Cannot turn bluetooth on. - Sony Ericsson Z550i Cellular Phone

You must turn on the tablet's Bluetooth radio before you can enjoy using any Bluetoothy peripherals. Here's how to activate Bluetooth on an Android tablet:

1. Open the Settings app.
   

2. On some Samsung tablets, touch the Connections tab.
   

3. Ensure that the master control next to the Bluetooth item is set to On.
   

   Slide the icon to the right to activate.
   When Bluetooth is on, the Bluetooth status icon appears. It uses the Bluetooth logo.

To turn off Bluetooth, repeat these steps, but slide the master control to the left, to the Off position.

You'll also find a Bluetooth switch in the tablet's Quick Actions.

turn both phone bluetooth and speaker bluetooth off. then turn them back on. the speaker's light should be flashing indicating its searching for a device to pair with. as its flashing make sure your phones bluetooth is visible and searching. they will pair and your phone will tell you and the speakers light should quit flashiing and just remain on.

Hi, There are a million reasons why this might happen (Nokia bluetooth is without doubt the flakiest thing on the planet). One thing that has worked for me on two different Nokia phones (particularly to solve the "continuous scanning" problem when trying to turn bluetooth on, is actually just to navigate to the bluetooth menu; turn it OFF (get the "bluetooth OFF" message) and then to turn it ON. Basically the firmware gets confused and this resets it.

Hi tran_dat_syc.

After researching all the information online, I found the steps to enable the Bluetooth Device in the Computer.

Please follow the below steps to enable the Bluetooth Device in the Computer:

1) From the Today screen, tap the iPAQ Wireless icon located
in the Navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.

2) On the iPAQ Wireless screen, tap the Bluetooth icon.

3) When Bluetooth is turned on, the Bluetooth LED on the front of your Pocket PC flashes blue.

4) To turn off Bluetooth, tap the Bluetooth icon again. When
Bluetooth is turned off, the Bluetooth LED turns off and no
incoming or outgoing Bluetooth connections are possible.

5) Battery Saving Tip: Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it.

For more information regarding to the Bluetooth Device, please refer to the User Guide mentioned below:

Hope this helps.

Please feel free to ask for further questions.

Hi,

Do you actually see the Bluetooth device in device manager? Normally if it's not turned on it won't appear in device manager. The next thing I can think of is that if the Bluetooth module was not turned on when you loaded the drivers then they won't work.
And lastly the module may have come lose or unseated from the slot. Are you absolutely 100% sure there's Bluetooth hardware on this laptop? Is this built-in or a USB dongle?

If built-in have you turned it on? Acer uses a slide switch to turn Bluetooth and Wireless LAN on and off.
The first thing you probably need to establish is whether the laptop has a Bluetooth module fitted. Plenty of Acer laptops support Bluetooth in some markets and not in others and actually have slider switches to turn Bluetooth on/off but don't have the Bluetooth module fitted.

Does the unit say that it supports Bluetooth on the sticker attached to the front of the laptop? The models that have Bluetooth typically have this listed on these and will also list it on the packaging that came with the laptop that lists its specs. If it doesn't mention it odds are it's not fitted.
Acer laptops have the Bluetooth buttons, but not always have the Bluetooth Module. Check the bottom white sticker for a Bluetooth symbol under the laptop. If you do not see it, there is no Bluetooth. Also, if you press/move the Bluetooth button, and the light doesn't turn blue, there's no Bluetooth module with your laptop (only the button), so your laptop did not come with Bluetooth.

Also, you can add Bluetooth, but you need to be able to take the laptop apart to a certain extent, such as taking off the cover (top portion), keyboard, and maybe the speakers. The Bluetooth should have a 4pin, 6pin, or 8pin Bluetooth Cable connected to a Bluetooth module. You need to purchase the Bluetooth module, and install it, but you need professional help for that.

In case your laptop won't have a Bluetooth module fitted. The switch doesn't mean anything, it's present on all Acer laptops whether they have Bluetooth fitted or not.

You can buy the module as a spare part from Acer and fitting it is easy however buying a cheap USB Bluetooth dongle will be a cheaper option.
