HP ENVY Phoenix 810-270st CTO Desktop -Bluetooth and Windows 8.1

I recently purchased a Phoenix 810 with Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac featuring Dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) 2 x 2 MIMO technology. when I purchased the system I used the Bluetooth to connect to external bluetooth speakers with windows 8.1. I could easily see this menu option in my network option in the control panel. Recently I tried to use the speakers but could not however they show in my system devices. I also tried to add new and discovered thar Windows is not longer showing anything with Bluetooth in the control panel.
I have downloaded latest drivers but Windows still does not recognize bluetooth in the control panel anywhere. Any idea why I could setup and pare bluetooth deviced and now I can't?

Hi,
I am running Windows 8.1 with Bluetooth and Bluetooth does not show in the Control Panel. Look for the Bluetooth icon on the task bar. See the below image.
Once you pair up and acknowledge the passcode on both devices this the following screen should appear (example).

PC Suite, Bluetooth and Windows 7 - Cannot autheni...

I had real problems getting PC Suite to connect via bluetooth to my 6300 phone. I'm using a CSR type dongle which installed via plug and play using the Microsoft drivers.
I installed PC suite and followed the instruction to "connect a phone". The phone was discovered and pairing attempted using the default 123 passkey. I entered the passkey into the phone. PC suite sat there for about 5 minutes, then came back with "Cannot authenicate phone". This was tiresomely repeatable!
After much messing about I finally got the PC suite to authenticate the phone and its all working finel. Here is what I did in case this helps anyone with the same problem:
Install PC Suite.
From the Windows Start Menu In "Devices and Printers" the bluetooth device should be visible - Mine shows "CSR Bluetooth Radio"
Check the Bluetooth settings of the device "Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer" should checked
Still in" Devices and Printers", click on "Add Device", if the Bluetooth is working correctly, this should scan bluetooth and discover the phone (make sure the phone is set to visible or discoverable).
(An alternative method is to open Control Panel, under the "Hardware and Sound, there should be "Add Bluetooth device" option under "Devices and Printers". )
Select the phone and follow the instructions and pair the PC with phone. This will involve entering the passkey generated by Windows
If successful the phone should now appear in the Devices list. I now see "Nokia 6300" as a device.
The next steps are the ones I was missing: right click on the phone device and select Properties and then the "Services" tab
Windows should access the phone device for the services offered by the bluetooth phone.
Check mark the following services:
Dial-up Networking [DUN]
Serial Port (SPP) 'COM1'
Serial Port (SPP) 'Nokia PC Suite'
and click ok
Start up PC Suite and go through the "connect phone" procedure again and it should now connect successfully.
Hope this works for you
Chris

Storm 2 9550 Bluetooth and Windows 7

I am having an issue with my new Storm 2 9550. I can get it to pair with my computer and synchronize wirelessly, but I cannot transfer anything such a pictures to my computer via bluetooth. If I look in devices and printers it shows my blackberry, but it has a large yellow exclamation point on it. When I tell it to troubleshoot, it tells me there is no driver installed for "bluetooth peripheral device." There are three instances of this in the device manager. Where can I find drivers for this? I installed the desktop manager and that did not solve the problem. I let it search for drivers and it comes up empty. Can anybody help me with this?

Many (including me) were stumped by the appearance of two bluetooth devices missing drivers in Windows 7 64-bit build 7100 following the installation of Blackberry Desktop Manager Software version 4.6 or higher.
These exclamation ! marked bluetooth peripheral devices are merely two more ports that Windows 7 can't find the drivers for (there should be FOUR total after you follow my suggestions).
Lucky for YOU, these port drivers are already present on your system (assuming you installed RIM Blackberry Desktop Manager software 4.6 or higher).
The 'trick' is to manually load the extra two PORTS by choosing from a list of drivers.
Find the 2 problem drivers-missing entries in your Bluetooth devices list, right click on the first one, choose UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE. Then choose Browse My Computer, then Let Me Pick From a List of Device Drivers. Scroll down till you see PORTS, then choose Rim Virtual Serial Port v2 and click Apply.
You'll get a warning message from windows 7, ignore this choose OK or apply and load the driver. It will report the device is set up correctly.
REPEAT this process 1 more time for the 2nd problem child bluetooth device that is missing the driver.
Then pair up your Blackberry with your laptop. Don't forget to REMOVE your laptop or PC from the blackberry list of paired bluetooth devices and then pair it all over again now that you've fixed the drivers on the pc/laptop side of things in Windows 7 by adding those two ports that were missing (assuming you're upgrading to Windows 7 and having problems where you can't sync with Outlook and your Blackberry using BLUETOOTH.
Once you've paired your Blackberry successfully, you'll need to configure Bluetooth in your connections options in Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.6 or higher.
You can then forget about plugging in the USB micro-cable and happily SYNC it with your bluetooth

IPhone 4 bluetooth and Windows 7

I am trying to connect my iPhone 4 to my windows 7 laptop. Windows 7 is saying that it cannot find a device driver for the iPhone and the iPhone says that it is not connected to the laptop.
Can anyone help?

