Nokia 1520 Bluetooth issue (windows 7PC)

Hi,
I am trying to pair my lumia 1520 with my windows 7 PC. But I am getting error connection. I went into device manager and it shows " Bluetooth peripheral device"issue.
Please help me resove the issue.
Thanks
Arun

You man need to find updated drivers for the bluetooth hardware on your PC.
Once paired with a laptop of tablet that is all that is needed. The connection does not have to be maintained so the phone disconnects.
If you initiate a transfer the devices connect again and do the transfer.
Start the pairing from the Win7 PC in devices and printers, add a device.
For the PC to receive a file right the BT icon and select receive a file, waiting for a connection pops up, then start the transfer from the phone.
For the PC to send a file you can start with the file to share, right click it, send to, bluetooth device, and select the phone.

Nokia N75 bluetooth issues

Hi,
I am having issues with bluetooth on my new MacBook Pro (2.5gHz non-unibody aluminum). It refuses to pair with my Nokia N75, it just hangs at the page that says "gathering additional information about your phone." The phone pairs fine with an older PowerBook G4 running Tiger. What's going on? I'd really like to be able to tether the phone without having to resort to a USB interface, or a five-year old laptop.
Thanks,
Adam Johnson

HI Adam,
It's possible the Nokia isn't compatible with Leopard. Since your MBPro is new, since you don't have a profile, I'm assuming you are on Leopard. (It really helps us to help you if you click My Settings on the right side of the page and fill out the form then scroll down and click Save).
Try deleting the Bluetooth pref file. That can become corrupted. Locate this file:
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preference. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash. Try pairing the cell and Mac now.
Check the Nokia web site support area also.

Nokia 6300 - Bluetooth issue in Mazda re: Music Fi...

Whenever I turn on the car engine, the phone does a search on loop for my non-existent music files. This drains the phone battery and makes it impossible to use the phone.
Can anyone help with a solution on how to fix this please?

Hi foxystoat,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
Reset your phone's settings with *#7780# and default security code 12345 (unless you have changed this code yourself). This should stop the search for music files.
If the above doesn't fix it, try a software update with Nokia Suite or reinstall the current software. You can do this by clicking on the green arrow in Nokia Suite.
As a last resort you can try a hard reset. In combination with the software update this should definitely solve the problem. Do make a back up with Nokia Suite first though, as the device will be cleared completely. Also make sure that when you make the back up, you don't tick the Settings box, as this will backup the bug that's causing the issue in the first place.
Let me know how you get on!

OS version, 8.10.14157.200, no longer works with bluetooth in my car - Nokia 1520

I installed OS version, 8.10.14157.200 on my Nokia 1520 and now the Bluetooth connection to my car is choppy and can't hear the other party on the call, nor can they hear me. It will allow me to connect to the car but doesn't work at all. I did select the
advanced connection option but results were the same.
Any suggestions?

I just fixed it on mine somehow.
What I did:
- Took RDC out of full screen mode
- Dragged the RDC window over to the MBP monitor from my secondary monitor
- Quit RDC hoping it would remember it's on the MBP monitor.
- Started RDC back up and it opened on both monitors.
No idea what in there worked, but it's working now.
Good luck.

Nokia 6300 Bluetooth driver for Windows 7

Hey Guys,
Since installing Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit, on my ASUS laptop, it won't let me connect to my Nokia 6300 via bluetooth anymore. It was fine with Vista. I've installed PC Suite - that still connects fine.
However when I go to connect via bluetooth through windows (so I can transfer songs through windows media player, which I have to do for some of them since which won't transfer through Nokia Music Manager), it says driver cannot be found. It then tries to find it to no avail.
I tried going here http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-6300/software but I don't know how to install the drivers. Where do I save them to? They're inf files and just open up with notepad.
I tried saving them to C:\Windows\inf but it didn't work. When I try to connect it just tries to find the driver manually and won't give me an option to point to that file, only the directory. But still doesn't pick it up and will say that there isn't the right driver.
Any help?

