PC Bluetooth Connection

[migespy]

I searched before I posted so I apologize if this has already been brought up. I am trying to connect my GNEX to my windows 7 PC via Bluetooth. It can pair fine but when installing the drivers the last two labeled ' Bluetooth Peripheral Device' has errors. I am unable to transfer files to my GNEX via Bluetooth. I am also unable to to join the VPN for Bluetooth tethering. With my Bionic and DX I was able to link up no problem and transfer files and bluetooth tether. I looked for drivers but came up empty. Any help would be appreciated.

Seriously, no one has the answer to this? I, too, experienced same problem... and I'm sure many others have. If you guys above found a solution/got pm'd one, please share. Thanks.

+1. I can't get it to work either. Windows tells me it needs a driver that it can't find.

Working on it... Don't have a Windows PC available at the moment, but from what I read, Windows 7 should support this out of the box, no new drivers. Windows Vista would need an update. I searched MTP over bluetooth (MTP is the transfer protocol the Galaxy Nexus uses, other phones use USB Mass Storage).

My Thunderbolt did BT file transfers out of the box. Haven't needed to try it with the GNex, but I will tomorrow. The fact that the Thunderbolt had USB mass storage and the GNex doesn't adds to that theory, but I've got to try it too. ICS supports mass storage, but the GNex lacks an SD card so it can't take advantage of it.

I believe this is more an issue with ICS and it's bluetooth stack and drivers within the GN. I was able to push single files with an app but it would always glitch after the one file and need complete reboots to even try again.
