Grayed out Bluetooth device

Hello

my Sony-Ericsson Bluetooth mobile is connected, but grayed out in the
Devices and printers > Control Panel Bluetooth devices section.
I use Windows 7.
When I connect my old Sony Ericsson phone, just before installing the new, everything worked properly;
I could even use it as a remote control (which is pretty awesome btw).
Help and all the details for the necessary info are greatly appreciated.

  • [Win8] Grayed out Bluetooth switch

    Hello
    I bought recently an ASUS K55VJ-SX176H and, unfortunately, I can not activate bluetooth function. Initially it yet showed the bluetooth switch in the category wireless settings.

    So, I ran "Asus Live Update", thinking that the new updates include the latest bluetooth driver. With no results, I checked ASUS website and installed driver Atheros BlueTooth (V8.0.0.214), who made the switch to appear, but grayed out. I tried the other two, and again, it was useless. I have down can't know what I can do.

    If someone could help me, I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Phil_Y.

    But I don't want to mess with the material already. Warranty is not finished yet, so I would consult rather Asus to do it myself.

  • Bluetooth monitor - power option grayed out

    I just got a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-163 and trying to set up bluetooth.

    It came with XP Home installed, but I formatted and installed xp professional.

    I had to install drivers manually and got most sorting

    There is always the network left of network controller in the Device Manager I have a feeling is the bluetooth because its nowhere else in Device Manager

    I have problems turning on bluetooth - I installed the bluetooth stack and bluetooth monitor

    Bluetooth monitor is in the taskbar - I right click on it and an option is a wireless link which does not seem to do anything. There is an option to power on and off, but the two are grayed out

    any ideas? I've rebooted etc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    A simple answer: you cannot use the Bluetooth because the Bluetooth device is not available on the Satellite A100-163.

  • Android Bluetooth paired with my laptop that Bluetooth was grayed out (NOT the ability to Exchange files)

    Hello

    Connection Bluetooth to an Android mobile with Bluetooth in HP laptop has failed

    I followed these steps to pair the Bluetooth to my HP laptop and the other Bluetooth Android.


    First: I clicked on "Add" device "." Second, the Android mobile Bluetooth showed up. Then I connected to it. After that, "Comparing matching Codes" shown to me. (Screenshot below)

    Next: The user of each Bluetooth accepted us as confirmation. Finally: The pair has been established well. (Screenshot below):

    Although Bluetooth Android was paired with my laptop HP My Bluetooth successfully, the Bluetooth Android is grayed out on my my list of Bluetooth mobile phone as shown in the screenshot below:

    Whenever I clicked on the Android Bluetooth listed in my Bluetooth devices, I don't got no control Bluetooth shows me (NO way to send files from Android Bluetooth appears dimmed) also, whenever the user who has the mobile phone android trying to send file in my laptop Bluetooth paired with its Bluetooth Android, it has encountered an error in sending do not file.

    Although the Android Bluetooth is enabled to be detected by other Bluetooth devices.  If there is a problem with my laptop Bluetooth, then I would be facing the same problem with connecting (pairing) my laptop Bluetooth with Nokia Bluetooth.

    Second: A Nokia mobile with the computer HP Bluetooth Bluetooth laptop was successful:

    I followed the same steps to connect Nokia Bluetooth for my laptop Bluetooth, and he was successful.

    Then windows checked drivers for Nokia Bluetooth.

    Hello

    More details would be appreciated.
    What model phone you have and what system is installed on this laptop?

    If the laptop supports Bluetooth and if you have not changed anything in the configuration, you should be able to activate the Bluetooth using one of the function keys.
    Please see the user manual that affects function would enable the BT

    Also new driver BT / battery installation would be necessary in the event that the BT connectivity would not work as it should
    Atheros WLan / BT card requires the installation of the filter driver Atheros BT package.
    It is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver.

    Of course, depending on your Windows system, other software (VAP for Win 7 or a system driver to Win 8.1) must be installed too.

  • RAW Device Mappings is grayed out

    Hello everyone.  I'm a noob EXSi/VMware, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone.  I have a Supermicro motherboard with an onboard SAS controller which is supported in EXSi 6.  I have eight 4 TB drives, attached to the SAS HBA and 2 connected to the integrated SATA SSDS.  I was able to add all readers as warehouses of data and that works very well.  But I need to devote several full discs on a virtual computer and I have not been able to get this working as RDM option is grayed out any virtual machine, I try.  Tried to remove one of the hard drives for data warehouses (missing) but I still don't see it as an option (and now I can not see it when I try to add back as a data store but that's another issue).

    I did research on this question and I tried to disable the RDMFILTER option in the advanced settings and no go.  I tried to run the process in article KB 1017530 (Raw Device Mapping for Local storage, I get the following error:)

  • Why save for Web and devices is grayed out?

    I have Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X Lion mountain. PS works fine, until today. On some images, I work with, file > save for Web and devices is grayed out. In addition, to save money, the options are extremely limited. It is obvious that I inadvertently clicked on something that caused this, but I just can't understand that.

    I took a screenshot of Photoshop with a test image (test.psd), whose resolution is 72px, RGB, 32 bit, appearance save for Web and devices greyed out. And a screenshot of the Save as dialog box.

    Is the first screenshot to http://eastbrookwind.com/screen-shot.jpg

    I am confused and appreciate much help!

    Right. You work in 32 bits per channel. Change your bit depth.

  • Left/right rotation is always grayed out in the device Simulator

    If I run my application in Air Debug Launcher (Mobile), "turn to the left" and "turn right" options in the menu of the device are still grayed out, regardless of whether the publication settings have enabled auto-orientation. This is what prevents the orientation test code. Anyone know a solution?

    More, I found (via a textfield, the current focus of the statement) that my AIR application does not throw the guidelines 'default' or 'upside down' on my device (Asus Transformer to infinity). Only, he throws "left turn" and "turn right". Anyone know of a solution for that?

    Thank you!

    The rotation buttons are enabled only in 'ANY' l report mode / h and auto guides set to true. For other values of aspect ratio, the orientation of the stage must stay in one of the directions specified by the aspect ratio and therefore should not turn.

    There are a few possibilities: the SaveForWeb plugin is missing, the document is not 8-bit RGB or the document is much bigger than SaveForWeb can manage.

  • Check out Get the address of the Bluetooth device list

    I have two series Bluetooth devices both send numbers to pc.what I want to know is how to get the address of the list of devices Bluetooth discover bluetooth device then use to connect to the first device read data log and connect a second device.

    Hello Aymanch,

    The Bluetooth Discover VI will be released a cluster with devices within the range of your network, where a feature will be the address and the second part will be the name of the device. You can then use the address as an input for the VI of open connection and then pass this reference reading VI and close connection VI.

    If you want to see an example of how to get the address of the cluster and how to use these screws, please open the example Finder and search for Simple Bluetooth project. The Server.vi shows how to unbundle the cluster and the Client.vi shows something similar to what you want to accomplish. Because you are going to use two devices, you can even use a loop to repeat the operation on the two addresses.
