Bluetooth issue on HP Stream 7 Tablet - 5709 (Windows 8.1 with Bing)

I just bought a HP Stream 7 Tablet - 5709. When I navigate to 'Manage Bluetooth Devices' all the available devices come as 'Unknown' instead of coming with their name. For example I have a LG Headset which is named "LG HBS700" and I expect to see that name in the available devices so that I can connect to that.
But all I see is 4 to 5 'Unknown' with a message underneath 'Ready to pair' and I am not able to decipher what those devices are. Even if I click on them nothing gets connected.
I appreciate some help in this regard.
Thanks
Vin

I appreciate if some one can give me some pointers on this.

Windows 8.1 with Bing - Images partition

Hello,
I have a HP Stream 11 installed with Windows 8.1 with BING.
Trying to free up disk space I have deleted the Recovery-partition, or what I thought was just a recovery partition. It actually has the name "images" and deleting it immediately broke my system.
I have tried to repair it using an UBUNTU Live CD and using the tool "TestDisk". After a reboot I get the message that there is no OS found on my hard disk. Trying to mount the volume in the UBUNTU environment also fails.
Does someone know how to repair this? I would be extremely thankful!!

Thanks.
I have downloaded Windows 10 instead, and I am amazed!! Don't want to go back to 8.1 anymore now :p XD.

Download windows 8.1 with bing

hi guys!
I installed the windows 10 TP on my HP stream 7, but it didn't work...so I reinstalled the OS (windows 8.1) with a bootable usb because the rollback to the previous build didn't work, too.
can I reinstall the original version of windows 8.1 with bing? I've the product key, but it's invalid with windows 8.1!

It will work but this device is tested with Win8.1 W/BING ML 32 WIMBoot.

Windows 8.1 With Bing or Windows 8.1 Core To Pro Volume License?

If we buy laptops with Windows 8.1 With Bing or 8.1 Core, what is the path to get Windows 8.1 Pro volume licensing so we can join them to domains and create a common MDT deployment image?
Do we buy a Pro Pack license for each system and then use the Pro Pack upgrade to 8.1 Pro upgrade license for eligibility to purchase 8.1 Professional volume licensing or is there an easier path?

I'm going to try to restate the main parts of the question more clearly.
We are buying some laptops where the vendor does not offer a configuration choice of Windows 8.1 Pro. Normally, we order laptops with Windows Professional preinstalled, but, for these specific models, since they are consumer-oriented laptops, you cannot
purchase this model with 8.1 Pro licensing from the vendor. We will have to purchase them with 8.1 With Bing preloaded from the factory.
We will be using our own custom image of 8.1 Pro when we deploy the laptops to users.
Since Windows 8.1 With Bing and Windows 8.1 Core in general is not an eligible OS for purchasing volume licensed 8.1 Pro, we need to, somehow, get these systems licensed for 8.1 Pro before we can buy 8.1 Pro VL.
How can we do this? Do we buy 8.1 Pro Packs ($99 each)? Do we have to buy the full retail edition of 8.1 Pro for each laptop ($199 each) and use these for VL upgrade eligibility? Can we purchase the 8.1 With Bing to 8.1 Pro upgrade directly
through the Volume Licensing Program?
What is the best we to do this for cost per machine and for convenience implementing?

Windows 8.1 with bing : restrictions

You should be able to do local policies on these, but you would have to manage them as individual local policies.
They should also support Windows 10, and if you are feeling the challenge, and have the licenses, you can try to upgrade the license to pro so you can use them on the domain fully. But this is your choice to try it. Some are not supported others will work just fine.

Is it possible to put restrictions in place on "windows 8.1 with bing" similar to those available via GPO using local policies, file permission changes or registry changes? We're evaluating low end PCs for a project where the end users only ever use a couple of pieces of software (internal app and VOIP phone), we just need to lock down the desktop and remove the "confusion" of the 8.1 metro launcher. The PCs are the HP 260 G1 model and are ideal in size, cost and performance apart from the version of windows not allowing us to roll forward the limited restrictions we have on the XP machines we are trying to replace...

Windows 8.1 with Bing

I have a customers laptop in the shop where I work. The customer has a bad HDD and I replaced it and reloaded windows 8.1 not realizing it was 8.1 with Bing. Is there a way I can downgrade it or re-install 8.1 with bing? I'd like to get the system back to
the customer before the long holiday weekend but I fear that I'm going to have to wait weeks for recovery discs from Toshiba.
Thanks

Windows 8.1 with Bing ISO

Hi,
I need to replace Windows 8.1 with Bing x64 for the x86 version in order to use some old apps.
I tried to use mediacreationtool to download the setup, but it does not have the "with Bing" edition.
Where can I download the x86 ISO for this edition ?
Thanks.

the "with Bing" edition is only available to OEM's. If you need installation media for an OEM version of Windows, you should contact your vendor/OEM/manufacturer

Windows 8.1 with Bing limitations?

