How can I make Bluetooth connect to a PC? - Captivate General

I've tried to connect to my Win 7 x64 PC via Bluetooth without success.
The handset shows that it is paired as does the PC.
The Captivate rejects all Bluetooth attempts to connect to Kies (1.5.3.10093_81) or as a mass storage device according to the error message displayed in Windows. No reason is given for the rejection. There are no entries in the Windows event logs for this.
The Captivate connects to my car via Bluetooth automatically.
The Captivate connects to Kies via USB.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to connect to a PC via Bluetooth?

Mine wouldnt pair to my PC until I unplugged my bluetooth dongle and plugged into a different USB port. After that, pairing was smooth and everything works. I doubt this is helpful but I figured I would share.
Also, I was connecting natively to Win7, not through Kies. Maybe it's just a Kies problem.

I tried it both ways, natively and through Kies.
Bluetooth is built into my PC and workss well for other devices.

Windows Mobile Sync (Vista) not connecting

I've tried this on Two machines now and it's doing my head in.
I have a Tytn II running Dutty's latest rom. Everything I try to connect the Network USB Connection comes up but the Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't connect. MyMobile which I have to autoconnect does connect.
I've tried changing the to the USB connection in the USB to PC section of the control panel on the device. I've found that if I delete the Network Connection via Device Manager (on the PC) and then reconnect the device it then works but fails the next time.
I've found that if I terminate all the Windows Media Player instances before connecting then it works but then disconnects. I've tried rebuilding the WMP database on the PC so I'm now a bit stuck. How can I fix this so that it works semi-reliably?

found new hardware: "bluetooth peripheral device"??

When i connect my touch pro via bluetooth to my computer it askes for the drivers for the phone ("bluetooth peripheral device") - Does anyone know where can i get these?
Thanks in adv,

Have you installed ms active sync. There maybe some drivers in there already. I don't have bt on my laptop so I can't test it for you. Usually I connect mine via usb.

T-Mo HD2 failing to Bluetooth sync to Windows 7 Laptop

Ok guys, here is the scoop:
I just purchased a new laptop with the following relevant specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Integrated Broadcomm Bluetooth Adapter
Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
I am using the standard (non-modified) T-Mobile HD2.
When I try to pair the two, there is an error on the laptop talking about how the "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" driver did not install properly, but others did. I can use some functions of the bluetooth pairing such as going through the file system to the device and transferring files from the phone to the computer. However, Windows Mobile Device Center does not recognize the phone as "connected" even though the option to allow the phone to connect via bluetooth is selected.
Also, I can not go through my phone to "push" a file from the phone to the computer. Actually, any bluetooth related action fails if initiated through the phone.
I have searched for hours on this issue and can not seem to find a resolution that works anywhere on the internet.

USB Tethering - Unidentified Network - No Internet Access

I am attempting to USB tether Internet access to a desktop with a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro. The process works flawlessly on my laptop, which already has WiFi Internet access and is running up-to-date Windows 8.1. There is no software or updates installed on the PC, aside from that which comes with Windows 8 Pro. Windows Defender/Firewall are disabled.
The PC does not recognize anything stored on the GS3, whether set as MTP, PTP, or neither, making it difficult to attempt transferring drivers. I have a UWF-1 wireless LAN adapter meant for Onkyo receivers, but it shows up as "UB93" with an exclamation mark in Device Manager. I've located potential drivers for the adapter, but I'm unable to transfer them from my laptop to the PC without the PC recognizing files stored on the GS3.
I have a single DVD-R I could use to transfer, but as it is the only method of transfer I have available, and I have single disc, I want to load it up with all potential fixes I can come up with before burning.
Any suggestions to get either USB tethering or the wireless LAN adapter functioning? or getting the PC to recognize files stored on the GS3?

[Q] Windows 8.1 connection issue

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with my Note being detected by my PC, I have installed Kies 3 and when the Note is connected the connection process starts but fails ( I tried using camera mode instead of MTP and Kies says It must be MTP so something is connecting), Also the device is detected in the device manager of the PC and the Note itself says its connected by USB 3.0.
I have updated, un-installed re-installed, all the drivers and Kies. I have also used a standar USB 2 cable and most of the ports on my PC.
Does anyone know what's going on? could it be a USB 3 issue with Windows?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

I've been having consistent issues connecting with the tablet through adb, on both linux (2 separate installs), and windows 8.1. Sometimes it just will not detect it. It gets detected as mtp storage fine, but adb devices returns nothing. Ill triple check all the relevant settings, make sure the computer has been authorized by the tablet etc. It will literally work just fine, and then 10 minutes later without even disconnecting the cable to using the tablet, it will no longer be detectable by adb.
I'm hoping it's just bugs in the release firmware that haven't been ironed out yet, and will disappear with future upgrades or with the flashing of a custom rom.
I've also had it refuse to charge through my laptops USB ports, even the special "faster charging" port.
It turns out my issue was the unit itself I took it back to JB-HiFi and the staff checked it out and it wouldn't connect to any of their PCs, we tried the Demo unit and it worked fine, So i exchanged it and it works perfectly..
Thanks for your reply though
Cheers
Gav
