I am trying to connect my notebook XPS 16 to connect to my Nokia E71 via bluetooth. I have installed Nokia PC Suite successfully latest version for WIN 7 x64.
Using a cable I am able to connect my phone with my laptop. But unable to connect to laptop using bluetooth. My laptop is able to find the phone and shows me in the list, but cant connect.
I gave it a whirl and it works like a charm here in France using Orange.
Here's the speed test results.
I had some trouble getting my iphone to connect via bluetooth to my mb, so this test was done via usb.
Will work out the bluetooth problem later, but for now its a nice backup for when no wi-fi is about.
No hacking/jailbreaking is required, yet I'm not quite sure how legal it all is so if the mods find this topic out of order feel free to delete.

The windows restores just fine and I was able to update to Windows 8.1 althought all my data in C drive got wiped. But now my laptop won't connect to any Bluetooth device. Whenever I go to PC settings, it just says "searching for bluetooth devide but it never detects my phone or any other bluetooth devide.Â
Also, since my data got wiped, I have to install the drivers for my printer again but this laptop won't even recognize the CD!! It won't recognize ANY CD.Â
And the Lenovo Veriface won't work either now.I've searched and searched for these issues. I re-installed bluetooth drivers and lenovo veriface but they still don't work. And the bluetooth drivers never got deleted from my laptop since they were installed in Drive D but they don't. laptop won't install my printers drivers.Â
im unable to connect my bluetooth headphones to my pc.
the headphones are Plantronics BackBeat 903.
i have no problem connecting them to other computers, or cellphones for that matter.
Â
when installing the Bluetooth driver, it says it doesnt find any bluetooth device, even though the headphones do run on looking for a device (or whatever it's called), but the laptop does not see them at all.
Â
again, i dont have this issue with other computers.
plus, ive tried to install the latest bluetooth driver available on lenovo's site, but i cant finish it (have to cancel, it doesnt finish it without locating the device).
I'm running Windows 8.1 and I've successfully connected via Bluetooth other devices to my R7 and sound bar but I can't successfully connect my Aspire R7 to my Samsung Sound Bar model HW-H750.

So I removed my phone from the paired device and again tried to pair it with my laptop, but I couldn't pair it. So I tried to reinstall the bluetooth driver from HP Recovery Manager. It was notified that the installation was successful but after that there is no bluetooth icon the PC Settings where I can switch on/off bluetooth. There is no bluetooth icon in the Device Manager as well.Â
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently bought this laptop (HP Pavillion 17 F035ND) with win8 pre installed.Because of the limits of my school's software I can not use win8.So naturally, I downgraded to win7, and installed everything I needed.But I have problems with 2 drivers, Bluetooth driver and the WLAN driver.Bluetooth won't connect properly, and the WLAN is extremely slow.My driver software says that I need Broadcom drivers for both of them, but the HP downloads only provide Intel or Realtek.
Â
Is the hardware really Broadcom? I know my way around computers and I searched the entire web.The bluetooth doesn't bother me that much, but I really need the WLAN drivers..link me to the correct drivers for my laptop with win7?
My HP Envy m6 laptop cannot connect to our wifi connection and only connects using the cable connection, ethernet.

