How To: Fix Dell Truemobile 355 Bluetooth + EDR on Windows 7

One of the few problems that have really been giving a bad rap to Windows 7
users is the loss of proper Bluetooth Connectivity on Dell Laptops, specifically the Truemobile series. 
The cause is, unsurprisingly, a lack of Dell support – no updated drivers.  In fact, if I recall,
my Bluetooth wasn’t working properly on Windows Vista either, which the computer came pre-installed with. 
Since the problem is Dell Drivers, the solution is fairly simple:  Screw Dell, set it back to the
Windows Drivers.

Open up Device Manager.


style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Device Manager"
alt="Device Manager" src="http://tech.gtaero.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image_thumb4.png" width="500"
height="365" />

Once there, right click “Dell Truemobile 355
Bluetooth + EDR
” and click “Update Driver Software…


alt="Browse my computer for driver software"

You then want to “Browser [your] computer for driver software.”

device drivers on my computer" alt="Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
src="http://tech.gtaero.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image_thumb6.png" width="500" height="367" />

Then click “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer


style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Generic Bluetooth Adapter"
alt="Generic Bluetooth Adapter" src="http://tech.gtaero.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image_thumb7.png"
width="500" height="367" />

Select the bottommost
Generic Bluetooth Adapter” and then wait forever for it to install. 
(Yes, this one takes forever for some god awful reason, but it seems to consistently work).

href="http://tech.gtaero.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image8.png">Step 1 - FINISH! src="http://tech.gtaero.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image_thumb8.png" width="500" height="367" />

The next step is disabling the “Power Management” feature to turn this device off. 
(Since Dell has crappy driver support, this only helps to cripple the usage of Bluetooth).

Right
click your new “Generic Bluetooth Adapter” once the Device Manager refreshes.


style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Generic Bluetooth Adapter
Properties" alt="Generic Bluetooth Adapter Properties"
src="http://tech.gtaero.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image_thumb9.png" width="500" height="365" />
 


Click the “Power Management” tab in the properties dialog, and make sure to uncheck “Allow
the computer to turn off this device to save power
.”  Once you have done that, you
should be good to go!  No more Bluetooth Problems on your Dell =)

In this demonstration, I used a Dell Inspiron E1705, though this
problem plagues many, many other Dell Laptops running Windows 7.

    with my Inspiron 1525 with Windows 7 losing the connection to the mouse intermittently. It drove me crazy.

    I
    just applied it now. From what I read here, I won't have to remove and then add my BT mouse two or three
    times a day anymore.

    Thanks very much for the great post!!

  15. Thanks for this wonderfully clear solution, but I'm afraid it didn't work on my XPS
    M1730. The "wait forever for it to install" bottommost "Generic Bluetooth Adapter" actually takes a second
    only, and after unchecking the power Management "Allow..." box none of my bluetooth devices work (same
    situation as before your fix). Is it possible the generic adapter driver is not installing at all? Or
    could I be leaving something out which is not listed in your fix? I am not computer literate, so I would
    like you to know that after 12 months of trying to get my headphones to work, yours is the first solution I
    have been able to follow; most forums are so filled with acronyms and jargon that I am unable to even begin
    to follow them! Thanks again for the clarity, even if it doesn't work for me:)

  17. Apologies.  I only happen to know enough about computers in order to be able to really
    truly break them.

    This is simply something I attempted to fix my own problem that
    worked.  I unfortunately have no idea why or how it worked, just that it did.

    Wish I
    could be of more help.

    Please help.
    Right clicking on 'settings' in task bar doesn't open up setting, no devices found,
    no device list updation it does nothing and has been 14 months by now!

  28. You need to force your 1530 to see the bluetooth... use dell's patch R159805 (for a
    different model computer, but it works wonders!) That will get rid of the annoying press Fn+2 error you keep
    getting!

Unlike the traditional times, there are no more issues on what color you prefer even if that color does not suit your personality or gender. Usually, blue and black colors are for boys. On the other hand, light color like pink and yellow are for girls. Now, boys can already wear yellow clothes. And some girls also like dark clothes. Rechargeable mouse