Those .inf files you are talking about are modem drivers only.
You install them if you don't have PC Suite or Ovi Suite installed and you still want to use your phone as a modem for your computer.
To me your problem sounds more like a bluetooth stack incompatibility in your PC.
You have an Asus, so I guess you are running on Toshiba bluetooth.
Try the latest bluetooth stack from here:

Nokia 1520 Usability

Hi,
I have been using Nokia 1520, Nokia Lumina Black Edition Windows Phone 8 for about 2 month, I find the phone really lack of basic functionality. Compare to Android and iOS.
Does anyone know where Bluetooth Shared File Store on Windows Phone 8?
I've been scratching my head about this one, no file manager so where does the Bluetooth shared files(pdf) store ?, Tried the Office Hub Icon (It is not in the document folder).
I have also notice that you only have one chance (and I must said one chance) to open with an appropriate app.
If you missed that chance, you can't find it (even it is already downloaded).
For example:
After the file finish downloaded onto Nokia 1520, you'll see a message tap to view done ... on top of the screen, you need to choose the appropriate app to open it.
Problems:
1. When a file finish transfer my phone go into powersaving mode (or lock screen), I then tap on the message while I am on the Lock screen (That it I have lost the opportunity to find my file) - (Once Chance).
2. You can send multiple file, but you can only tap once on the message (One Chance)
My annoying work around is to re-send the file (That mean there is another copy somewhere that use up my phone storage).
Another mind bloggling thing about Bluetooth Connection, I've seen question in the forum about bluetooth connection.
After the phone is paired with PC (You click on connect, it would connect for a few second and then disconnect, I was always under the impression that it mean the bluetooth is not working when it was disconnected after a few second).
From what I have understand so far is, Bluetooth connection only stay connect during file share and then disconnect.
I think if this is by design, then Nokia should documented some where that it is not mean to stay connected.
Can't Open PDF Link
When visit site that does not return file type of pdf (you have no way of open/download the document) as it is become unsupported document type event if you surf the Store.
Can't Easily Share file between program.
Let said if I have a pdf document on the phone, I want to open up in different PDF Reader Program. I have to put into the Document Folder for Office Hub to recognize then I can select which Program to Open With (No setting for Default Program - you have to select every single time).
Each Program that you open with seem to get a copy of this same file.
Viewing Multiple Account in 1 Mail Program
(This really need to have it own topic, since it have so many gotcha).
1. Linked Mail (Not obvious, someone in this forum was able to point me to this functionality) to allow viewing multiple mail account from 1 program (but this have it own limitation - you can't distinct which account the email is coming from unless you open the email and find there is a small text with the account name).
2. When you are creating a Draft email and you switch to another app, how do you switch back to your draft. You have to Tap and Hold on the Back Key (<-) then find the draft email that you are currently composing.
3. How do you find the sent folder for the mail account?
You have to Tap on ... Then select folders ( Not as simple as Android or iOS, just swipe/tap a button to show all the folder).
Viewing Video File
1. There is no option to lock the key, alot of time I accidentally tapped to the next section of the movies.
2. No easy access to the volumn control on screen when play back the movie.
PDF Viewer.
I am still waiting for a Good PDF Reader (With basic functionality, Highlight, Adding Bookmark).
I have try Acrobat Reader (But look like no one interested in improving it, the program is not optimized for Nokia 1520, therefore text is not very clear, I have raise the issue but no response).
I have sent the feed back to Microsoft regarding the default PDF Reader (Can't add bookmark, No Highlight), but no response. I guess, I am only a small fish in the pond.
ePub Viewer.
I am not sure is it me or what, most of the ePub Reader is Line Justified which leave a big gap between the text and it really annoy me, but no setting to turn this off.
Regards Dat.

