I was wondering if anyone has managed to get this working. I have a TyTn and am using a kensington dongle with the latest widcomm drivers. But to get my computer to pair with my phone WITH activesync as a feature is nearly impossible and there is no way to connect with WDMC, through USB it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated

Same problem with me...
And I can't also connect to Internet when I'am synchronized with Windows Vista Ultimate...
Help, please...
Internet is working now... Windows Mobile Device Center update: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ea-9df9-4920-af33-3a0e2e4e7beb&DisplayLang=en.
But my problem with Bluetooth remains...
Hi
I am trying to use my orbit 2 on O2 as a modem.
Bluetooth works! but it does not work when i plug my usb in.
i have active sync running and when i connect on internet sharing and plug usb in it disconnects from active sync
any ideas
cheers

Its supposed to disconnect activesync, then re-connect as a ~network card, it will need to install some drivers first time round.
check in the network connections and see if its added a new network using a "Remote NDIS based Internet sharing device" if it has it should be working fine.
If not check the device manager as see if its installed the drivers properly.
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.
Is there a download with the old bluetooth stack that I can install over the one in my rom? I am using nueroms latest titan rom but my Redfly wont connect because it keeps saying "turn on bluetooth" before authorizing.
try the link to the Definitive Guide to Bluetooth Services in my signature...
it has 2 stacks.. microsoft and toshiba
If I am not mistaken, those bluetooth stacks are on the PC side of things?
I dont have the need to sync with a PC. I am trying to connect my redfly to my phone. this worked fine with older roms but doesnt with newer roms. (it keeps saying turn on bluetooth when it is) Other than that issue bluetooth works fine with other bluetooth hw. (headset, pc connection)
Any other suggestions?
Thank you for your replies.
Hi all
I've had my N5 a couple of weeks now, and it's working nicely, except for getting bluetooth and USB tethering to work smoothly. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?
I can connect the phone to my laptop via USB (I'm running W8 x64, for my sins), and use MTP and PTP without a problem. Selecting USB tethering results in the phone saying "tethered", but nothing appearing in the list of network adapters.
I can pair the phone with the laptop, but the only services that seem to be offered are file-transfer and audio stuff.
If I enable USB debugging, the network shows on the laptop, and seems to work OK for a while. Sometimes the phone wants to reboot while doing this (typically after a couple of minutes).
Interestingly, Device Manager shows the phone as a Nexus 5 under the 'Other Devices' category only when USB debugging is enabled, otherwise it displays as 'ADB Device' only if 'PTP' is selected, and the phone is absent when 'MTP' is selected.
I'm guessing that this is a driver issue of some sort (I hate Windows), and have had a go at installing the LG United driver, to no avail. Any pointers gratefully received.
Cheers

I'm having issues tethering with Windows 8, both wifi hotspot and USB tethering. I can connect and it will show up as internet connected then just die. Connection even goes on my phone.
However when USB tethering with OS X all I had to do was download a package from here http://joshuawise.com/horndis, after that it pops up straight away and I don't have any problems. Can tether for ages no problems.
Will probably try a custom rom soon see if it is to do with the Nexus 5 stock rom.
Hi Charlie,
I'm having the very same problem. With my Galaxy S3, I would tether (via BT, as it was a fast connection that didn't drain my battery like WiFi hotspot!) all day long with a Win8 ultrabook. Worked brilliantly!
Just picked up a Nexus 5 last night. My Nexus 7 tablet can use the phone's internet no problem, but my Win8 machine gives no such options. All I have is a "direct connection" service visible to the laptop, I suppose for file sharing.
Has anyone made any progress on this issue at all? It seems that the problem lies with Windows8. It boggles my mind why the Nexus 5's BT tethering implementation is so different than the GS3's...
Progress report: it seems I have tethering over BT working!
I've tried a bunch of different things... the challenge now, is to figure out what it was that worked...
I would try this first: remove the Bluetooth pairing between your PC and your Nexus 5. Ensure that "Bluetooth Tethering" is indeed checked in "Tethering and Portable Hotspot" menu (under Android settings) BEFORE pairing. That might be what I did wrong, in fact.
I restarted my PC, and voila, when right-clicking on the phone pairing on my PC, under the "Connect" menu, suddenly there's an "Access Point" service visible.
I'm pretty confident the above might fix you up.
[PS: If not, the only other thing I did differently when I first tried, was I paired the phone through Win8's buried bluetooth devices menu (avoiding the alternative MetroUI interface at all costs, as I normally do). I don't see any reason why using either UI should provide different results, but hey.]
