I'm having a problem getting the Bluetooth dongle working, but my computer doesn't recognize it as a Bluetooth device. I got it in hopes of being able to use my Playstation 3 remote for my games, since I have Motioninjoy, and to use my Wiimote on my computer too. But it doesn't work at all. In fact, there isn't even a Bluetooth section in my Device Manager. I've tried to look online for answers, but everything I've tried doesn't work and I'm getting very frustrated. Can someone at least figure out why I don't have Bluetooth?

Remove the BT211 module. Install the drivers that can be downloaded from the link above. Shut down the computer. Plug in BT211 and turn on machine. The unit should be recognized and drives put in place to make everything work for you.

SOURCE: usb device not recognized, works only when plugged on hub
All PCs provides power supply via USB port. The power is controlled by electronic circuit. Sometimes when overloaded the circuit burns out (the last controlling transistor, actually). This does not prevent the data communication, because it is separated circuit. But if the device is not powered it cannot communicate. When you plug the USB device to powered USB hub, then all go right.
Are you able to use the USB ports with other USB-powered devices like USB sticks, mouses, cameras? If not, the mentioned circuit is burned out. If they work OK, then your internal USB hub provides less power current than needed. In both cases there is nothing to do. The circuit resides on the mainboard of the laptop and replacement is expencive. Use it with that external USB hub you have.
Testimonial: "that makes sense, although sad that i have to get a powered usb hub somewhere, although i wouldn't know which ones are powered or not, i have this hub that has 4 ports that wouldn't work so i assume that one's not powered. tried to look for small hubs but it doesn't say anything about being powered or not, it'll be quite expensive to buy and try as much as i can. can you suggest a small enough powered hub anywhere? thanks again :)"
you might need to install a mobile phone suite which is a program that will let you install a mobile phone to a computer this will have to be specific to your phone there are a number of phone suites nokia Samsung sony ericson to name a few here is a phone suite link hope this helps