And add up A) Oversensitive screen that doesn't allow you to type properly B) Lack of Traditional Chinese with Pinyin insertion (been asked first in 2011) C) Lack of consistency in when it allows you to select one single word or position the cursor accurately VS selecting whole words (It's OS selected not like Android that allows you to do what you want) D) Terrible support both online and in person (In Taipei i had a terrible experience) E) Free gift vouchers that you can't use because either your email or your current location DO NOT MATCH the gift card. In short it sucks 360°

Nokia 1520 shortcomings and lack of proper support

I have been given a Nokia 1520 as a gift (after i had suggested i liked it). I have owned it for 3 weeks roughly and it's been a total saddening experience. Amongst the countless issues i am meeting are:
- The infamous oversensitive display issue. Can't type any sms or email straigth without having multiple characters repeated over and over. This also means that while i try to scroll the screen i happen to open unwanted apps or unwanted links in the browser or in newsreaders. Also, trying to select a tile to resize/unpin it, it most often results in opening it countless times before i actually manage to unpin.
- Lack of a keyboard allowing me to input Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (It was requested in 2011, ie 3 years ago).
- Timed stroke writing for chinese characters means that if you are too slow (as most westerners writing chinese are) you can't even write characters (maximum timing is 0,8 secs).
- Lack of any form of quick input like swiping or so. Multiple issues also at downloading languages for the keyboard. A nightmare.
- The OS won't allow users to select single words or place the cursor in a specific position inside a word. This can be done in some places but not everywhere.
- Bing Translator honestly sucks and there is a huge shortage of dictionaries and language related resources in the market (nothing comparable to Pleco or Hanping
- Lack of a decent notification bar and a LED telling people they got mail or messages or calls when the phone is muted. This caused me to lose two important jobs.
- Very poor/shaky reception for the phone and Internet. Where my Galaxy Note 2 works full broadband, the Nokia connection goes up and down or is none at all.
- I took the device to Nokia Support Centre in Taipei and the person in charge was a kid who not only didn't know anything about the, now well known, issues of the device but he also got very arrogant, talking carelessly and with a very bad attitude and claiming "people shouldn't buy phones without being able to use them" and "if you tried it before why you complain now?". Tested the phone for 2 seconds and he decided it had no issues, so apparently no chances to have the phone sent for a repair/substitution.
Is this the path Nokia and Microsoft are taking with Windows Phone?
I am so disappointed that i am considering reselling the thing and going back from where i came from, IE Android.
It's a shame Nokia hasn't learned how to treat users yet. I am particularly disappointed at the defective device and at the attitude of the part time, lazy, sleepy teenagers they use in Taipei to cover the service making customers run (or worse since some of those guys really push your patience far above the limits, maybe they don't like foreigners or they are scared at speaking English, whatever it is, it's very uneasy and unpleasant). I have never seen such a bad service for a such a malfunctioning device in my life. I have owned maybe 20 or more devices to date (including old Windows Phones) and never had so many negative experiences piled up all together at the same time
I just wish i had been given a device with some other OS rather than a device with a Beta version of an OS supported by part time staff.

