I hope I amposting this in the correct forum... so here it is

I have a Sprint HTC EVO 4g rooted phone, I am working with a dell lap top inspiron with windows 7 ...

IDK if this is posted elsewhere bc everyone has different hardware they are using. My question is faily simple and need advice so please if you can guide me.
I have the media share app so basically I can bluetooth my items from my phone to my laptop. ***BUT I have went under settings turned off debugging and tried and turned on debugging and tried. My lap top can't find my phone, I have also made my phone visible each time. Now an error code comes up and says somthing about a driver....can someone please advice me what to do next I want to connect through bluetooth from my phone to laptop so I do not have to use my usb cord, I am really not an idiot just need some help. You can email me any advice or put on here :)
Thanks for your time,
Nat
 
You shouldn't have to download a driver for bluetooth for windows 7. Have you ever installed HTC Sync? If you did, uninstall that, sometimes that messes with it.

What happens when you try to pair the phone with the pc? Does it give you an error? Have you tried deletingn the phone from the pc's bluetooth settings?
 
When I connect through usb cord, it says unable to install driver... I am trying to connect via bluetooth from my phone to my laptop. I do not want to use that cord.. so i am trying to figure out what the problem is ...
 
From what i have heard, I'm not an expert on Bluetooth, the Bluetooth stack for Gingerbread is not complete. I don't use Bluetooth, so i really don't know how this affects the operation. I'll try to find some time today and do a little digging, can't hurt to learn about this aspect as well.
Hopefully someone with Bluetooth experience will chime in. Sorry :(
 
Every connection with my laptop, and I have the same setup you described seemed to be resolved with a dedicated DATA cable.
 
As an alternative to bluetooth you could always check out the Samba Filesharing app. I personally have not used it, but it basically allows you to browse your phones SD card just like it was a shared folder on your windows network.

I assume for it to work you would need WiFi enabled on your phone and have it connected to the wireless network your laptop is on.
