Bluetooth Peripheral Device - No driver found  

Hi guys,

I downloaded the latest btooth driver available from the support site and proceeded with the installation:



I still proceeded to pair my XPERIA arc S (LT18i) with my N45SF and encountered the following error:



Both devices paired successfully though.
I was able to btooth a file to my phone and playback music from my phone with my laptop as the audio device/speaker.

Despite the seemingly successful pairing (I'm confused why they appear to work), what can be done to get rid of the errors? I have tried automatic driver detection/installation via Windows Update to no avail.

Hi there .. Did you Install PC Companion ? .. If not its in the Link below ...

Hi maxie,

Unfortunately, installing PC Companion (and updating all its sub-components) did not solve the issue.

However, I found a post from xda-developers that solved the problem.


Solution:

1. Start > Search > Device Manager > Other Devices > Bluetooth Peripheral Device > Update Driver Software
2. Continue from Step 5 to Step 9

Results:
The generic driver was installed and I was able to get rid of that annoying yellow exclamation mark.

Again, I tested sending a video and playback music with my laptop as the audio device with successful results.

Since this is a generic driver, the solution can possibly work on any bluetooth device, regardless of brand. If anyone else encounters this, it may be worth a shot.

Thanks for reminding me to install PC Companion though, I have been meaning to try it anyway.

Hopefully, other members can also find this useful. Thread marked solved.

Nice find there Kathy glad you got the issue sorted

Reason why I love forums. Useful knowledge everywhere.

I find myself referring to my old threads haha. Updated solution to be more concise and added screenshots for better guide.