This would appear to be a genuine issue with the 1520. Do not have one so could not comment
- Yes indeed i can grant you it's genuine. Haven't sent an email in the last 2 weeks. Just too frustrating.
I know there is several Chinese language settings but as I am not Chinese could not comment beyond this is not something Nokia could do anything about as it is a core OS issue and not a hardware/firmware one.
- Well, it's easy to see if you have doubts. Enter: Settings-Keyboard and go search for any form of input that says "Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (PinYIn is the romanization of chinese characters. You type say "Wo" and the chinese character for "I" pops up amongst other choices. This has been existing from day 1 in any decent keyboard. It has been requested at MS suggestion board 3 years ago. Is still to be implemented. I find it hard to think how they can sell these phones here (especially considering the relations between China and Taiwan and the fact they use simplified/traditional respectively). It's not only a mad marketing move, it's also politically sensitive. No one normal does that here, believe me.
There's several swiping keyboard shortcuts such as typing special characters or numerals (tap hold the 123 key and swipe to the desired character)
- Sure, then do one thing. Download any swiping keyboard on an Android device and then compare the speed at which you type and amend words. The WP keyboard is primitive. The fact you can't resize it combined with the screen oversensitiveness make it useless. Other Nokias are much much better, but you can't beat a real swipe keyboard, especially if you type as a profession. How can someone use such a keyboard on a device in 2014 is beyond me and and anyone else who has used an Android but even a Blackberry in old times. It's simply inefficient compared to anything else out there. Then we can argue on what we like or not but surely not on its lack of productivity compared to else (whatever else)
As long as the app does not use it's own code anywhere you want to enter text tap and hold to have the cursor appear and swipe to the location wanted.
- Then do a test. Take an email sent by someone else. Then go to the portion of text he sent you in the REPLY mail you are writing and try to select one of the SENDER's words. You'll see it's impossible. Then move down and try to select a single word of your reply. You'll see it can be done. Different menus pop up based on where you are or which app you are.
Same is TEXT PREDICTION. It works in some places, doesn't in others, even when you'd need it
Never used it, as far as I heard especially since tha latest (recent) update this got a lot better)
You don't. Try to be a foreigner permanently based abroad and the usefulness of these tools (Dictionaries, translators, etc.) will appear immediately, especially when you have to handle or even study characters based on ideograms. Now, Android (Which i insist in saying i don't like due to their philosophy), offers not only a good mobile translating app (including a function where you take a picture then just scroll your finger on the words you want to be translated and translation pops up in a moment) but if you don't like it you can also find a wide choice of tools (Pleco and Hanping being among them and their developers having no intention to expand on WP for now and some not even in the future). In this perspective, what for you is useless or secondary, for people like me (and other expats who do business and work abroad) is a killer application. Google got it. Microsoft and Nokia, it seems, don't.
Never understood the obsession with a notification bar when your apps and services all give up constant updates and notifications on their tiles. I would not want a blinking light on my phone ever. If you are unable to check your phone even once an hour that is really not the phone or OS problem. Don't try and pin your own negligence on the phone that just makes you look silly.
Let's try to be constructive. This OS must not be built based on what you as Blog Admin like or don't like. It has to be built to cater for a wide range of users. Now, you don't like that led because apparently your tiles make you happy. I, don't spend all my day watching tiles. I work too so the phone goes in standby and since it's permanently muted (no ring, no vibration), LED is key to understand when i get emails or sms' or other notifications. I am not asking a multicolour LED as in Samsung devices (which allow you to assign a colour and vibration combination to different accounts so you understand based on colour and vibration what is important and what is not; but at least a basic primitve LED telling people "Hey you got mail or SMS". If it's not a LED, a screen notification waking up the phone from standby would to as well. As far as i know it's not present. It was present in many Android devices as both standard or third party app since the very first basic versions.
So you use a Note2 and 1520 at the same time? this may well have nothing to do with the phone and it won't be the first time it turns out a WiFi router is actually at fault.
So what do you do? Go to Starbucks and tell everyone to stop using the free Wi-Fi because your Nokia 1520 needs a dedicated connection and i threaten to suit Starbucks for not letting the King have the whole bandwidth for itself?
Galaxy works fine. Nokia doesn't, especially when broadband gets weaker (Taipei has Wi-Fi also on Metro wagons and any restaurant or other outlet you may think of). Core point is everyone is there reading their content on their mobiles. I am there trafficking with settings and **bleep**. Ended up using my Galaxy which works fine.
Those are not Nokia owned nor operated stores, go complain to them
Let me explain you a basic of marketing so you understand when it's not the case to defend a brand beyond reasonable limits even when you administer their blog.
If i, as a customer, enter a BLUE SHOP carrying a big, huge, NOKIA brand with all people wearing Nokia shirts i (and the other 23 million users who almost stopped to buy Nokia in Taiwan) assume whoever is running it, is running it on behalf of Nokia (Officially or unoficially doesn't matter as they get the license to sell from Nokia in any case). So, if your licensee works good, people are happy and buy more; if the staff shows signs of laziness, arrogance, treating adults without respect, showing ignorance on device's issues (They didn't even know about the global issue of oversensitiveness or about keyboards...the phone was an alien in their hands), people RUN. And i did RUN.
If you combine the bad support with the fact that the device is actually malfunctioning and lacks a lot of basic functions that in 2014 are given for granted, i beg to think that the only users left once they try the phone for one or two weeks will be some Fans of the brand and a few people who need it to watch movies and take pictures but you don't need a phablet for that. When you sell a bad device and have an as bad support that instead of solving the issue denies it you are turning the market in a self-help environment where users get angered (And you can see how many there are about Lumias and 1520 starting to get on top of the list). So, as much as you and I may stay argue in your blog, i think that if this issue is not solved this OS doesn't have much future.
Finally, a phablet is a sophisticated device where screen size, hardware and software package combine to offer a certain experience that ranges from entertainment to work IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT (Not in your garden, in your living room or when you show off the device to friends to let them see all those useless tiles which you can't even interact with as they open when you want to resize them etc. due to the bad screen). It means the device must be ready and functional in your country or in mine or wherever you live. In this case, Galaxy and their cheap plastic trash got it right with the Note family. Others like HTC and Nokia are lagging behind and 1520 in this respect is not helping people who want to jump from Android to Windows Phone to make that jump.
Test the device simulating the job a professional user doess (typing mails all the time, text messages, interacting with web content, copy/paste, translating and sharing data, sending data to other apps in a snap), then multiply that for 7 days a week and then experience the frustration accumulating day after day. In my case, this is further amplified by the fact that i come from a device that has spoilt me allowing me to do things in a snap.
This phone, as is, is no game!

