Hi NG,

did some one know if the Motorola Bluetooth HT820 Headset needs some
special Windows Vista (32 Bit) driver to function ? Or is there anyone
who had this Haedset and use it with Windows Vista Ultimate ?

I was able to get my HT820 working in Vista 32 Business using the latest
'Toshiba Bluetooth Stack'
(http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php) on my Dell
D610.

Here's what I did...

Open Bluetooth devices, select Motorola HT820, Properties, Services.
Verify that the Headset box is checked. (Mine was not). Save and
close.

Open Control Panel, Sound, Manage Audio Devices. Mine showed "Speakers
Bluetooth Handsfree Audio", "Bluetooth Stereo Audio", and the system
speakers. I selected "Bluetooth Stero Audio" as my default and disabled
the system speakers. Tested out OK.

My hardware is a Trust 15542-02 Adapter with Broadcom Bluetooth 2.0 EDR
USB Dongle, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, and Windows Mobile-based
device support (For my Palm)

Hope this helps!

hello Prometheus, thank you very much for the explanation, the only
problem is that I can't seem to find the file
_Vista32(64)_BTW6.0.1.3400.zip_ on the website
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=driverfile&dno=5286&i=0
do you think its been removed? its a bit? or do you still have the
file(driver) and can upload it somewhere? If anyone else does I would be
greatful
thank you

I don't think the problem is about HT 820 Bluetooth but any brand of
headset. I never thought after 2 days of searching on various threads
that i could actually found the solution. I tried various "worked"
solutions and it didn't work for me. Finally, I search and found out
there is something called Bluetooth driver for Vista. I downloaded it
and it worked. The only thing is, you may have to pay for it. The
reason why you may depends on which version you get.

http://www.bluesoleil.com/download/

Bluesoleil v.5 is free (because it didn't require serial #), Bluesoleil
6 does and it costs like 20 euros.

Since I'm using Bluesoleil 6 (Due to a product called Bluesoleil VOIP
required v.6), I'll show you how I did it.

1. download Bluesoleil 6
2. extract and find the file "setup"
3. double click setup file and you are on cruise control
4. for v.6, they will ask you for serial #, so if you want to use v.6,
pay up, otherwise, try v.5

When I plug in the BT adaptor, it ask to search for driver and it was
successfully identify the driver and "happy ever after"

I use a regular BT headset for mobile phone to pair it with my computer
so I can use Skype, I broke 2 corded headset so it was something I
really want.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T WORK OR KNOW ANYONE AT BLUESOLEIL. My suggestion
with this Vista/BT driver problem is to dump Vista and go Window 7... I
hate Vista and yes, I dumped all my Microsoft stocks long ago.

You can't just click on the the URL Prometheus provided. Go to the MSI site,
go to Technical Support, Latest Driver Downloads, on the right, under the
Type 2 method of searching for drivers in the drop down, select
Communication, Bluetooth, Data Transmission, STAR KEY, click on Driver when
the product description comes up, scroll down the screen to download the
Vista driver 32 or 64.

Put all in the rubbish; Vista drivers, Windows Drivers, Motorola
Drivers, Blue Soleil paying soft, etc.

Toshiba "Bluetooth Stack" works perfect with Motorola HT820 Headset
even in not toshiba notebooks. As I could see on some forums.

Motorola is great, I am very happy,
And I very much apreciate Toshiba great soft and laptops.
I like good free software.

And testing it couldn´t be worse than what we were doing.

My laptop is a Philips Freevents (yes, it almost doesn´t exist)
And Motorola HT820 works fine and easy with TOSHIBA DRIVERS.

I´m using Windows Vista 32 bits home

I could not get to activate the microphone for using it with Skype, but
as headset it is OK.

Go Get drivers at Toshiba Website
v64000T_20090324_x32.exe (bluetooth stack)
BtSw_v5v6_FP1.exe (patch)

Thanks to this great forum

Para los que aun no se dieron cuenta de que soy español, solo quiero
decir que los auriculares Motorola HT820 funcionan perfectamente en
Vista con este gestor de bluetooth aunque tu ordenador no sea Toshiba.

I have a Dell XPS sudio laptop and all I had to do was set my headphones
(in the sounds area under control panel) to the "Default". So if the
headphones are on they get the sound, if they are off, then the speakers
get the sounds. I didn't need to do anything else.

I would like to thank the people at this forum. I have been trying for
about 1 year to get my Motorola HT820 Headset to work with any of my 3
Toshiba Laptops. I couldn't get my Audiovox XV6800 Cell Phone to work
either. I could hook up my Cell thru the USB cable but not thru the
Bluetooth. I could get a couple of other Bluetooth Gadgets to work on
my laptops but not the Cell Phone and the Headset. I recently
downloaded and installed new drivers from Toshiba for Bluetooth in
Windows Vista. These drivers seemed to do nothing towards fixing the
problem on any of my Toshiba Laptop Computers.

Tonight I downloaded the Drivers from the Toshiba Link provided by
*mssidah* http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php. Well,
the great news is that it worked! Not sure why they have so many update
sites available as this was a different site than the site I downloaded
from before. Anyway, it's working and I wanted to thank you for the
support!