this is probably the most common question asked here, which I found the hard way -
answer: you can't do file transfer or syncing on a PC or Mac with bluetooth, even if you install the device driver (available from broadcom.com). only tethering and audio controls via BT

IPhone Bluetooth and Windows 7 Pairing

I have a 3G iPhone. I could pair it with my Dell Windows XP laptop, using Motorola H350 plugged into one of the USB ports (my laptop did not have Bluetooth capability). I still have that laptop and it still works.
Now I am also trying to pair my iPhone with a Toshiba laptop (Windows 7 64bit). They recognize each other, I am assigned a pairing code (same number shows both on the laptop Bluetooth screen and iPhone). I click the Pair option on the iPhone and the two devices are paired. However, when trying to connect the two devices, iPhone gives "..... "my computer's name" not supported" error message.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes, BluePhoneElite is the software I use to control the handsfree service on OSX: http://mirasoftware.com/BPE2/. If you pair with OSX look under Blue Tooth Preferences and you can see Handsfree Gateway listed under services.

You need to buy a BlueTooth USB "dongle". It's a tiny device that plugs into a USB port on your computer that has a BlueTooth radio inside of it.

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

IPhone and Windows 7 Bluetooth profiles

Just picked up the iPhone 4 last week and paired with my Windows 7 HP. No problems pairing but was surprised that there were only two bluetooth profiles enabled. I was expecting to also see the profile for OBEX to copy JPEG photos to and from the laptop. And I was expecting to see the AV profiles so that I can access music on the device from the laptop. I had both of these features on the Moto I replaced this with.
Anyone else paired up with Windows and bluetooth and seeing more than just wireless iAP and remote control under the BT profile services available from Windows? That's all I'm getting which is way less than my buddy with AT&T iPhone gets on his Windows 7 desktop and bluetooth.

The iphone 4 has limited bluetooth support. Check out this link for full details.

Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver failure in Windows Vista and Windows 7 (solved)

I had problems setting up Bluetooth HotSync. Following the directions for pairing the device resulted in a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" missing driver in Device Manager. I finally figured out how to setup HotSync and am able to sync over Bluetooth to Windows 7 64-bit.
On the PC
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon and select Show Bluetooth Devices
Delete the Palm Phone
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon again and select Bluetooth settings
Turn Discovery on for the PC
On the Palm Device
Select Bluetooth
Turn Bluetooth On
Set Visibility to Hidden (if desired)
Select Setup Devices on the Bluetooth screen
Select HotSync Setup
Click Next
Select your PC
This is the important part: Click Next 3 times (don't do what the screens tell you -- just click Next, Next, Next)
Click Launch HotSync
Viola!
On the PC
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon again and select Bluetooth settings
Turn Discovery off for the PC (if desired)

I am having the same problem with a new RocketFish Bluetooth adapter. I did NOT have this problem when I was using a Kensington USB Bluetooth adapter. One big difference that I notice between the two adapters is that the Kensington adapter came with an updated version of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software which contained its own DUN drivers. However, the new RocketFish Bluetooth 2.0 EDR USB adapter does not seem to work with the Toshibal BT Stack.
Maybe this helps. Maybe it doesn't. Either way, I don't care. It's how I roll. I'm a smart ass.
I will check back for any additions to this thread. I hope we can figure it out! I will also post more Prose of Indifference.

Hotsyncing a palm centro using a bluetooth adapter and windows vista 64 bit

Please help. I have read and followed all of the other suggestions on this forum and nothing has worked.
I have a palm treo. When I try to hotsync using the bluetooth adapter, it gives me a message stating:
"unable to connect,port is being used by another application".
I have rebooted, soft reset, etc. and still get the same message.
I do not know how to set up another port on the windows vista program. That was one suggestion.
I have selected both bluetooth and serial port under the hot sync manager.
Nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection. Either Bluetooth or Infra Red. The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red. You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

Updated to Windows 8.1, Having Problems with Touchscreen, Bluetooth, and Mouse

So, I'm having a few problems that I've tried googling and even looking through all these threads about the same problems but I can't seem to find someone (HP tech OR User) with a solution.
I have a few problems:
1) Touchscreen doesn't work anymore
2) Mouse pointer does not appear on screen anymore (It's not "invisible" it's just completely not there)
3) Bluetooth file transfer from my phone (Galaxy Note 3) to laptop and vice versa does NOT work
There are also a few things that I've already tried:
1) Hardware and Software troubleshoot
2) Updating drivers
3) Removing and re-installing programs (Synaptic)
4) Connecting to a mouse (which solves the mouse problem, but when disconnected, the moust pointer is stuck where it was last pointing)
5) Restarting the laptop (multiple times into different modes)
My laptop is the HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k025dx Sleekbook (Energy Star)
And I've only had the laptop for a few months. EVERYTHING was GREAT until I updated the stupid Windows 8.1 update. I've been sitting here for a good week now trying to figure out a way to fix this. Really about to throw this out the window.
PLEASEEEE AND THANK YOU!
