Bluetooth is always red

Hi guys,
I have a Lenovo S10-2. Recently, my bluetooth is always red. When I right click the bluetooth icon, only "Bluetooth Contiguration" and "Start the Bluetooth Device" are active. Nothing happens after I click "Bluetooth Contiguration". After I click "Start the Bluetooth Device", it says "Bluetooth license check failed. Please make sure that the Bluetooth device is plugged in/turned on, the device you are using is licensed for this software and that your license has not expired."
Does any one know what to do with it? I really appreciate your help.
Reb

michvill,
If reinstalling BlueTooth drivers did not help try doing a One Key Recovery - Restore Factory Default (Do save all your files before doing this).

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

Quicklaunge buttons on my HP Pavilion dv7-2260ed not working and always red

The quicklaungebuttons (Mute, Volume, cd options and wireless) on my HP Pavilion dv7-2260ed stopped working and are always red. This happend 3 weeks ago. I runned the HP assistent but no errors were found. Any help is welcome

Hi, I have more or less exactly the same problem.
I own a pavilion dv7 1090eb, which originally had Vista 32bit on it, but I updated to Windows 7 32bit more than a year ago,
not long after 7 was released. Ever since that update (or a few days after, I don't really remember) I've been having problems with the quick launch buttons.
For over a year it was just my mute button that was always orange. I could still mute my sound, but when not muted, it sounded like it was really filtered, all the low and the high were gone, only low mid sounds remained.
My jack exits, both of them, however, still work fine, and I have good audio through external speakers, so I kind of solved that.
But still, the laptop itself has great sound, so I should be able to get that without having to carry around external speakers wherever I go.
Oh and I used to have the same problem with Vista from time to time, but after rebooting it would just go back to normal.
But now just today, I left my laptop on for about 2 hours for some image rendering while I was away, and I switched the wifi off, which I usually do when I leave my laptop unattended. But when I came back, it wouldn't turn back on again, and none of the quick launch buttons worked anymore.
I tried reinstalling all drivers after I did some troubleshooting options which didn't work.
Turned it off and on again a couple of times.
Then found this thread and installed the above link, rebooted, still doesn't work.
What now? What can I do to resolve this problem?
I really hope I can get a solution for this.

How come when i use skype on my ipad air, it keeps dropping out? My bluetooth is always turned off also

So i have an ipad air and during the past month or so, the amount of dropouts when using skype has skyrocketed to at least 3 or more dropouts a day. It can't be my internet because whenever it disconnects i go to chrome to check if my internet is working. I've looked on a few websites and so far the only solution was to turn off the bluetooth. But the thing is, my bluetooth is always turned off.
Is there something i can do about this?

Hi geminigay,
You state that your music plays at random times even if it isn't open. Also your earbuds are plugged in most of the time.
Does this happen if the earbuds are not connected?
Are your earbuds the ones with the remote and mic?. If so, they can start the music playing even if the Music app is not running.
Use an Apple headset - iPhone
The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic (iPhone 5 or later) and the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic (iPhone 4s) feature a microphone, volume buttons, and the center button, which lets you answer and end calls or control audio and video playback, even when iPhone is locked.
Use the center button to control music playback.
Pause a song or video: Press the center button. Press again to resume playback.
Note that applies to the iPad as well.
See if the remote is being activated.
Regards,
Nubz

HT4111 while using my aftermarket (Brookstone) IPAD 2 key board the circular search icon never stops moving (setting tab, "Bluetooth" connect)...is that because the Bluetooth is always in the "search" mode while the keypad is in use?

This is the same experience I see with both my iPad and iPhone. Doesn't seem to cause battery drain, so I just don't worry about it. My bluetooth devices work and if yours do as well, just don't worry about it.

How to make Macbook bluetooth not always discoverable.

I'm running Yosemite on a Macbook Pro, I use bluetooth devices so need to keep bluetooth on, but don't want it to always be discoverable by other devices. My Macbook Pro, (which is named as my full name), shows up to anyone close by with a bluetooth device. No bueno.

Do you live in a set of flats or high-density housing? No one really uses bluetooth unless you know you've got nerds/computer experts in adjacent rooms.
If you're in a house you really don't have to worry about a thing as practical bluetooth range is only about 15feet or 4meters.
Solutions:
Change your Mac's name (System Preferences > Sharing) to anything you want. I personally recommend names like NSA Surveillance, Mordor, Captain Kirk, Tardis, Jarvis, Skynet Server, HAL, etc.
Turn bluetooth off when you don't need it.
FYI, when two bluetooth devices are connected, the device is no longer in discoverable mode.
Also, when you close the system preferences window (settings on the iPhone) The device exits discovery mode.

