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.

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 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?
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'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.
Bluetooth issue
My Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G does not connect automatically to my paired devices like car (most important), speaker, pc, headset. I always have to connect manually, entering the Bluetooth menu and select the device and connect it.
It has the latest global rom.
Tried to sent the issue to Xiaomi, added logs, but no response from them. Searched Internet, no solution.
Anyone has a solution?
Laptop no connection
I found a solution here to connect to laptop/pc with a USB-A port and it works but...
My Asus laptop doesn't have a USB-A port only 2 USB-C ports and I cannot connect the phone here. Updated all drivers etc. but no connection.
This is frustrating since I want to transfer music this way.
Any solution would be great.
Thx for the support