Satellite U500 - Bluetooth issues BT Monitor vs. Bt Stack

Hello everyone,
My wife's machine is a Satellite U500-10L PSU5EE-002003AR, now with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (originally with Vista pre-installed, later with W7Pro 32-bit.)
Now, I've always had various issues with Bluetooth on this machine, and it's the only machine I've ever had Bluetooth issues with, mostly having to do with internet connectivity via mobile phones.
Most usually, I connect to the internet using Sony Ericsson PC Suite and a Bluetooth-controlled Sony Ericsson mobile phone (currently and Elm, and occasionally a Hazel or a C702.) This setup has always worked flawlessly on every other machine I've used, such as my Getac B300, the old HP Compaq 6710b given to me by my previous employer for a couple of years, and even my untrustworthy old Thinkpad T42 (now deceased), and my mother's ancient Macbook. With those machines, I've never had any trouble connecting to any of the phones or to the internet, with no drops, connection issues or any other issues.
Not so with this U500. I'm writing this while connected through PC Suite, with Bluetooth Monitor 4 as the hardware controller. The connection is intermittent at best, usually unreliable, and sometimes downright impossible. Sometimes it works flawlessly for days on end, and sometimes it just refuses to work. Generally, though, I get a connection more often than not, but the issue is annoying nevertheless.
Now, I tried a different approach: I uninstalled Bluetooth Monitor and SE PC Suite, installed the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and tried to connect to the internet directly through the BT Stack. I paired the Elm to the U500 successfully from the BT Stack control panel and managed to dial the connection, so far so good. But I had no internet access whatsoever. Now, the phone shows that it's actually connected, and so does the BT Stack control panel and the Windows 7 connectivity monitor in the system tray, but there's no actual access to the internet (I only get the little yellow triangle with the +no internet access+ message, but the phone is dialed in.)
So, I tried reinstalling PC Suite (with BT Stack present), and things got even worse: now the BT connection itself between PC Suite and the phone is only sporadic and intermittent, but sometimes it just works well enough to actually get a connection (albeit an unreliable one.)
So now I've uninstalled the BT Stack, reinstalled BT Monitor and went back to using PC Suite for dialing, and the same issues I mentioned earlier still persist.
Now, my two questions are these: a. why didn't I get any internet access with BT Stack, even though the phone was actually dialed in to the connection? and b. assuming the internet access issue is resolved, would I possibly get a more reliable connection (i.e. one that doesn't suddenly decide to drop every so often) with BT Stack instead of the PC Suite/BT Monitor setup?
Thanks in advance.

