Connect Vega to PC via Bluetooth?

[Guest telthenipper]

Hi Guys,

Received my replacement Vega (the first wasn't working) and I'm am well happy with it. The thing is tho' I'm trying to pair it via bluetooth to my PC (Windows 7 with a bluetooth dongle). I can pair it, but on the Vega, it says that it's paired but not connected, on my PC the icon is greyed out. Do I need any kind of drivers for the Vega or am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

that's normal.

you don't really need any drivers(yet), but unlike most devices android devices have no default bluetooth function.

to actually properly connect you need to install an app that makes use of bluetooth, and run it.

I agree with Dice but if you wanted to just copy files from your PC you should be able to go Windows Explorer now and right click on a file and use SEND option to go to Bluetooth Vega device. Not quite sure which directory on the Vega it'll go to probably 'Downloads'.

It goes into a folder called Bluetooth. :(

Thanks guys for the answer. It says on my Vega that it's paired but not connected and when I try and send files to it from my computer, my Vega doesn't appear in the send to list. It would be great if there's a way to send files to the Vega via Bluetooth, it'll save me having to get my USB lead out every time I want to transfer files across.

you can also do what i do:

make a shared folder on the PC, and open it through wifi on the tablet with a network-capable file browser such as es file explorer.

works a lot faster.

Many thanks mate. That ES File Explorer was exactly was I was looking for.

Happy New Year