Hi
The new Windows 8.1 with Bing has some limitations about default search providers and start page and are only available for OEM manufactures. Other than that is there any limitations on Windows 8.1 with Bing or is it the same as Windows
8.1 standard editions?
So far I have not been able to find any limitations myself.
Thomas | MCP | http://www.techwork.dk

Hi Thomas,
There is no any limitation between OEM bing search and Retail Edition.
You could take full advantage of it either in OEM Windows 8.1 or Retail Windows 8.1.

HP Stream tablet 8 (windows 8) slow wifi

wifi download speed decreases rapidly with distance from router-more than smart phone and laptop-even though I still get signal. Even worse when bluetooth is used to connect physical keyboard. Is there a fix? Could something else also be draining wifi? I tried a Cisco usb adapter that works well with my desktop, but it didn't help with this device. Any suggestions?

Hey ,
Welcome to the HP forums. Try the suggestions in the following guide and let me know if they help: Common fixes for wireless connectivity issues. Thanks.

Windows 10 fresh installation on the HP Stream tablet

I performed a fresh installation of Windows 10 on my Stream 7 tablet and it worked well. I posted the procedures I used below in case it may be able to help someone. One warning is that you have to first upgrade the original Windows 8.1 with Bing installation in-place letting Windows 10 activate before wiping the disk clean and installing Windows 10 fresh. If you do not do this, Windows 10 will not activate when it is installed fresh. If Windows 10 tells you that you do not have enough room to upgrade, you may have to restore the tablet back to the factory configuration using the recovery media. Other reports indicate you can also complete the upgrade by pointing to an external drive. If you recover, you will not need to apply any Windows 8.1 updates after the recovery, you can update to Windows 10 directly from the USB immediately after the tablet is restored to the factory configuration. First make a recovery USB of your existing Windows 8.1 with Bing installation. Download the Windows 10 32-bit ISO file and burn it to a USB drive. Updating Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on the HP Stream Tablet
- With Windows 8.1 running, start the setup program from the Windows 10 USB drive.
- When it prompts "Get Important Updates?" select "Not Right Now".
- Accept the license agreement
- When it prompted me to "Change What To Keep" I selected "Nothing".
- Click the Install button, the upgrade took 30 minutes on my Stream 7.
- When the upgrade finishes, add a WiFi connection and go to the Start button => System and make sure it says "Windows is Activated". You can stop here if you have enough disk space and do not want to do the fresh install. The 5.2 GB Recovery partition from Windows 8.1 can also be deleted now since Windows 10 creates its own 450 MB recovery partition for WIMBoot. Unfortunately it seems the C: drive cannot be extended to include the 5.2 GB of space so an additional drive letter (such as "D:") will need to be created to utilize it. Deleting the 5.2 GB Windows 8.1 recovery partition (only do this if have upgraded to Windows 10)
- Attach a OTG adapter, powered USB hub, USB drive containing the 32-bit Windows 10 ISO, mouse and keyboard.
- Press F9 on the keyboard as the tablet powers up to enter the boot menu.
- Select the USB drive to boot from.
- Select "Install Now"
- Select "skip product key"
- Accept the license terms
- Select: "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)"
- Delete the Drive 0 Partition 5: IMAGES 5.2 GB Recovery partition.
- Do not delete the Drive 0 Partition 4 450 MB Recovery partition, Windows 10 created this for WIMBoot and it will not boot without it. If you want to do a fresh Windows 10 install, you can also wipe the drive completely clean at this point. This will provide the greatest amount of available disk space for the C: drive (21.1 GB free of 28.5 GB following the fresh install). Fresh installation of Windows 10 on the HP Stream tablet
- Make sure Windows 10 has already been upgraded from Windows 8.1 and is activated.
- Attach a OTG adapter, powered USB hub, USB drive containing the 32-bit Windows 10 ISO, mouse and keyboard.
- Press F9 on the keyboard as the tablet powers up to enter the boot menu.
- Select the USB drive to boot from.
- Select "Install Now"
- Select "skip product key"
- Accept the license terms
- Select: "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)"
- Delete all partitions
- Click the Next button, the install will take around 30 minutes.
- When prompted for a product key, select "do this later".
- Add a WiFi connection.
- Answer the prompts about sending data to Microsoft, I answered no to all of these.
- For some unknown reason, I was prompted to repeat the above two or three steps again here.
- When Windows boots for the first time, right click the Start Button => System and check that it says "Windows is Activated". The RTL8723BS WiFi driver is already installed after a fresh installation but the other five drivers needed for the Stream 7, (Driver Pack, Bluetooth, Realtek audio, Goodix touchscreen and Kionix motion sensor) have to be installed from the Windows 8.1 drivers available from hp.com. The Stream 8 may have additional drivers needed. The drivers site on hp.com for the Stream tablet has been going up and down periodically since the tablet was introduced so you might want to download the dirvers first and copy them to the Windows 10 USB before attempting the installation.

Hve you had any problems with the side swipe gestures to open app switcher and action center after installing the Goodix drivers?After upgrading to Windows 10, everything worked great, but after a system reset, I have not been able to get the side swipe gestures and the start button to work at the same time.After the reset is finnished and before installing any HP drivers, side swipe gestures works without problems, but the start button is disabled. Then I installed all Windows 10 drivers from HP.com, except the Googix-driver. Nothing changes.After I install the goodix driver, the start button is working, but side swipe gestures no loger works.I have tried to reset the device several times, with the same result each time.

Stream 7 and Windows with Bing window sizing on desktop

I really like the HP Stream 7 but the Windows 8.1 with Bing version of windows has a really irritating behavior on the small tablets it won't keep the size and position settings of many applications on the desktop. IE always opens full screen same with Windows Explorer and if you resize or position it the next time you open it it is back to full screen. This is the same behavior on the Streak 7, Toshiba Encore Mini or Encore 2 8 inch, Insignia 8 inch and may be the behavior of all the smaller tablets with Windows with Bing. The Toshiba Encore 2 10 inch behaves normally maintaining the window settings between launches, as did the 8 inch tablets running Windows 8.0 and 8.1 versions prior to Windows with Bing.
Can anyone suggest how to correct this on the small tablets with Windows with Bing

You are not wrong, a simple file explorer test resulted in my desktop remembering the windowed position instantly, while my tablet full screened itself every single time. Windows may tell itself to function a little differently as a tablet, the far majority of people would prefer windows to open maximised on a small tablet screen. In your case, the only reason you want it not to is because you are using a case that is not designed (or badly designed) for the stream 7.
I haven't found any reasonably affordable cases for the Stream 7 that offer full access to the screen there will probably be cases in the future that will. I also picked up an toshiba encore 2 8 and that has a case that offers a fully exposed screen the Windows with Bing behavior is less of an annoyance but still an issue. This is not so much an HP, Toshiba or any manufacture issue as a Microsoft error. 8 and 10 inch tablets with Windows 8.0 and 8.1 didn't behave this way. I would like to find a "switch/setting" to correct this. I use my Windows tablets more then half the time in desktop mode and it is a pain to have the new version of the OS take a step backward in usability I can't remember the version of Windows that didn't support size/position retention, Win 3?.
Just checked Amazon and they now have a couple cases that provide full screen access so I ordered one.
But that still leaves me looking for the setting that makes the Windows with Bing tablets behave like the tablets with other versions of Windows 8.1 with respect to retaining window size and aspect

Yoga tablet 2 windows 8.1 miracast issue

hi all, i seems unable to connect to my LG smartTV from the Yoga Tablet 2 Windows 8.1 by Miracast, it always prompt unable to connect... anyone have the same issue? many thanks. brgds/fred

Paputo- Running powercfg /a on my Yoga Tablet 2-1051 yields "The following sleeps states are available on this system: Standby (Connected)" which suggest to me that it is supported. It doesn't mention Hibernate and Fast Start being available though. Hope this helps.

IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

Ok here is my findings:
Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
(note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well. Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
Good luck.

How do I connect an external bluetooth keyboard to my stream 7

I purchased a stream 7 a couple of months ago. connected an external bluetooth keyboard to it. now the external keyboard will not connect. When I search for bluetooth devices, nothing shows up. sometimes the stream 7 will pick up my fire on the other side of the house but not the keyboard that is right beside it. Is there a setting that I have wrong?

Hello kutou, There could be one of several things wrong for the bluetooth keyboard to not be recognized.It could be the bluetooth drivers need reinstalling or there could be something wrong with the keyboard itself.You did check for bad batteries I assume? Here is a link to some troubleshooting info from Microsoft that you could try first.Troubleshoot problems with Bluetooth enabled devices If that does not work, here is a video on how to uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth driver.▶ How To Fix Bluetooth Not Working In Windows 8.1 - YouTube Here is the download for the bluetooth driver if needed.Its the same for the Stream 7 5701 and 5709 models.http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp70001-70500/sp70340.exe Let me know how it turns out.