Just an update: I've found that as long as there is a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, there would be no issues. The Bluetooth connectivity issue only starts to appear whenever there's something - anything - in the way between the two.
Let me clarify. Now I'm sitting at my desk, with the U500 right in front of me, while the mobile phone is hanging from a nail in the wall above me and to the left. Now that there's a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, I have no issues at all.
Now, let's say I take the U500 off the desk, put in on my lap, and turn my back to the phone. In this case, my head and torso would be in the way of a direct line of sight between the two, and the stability of the connection begins to deteriorate, and it becomes very unreliable - sometimes even dropping the Bluetooth connection altogether (Sony Ericsson PC Suites goes all gray on me!)
Here's another example: there's a printer sitting on the desk right to my left. Now, if I stack up a bunch of magazines on top of the printer, high enough to be within the line of sight, I will start having issues!
So, I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth connectivity issue, and has nothing to do with the internet connection or firewall. It's clearly a hardware quality issue.
By contrast, I never experienced any such issue with my B300, the HP Compaq 6710b I had earlier, or even with my now-deceased ThinkPad T42. Hell, I might as well have gone into a different room entirely and still maintained a Bluetooth connection with those three machines! With the Toshiba, though, as soon as I carry the thing out the door - which is about four feet from the phone - the connection is gone!

Bluetooth Issue ENVY dv7 C2Y65AV After Win 8.1 to Win 7 Downgrade

My laptop is an ENVYdv7 C2Y65AV
It originally came with Windows 8.0, and I upgraded later to 8.1.
I never liked 8.0 or 8.1 so I “downgraded” to Windows 7 Professional. I did my research, realizing there may be issues. I downloaded drivers, bought a new hard drive, etc.
All went better than expected and I am happy with the “downgrade”, save for 1 issue.
1- I am having difficulty getting my Bluetooth to connect completely to any of my devices (headphones or headset).
My WiFi works well, I believe the Bluetooth 4.0 is part of the Intel Centrino WiFi card . When connecting any Bluetooth device, it does show in the Bluetooth devices screen. It will discover it and “connect” to it, but nothing happens when I try to use them. The sound still comes from the laptop speakers.
I have the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 BNHMW that came with the laptop. It worked well with Windows 8.1. All my Bluetooth devices paired easily with the laptop when Windows 8.1 is running.
I have been to Intel's website, made sure my driver for the wireless card for Windows 7 is the correct and latest version. They have a software utility that installs on your laptop, then searches and downloads the correct, latest version.
I downloaded all the drivers for this downgrade from HP's (this) website's software and driver support section. What a great resource this site is!
Suggestions? Advice?
I appreciate any help!
Thank you,
James
P.S.
An interesting thing about Windows 8.1.
When I installed Windows 7 Professional, I bought a new SSD hard drive just for this purpose. I had saved my pulled hard drive with Windows 8.1 on it just in case this downgrade didn't fare well.
Just for grins, I added it as a second hard drive (later) in case I needed to get missed files.
When I rebooted my laptop, I went into the boot manager, and selected my primary drive with Windows 7. It booted up normally.
Then seconds after booting, a message popped up saying I needed to reboot for the changes to take effect. I didn't recall making any, but figured something had updated?
So I did. I rebooted and Windows 8.1 took over, and changed files on my SSD hard drive (win 7 drive) that ultimately disabled that drive from booting Windows 7.
Trying to boot into the Windows 7 hard drive froze right after the Windows 7 splash screen.
I pulled the plug on the Windows 8.1 hard drive, rebooted to Windows 7. Before I could though, it had to scan the hard drive for changes, and correct them. Then Windows 7 booted up normally.
This Windows 8.1 sure is controlling. Can you say “Hal” from the movie “2001 A Space Odessay”
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank You Pepe999,
This Bluetooth issue has been resolved by following your suggestion and replacing my WiFi/ Bth card with a new Intel AC 7260.
Worked like a charm...Thank you!
Now my Windows 7 "downgrade" is complete. ALL is working, and working better for me than the windows 8.0 an later 8.1 it had.

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.

5800 - cannot copy files over bluetooth in Windows...

