Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver

[swarfega]

Does anyone know where I can download this driver please (preferably in 64-bit).

Are you looking for the standard Widcomm drivers?

The website's downloads are down for the moment.

Try googling other sources:

widcomm bluetooth drivers - ÁíáæÞôçóç Google

 

[swarfega]

Im trying to get my mobile phone to use my isp's broadband instead of its suppliers. Its reporting that not finding this driver.

 

[limneos]

Then yes, I think this is the driver you need. I'll do some searching in my downloads to see if I have anywhere the latest version, 6.1 or so...

 

[swarfega]

cool, thank you.

 

[limneos]

Couldn't find it in my downloads, found other links for download though, however they're not the latest 6.0 version of Widcomm but 5.1

It might work if u wanna give it a try, after all widcomm is an extensions to windows's Bluetooth Stack and it's safe to try.

Widcomm 5.1

I know its 3 weeks late! But Ive found a fix for these drivers - Here

The situation with add-on bluetooth adapters in the UK is a strange one, a lot of the cheaper adapters available are physically tied into the Bluesoliel software, which is provided for free with the hardware.

Where the problem with this occurs is when you need to update the drivers for a new OS, it's like the printer situation under Vista you neeed to buy the software package to get the drivers.

They sometimes have released a cut down version for free but the full package is commercial

On a side note I have such an adapter which I gave up on about a year ago - this now works OOB with build 7100 except for the lack of one particular driver from for my phone - and that may well be Sony

On my old pc wih usb 1.1 and xp bluesoleil bluetooth usb dongle was working fine.
Now im with usb 2.0 (1.1) on motherboard and have
problems with bluetooth device. I have tried with windows xp -32 bit and windows 7 64 bit and can't find a solution.
I can only send small files from phone to pc.
I think there is a comunication (driver) problem between system and usb.
Of course most new usb adapters work fine with usb 2.0.

I tried several other solutions but none of them worked perfectly as the last one that I tried after vigorously searching online.
Here's what I did when bluetooth on Windows 7 PCs that I had, didn't work with my iPhone:

- Download the 'Windows Mobile Device Center' ( current version is 6.1 ) which you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
this works for both Vista and Windows 7. I've tried it on both.

- Install the downloaded software but it may not look like it worked on Windows 7 PCs. Vista automatically configures the settings on the bluetooth devices but for those who have Windows 7, here are the things you should do:

- Go to 'Device Manager' from 'Control Panel' -Or- just right-click on Computer Icon and choose 'Properties' and then click on 'Device Manager'.

- You'll see an 'Unknown Device' named 'Bluetooth Peripheral Device'

- Right-Click it and click on "Update Driver Software" -Or- anyway you find it easy to bring up the Update driver window.

- Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software" button.

- Click "Let Me Pick from a List of Device Drivers on my computer".

- Select 'Bluetooth Radio' from the list if it asked you to select and then in the next window, it will show a list of drivers with Company Names in one list and Drivers in another. In the Company List choose 'Microsoft Corporation', not only Microsoft.

- From the drivers list there may be one or more drivers with the name "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support" with different driver versions. Select one or the latest.

- Ignore any warnings and keep pressing next and then Finish at last. If all goes well, the last screen will show the message that device driver is successfully installed.

Now, after manually updating the driver for your bluetooth device, in 'Device Manager' when you click on 'Bluetooth Radios', it should display one more item which will say 'Windows Mobile-based device support'.

There are few more things that you want to pay attention to. If you have already added the device in your 'bluetooth device list' that didn't work, then remove the device and add it again. After you add it, you might need to restart the computer if it gave you a connection problem error message.

Every PCs that had Windows 7 and Vista worked after installing this software and I hope it will work for you too.

ok :S

Hey i got some trouble here, i followed the guide on the last post before mine and this is mi issue:

I cannot find Microsoft Corporation manufacturer therefore i cannot find the required driver, i only see Microsoft and MicrosoftHW.

Please help me,

Thanks

 

[rajivsinghsuwal]

If you have installed a correct version of 'Windows Mobile Device Center' then you should see 'Microsoft Corporation' in the list mentioned in my last posting. Btw, what s the system that you re trying to connect with your bluetooth device ?

 

[Stab]

ok

Uh ok thanks i didnt see it like a requirement in your last post. My OS? its in my profile, Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Also i wanted to add that i quited trying to get it to work because i wont download such a package for just 1 driver, I just push/pull files to the device via Bluetooth Devices menu ( I paired my phone (Nokia 2630) and pc, first making pc's bluetooth visible and accessing it through phone sending the Bluetooth PIN) and that's all.

Thanks although

Complete instruction is here
If you have used ActiveSync in the past, you would certainly love this package. Actually 'Windows Mobile Device Center' is the successor to ActiveSync. It is designed to synchronize various content including music, video, contacts, calendar events, web browser favorites, and other files between Mobile devices and the Windows operating system.
I'd like to point out something here in case you have tried some trial version of bluetooth software that you can get from online. Some of these trial software ( ie. Bluesoleil ) disable your 'Bluetooth Support Service' ( a core service that is essential to run your bluetooth device in Windows ) when the trial period expires. I have also seen people jumping into conclusion after using trial version that without paying for it their bluetooth device would never work. So make sure 'Bluetooth Support Service' is running and set to 'Automatic'. You can find that service by going to -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services (select it from the list).