It was still fine when I downloaded windows 8.1 but all of a sudden displays limited/no connectivity. I tried everything I can including resetting tcp ip settings thru command prompt, finding other drivers till someone suggested me to put my laptop back to windows 8. Still didn't fix the problem. Now, my laptop does not access wifi nor detect any wireless connection whether our home wifi, or others.
My home network has always been: SSID broadcast off, WAP2 TKIP+AES, MAC filtering and limited DHCP numbers. Yesterday, I connected the 13.3" MBP to the network and initial manual connection was fine. However, if I turn off and turn on AirPort or restart the computer, it doesn't re-connect automatically. The only time it re-connects is when I enable SSID broadcast. Is this the only option for MBPs (i.e., no auto connection to hidden SSID networks)?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI bought at DELL OUTLET a M6400 without the Bluetooth Module, I will buy it separate from DELL, do you know if the Bluetooth antenas will be Pre-Wired in the notebook ?,
actually I am buying the DELL 410 Bluetooth + UWB card, meaning I need the Pre-Wiring for Bluetooth and UWB ?
I noticed a few other threads around the internet about this issue, but couldnt find a definitive answer on how to get it fixed, so I thought I would try it here.
The problem is that when I go into standby and wake from it, my bluetooth icon disappears and bluetooth doesnt work.
I have a Dell Studio XPS 13 running Vista 64 with the Dell bluetooth 370 minicard. Ive tried using the generic windows bluetooth drivers as well as Dell's drivers.
Nothing appears in device manager as well. I have to manually go into bluetooth settings, disable the device, then re-enable it.
My Bluetooth keyboard goes to sleep after a period of idle and it takes 15 seconds for the Acer Aspire 1810T to wake up and notice the Bluetooth keypresses.
However, I found out my Bluetooth keyboard works reliably when I have a second Bluetooth device connected and active at the time (such as either a headset or bluetooth tethering to a cellphone as modem), the computer doesn't have a 15 second lag in noticing the Bluetooth keyboard again - the keyboard works almost right away even after being unused for sometime.
So that means the culprit is in the power management on the Acer Bluetooth module. Is there a way to force the Bluetooth module to never go to sleep? Any checkbox somewhere, a register setting? Even going as far to purchase a different Bluetooth driver? Or any other option? Sometimes the sleep is useful, but it definitely isn't useful with the Bluetooth keyboard. This problem does not happen if I use an external Bluetooth dongle.
(With BatteryBar Pro, I notice that power consumption falls suddenly whenever the Bluetooth module goes to sleep when the keyboard goes idle for more than 30 seconds, and at this point, it has difficulty 'waking up' when I start typing on the Bluetooth keyboard. But the problem also still happens when the laptop is plugged in!)
I have finally tested the Acer Empowering Technology software on my Acer D150.
Great news, the software works to enable/disable the Bluetooth module on the netbook without physically pressing the button. This is great for people like me that do not have the button on top to push the button inside. There are two software needed for people to get this running on the D150. First is the required “Acer Empowering Framework” software and the second is the “Acer ePower Management.” Once both software are installed on the system, the setting to enable/disable the Bluetooth module is in the ePower Management.
Power profiles within windows will probably be reset to default, so those would have to be readjusted if a user changed them. I am actually running Windows Vista on my Acer D150 with the Acer Empowering Technology software for Vista. I am not 100% sure if the software will also work on XP, but from the notebookreview forums, I believe it should work just as fine (but more options on other Empowering Technology software).
(in XP, the driver also works, but need XP edition, not vista editon).
I have need to use Bluetooth stereo audio functionality (A2DP profile) almost exclusively when I use my laptop.
I had owned a M1330 with the Dell 355 Bluetooth Module for several years without issue. Last November, I decided to upgrade and purchased an M15x (laptop #1) with the Dell 370 Bluetooth module included,running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. Not more than one day out of the box,the 370 module failed while watching a movie. It literally disappeared from device manager and no uninstalling/reinstallation of drivers alleviated the situation. The only way to get the radio to be recognized by the operating system was, and is, to shutdown,reboot into bios,disable the card in bios,reboot into windows,restart,boot into bios,enable the card and then reboot into Windows. The card would then work for awhile but eventually fail again. The module works for short periods of time but if put under an extended load,fails. That and other issues with the M15x caused me to return it.
Contacted Dell and returned the M15x and bought and built a Studio XPS 1645 (laptop #2) to replace it. Received the unit and literally within the 1st few hours,the 370 module failed exactly like the M15x.I thought o.k. a bad card and had tech support send out a new module for the XPS 1645. Received and installed it and the exact same problem happened. Failed when under an extended load. Again called tech support and was then dispatched an onsite tech to replace the entire motherboard and card. No resolution-card failed again. Spoke with a resolution specialist and returned it and again purchased a M15x (laptop #3-really liked the M15x over the XPS 1645)
Received the M15x-Bluetooth failure again. At this point, was considering dropping Dell altogether but thought I'd try the Studio 1558 (laptop #4) with the Bluetooth 365 module, in order to rule out the 370 card, first. Ordered and was delivered on the 5th of April, same exact issue-failure of card under a load. I am returning this defective Studio 1558 and again getting a M15x (laptop #5). I realize that the M15x Bluetooth card will fail again-in fact,am 100% sure it will fail,but have bought a Sony Bluetooth transmitter as a workaround.
What appears to be happening is that the card will shutdown when it gets warm.This is either a Broadcom manufacturing defect or a Dell engineering issue. I know now through personal experience that there is a serious issue with Dell Bluetooth cards.
If this was happening with only one laptop, I'd be ok with it but, this is occuring across multiple laptop platforms, with both Broadcom Bluetooth cards that Dell brands and sells.
This is either an oversight by engineering-maybe they didn't test the card under a heavy load, or Dell is knowingly selling defective equipment.
My son came home recently and I connected him successfully with our Dlink 655 via dlink_guest.
I happened to check the router (FW 1.21) and within the settings I see the following under "NUMBER OF WIRELESS CLIENTS"

