to a PC via Bluetooth you will need to connect by USB cable and use HTC Sync to sync your information.
So it looks like there will be no data transfering, and it must be our Bluetooth devices don't have the proper drivers?
Clavoie- what Bluetooth dongle, or on-board Bluetooth device is windows using on your system?
Thanks!

I have an acer pc 64bit windows 7. Try uninstalling the BT software on your pc then reinstall it.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Has anyone ever found a fix for this? I tried all of the above but to no avail, and it is frustrating to say the least. Fresh install of Windows 7 32bit over Vista Business.
Still no fix for this?
I bought a bluetooth dongle on Amazon (ORICO BTA 403, CSR8510 A10 chipset) and installed it on my Windows 7 x64 computer.
The dongle installs fine and works perfectly with all my older phones but not with my Xperia S running Android 4.1.2.
Basically, if I install the automatic windows driver, and pair with the phone, windows complains about no drivers for the device, and I can't do anything with it.
If I install the supplied software (CSR Harmony wireless software stack) I can pair and the Xperia S is installed properly, the various audio services work (I can stream music to PC using BT), but I still can't send or receive files, either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC.
The connection times out after a second and gives me a connectivity error. It's like the phone refuses to connect to the PC, both when transferring and receiving.
I don't know if the phone is the problem, it seems to not work only when doing file transfers with PC, if I try to transfer files to other phones or to my mac (which has built in BT) it works fine.
Is there any way to fix this issue? Any way to troubleshoot this issue to tell if the problem comes from the phone or the dongle?
Searching with google I can't find any solution, I just get lost into a sea of bluetooth problems which have nothing to do with what I'm experiencing.
By the way, using Airdroid instead of BT is not a fix.

your problem is bare and I think you can try these two solutions out:
1- Restart your phone and check whether your problem has solved or not. 2- Restart your windows and also turn off your Antivirus and firewall and try again.

1.Its not a phone its Headphones. 2.Restart made no difference plus Antivirus/firewall not the cause, seems to be a driver problem when installing from windows update! Ta all the same.
The problem is ****ty drivers from the manufacturer. I installed Bluesoleil and it worked perfectly. Another solution is to use the Windows stack by manually installing drivers from the MS Windows Mobile Suite (or whatever it's called, I don't remember) but that only supports file transfer.
I'm a little lost. Been trying to get this thing working and Nada. I can connect for a short few seconds. Then it disconnects. From all the videos I've seen, drivers install. But not here. It says Galaxy S5. But no driver pop up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Still nothing. I've installed the newest Bluetooth drivers for My Dell PC and still. What's going on? Any ideas
Anyone?

What are you trying to do exactly? Mine connects and works great. It will only connect when it needs to for instance, when sending or receiving a file. It won't stay connected constantly. It's not like a Bluetooth speaker or anything.

well with windows 8 your able to use the pc as hands free device as well as use pc fof phone audio like streaming music.

once 8.1 hit millions of bluetooth drivers were damaged. its an obvious common problem but some say they have fixed it by installing drivers. i have the latest drivers from dell... for some reason drivers never installed on my pc for the S5. it was just there. it happened so fast. i did pair it without internet at first. but since have uninstalled an attempted to re connect so drivers will reinstall. im on the verge of picking up an external bluetooth dongle to try it out.

Hmm never knew that, I will try it out on my computer and see if it works. I do have an external dongle I can try too.
I do know that the windows drivers for the external dongles never works right so you have to download the newest from broadcom. But I lost mine so I can't try it now with Windows 8.1. Things like headphones wouldn't work without. I'm not sure if its lack of proper drivers for My Bluetooth on my Dell with Windows 8.1. Trying to find someone with an external to try. I use that every day in my car since my head unit is a dell computer.

So I think I figured it out.
It is NOT your computer. It is the phone. Either Samsung or T-Mobile tampered with the bluetooth services it is capable of. Meaning, if you try to use your phone for Bluetooth tethering, you will notice its not an option. This is because inside the /system/lib/hw folder, one of the lib files that controls Bluetooth communications with the hardware is telling other devices that is connected that only Contact Syncing and File Transfer services are available. I would attempt to flash an AOSP ROM, and check if you get any better results. If so, I may be able to hack the lib file to allow us to use more services. I remember I did this on the S4 to allow Bluetooth tethering so I hope its as easy for other services. I just need something to compare so if It works on AOSP I can compare with the lib file from there.
I do need to update the phone. Just so happy I got tethering without T-Mobile s bs telling me how much I can use. Don't wanna mess up lol.
Flashed the xtralite ROM .. Still have issues
I bought a new Bluetooth dongle. Damn 20 dollar dongle. Well it works. Not completely. Its missing the hands free portion.

Which ROM is this on?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I'm currently using the ... What is it called. Its the slimmed down ROM. Like 500mb download size and you can install what addons you wish. Before I don't know what I was on. J don't really change roms a lot if its working flawless. The new cheap dongle i just got is working fine. Enough... Lol BT stereo works nice most of the time and will bring up a media player looking window with track info even using things like I heart radio. Hands free works but I don't have an on screen dialer. Have to initiate the call with the phone. Unless I'm missing a program I could use.
