  1. Can someone recommend a USB Bluetooth dongle that has good compatibility with Windows 10?


    Seriously. This is the third time I've posted and deleted because people keep trying to diagnose my computer as having problems. My computer is fine. I just want a recommendation for a decent Bluetooth adapter that's USB and fully compatible with Windows 10, not legacy.

    Please for the love of God, don't try to diagnose my computer as having a problem. If you can't answer my very specific question, simply don't reply.

    Please don't search Amazon and recommend me one. I could do that myself. I've done that myself. I've found that most of the ones that say they're good for Win 10 actually have janky ass older drivers. Yes, they work, but they're janky.

    I'm looking for a recommendation based on personal experience.

    I'm sure someone will get upset that I'm posting this in this manner, but no, I'm not being rude. I'm just wanting an answer to my question, not the one that people want to answer, which is what I keep getting. So I'm not being catty. I'm just being very clear on what I'm looking for. Not tech support. Not someone to search Amazon for me and tell me that so and so product says it's good to go. A recommendation based on personal experience.

  2. Bluetooth USB Dongle

    Ok so here's a question. I had a revelation today that: "Duh, my keyboard/mouse is bluetooth, shouldn't that be the same thing?" My goal here is to get my new Motorola HT820 bluetooth headphones to work with on my computer.

    Keyboard/Mouse is Logitech MX5500 Revolution, bluetooth wireless, came with a USB dongle that they connect through. I tried today to get the headset to work, and it won't receive sound. I can get it "connected," but with complications. I'm using Windows XP, have Setpoint 4.7, and I've tried the following:

    -Changed the radio settings to a bluetooth hub instead of locked to the keyboard/mouse.

    -Clicked "Connect Other Devices."

    - Paired headphones with windows. Windows connects correctly, the device reads connections, windows shows it as "already connected" when I try to connect it again. I click on Control Panel -> Bluetooth Devices, and I see the "Motorola HT820" listed as "Passkey enabled," but it doesn't say "Connected" like the keyboard and mouse do. Also, audio does play on the headphones.

    -Click on Properties on HT820, and then on services, it does not show any services at all.

    - Searched around google, logitech, motorola websites & forums to answers or help, nothing. Closet I got was logitech's "Bluetooth FAQ" which has the following paragraph (http://www.logitech.com/lang/pdf/bluetooth/bluetooth-faq.pdf):

    "3.6 How do I listen to music wirelessly with a Bluetooth headphone?
    All you need is a Bluetooth headphone and a media player such as iTunes or Windows Media Player 10. For optimal results, it is recommended you use a headphone with Bluetooth 2.0 Enhanced Data Rate, to benefit from the maximum bandwidth (up to 3Mb/s).
    Please refer to our online "How To" documents for step-by-step instructions related to your specific device (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto)." [That link transfers you back to the same pdf document - it's a circle]

    -I tried to install latest Widcomm stack from broadcomm's website, but it says it's not compatible with this dongle.

    -Called Logitech Tech Support - got a total jerk girl who straight up said "No i can't help you." And then wouldn't give me the time of day after that.

    I've read on threads on Logitech forum that people are using this headset with logitech dongles. Any help getting this connected? I just don't want to have 2 bluetooth dongles connected when I rly only should need this one. Otherwise I guess I'll just purchase one of the ones above, and use that to connect my keyboard, mouse, and headphones all in one swoop.

    Sidenote: anyone have experience/knowledge with behavior when 2 bluetooth USB dongles are connected to the same computer?

  3. Bluetooth USB Dongle

    Any recommendations for a good USB Bluetooth dongle? So far I have found:

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OQV3P6/?tag=tec06d-20 - cheap, and mixed reviews for compatibility

    2.4GHz Bluetooth v2.0 USB Dongle Adapter EDR for Windows Vista/XP/2000:Amazon - super cheap, generally good reviews, but I always question something this powerful thats this cheap

    Jabra A320s Bluetooth Adapter (Discontinued by Manufacturer):Amazon - a lil more expensive, but supposedly worth it

    I don't know tho. Any recommendations?

  4. Can someone recommend a USB Bluetooth dongle that has good compatibility with Windows 10?

    Vista Bluetooth USB dongle recommendations?

    the lack of suggestions is not due to working Vista solutions but the fact that vendors who provide Bluetooth dongles very selbomly clearly indicate in the sales packages or product descriptions what is the Bluetooth software their dongle is compatible
    with.

    I googled:

    bluetooth dongle using microsoft bluetooth enumerator

    and got many links like:

    http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices

    Maybe those will help you.
