I have been trying to get my G Tablet to connect to my computers (Windows 7 x64 and OSX 10.4.11) without success. I managed to PAIR the tablet with the computers, but I can never get them to CONNECT. After I hit the connect button, nothing happens. I want to bluetooth to transfer files wirelessly, or even stream music and share internet connections.
By the way, I am running CyanogenMod 7.0.2.

I was able to send a file from my linux desktop to the gtab... the linux box sees it as a "phone" profile, which might mean it only has a limited set of bluetooth services installed.
Wanted to bring this back up as I am having the same issues, connecting with my HTC Thunderbolt. Pairs with everything, but doesn't connect. Kind of a shame when I need BT to tether. Anyone find a fix yet?
I have Parrot Asteroid in my car as of last night and i am looking for a way to share internet with it. Apparently it supports bluetooth DUN via cell phones but as far as i know the SGS2 doesn't support DUN. I have tried wifi tether for root to test but i get an error on the device. Ideally i would like to have Native DUN support for the SGS2 so when it connects via bluetooth for the voice and media it will start sharing internet without any application startup.
Also an alternative method would be USB internet sharing between the android device. This will be beneficial as it would charge the phone too. I know this is supported to a windows machine but another android device?
Well.. had a friend that was determined to use BT for connecting to his computer.. I decided to see if I could get something working (as PC companion doesn't support BT for Xperia phones)
I finally managed to get sync working under Win7 by downloading a (less than legal..) copy of Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (this seems to work on most brand computers)
and then using "my phone explorer" (client app from market) and windows app downloaded from their site.. I am now able to share files, modify phone book, view phone status, send SMS etc from the laptop via BT.. (or Wifi.. or USB)
Apparently BlueSoleil also works instead of Toshiba bluetooth Stack..I havn't tried it myself.
The process was a little funky but It worked in the end and I can connect quite easy now.
Now why the hell can't Sony Erricson just fix BT on their Android devices! its really a step backwards in reguard to conectivity. Android really sucks with BT. but you would think SE could come up with a solution... what do they pay their developers for anyway? gimmie good BT implimentation over Timescape any day!
(its hard to tell friends who have just forked out hundreds on a phone I recomended that they can't use Bluetooth anymore, like they have been doing for years with their Nokia's and old pre android Sonyericssons)
My Rant.. hope it might help someone else in any case.

Try googling. There should be solutions.
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.