Hi Guys,
I have always been able to connect my 5800 to my computer through bluetooth. It used to work on XP as well as Vista. Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 - I have been unable to copy files from my computer to my phone through bluetooth. (Phone to computer file copy works fine).
The phone connects to the PC quickly - but if I try to copy - using windows explorer or even using the File Manager of PC Suite - then I am not able to copy files correctly. It shows me a dialog box saying "Do you want to copy <<Filename>> to your device? Your device may not be able to play or view this file" If I still choose to copy then it copies a file of zero bytes!
Has anybody experienced this? Please help.
Heres my configuration --
Phone - Nokia 5800
PC OS - Windows 7
PC Suite - 7.1.51.0

Are you using built in bluetooth or a dongle ? I had problems with mine, (using a bluetooth usb dongle) on Windows 7, and to be honest don't know how it was solved ! Few times computer says installing drivers failed (although Ovi Suite would connect ok) then a few days ago bluetooth file manager started working !!!!!!!!!! Can only assume some new drivers compatible with Win7 have been released by samsung, who made my dongle. Sorry it's not a lot of help, but may be worth checking the web for bluetooth drivers for Win 7 ?
Good Luck
ps drag and drop via usb cable is much quicker !!

Both issues are related to the hardware buttons at the bottom. To me, sounds like a hardware issue. Give your phone back to your dealer, who sends it over to a local but genuine Nokia Care Centre!

X6 Bluetooth issues

I have an Nokia X6 which I connect to both my laptop and car (Blaupunkt Hamburg stereo) for hands free, sometimes the bluetooth 'locks out' it won't connect to either at all, yet if I turn the phone off and on it will then connect to either/both just fine. Phone is running V31.0.004, I see the X6 suffers from a lot of Bluetooth issues (did anyone ever do Beta testing, if they did did they ignore the results?) so has anyone had this and got a fix, note this is my second X6 the first was returned due to a number of faults, including this same one!

How do I activate Bluetooth in Windows 8?

I have an Envy 4-1130us ultrabook that is really nice, but I can't get my bluetooth to work. It did work for about a week, but somehow is now failing. I attempted to go into pc settings > wireless and turn the bluetooth to "on" but it is not allowing this. I have also tried using f12, but it is only activating the wi fi. FYI - I was using the bluetooth for a wireless mouse. Anything else I might try?

Tips for finding a Bluetooth deviceIf Windows cannot detect the Bluetooth device, check the following items:
Make sure that wireless communication is turned on (Notebook computers only)
Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and set to be discoverable on the device. When a device is set to be discoverable, it uses radio signals to broadcast its location to other Bluetooth devices and computers.
A device such as a wireless mouse or a keyboard, might have a button on it that you need to push.
A device such as a Bluetooth mobile phone, might have a setting in the menu that you need to select to turn on Bluetooth so the device can be discovered.
NOTE:If you do not know how to set your device to be discoverable, check the information that came with your device or go to the manufacturer’s website.
A device such as computer might need to have the Discovery setting turned on. To turn on Discovery in Windows 8, press the Windows  + W key.
Type bluetooth into the Search field.
Figure 25: Searching for bluetooth
Click Change Bluetooth settings from the list of results.
The Bluetooth Settings window displays.
In the Discovery area on the Options tab, click Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer .
Figure 26: Making the Bluetooth device discoverable
Also, here are a couple of tips you can consider using while trying to activate the bluetooth.
Make sure the device is turned on, is not low on battery power, and is not in sleep mode.
Make sure the device is within wireless range of your computer, usually within six to nine feet. If you are not sure if the device is in range, move it closer to your computer, or put the device and computer in the same room.
Make sure there are no other devices interfering with the wireless device, such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, or other wireless devices.
If your computer uses an external Bluetooth adapter, make sure the adapter is attached and installed, and is working correctly.
If Bluetooth is integrated in your computer, especially a notebook computer, make sure the Bluetooth radio transmitter is turned on because many notebook computers have a button to turn the transmitter on and off. If you are not sure how to turn it on, check the information that came with your computer or go to the manufacturer's website.
If you have any more questions please let me know.