I have the first generation XPS 1640, the one with the ATI 3670, and was wondering what kind of cable I would need to get it connected to my TV.
That said, it's not a HD tv (so a HDMI cord won't work). I need some kind of VGA to RCA cable.
Easy enough to find, but I've encountered some user reviews of these cables saying something along the lines of:
"Please remember that this cable will only work with VGA devices which can be configured for component video input".
Getting to know my new Vostro 1510. My first laptop.
Can you safely connect to AC "while" the laptop is running on battery? Or do you need to shut down first?
I have a Dell Precision M4400 with the 1510 wireless card. I have a question regarding my wifi card.
My school's wifi only shows up as one access point in the connection manager, but if I scan for wireless signals it shows several channels. The problem I am having is it seems quite random, depending on the signal strength I am guessing, my laptop connects to one of the B channels instead of the G ones.
If I go to the Driver Properties in the Device Manager, I can force it to choose A first, but not G instead B. Does anyone know a workaround to make it choose G first instead of B/G? Also,
I hate installing any Dell software that is not necessary, specially the Dell Wifi connection software since it's 300+ MB install, but does anyone who does use it know if it would allow me to specify G over B?
So just moved and went to setup my office again and everything works fine except my M1530 cant connect over wifi. I have Roudrunner, a Linksys WRT55AG, Vista Desktop, M1530 laptop, HP laptop, and iphone. Everything except my M1530 can access the internet.
It says that I am connected to my wirless network but not the internet. I can access the internet when my laptop is directly plugged in via lan cable to router but whenever I disconnect the lan cable and try to go online over the wireless I cant! Under device manager everything looks fine except "isatap" it says there is an error code 31.
I have Dell Vostro A860 running Windows Vista. It has I-394 and VGA ports.
I want to output video and audio from this laptop to my HDTV (Panasonic Viera Plasma 42") which has most video inputs like HDMI, component, s-video but not VGA.
Is there a way to do this and if yes how? I route audio output from laptop to my 5.1 system via Pioneer A/V receiver.
Hi i am not sure how to connect my Studio XPS 16 laptop to my CRT TV. Please help me out.

I have windows 8 . And when i connect a usb device nothing happens . When i connected my phone it  was charging but not conected ..
I tried to install chip set driver but it said thath i need : 64 bit dpinst.exe  .
USB 2.0 is slow for a back up drive and moving data.
My Studio 17 has a dedicated eSata port which moves data at 3.0GB/sec. Now I would like an SSD drive, with an eSata enclosure. So I can rapidly hookup, back up and go.
Any ideas of what I need or how to go about this.?
My E4300 (in sig) has the above NIC, but whenever I boot up my laptop (from standby, hibernate, or even from shut down), it won't connect to the internet unless I disable the device and re-enable it.
The NIC recognizes that a cord is plugged in and that there is a connection, but it just won't initialize it and connect to the internet.
I only get "Local Access" until I reset the device, as I said earlier. This seems to only happen when on battery power.
I have the latest Dell driver for the device, and I've tried tweaking many power settings, but it just won't connect on battery unless I reset the device.
My Inspiron 1520 can't connect to SMC8014W-G. I'm using the Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card.
My settings for the wireless are set to Auto (instead of W or G). And the Channel is set to 11. I tried other channels but it's the same deal.
The router is at all default settings, with a level 1 WEP. My room mate can connect, but I can't. We're both using Vista.
I'm completely unable to get this laptop to connect to a Linksys WRT150N wireless router.
Under a/b/g the connection is no problem. Under Wireless-N, it sees the SSID, but can't connect to it.
I'm using the latest driver from the looks of it. 7.6.0.168 and downloaded it right from the Dell support page.
The router is setup as
Wireless-N Only
Radio Band: Auto
Wide Channel: Auto
Standard Channel: Auto .....
I am unable to connect my XPS 1330 to a Dell 2408 monitor via HDMI. I am running Vista Business and the 1330 has the integrated Intel graphics chip. Connecting the two with a VGA connector seems to work, but not via HDMI.
Also anyone have experience with the "Display port" input on the Dell Monitor? What is that all about? is it basically HDMI without sound, or something like that? Why have that and still have the DVI inputs?
