How to Connect Your Bluetooth Headset to Your Laptop or Desktop

[MrGrisnam]

than you it works!!!!!!

[marracute]

I would like to know a few things. Could you please help me?

I want to buy the Samsung HM3700 bluetooth handsfree that also convert to a stereo device to listen music. Do you know if that model could connect to a PC and if I would be able to listen to music wireless from my PC to the bluetooth device?.

Thanks for the great tutorial and for your help

[sccerstr09]

@marracute I don't know specific things about every single product. You will have to look it up.

[Sepharite]

Im using the Samsung HS3000 but it can't connect. Is there no drivers for it?

[sccerstr09]

@Sepharite I'm not sure. Are you sure your computer has bluetooth built in?

[Sepharite]

@sccerstr09 It does. I connect my Wiimote to it all the time. It connects to my phone no problem, not with my computer however. :(

[sccerstr09]

@Sepharite Hold on, so you're saying you're able to connect other bluetooth devices to your computer? If so, what devices?

[Sepharite]

@sccerstr09 Nevermind, I got it to connect to my sister's macbook. It seems that my bluetooth wonky. Thanks anyhow.

[DaHSuNnI360]

it is connecting but why i always have troubleshoot ? can you tell me why ?

[sccerstr09]

@DaHSuNnI360 It might not be able to find software online to go with it. As long as it works, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Barbican242]

[aspirianz]

can someone help me!!i will subscribe you back when you will help me..the problem is my laptop cant see my wireless bluetooth headset..i check all the options for the discoverable and read all the instructions..what's the problem?

[sccerstr09]

@aspirianz What is the exact brand and model number of your laptop?

[aspirianz]

@sccerstr09 Acer is the brand and the model is Aspire 4736z

[sccerstr09]

@aspirianz And you're sure your headset is in discovery mode? Is your headset still paired with another device?

[aspirianz]

@sccerstr09 my phone is connected to my headset about a while ago.so,maybe it is stiil paired to my phone.how will i disconnect it?remove the headset device in my paired list?

[sccerstr09]

@aspirianz Yes, that's a good idea.

[aspirianz]

@sccerstr09 I tried it and my laptop cant still find my headset device .what else can i do?

[sccerstr09]

@aspirianz I'm not sure. There is a possibility your headset is Bluetooth 3.0, which would make it incompatible with your Bluetooth 2.0 computer.

[ginchecline]

thank you so mch...it helps me...,GODBLESS YOU MEN.....

[XsNiPeRxXz]

Where is the Fn key?

[sccerstr09]

@XsNiPeRxXz Are you on a laptop? The Fn key is found on laptops only.

[MuzicRox16]

when i put Fn then F3 my computer goes to sleep.. help p[lease

[sccerstr09]

@MuzicRox16 What brand of computer do you have?

[MuzicRox16]

@sccerstr09 i got it i was pushing the wrong button the bluetooth button on mine is F6 but i doesnt do ANYTHING when i push it..... :/ i have a gateway NV53 model is MS2285 it has a bluetooth light and such and it has bluetooth in it i belive. i still dont know whats wrong i dont know if i need to install any drivers or not.. please help.. it will be greatly appricated

[sccerstr09]

@MuzicRox16 Google "gateway nv53 bluetooth driver" and click the first link which should take you to Gateway's website. There should be a download link for the Bluetooth driver. Simply download it, and then install it and hopefully the Fn and F6 key should work just fine.

[MuzicRox16]

@sccerstr09 the broadcom one? i downloaded it. could u help me install it? theres like 3-4 diffrent setup.exe files and such. :/

[sccerstr09]

@MuzicRox16 Read off what each of the files are exactly how they are put.

[MuzicRox16]

@sccerstr09 Win64 Win32 Custom Setup.exe license.dat btw.ico Autorun.inf

inside the win64 folder theres a whole bunch of stuff. i have windows 64 so im assuming i need that folder... inside the win64 one theres a whole batch of files a setup.eve and some onther .exe filed then theres 3 folders svcpack brcmwin7 and brcmVista and they have .exe files and stuff in there too

[sccerstr09]

@MuzicRox16 In the folder you downloaded that included the Win64, Win32, Setup.exe, license.dat, btw.ico, Right click on Setup.exe, choose Run as Administrator and click "Continue" or "Yes" and it should install.

[sccerstr09]

@oMoDdSs What says it's not plugged in? The bluetooth driver or the headset? What part in the video does this happen?

[teddleycarp6283]

it's works with the ps3 and my nokia phone and any phone like blackberry but it not works with the laptop

[sccerstr09]

@teddleycarp6283 Call Nokia. I don't have that headset, I can't help you.

[teddleycarp6283]

if you fixed the proplem tell me

[teddleycarp6283]

my headset model is nokia bh 109

[sccerstr09]

@teddleycarp6283 It looks like others are having the same problem with that headset model. You should call Nokia for more help.

[teddleycarp6283]

i connect my bluetooth headset on my laptop but when it try to install drivers it tells me no driver found what should i do

[sccerstr09]

@teddleycarp6283 I would Google your headset model and download a driver manually

[MeesBorg]

Okay thanks :)

[MeesBorg]

how can you do it with windows xp

[sccerstr09]

@MeesBorg As long as the computer has built in bluetooth

[sccerstr09]

@MicroCoreSystems Try typing it into Google. I don't have a solution. Sorry.

[ThedxRAMPAGExb]

i don't have a wireless laptop would it work is i used the wired connection and the wireless router can it work then

?

[sccerstr09]

@ThedxRAMPAGExb It doesn't matter if you don't have built in wireless or not. You need Bluetooth which is very different

[sgtbonsor]

very organized and useful

thanks man :)

[agranand]

thanks

[Dragonruler100]

1 person lost their bluetooth :P

[sccerstr09]

@izaeuh1231azyqnr Bluetooth hardware and software would be already installed if it came with your computer. If you don't have it, you don't have it.

[TheCODgodofHALO]

@sccerstr09 this may be a stupid question but what is a FN key?

[sccerstr09]

@TheCODgodofHALO The Fn key is built into most laptops keyboards, placed inbetween the Ctrl and Windows key. It means Function, and when you hold it down you have access to many different extra keyboard commands. For example, when I hold down the Fn key and F8 key, it will mute the speakers on my laptop.

[clayman132]

Is it possible to use a ps3 headset to connect it to a ps3?

[sccerstr09]

@clayman132 I'm not sure. I assume it will

[Player7052]

does this work with a headphone of Nokia?(it came with the cellphone).My pc is a toshiba satelite

[sccerstr09]

@Player7052 Yes it should work with anything. As long as your Toshiba Satelite has built in bluetooth

[dafranx]

I have difficulty pairing my jwin jb-th107 bluetooth headphones onto my pc, which is a windows 7, even though I have a bluetooth dongle, but it works on my iPod Touch 2nd generation. Please help me pair those two up.

[sccerstr09]

@dafranx Have you connected your headset to other computers/gaming consoles before?

[dafranx]

@sccerstr09 Gaming consoles, like what: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii? I have PlayStation 2.

[sccerstr09]

@dafranx Yes like a PS3. Let me rephrase my question, is this the first time using this headset?

[dafranx]

@sccerstr09 Yes, it's my first time using a bluetooth dongle, without it's disc software.

[sccerstr09]

@dafranx Ok, but is it the first time using that bluetooth headset? Not the dongle

[dafranx]

@sccerstr09 No, I've used my JWIN JB-TH107 bluetooth headphones with my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to listen to music before, but I can't pair it with my PC. It can't successfully pair with my PC with bluetooth dongle.

[sccerstr09]

@dafranx You might want to install the software from the disc.

[dafranx]

@sccerstr09 I don't have a disc for that bluetooth dongle; I just purchased that bluetooth dongle excluding a software.  What should I do?

[sccerstr09]

@dafranx Go to the manufacturers website and download the software there

[dafranx]

@sccerstr09 Will you recommend such software to me, please.

[sccerstr09]

@dafranx No, you need to find the software that is right for your device

[riosctr96]

alright sweeet 2 things poped up CR500 CR600 both say download should i download both:D

?

[sccerstr09]

@riosctr96 download the one that is your computers model number

[riosctr96]

i have a msi laptop :(( soo should i check there website oout



[sccerstr09]

@riosctr96 Yea they should have a drivers section

[riosctr96]

@sccerstr09 i went under downloads there are 2 options

option 1 search by key word it says quick to find drivers, bios,utilities ext...

option 2 is live update it says use the time saving service to update ur product with safe and ease

:( dnt wanna waste ur time but just been tryin 2 get this enabled for a month now:(

[sccerstr09]

@riosctr96 Option 1

[riosctr96]

@sccerstr09 option 1 i have to type somthing in do i type in bluetooth? or what my laptop device name if so idk how to check what name it is bc i dnt have box with me:( or is there somthing else i type in

[sccerstr09]

@riosctr96 You'll need to type in the model number of your laptop. When you get the ability to, on the bottom of your laptop there should be a model number somewhere.

[Rios96ctr]

Hi plz respond to this:D!!!! ive been looking for the Bluetooth enable button finally found it! but whn i click button to enable it says please plug in Bluetooth device. So i grab my bluetooth charger which is the USB cord so i plug it in and it still says the same thing:( :( :( please help me out whn i plug it in i have it in pairing mode or what ever it is and i try it wihtout always pops up same thing telling me to plpug it in please let me kno what im doing wrong

[sccerstr09]

@Rios96ctr Does it show you the message when you enable bluetooth? Or when you connect the headset?

