Here’s how:Ĭheck in quick settings: Select the Network, Sound, or Battery icons ( ) on the right side of the taskbar, look for the Bluetooth quick setting, then select Bluetooth to turn it on. In Windows 11, there are two ways to check if Bluetooth is turned on. If you're using a laptop with a physical Bluetooth switch on the body, make sure it’s switched on. If you’re setting up a new device and Bluetooth is missing, check the product specifications to make sure it has Bluetooth capabilities.
Before you startĬheck these things before you start troubleshooting Bluetooth on your device: Check your product information I do not believe there to be a problem with the code, but with the drivers of the devices.Note: For general info about how to connect a Bluetooth device to your PC, see Connect a Bluetooth device in Windows. I have tried using Windows update, and that fails, I have Samsung Kies installed, AND I have verified the problem on two separate computers - both running Windows 7 圆4īTHENUM_LOCALMFG&000f Since it is not my code, I started looking an there is a driver missing on my computer: "Bluetooth peripheral Device" - the error code The drivers for this device are not installed.
They will PAIR fine, but when I use the bluetooth code to connect I just get an IOException: Service discovery failed I have tried the Motorlla and the entire app works as expected.īut now the Galaxy phones (both Gio and S2) refuse to connect with any computers. The OTHER part of my app, cannot be done on the Netsurfer because it is too low spec (it actually doesn't have the required hardware). It uses standard bluetooth drivers and it works PERFECTLY - I can receive the signal on the PC and deal with it perfectly well. I first wrote the bluetooth side (since that was what I had the least experience in) - and the only device I can get to work is the Netsurfer touch. Now I have written my app - I need to test the complete structure. Netsurfer touch (A REALLY low end locally produced android tablet) the main part being that it communicates via bluetooth. I have written an application for Android.