Bluetooth icon always blue

I've just noticed, the last few days, that my Bluetooth icon is always blue, as if it's connected.
If I go into Settings > General > Bluetooth, I can see my 3 devices listed, and all say Not Connected (which is what I'd expect considering all 3 of them are about 8 miles away from me just now!)
If I turn bluetooth and/or airplane mode off then back on, the icon just goes blue again.
I'm not bothered if it's just a colour issue, but I'm worried it's gonna drain more battery life.

It certainly should not be blue unless connected to a device, it can drain battery faster if it thinks it's connected to a device...have you tried a hard reset?
Hold the sleep and home buttons until you see a white apple symbol against a black screen, then let go

4 questions: at login black rectangular box, appears and speaks- 2 annoying black box over text- 3 bluetooth doesnt always pick up keyboard/mouse at login- 4 dock disappears and reappears at will

Here we go,
1) at login a black rectangular box with white text appears and voice over seems to be on (even though its switched off)
2) after login an annoying black square surrounds the cursor
3) upon waking computer from sleep the bluetooth doesn't pair with the keyboard or mouse (I usually just power them both off and then back on and this seems to work)
4) the dock disappears and reappears on its own even though "hide the dock" is not checked
iMac running Lion
Thanks for any help!

In the login screen, press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver.

Bluetooth message always pops up

Hi,
I installed the Bluetooth 2.0 update on my Mac Pro 2.26 Nehalem Mac and now every time I boot up the Mac Pro, the message "Your computer's Bluetooth Firmware is up-to-date" appears.
How do I get rid of it?
Thanks!

I did.
Go to System Preferences, click on Accounts, click on Login Items and check (Hide) Bluetooth. I'm not using any Bluetooth devices, so I just removed it instead.

Adapter Light Always Red, Battery Charge Never Gets Past 99%

Hi.
My 2007 MacBook Pro's adapter is now showing only the orange/red light and never getting green. Also, the taskbar never shows 100% battery charge when the adapter is plugged in, but it does when you first remove the adapter.
My battery life is pretty short nowadays (never more than 45 to 60 minutes) and it's getting pretty hot near where the adapter connects. My fans seem to be running a lot more than usual, too.
Any ideas?

Do non-OEM batteries exist?
"Third-party" may be the better-understood term (I get "OEM" but others may not). Yes, there are some out there. However, one key item makes me nervous about them.
Other World Computing (OWC) sells an amazing number of Mac add-ons and replacement parts. It's my personal experience that they give excellent service after the sale, standing behind what they sell. OWC carries third-party batteries for Mac portables going back to the G3 Wallstreet, but they do not list any MBP batteries. This makes me think that they don't have confidence in what's out there.
Here is a site listing third-party MBP batteries (scroll down a bit):
http://www.global-batteries.com/index.php/cPath/1_12/sort/2a/page/1
Note that the prices aren't much less that what Apple charges, especially for the 17: model. I ordered a battery for a Wallstreet PowerBook from that vendor and it was identical to an Apple-branded battery yin every way except the sticker on it. It was a good battery, but I have no way of knowing if their MBP batteries are from the same vendor as the Wallstreet batteries.

Paired,trusted Bluetooth device - always asks for PIN

Hi guys,
I'm working on application that needs to connect to Bluetooth device (Zephyr HxM - it's a heart rate monitor) using SPP profile (this is the only profile that device supports). First I go into Bluetooth setting, I search for the device, add it, pair (enter PIN...). After that I set it as trusted (Trusted = Yes).
Inside my application I use BluetoothSerialPort classes to connect to device and read incoming data. This works perfectly fine. The problem is, every time I open a connection (so this happens once per application launch), BB prompts me to enter PIN and pairs the device. This happens every single time, despite the fact that I paired the device before and set it as trusted. If I pair Bluetooth headset - everything works fine. Am I missing something, or is this expected behavior. Could anyone advice?
Thanks and have a happy new year,
michal

Hello bfrasure,
It is very convenient to be able to use the trusted devices feature on your previous phone. This is a software for Motorola devices to allow the phone connect to trusted Bluetooth devices. At this time, this is not available with the iPhone, however, there may be third party applications that function similar to the trusted devices feature. If you decide to download a third party application, please be sure to read reviews to understand how it may affect your device.

T42 Bluetooth Issue - always off after sleep

Whenever I resume my ThinkPad T42 from sleep/standby the bluetooth radio is off and I have to go into ThinkVantage Access Connections to turn it back on before I can use my bluetooth mouse. All my IBM/Lenovo drivers are up-to-date, and I have tried turning off and back on the wireless radios in the BIOS. Anyone have any other suggestions on how I can lift the lid of my laptop and have the bluetooth radio already on and ready for use? Thanks!
Solved!

What about the Bluetooth-state after shutting down the computer and turning it on?
Is BT then disabled, too?
In that case remove the BIOS-battery for a few minutes. After that the factory-default settings with enabled BT should be active.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.
