Guest rsegoly Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hello, I have Samsung UMPC Q1 with XP on it. It has Broadcom Bluetooth chip 2045 I tried connecting external GPS receiver, but the PC claims there are no services on the receiver. I connected external USB Bluetooth device, and it can work and identify the services on the GPS receiver, it also work fine on my other laptop (Thinkpad), so I guess the issue is the BT drivers on my UMPC. Can it be upgraded? Where do I find the SW as its not on Boradcom Regards, Roni SAMSUNG BROADCOM 2045 BLUETOOTH 2.0 USB DEVICE VER 2.1.92.220

Microsoft's Bluetooth "stack" is "certified" for XP but only give a "very" limited Bluetooth devices (when using SP2.) Here is where to find the Broadcom BT software: http://www.broadcom.com/products/bluetooth_update.php and here is a "possible" patch to by-pass Microsoft's Bluetooth: http://nokiafree.org/forums/showthread.php?p=362531#post362531
