More info?)
I haven't disabled any internal modems, do I need to do this?
I have already named my phone and my PC recognises it.
Everything works it's just that I didn't understand why these anomalies
(that I have already mentioned in my original post) are occuring.
Does anyone else have the Belkin FT8001 Ver 2 Bluetooth adapter? Do the
same things happen to you? Did you use the driver that Windows loaded?
Does anyone know if this adapter uses Widcom? What exactly is Widcom? I
have heard people say that Bluetooth adapters that use Widcom are a lot more
reliable.
Thanks!
