got an Mobile Action ma-700 and windows native bluetooth driver did not recognise it. I read that others have the same problem,
so here is a Fix that I came up with.

uninstall all Bl-software,

find bth.inf in c:windowsinf folder.
edit and write:

in [Manufacturer] section write:
Mobile Action=MobileAction, NT.5.1

and in section ---- Device section - Start ---- write:
[MobileAction.NT.5.1]
Mobile Action Bluetooth Adapter= BthUsb, USBVid_0DF7&Pid_0700

thats it,now it will find new hardware and install the windows bluetooth driver!!!

this must work with other brands too,just change name,PID and VID.
this can be found in device manager just when "new hardware is found"

hope I'll help somebody with this,searched a lot but found nothing.

Don't know bout the other thread but the thread you mentioned is about another issue - getting rid of XP SP2 native drivers. This here thread is about using unsuported dongles with XP SP2 native drivers, which is definetly another subject.

Excelent piece of information...Mate(!!!tdriver!!!). I've been looking all over the net to get that bt remote feature to work on my pc via MA-700.
Any idea if you can get HBH-600 working on XP. It's the bt handsfree for SE, and well windows does detect it but no services, i should have been able to use it as mic and headphone and stuff.


Thanks once again,

you welcome Ashat!
....at least somebody appreciate my findings....LOL.

I have the hbh 660, I think it need to have some real driver to work.
not only a .inf -file fix.
the driver need to tell the computer to redirect the voice signals.

it gets detected because it is bluetooth,but to work is another story.
if windows xp has drivers that work with some other brand,than maybe just changing vid's and pid's again is the answer.

don't bother with the windows xp builtin bluetooth support its just horrid use the widcomm suite it is perfect and will even let you use your headset on your pc. It's cool to use skype on your pc with your bt headset.

Hey yusufl are you sure that suite is for the ma-700 also, cause once i downloaded a suite for another dongle but it just won't recoginise the ma-700.


And tdriver are you able to use the hbh 660 with the pc? how are YOU doing it...


Thanks

I'm using HBH-600 with MSI Bluetooth dongle, using Widcomm on Windows XP, tried MSN - works ok, haven't tried skype yet, listening to winamp also works.

To do that, I had to get rid of the WinXP SP2 built-in Bluetooth stack, cause it doesn't support headset profile.

There is an easier way of doing it. You can replace windows bluetooth drivers with the ones you wan't, like this:

Try it, but I have to say it's not 100% sure to work, cause I don't know what drivers you have and how they behave

I tried it ones and I couldn't get it to work.
I didn't try any further,this isn't somethimg I really care about. (sorry)
cause I use the headset all day at work,don't want to "wear" it on my comuter at home too.
