[ACTIVE] Can't get XIM 4 to connect to CSR8510 bt dongle

[Titan]

My computer fully recognizes XIM4 and is connected, but XIM 4 manager will not connect. It keeps telling me Paired xim 4 not found [6]

[OBsIV]

Is this the only BT adapter you are using in your system?

[Titan]

Yes. I read that other people have been able to get it to work. Ever since the new update I haven't been able to connect my XIM 4 to anything. My android phone would not connect even after I cleared cache to bluetooth data. Now I have paired my XIM 4 to my PC but the XIM 4 manager won't connect. What's most annoying is that the XIM 4 manager program only takes about a small amount of time everytime to tell me it can't connect.

Do you have more than one Bluetooth adapter showing up in Device Manager?

Also, did you do a factory restore with the latest firmware on your XIM4? It sounds like some of the pairing link keys stored are bad (which would have been cleared on a restore).

[Titan]

Ok let me go over the process of what I'm doing. I just did a full factory reset on the XIM4 again. 

I click on add bluetooth device and find xim 4

i click next then it tells me

so I go look at the bluetooth device

Yup it's there
So then I open up XIM4 Manager

damnit...

however, open messing with my bluetooth manager, I found this:

notice how it says: Not connected.

How do I connect it? If it's already paired then what else do I need to do?
I've never used bluetooth before on PC so pardon me if i'm doing something wrong.

XIM4 is looking at the wrong Bluetooth device. How many Bluetooth adapters do you see in Device Manager?

[Titan]

I have 1, and it is just this bluetooth device. However, I also have a wireless adapter that might be causing the issue. I'll experiment and get back to you when i'm done.

[OBsIV]

It looks like you aren't using the stock Windows drivers either. I suggested uninstalling your Bluetooth device from Device Manager (choose to delete if you get the option). Then reboot and let Windows install its own drivers.

[Titan]

Hey OBsiV, I still can't get it to work. I tried disabling other devices and I still could not get it to work Any suggestions? Is there any way I can pin point it to use the bluetooth device I have?

[Aiken_Drum]

I hate to ask a dumb question, but are you certain the wireless adapter you also have isn't capable of bluetooth?  I wonder if the manager is selecting it because it's the first bluetooth-equipped device it sees.  Did you ever try pairing your XIM4 before you added the CSR dongle?

There is the wireless adapter I have, and no I don't think it supports bluetooth.

However, here is the bluetooth adapter I have

My problem is, when I start the XIM 4 manager it doesn't even seem like it's trying to connect, it just immediately tells me it paired xim4 not found. Which is really frustrating

My problem is, where do I get the stock windows drivers? I just uninstalled my bluetooth drivers but I don't know how to get the stock windows 7 bluetooth drivers...

[OBsIV]

They should just install automatically -- they are already built in.

Were you offered a checkbox that said something like "Delete drivers after removing device?"  You want to check that box or else it'll just re-install the drivers we're trying to stop using.

The stock drivers that automatically install when i plug it in only give me this file called "Bluetooth file transfer" which has no use. I don't understand how I don't have the main bluetooth driver even though it recognizes it

 Where am I supposed to go to pair my xim 4?
