Windows 10: using pc as bluetooth headset for my phone

/u/igotaminigun · Aug 14, 2020

So basically a while ago I had my phone connected to my laptop via bluetooth ( I used the "Your phone" app) and I could listen to music I was playing on my phone via my computers headset and it was super useful. Then I had some issues and had to format it.

Now I've tried a lot of things, did the exact same thing as before but it simply won't play the audio anymore.

Does anyone know where to change that? I gave the premissions on my phone and enabled it on the laptop ( I think at least).

Use this PC as headset bluetooth

Hi,

I've been trying to setup my new laptop which is Dell XPS 15 (9550, i7, FHD, Broadcom WiFi + BT) running Win 10 Home Edition, to pair my android cell phone and use the laptop Mic and Speaker act as bluetooth headset, however been searching around on google and some said this features only exist on Pro and Enterprise version of Win 10, so is that true?

If it's not then may I ask if anyone has success on doing so?

I am able to pair it but the option to use pc as bluetooth headset isn't exist.

Thx!

Bluetooth headset is not working consistently

Hi Adarsh,

We have read your original post and found that the issue might be more related with the device, rather than your WiFi connection. To clarify this, and to better understand what's going on, kindly answer the following:

Since you mentioned "the wi-fi problem didn't exist" in your original post, does it mean that you are unable to connect to your WiFi? If you are able to connect to the WiFi with no problems, it means that there isn't a WiFi problem with your PC.

AD: The wifi problem was not experienced (additional information: the range of wifi access was also more i.e. the connection used to be intact/stable even when the distance from hotspot used to go high, i.e. when the laptop used to be kept farthest end;
that range of wifi connectivity went down immediately after upgrade) till i didn't upgrade the OS to Windows 10.

Have you tried connecting other Bluetooth devices to your PC?

AD: Yes, the mobile phones (windows 8 and android) have been getting connected (when attempted for) but as you may agree duration (and frequency) for which mobile phones and bluetooth headsets are connected vary (because i need to connect mobile phones very
infrequently whereas bluetooth headset i've to use much frequently and for longer duration everyday).

Have you tried connecting or pairing your Bluetooth headset to a different device? Perhaps another computer or a mobile device?

AD: It shows paired every time the suggested steps (and in past when i checked as the bluetooth connectivity was troublesome) are followed and when i press the button on headset the paired status (as expected) change to connected. From here onwards my problem
starts (which i posted at the time of opening the original ticket). I would be glad to provide additional information, if it helps you somehow.

Kindly go to Start > Settings > Devices
> Bluetooth & other devices. Does your Bluetooth headset show up under the list of devices? If so, is it showing as
Paired or Connected?

AD: No, i didn't as i don't use it for extended period and that frequently.

In the meantime, we suggest following quick troubleshooting steps found in this
support article on how to fix Bluetooth problems in Windows 10 and refer to the following sections:
