I know i should know how to do this but what's the trick to getting the TF300 to connect to my laptop over bluetooth?
When i connect the tablet i get "Windows was unable to install device driver" and in the device mangler it shows two entries for "bluetooth peripheral device" with a yellow exclamation mark.
My Acer A500 connects without any problems.
My TF300 is on .29 firmware and my laptop is running Windows 7 64-bit
i have 3 bluetooth headsets and none of them work with my windows 7 laptop,
it does recognize the headsets but just say that error (bluetooth peripheral device). never able to install driver
while the headsets work fine on my sister's ipod touch, my brother's ipad, but never work for windows 7
if anyone knows how to fix this issue please let me know
but how does your acer a500 connect with windows 7?
I just paired my transformer with my Windows 7 64 bit laptop via bluetooth without issues. Windows 7 also supports headphones (old Jabra 620's) and a
Creative 200 speaker. My laptop devices under bluetooth list my laptops. Radio BCM2046 and a Microsoft bluetooth enumerator.
You might check out the various Win 7 support areas/forums.

Same here. No issues pairing Windows 7 64-bit. Of course I made sure my laptop had an internet connection so it could download and install the necessary drivers.

I have an internet connection and everything else i pair with it works... (headsets, my Photon, my A500) ..
Not something i NEED...just wondering if anyone had any ideas
Wasn't trying to be snarky before. Sometimes just have to start from beginning. Lenovo laptop, Win7/64-bit/SP1 current with all updates when I got the TF300. Literally just turned on BT and paired. Think I made tablet discoverable and found it on laptop.
I do run into problems from time to time with both wifi and BT configs. When things fail for whatever reason I end up deleting, rebooting and recreating. It is Microsoft afterall...

Hey everyone, just finished installing Ubuntu to my dell mini 10v netbook. I really like it so far but I have hit a problem that may be a potential deal breaker. Has anyone running Ubuntu 9.10 been able to tether their phone to their computer?. It does not seem to connect to my phone running this app for me. It sees the SSID, and i tell it to connect, and then I just get that circle thing for a couple of minutes then it gives up and connects to my main router if its in range.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm not sure if its Ubuntu or the app, it worked perfect with XP
I don't run Ubuntu on my netbook so it may be slightly different, but I have it working great on mine running Arch Linux. Wifi tether uses an Ad-Hoc mode where most routers/access points use Infrastructure mode. You may have to tell network-manager or whatever controls your wireless settings to use Ad-Hoc. If that doesn't work you could set it up manually through the command line or make a little script with those commands to do it so you don't have to type them in every time.
thanks for the reply. I did some searching and came across this page http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html and i hooked my phone up to my windows computer, copied the info verbatim to my ubuntu netbook setting up a manual connection like that page suggested and it says it connects, but my phone doesnt show anything is connected and it wont go online
I am able to tether just fine via my Dell mini9 running Ubuntu 9.10. Are you able to connect to other networks?
yeah i can connect to my home fios router just fine
FoxRacR17 i was having the same issues with my dell 1501 laptop.. Looks like your laptop might be using the bcm43xx chip-set from broadcom which doesn't support ad-hoc fully native yet on all cards.

I was having issues trouble shooting WMWifiRouter and Ubuntu.
I couldn't pin down if it was Ubuntu or WMWifiRouter which was having the problem connecting.. I could see the Ad-Hoc network in Ubuntu when i would try to connect it would just hang. I played with all the settings in WMWifiRouter to no avail.
Turns out it was my wireless driver.

I had to revert back to Ndiswrapper.. But it worked!!! Those having Linux issues check the driver.. I didn't have a windows box with wireless to check.. So took me longer hopefully this might save you some time!

Try Ndiswrapper from the windows drivers on HP's site. Let us know the results..
I'm having this problem with an atheros 5G chipset
Thanks for the replies guys, i got it fixed. I saw people saying to try the netbook remix version of ubuntu so I went ahead and installed it. At first it wasnt detecting any hardware drivers so it wasnt even giving me the option to install drivers for my wireless this time. But i went into terminal (with my ethernet cord plugged in and netbook connected to the internet) and issued "sudo apt-get update" and it went thru and downloaded a bunch of stuff that took a while, and then i went back to restricted drivers and this time I had TWO options for my wireless card, one that was licensed propitiatory from broadcom themselves labeled "Broadcom STA wirless driver" and one that was licensed as free and labeled "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" I installed the STA one and now my netbook connects perfectly to my hero and i can go online again thru my phone. Hope this helps you guys out
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.
Hey folks, i have a Dell Inspiron N5050 here, and it had no OS on it, so i put Windows 7 on it, and the wireless adapter is not recognized(doesn't show up in device manager). Obviously the driver won't install because the hardware isn't recognized by Windows(i got the driver from the Dell website). i was able to install the ethernet driver, so i can get online that way. I should also add that wifi works out of the box in Linux Mint booted off a USB stick. Also, wifi works fine on other machines with the same copy of Windows 7.
Linux will be my main OS, but does anyone know how to get Windows to recognize the wireless adapter?
The other thing i've noticed is that Network Controller doesn't have a driver installed, and the device is unknown and a driver can't be found,
I've definitely been scouring the internet as i always do, but haven't found the fix yet. Thanks in advance.
I got it working, the driver from Dell's website didn't work, it was a Broadcom i believe, but i found the driver for the standard Dell wireless card, and it found the hardware upon installing.
Hi all,
just want to keep it simple here.
Having issues connecting my Oneplus One to my laptop via Bluetooth. It can pair with it however it comes up with a yellow warning triangle and says it needs troubleshooting. Windows then says it cannot install the driver for 'Bluetooth Peripheral Device'.
Any answers at all?
Laptop: Acer Aspire V3-771g (Win 7)
Phone: Oneplus One 64GB
Thanks,
Michael
Same problem here.
Any help would be great.
Hmm weird i have had no issues with mine. On windows 8.1 here.
Why exactly do you want to be connected to your pc via Bluetooth anyways?
When I connect the USB cable to my Dell Precision M4800, I hear the 'device connected' tone, but then it immediately disconnects. It then proceeds to connect and reconnect at random, often very quick, intervals. Windows never attempts to install the drivers, and when I manually install the latest Samsung USB drivers, nothing changes.
Interestingly, the tablet says 'Connected as media device', but it is not showing up as storage in This PC. I think the rapid connect\disconnect cycles cause Windows to not even try to get a compatible driver, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
Has anyone else been able to connect a GT-8013 to Windows 10?
-------
FYI, running Gnabo Rom, KitKat 4.4.
----- EDIT -----
I have a Windows 7 laptop (Dell XPS 15) that works flawlessly with the tablet. Hooks right up with no fuss.
Win 10 no problem.
Sounds more of a cable or usb port problem .

I agree. The laptop makes the tablet and cable 'known good'.
Try other USB ports on the troublesome PC; try updating the USB drivers (including the hub) and chipset.
