Bluetooth services/better drivers?

**xraycat** · 03-18-2007, 05:40 PM

I bought a Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter (F8T001)

and have been able to install and connect to it fine. My problem is that it doesn't offer the bluetooth services I need like handsfree/headset connection and Activesync. The drivers I got were off of Belkin's website

Does anyone know if there are better drivers available that will allow me to use these services or am I stuck with these very basic ones.

Thanks.

That looks like something I had a few years ago. It was bluetooth 1.1 compliant, which means no handfree/headset support. Get a dongle that's at least 1.2 compliant.

Haha. Damn. Thats what I was worried about. The first bluetooth dongle I bought was off of ebay and turned out to be a cheap asian knock-off; it would allow me to pair (intermittently) but not allow connection to any services. I guess thats what I get for $10. I guess I have to make sure I know what I'm buying from now on with these things.

Thanks for the reply.
