title: Samsung Galaxy bluetooth drivers
body: <p>I have written an application for Android. the main part being that it communicates via bluetooth. I have four devices:<br/>
  1. Samsung Galaxy S2 <br/>
  2. Samsung Galaxy Gio<br/>
  3. Netsurfer touch (A REALLY low end locally [South Africa] produced android tablet)<br/>
  4. A Motorolla ET1<br/></p>
  
  <p>Now I have written my app - I need to test the complete structure.</p>
  
  <p>I first wrote the bluetooth side (since that was what I had the least experience in) - and the only device I can get to work is the Netsurfer touch. It uses standard bluetooth drivers and it works PERFECTLY - I can receive the signal on the PC and deal with it perfectly well.</p>
  
  <p>The OTHER part of my app, cannot be done on the Netsurfer because it is too low spec (it actually doesn't have the required hardware). I have tried the Motorlla and the entire app works as expected.</p>
  
  <p>But now the Galaxy phones (both Gio and S2) refuse to connect with any computers. They will PAIR fine, but when I use the bluetooth code to connect I just get an <strong>IOException: Service discovery failed</strong></p>
  
  <p>Since it is not my code, I started looking an there is a driver missing on my computer: "Bluetooth peripheral Device" - the error code <strong>The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have tried using Windows update, and that fails, I have Samsung Kies installed, AND I have verified the problem on two separate computers - both running Windows 7 x64</p>
  
  <p>The hardware id's are:<br/>
  BTHENUM{00001132-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_VID&amp;0001000f_PID&amp;0000<br/>
  BTHENUM{00001132-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_LOCALMFG&amp;000f<br/></p>
  
  <p>I do not believe there to be a problem with the code, but with the drivers of the devices. But if you need code, I am using the code found here:
