Bluetooth toggle in Windows 8.1

Hi everyone,
I recently installed Windows 8.1 to my Probook 4530s. Installed all the necessary drivers and everything but the Bluetooth works as it should. The problem is, if I turn Bluetooth off via the Windows 8 control panel, it disappears completely. The Windows 8 toggle virtually disables the Bluetooth completely and the only way thus far I've seen to turn it back on is via the device manager. When disabled, the Bluetooth section of the control panel disappears completely and the icon vanishes from the notification area. Is this intended behaviour? If not how do I fix this.
I've installed the driver via HP's site. Oddly enough, when installing the driver it unpacks and gives no further feedback. The Bluetooth icon simply appears in the taskbar.

Hi:
If your model uses a Ralink wireless card, see if installing this bluetooth driver works.

Unable to update Thinkpad Bluetooth SW on Windows 7, 6.2.1.1401 update dated 22 June 2010

Can anyone help me update my Bluetooth SW for Windows 7 32-bit? I tried to load Lenovo's latest software update from their website and receive a Windows 7 1935 error message: an error occurred during installation of assembly. Phone support is Atlanta was not able to help stating the two options I have are the Lenovo download that did not work, or using my ThinkVantange System Update Tool that will not update to this version. My current bluetooth SW driver version is for 2008 when I had Vista OS. I basically am trying to get a bluetooth headset (Motorola H17txt) to work with my computer. It pairs, but does not even function as a headset. The bluetooth headset functions properly on my other laptop using Windows XP. Thanks, Jeff

What version of Bluetooth software do you currently have installed?
Did you try uninstalling the Bluetooth software before installing the newer version?

Bluetooth Disappears in Windows 7

Hello. I have recently noticed that bluetooth is no longer available in Windows 7. When I first installed Windows 2 months ago everything was working perfectly. However, now bluetooth is no longer available in the bottom right corner of the desktop, in devices, and in device manager. This happened once before and the only way I could fix it was to delete my Boot Camp partition and start over. I have tried reinstalling the Boot Camp drivers from the Mac OS X Install Disc that came with my Macbook Pro (the computer I am having trouble with). Everything still works as it should under Lion. Thank you so much, your help will be greatly appreciated.

i'm getting a different problem with my bluetooth.
currently running Windows 7 on Sony Vaio NS30e, and I can pair the phone...the usb dongle works, however, when transferring music files wirelessly it stops at anything under 30%. I have tried uninstalling the bluetooth drivers and installing others but to no avail...i get the same hanging problem.
I can transfer photos no problem, click to send via bluetooth on laptop, set the phone to receive but no luck with music files.
any help is much appreciated. (also posted in Curve 8900 section)

In Windows 8.1 Bluetooth Not Working

Hi @iamvinod34 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion g6-1318ax Notebook and needing help with Bluetooth. Here is a link to fixing Bluetooth issues.
If that does not help try looking at the section in this document Labeled: Make sure that wireless communication is turned on. Sometimes just turning on and off the Bluetooth helps.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system. If an updated is needed this could cause this issue.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Bluetooth quality in Windows 7

I bought a Plantronics Voyager 835 bluetooth headset to use with Skype.
In OS X 10.6 the sound quality is quite good. In Windows 7 (latest updates) it's terrible.
The Windows control panel is showing the device driver as CSR plc 5.0.14.0.
Is there a different driver I should try? Any other advice on how to improve the sound quality>
Thanks.

Bluetooth stick for Windows Vista

Bluetooth connection to Windows Vista

I tried to connect the iphone 3 G S via bluetooth to my windows Vista Laptop, for wireless sync. On the driver install, one bluetooth part>> bluetooth periphal device << can not be installed<<<. No update is avaialable from Windows. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The iPhone does not support anything higher than A2DP headset protocol (cellular to headset). It does not support BT<->PC protocol or BT<->Car/GPS Device Bluetooth Protocols.
Some phones do have this protocol from more popular brands like Sony Erricson or Motorola cellulars. You can use TomTom's "What phones can be supported with my GPS device?" section that has a list of phones that can do traffic report data streaming and phone contact lookup with voice control.

Problems Connecting Apple Bluetooth Devices in Windows using BootCamp

People are having trouble connecting bluetooth devices in windows 7 while using bootcamp. I solved the problem by clicking on bluetooth>ADD A DEVICE once windows has detected the bluetooth device you want to add. Now, right click on the device you are adding (make sure it's "inside the add bluetooth
Device window "see below" ) it will say "select your device". Then tick the box beside "drivers for Keyboard, Mice etc.," under "Bluetooth Services" (see below) and it will search the internet for your drivers and automatically install them. If you have any problems post a message. Good Luck

Not sure if you can help me, but I can't add my phone or some bt speakers to my MBA2011 in bootcamp. Drivers can't be found...and this is usually a problem of the bt controller drivers, not the device.
It does seem the apple bt drivers are gimped in bootcamp.

No. It does not work for me.
But if you are willing to remove all your apps/programs it may work according to this post:

Still problems with Toshiba Bluetooth Adapter under Windows 7

Hey there, it's me once again.
I refer to my thread "Bluetooth Problem under Windows 7":
I thought after the solution from bluecat my problem was solved. But it's not really.
After installing the Windows Hotfix, it worked just shortly. But now the problem is the same.
When I delete the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and try to work with the Windows Bluetooth Manager, I see, that the Bluetooth icon is coming an going on the task bar. In device manager I said Windows, that it doesn't shut down the device to save energy. But I think the device is turned on and off and on and off...
I really have absolutely no idea what the problem is, but I am becoming terribly angry.
Details:
Windows 7
Dell Wireless Bluetooth Internal Adapter 350 (but it's made by Toshiba)
Drivers tried out: Vista Profile Pack from Dell Homepage (no stack installed, just driver) / Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (the latest version)
This is the old Thread:
Dear all
Just as I installed Windows 7, my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard don't work fine.
I use the Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Internal Adapter, Logitech MX1000 mouse and keyboard and Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 8.00.02.
To connect the devices with my Computer, I firstly must disconnect the Bluetooth adapter by pushing Fn + F2 on my Dell i9400, after re-connecting I can search and connect the devices correctly. They work fine as long as the notebook is running.
After rebooting the notebook, the devices don't work anymore. They are still listed in Bluetooth Stack as known, but not as connected. Therefore I have to disconnect the Bluetooth adapter another time and re-connect it to be able to connect the two devices.
I firstly thought, that it's a Windows problem. I thought that Windows is able to put down the adapter to save some energy. But when I go to the Device Manager, there is no box for this option as known from other devices (f.e. USB-Ports). So this is not the problem. I think the problem is something else, maybe done by the Bluetooth Stack.
Under Windows XP this all worked perfectly. I used the same hardware and also the Bluetooth Stack by Toshiba (downloaded on the Dell Homepage).
Anyone some ideas?
Thanks!
Daevu

Hey there
Yesterday I made Format C: and installed Windows 7 new.
I did not install any bluetooth driver for my Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Adapter (made by Toshiba).
And now: The mouse and the keyboard are working. I even do not see them anywhere in my system, but they are working.
There is no bluetooth adapter in my device manager and I had not to connect the mouse and the keyboard with my computer. It's simply working without doing anything.
I don't understand this...
Is this a save connection?
What I've tried already:
-> Installing newest Bluetooth Stack from Toshiba. Problem seen in the message above. I also installed the MS Hotfix. Same problem.
-> Installing "Vista Profile Pack" from Dell Homepage, recommended for my notebook and Windows Vista. There is no stack installed. So I had to connect the mouse and keyboard via Windows Bluetooth Manager. But the adapter was made on and off by windows, the icon in the taskbar came and went and came and went. Connection is 1 minute good, then some seconds away. Not possible to work with the mouse.
And now without installing any driver it's working. Am I stupid?

Bluetooth drivers for windows 7

Anyone know where I can find a 32 bit bluetooth driver for Windows 7 so I can play my itunes through my PC? As my computer has a built in bluetooth access port.

So the intent is to stream media from the iDevice to the computer and have it play via the computers speakers? That sounds like a opening a can of worms that is completely unnecessary.
If the content is already on the comptuer, simply play it via iTunes on the computer.
Apple does offer an app called "Remote" for remote controlling the iTunes interface on a computer from an iOS device when on the same local network. It requires Home Sharing to be enabled in iTunes on the computer.

Toggling Between Windows

Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is a key function that enables you to toggle between windows of 1 program. For example toggle between all your open Safari browser pages? Something like "apple + tab" but for toggling between open windows in one application?
Many thanks,
