Default Pairing Win 7 & Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 via Bluetooth

Has anyone else tried to pair via Bluetooth a Win 7 PC, Ultimate Edition
if it matters, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T719, LTE edition? I can
link the two by USB cable, and copy data between the two, but now I have
a potential need to link the two by Bluetooth.

I authenticate between the two successfully, but then W7 complains that
it doesn't have drivers for three new devices labelled ...
Bluetooth Peripheral Device
... and that it can't find them by searching the web. There are no
drivers on the Samsung support page for that device:

Quite so, there's more than to it than having a Bluetooth receiver.
Bluetooth is just another wireless format. It's what's transmitted and
received that makes the Bluetooth device(s) work as expected.

Eg, I use a Bluetooth mouse with the Surface 2, but it doesn't work with
the W7 laptop.


why not?

if for some reason, the laptop doesn't have bluetooth, get a bluetooth
adapter.

The same is true of wi-fi. Just because you have a wi-fi on your device
doesn't mean you can use a wi-fi mouse with it, or stream content to
another wi-fi device, etc.


a wifi mouse is extremely unusual, however, streaming is not. if both
devices have wifi, then streaming will work the same as with anything
else.

It's like two people speaking different languages. If neither
understands the other's language, they can't communicate, even though
their ears and brains and functioning normally.


he said both devices have bluetooth, and was able to pair them.

[...]

I think you're SOL, unless someone has written an "unofficial" driver
and you are lucky enough enough to stumble across it. For that reason I
will wish you

Good Luck,


from his description, he wants to copy files over bluetooth, which is
slow and not a good idea. wifi is a *much* better choice for copying
files, ideally p2p wifi if it's supported.

however, it can still be done via bluetooth:
