I've updated latest bluetooth drivers for Dell E5420

PC companion goes till, Starts Pairing with the codes in phone&PC. Installing major parts of the drivers fails and Companion doesn't approve the connection. Finish: Your phone cannot connect via Bluetooth at the moment

On Windows7-Bluetooth Device-phone-Properties-Services shows that:

**bleep**

ContentShare

Gen.Access&Atribut

SMS/MMS

XperiaLinx

drivers for these has been failed

but.via Windows Explorer Bluetooth- file transfer works.

SP: has FW 12.0.A.2.254

Any hints, please

To connect a phone using Android like Xperia SP to PC Companion you need to use USB or WiFi. Bluetooth will only work for some of our older models like W995.

Thanks, In matter a fact that is stated in the connection part. I just didn't read that - must say that I didn't even thought that this wouldn't work 😞 For me WLan option is out of the question 'cause of VPN connections.

Luckly found a solution.'MyPhoneExplorer'

-Install MPE to PC & Android

-Pair with Windows7 Bluetooth

-Show Bluetooth devices - your phone should be found

-Right click Properties-Services

-You should find line 'Serial port (SPP) 'MyPhoneExplorer' COMx -> Check the box

-You should see message about Com-port installation

Now you are able to select in MPE under Settings-Connection that Com-port and sync works !!!!