[riosctr96]

@sccerstr09 after i try to enable bluetooth:(



[sccerstr09]

@riosctr96 Go to Acer's website, find your computer, and download the Bluetooth drivers for it. (The same thing happened to me)

[riosctr96]

@sccerstr09 i have a msi product should i check there website???????????????????

or is their somthing else i should download

[senatorbard]

I don't see my comment... So I'm reposting. I have the Jabra BT2070. Windows does not find the drivers. Can someone help?

[sccerstr09]

@senatorbard Go to Jabra's website and try downloading the drivers manually

[senatorbard]

@sccerstr09 already tried. don't have them

[sccerstr09]

@senatorbard Ok, well when are you getting the message that Windows can't find the drivers? Is it when you enable Bluetooth? Or when you connect to your headset?

[senatorbard]

@sccerstr09 When I connect the headset. The computer and the headset pair up. They find each other. But Windows does not find a driver to allow the headset to function

[sccerstr09]

@senatorbard Hmmm, that's strange. I'm not sure. When it connects try pressing the button on the headset, because sometimes Windows doesn't know what the device is, so if you press it it might realize that it's a headset and install it without a driver

[senatorbard]

@sccerstr09 I tried that as well. Windows knows its a headset - it has a headset picture and it says "Jabra BT2070". I think Windows just doesn't have enough drivers. What headset do you use? Are there certain models that are definitely compatible?

[sccerstr09]

@senatorbard If it adds it as a headset then it should work. Just right click on it and choose Connect so it connects it to it. And then make sure the program you want to use it with has the correct settings so it knows to use the headset as the microphone

[senatorbard]

@sccerstr09 lol - I'm tellin you man. It doesn't work. It's got a big caution sign and says "Needs troubleshooting". At 1:35 in your video, you say, "Now it's installing the device driver software". This is when mine has a problem. It doesn't find the device driver software.

[sccerstr09]

@senatorbard Ok well I don't know what's wrong. I use a Jabra headset too, I'm not sure about the exact model but it works fine

[senatorbard]

@sccerstr09 That's cool. Thanks. I appreciate the help.

[TheBlacky228]

[acerjojo12]

Dude!!!.... This was so helpfull... I had a bluetooth headset but i didnt know that you had to hold the butten to add the thing.

[sccerstr09]

@acerjojo12 Glad I could help!

[nkaujtshiab]

[sccerstr09]

@nkaujtshiab I'm going to make a video on what you can do, so if you want to subscribe and then unsubscribe when I get the video out (probably Friday) that would be nice

[sccerstr09]

@nkaujtshiab I will have a video that will hopefully help up in about 10 minutes. Will you be watching it?

[UniverseuYa]

where the fuck is the fn key?

[sccerstr09]

@UniverseuYa It is found on laptops. Specifically for my Acer laptop enabling Bluetooth it's Fn + F3. It will be different for every brand of computer.

[CODBlackOpsSNIPERz]

fn and f3 doesnt work, what else is there:L?

[sccerstr09]

@CODBlackOpsSNIPERz Click Start, Computer, double click your "C:" drive. Program Files (x86), Launch Manager, LManager. Then flip on Bluetooth

[MrSleepyboy10]

i have a acer laptop with built in bluetooth and i dont know how to enable ithelp please

[sccerstr09]

@MrSleepyboy10 Press Fn + F3 (I don't know what key it is, it's the wireless key)

[LadyArwenFC]

when i put my dongle in i get a blue screen of death

[sccerstr09]

@LadyArwenFC It must be a hardware problem with your bluetooth antenna. You could try reinstalling the driver.

[LadyArwenFC]

@LadyArwenFC dont know its new so it cant be broke just bought that thing

[LadyArwenFC]

i have xp so hmm



[LadyArwenFC]

but i didnt have a cd with it -.-

[LadyArwenFC]

its a genius BT-03A headset

[sccerstr09]

@LadyArwenFC Not sure what to say. Make sure you have all of the settings correct in Windows by right clicking on the headset, and choosing Properties or Settings. (Just mess around with that)

[LadyArwenFC]

mine wont stop blinking and i cant speak or anything i can only use it to hear it has a funny box that plugs into the port where your sound boxes go. now i am stuck -.-

[GuIISs3]

No, it's ok, i had to install the CD of the Bluetooth Key

[GuIISs3]

Hello, all Headset can work on PC or they are exeption because i can connect my Headset to my PC but he can't use it because he don't find the Driver, my Headset is originally for PS3

[lbs3663]

hey i did all that but mine wont connect it pairs and everything but it tell me that its off or something and wont connect

[sccerstr09]

@lbs3663 Try pressing the button on your headset, then it might connect. If it doesn't work just tell me

[lbs3663]

@sccerstr09 Just tried it I tried press the play button then I tried holding the play button then holding/Pressing the answer button but still nothing I have windows 7 and I have the S9-HD if that helps

[sccerstr09]

@lbs3663 You might want to check with the maker of your headset to see if it is compatible with Windows 7, and Bluetooth 3.0 (if 3.0 is what you have on your computer)
