Id love my blutooth to work it would be very handy , it worked once but thats it. tried reinstalling drivers but no joy it always shows phone as offline
Hey, I found the solution to my problem in Windows 8. Actually the culprit was Ccleaner. I had blocked the start up operation thru ccleaner and that was not allowing the Bluetooth to get connected.
Even if you don't have ccleaner installed you can check start up operation by opening the 'Search' from Charms and entering 'msconfig' and in the windows click on 'start up' and there see if 'BTtray' and 'btvStack' are running. They both are for Bluetooth connectivity.
Moreover, please note in windows 8 the paired devices (thru Bluetooth) show offline if there is no file transfer taking place. As soon as you start transferring the files it turns online automatically. A bit puzzling though but new things attract bugs
