Hi Guys, I've been trying to get this device to work for hours, and no matter what I do, I keep getting a messege saying the device driver software was not succesfully installed. Under Bluetooh Peripheral Device, it says no drivers found. Has anyone successfully installed the Belkin's Mini-BT dongle, and if so, can someone give me a step by step, how-to on how to do so? On my iPhone, under Bluetooth, it says that I'm connected to the PC, but on the PC, it says that the BT device needs trouble shooting, and it won't allow me to transfer any files to the iPhone. Really, the primary reason I got the BT dongle was so that I could use the iPhone's 3G service as an internet connection when I'm away from home. I'd appreciate any help.
Have you been using the system-included drivers, or drivers from an installation disc/download? I'm thinking they're not compatible. Are you on 7 64-bit or 32-bit? EDIT: I see they work on Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, which means they'll work with both versions of 7. Vista drivers should work with 7.Thanks for the response, PF. I'm not entirely sure about the 64 or 32 bit version.

Win 7 is completely new for me, and came preloaded as a Home Edition on an Inspiron laptop I just purchased. I've read that the Vista drivers should work with 7, but I've yet to get it to work. I actually found a tutorial online, and my phone seemed to be connected to the PC and vice-versa, but when I tried to transfer a simple text file from the PC to the phone, it didn't work, so I'm not entire sure what else to do to check that it is in fact working.
Cheers, Freddie. You can tether it (if it's jailbroken), use it as a wireless mouse/keyboard using certain apps on the iPhone-side, and a few other things. If you want a really easy way of putting files on your iPhone, download and install Dropbox on your PC and then the app on your iPhone. Any files you drop into the Dropbox folder on your PC will be synced to your iPhone automagically (and also any other PCs under your account), using Wifi or standard 3G/EDGE. It's 2GB for free, paid for more space.
If you tick the 'star' icon in the iPhone app for a particular file, it allows you to save it for offline viewing. Similar help and support threads Thread Forum Hello. I'm having an issue with this thing. It took me a long time to make it works, cause I was looking for right drivers.

Now I have problem, which was from start. So, the device works corectly, but I have some delays when I listen to music. I press start in music player (foobar2000. Hardware & Devices Hi, I just acquired a Belkin mini to use with my headphones.
Step 1 is to install the BT adapter. On the support website, it says that because I use Windows 8, I shouldn't have anything to install. But things don't happen like they're supposed to. It seems that when I plug the USB adapter.

So about a fortnight ago, my bluetooth keyboard (which is a Logitech Mediaboard Pro that has worked happily with Vista and 7 up till now) disappeared from Device Manager never to return. This keyboard is occasionally a bit temperamental and I do need to reset and re-pair it once every so often, and obviously after replacing the batteries. Never had any problems before.
Here's what I've tried/checked so far: 1. Checked the Bluetooth service is running (first thing I did check. It's fine.) 2. Tried with another Bluetooth dongle of the same brand/manufacturer (it happens to be a Belkin F8T016 Mini Bluetooth Adapter if that matters) 3. Tried with a Bluetooth dongle from a different manufacturer. Tried reinstalling Windows drivers from Windows Update, and from Belkin's website. Both install correctly and show the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator as working properly.
Tried pairing the keyboard with another machine - it works fine with my MacBook and my iPad. Tried searching for other devices in Windows 7's Add Device thingy for Bluetooth - can't see my iPad (should I be able to? Does it provide relevant services?) After doing all these things, the same thing happens - Windows seems happy and the Bluetooth is shown as ready and installed, but when I go to 'Add Device' it just sits there doing nothing forever. I've left it for 15 minutes trying to discover the keyboard, and pressed the reset button to enable pairing on the keyboard at various points in the process, but no dice. Any thoughts?
I have no idea what's wrong. Really would rather not do a reinstall of Windows from scratch just to make the damned BT work again if possible. Here's what I did to get Bluetooth working on my Win7 x64 laptop: I did download and install the (x64). Although I think this may be optional. It did not fix the problem and nothing played out as outlined in the link in my previous post. Then, I uninstalled the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software in Add/Remove and rebooted.
(Trying to do the following steps without uninstalling resulted in an error about 'there's a more recent version of Bluetooth installed, installation cannot continue.' And it aborts.) Then, I downloaded the from Broadcom and installed it. Download the bonez astronaut rar free full.
Took about 10 minutes to run and install. No reboot needed. Bluetooth working as expected - right click BT icon in taskbar, click add device, it scans and finds the device and requests to pair. Listening to tunes through BT right now. There are several Microsoft forums with people having the same problem - BT just wasn't well done in Win7 (it's across multiple computer types, not 'just a Dell' or 'just an Asus' problem).
