Hello! After upgrading to Windows 10, the “Management” item does not appear as in the picture http://bezprovodoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/56e853e6c0c496eae54c5be6-2
I installed the drivers from the manufacturer’s website. In the properties, it indicates that the phone supports these functions.
Can I fix this somehow? Thank!

Hello. Did the pairing devices go through? But, while the dialog for managing the connection does not start, right? I can assume that the problem is in Windows 10. Here is such a moment, drivers with Windows 7 will not work in Windows 10. Therefore, you need to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your laptop, find your computer model and download the necessary drivers, but which were optimized for work Windows 10. If there are none on the site, then your PC is simply not designed for Windows 10. In this case, just roll back the system to the previous version of Windows. In general, from experience I’ll say that a dozen is a raw product that will be finished for about a year. I recommend that you wait a year and only then update the system, and then only if there is support from the manufacturer of your laptop. For example, I have DV6 and HP does not release drivers for Windows 10, so I can’t upgrade, although Microsoft constantly offers to do this and says that the computer is suitable for Windows 10. Nobody wants to write drivers. Therefore, if Microsoft offers you to upgrade, it does not mean that the computer will work normally. Check on the official website of the laptop manufacturer if there are drivers for it under WIndows 10.

Hello. The problem is the same. All connections have passed. Connection codes are the same, connections are established, icons are active. Sending a file from the phone to the laptop does not work, it shows that the file was not sent. Notebook HP DV7 Windows 7. Even the antivirus was turned off (when the antivirus is turned on, Wi-Fi is not distributed from the laptop to the phone). I dumped files from phone to phone. It seems that the computer does not let.

The “Management” item as in the picture is also missing.

Wireless headphones are increasingly appearing in articles on our blog. And today I will show how to connect wireless headphones via Bluetooth to a phone running the Android operating system using the example of Xiaomi. Although the owners of any smartphones can use the instructions and then listen to music, the algorithm of actions is identical for Samsung, Huawei, Honor, Redmi and others. Despite the difference in the characteristics of the various True Wireless (TWS) models of the in-ear with a headset and microphone, they all connect to Android and iPhone according to the same principle. Therefore, this guide will also be universal for all types of “headset”, whether it be pathos JBL, Marshall Major, Sony, Samsung, Apple Airpods or inexpensive iFans, i11, i12 or Elari Nanopods with AliExpress. But the settings for listening to music and managing calls on the phone via bluetooth communications will differ depending on the modification, so for each of them we made separate articles on the blog pages.

How to turn on the wireless headphones?

Before you start using, let’s see how to turn on the wireless headphones. We will talk about connecting a headset to the phone, which works by the type of TWS (True Wireless) connection. This means that there are no wires at all between them. They connect via Bluetooth 4 or 5.0 both between themselves and with the phone. At the same time, only one of them, the leader, connects to it. And the second works through the first, creating stereo sound.

Therefore, when you removed the headphones from the box, you need to start by turning on and synchronizing them with each other. In different models, this is done in one of two ways.

  • Manually. This is an obsolete type in which you need to simultaneously press the function buttons on each of the headphones. After which they will connect with each other, and then it is already possible to connect them to the phone.
  • Automatically. This method is used on all wireless TWS headphones of the latest generations. The bottom line is that both modules are paired from the factory, and as soon as you get them out of the case, they are immediately connected to each other and ready to work with a smartphone.

What type is used in your model, you need to know from the instructions that come with the kit. But you can understand it even without it. If immediately after switching on a voice alert of the “Pairing” type is issued in them, then they are already synchronized.

Connect your Android phone to wireless Bluetooth headphones

The next step is to directly connect the headphones to the phone wirelessly via Bluetooth. To do this, activate the bluetooth module on Android. In the “Settings” themselves

Or just pull the top curtain and click on the corresponding icon.

In the list of “Available devices” we find by the name of your inserts. Please note that there will be only one name, although both headphones work.

We select them and connect. Then a message like “Headset is connected” will sound in the speakers. You can run any audio or track and listen.

How to turn on the second wireless earphone for both to work?

Another likely difficulty that users may encounter is the headphone mismatch between them. This is when one works with the phone, and the second does not. To correct this common error, you need to make a complete reset and pair them again. There is a separate article about this on our website.
