I have Nexus 32GB, 3G . Up to the last week, was using Windows 7 and the bluetooth connection was ok. Now I've installed Windows 8 on my PC, connected again via bluetooth, but then strange things started to happen:
- No audio from my PC, the audio device was switched to a bluetooth headphones (never connected something similar to that PC!)
- I couldn't switch on the nexus screen. First I was scared that also mine is from the defective ones (read all about it in the net ), but after a restart, was ok. Yesterday i was listening music on the nexus and the screen went off. Was not possible to switch it on, but the music continued playing. Removing the Nexus from the bluetooth devices in my PC made the screen switch on again.
Where am I doing it wrong? No settings available in the nexus for the paired device (only change name and disconnect) and couldn't find which services are running for the paired device in win 8.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there,
I always synced my phone bluetooth with my laptop (Windows 7 x64)
My laptop is bluetooth visible and devices are allowed to connect.
my phone sees my laptop, and me laptop sees my phone
when i bluetooth connect them it seems to go ok, but in the Windows device manager from my laptop it says cannot find drivers.
Strange because i downloaded the latest windows mobile center
I have an unknown bluetooth periphal device in the device manager
USB connection does work properly and the sync! i also can reach my 8Gb SD in my computer
Cheers!
I removed the initial question about the bluetooth connection with my carkit.
The initial question is a problem of my car, don't ask why but i tested bluetooth integrated carkit with a other phone and it also does not work properly so something in the wiring of my car is stuck and is not for this forum. First it DID work with the other phone
I cannot find how to change the thread type to "Bluetooth connection with WIndows 7"
nobody has problems with windows 7 drivers?
Have my shiny new HTC HD2 in my hand as of yesterday - stunning device so far but I am unsure what I should expect from the bluetooth link behavior with ActiveSync/Mobile Device Manager.
I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64bit on a laptop with BT built in on latest drivers etc.
My old Nokia handset would connect with the laptop quickly when in range - I then had to choose to sync the calendar, notes etc from the Nokia sync software.
The HD2 will let me connect to ActiveSync without problem, but each time I have to do this manually. If I walk out of range or shutdown the laptop etc, the bluetooth link is not re-established until I choose ActiveSync on the HD2 and choose connect to laptop.
Is this expected behavior? I had hoped the HD2 would connect automatically to the laptop when in range?
It seems to link fine with my in car bluetooth, though if the HD2 is locked when the car bluetooth turns on (e.g. when starting the car), I need to unlock the HD2 before it will automatically connect?
Can't find any settings that appear directly relevant - where I can it is all set to allow connections, start automatically etc.
Advice welcome!
Feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall! I have a dell vostrol 1220 (with windows 7 home premium) and I managed to connect my Touch HD to the computer with bluetooth with no problems at all. I could use the computer to listen to music from the phone etc. However the hard drive went on my dell and was replaced. I have installed all the necessary drivers and spent days looking at internet forums and tried just about everything and can still not get the connection to work as before.
It seems that the problem is that the computer cannot download a peripheral device driver for the phone. My guess is that the computer is not picking up the full phone settings (all the phone is visible) and so can then not find a suitable driver, although I might be wrong.
Anyone got any ideas, this is so frustating as it used to work ok.
Hey guys, have anyone here tried to pair (by bluetooth) a Windows Phone to a computer with W8 Release Preview installed?
Today I paired my Lumia 710 with the Win8 RP, and it recognized the phone not only as an ordinary WinPhone, but as a bluetooth headset too, or other kind of bluetooth audio device, unlike Win7 does. The phone also shows that a device (in this case, the pc w/ Win8) is connected, but nothing else.
It's a weird thing. Is it supposed to stream audio from pc to phone, or other unknow feature?
Thanks.
similar problem here. Trying to send files from my HTC HD2 WP7 to my Samsung series 7. Windows 8 sees the phone and asks for pass code, then says its "mated", but when i try to copy pictures between them, nothing.
Same problem with the bluetooth GPS reciever i have for Garmin Mobile PC. Garmin and Windows 8 can see the BT-GPS device, but Garmin can never get a saterlite fix. Always gets stuck saying "Searching for Saterlites"
Any ideas or just wait until real Windows 8 is out?
As I know, bluetooth in Windows Phone 7 is just for headsets. Probably you can pair with PC but you can use only as a headset (I don't try)
But Windows Phone 8 will drop this restriction :good:

Hello,
I originally posted this over on the WP8 forums, but I still haven't been able to figure this out. Maybe someone here has the solution.
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 hands free device.
My eventual plan is to mount my Dell Venue 8 Pro in my car as a carpc, so I would like to figure this out somehow. I've tried disabling the Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator, and strictly use the Intel Bluetooth 4.0 adapter, but still, the same thing happens. I can't even stream music from my phone.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin
I should also mention that I've tried connecting an android phone with the same outcome
The connection drops because nobody uses it. As soon as some app open a socket between the phone and tablet, the connection will pop up again. This is the default behavior of bluetooth. The devices are first paired, and connection is opened only after something needs it.
