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

>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 !!!!

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.
