Built in Bluetooth on Raspberry Pi 3 Windows IoT - adapter not found - bluetooth

I have a Raspberry Pi3 running Windows IoT version 10.0.14931.1000. The Raspberry Pi 3 onboard bluetooth adapter is supposed to be supported in this version of Windows IoT.
When I use the web portal to search for Bluetooth devices nothing is found, and my Raspberry Pi does not appear to be discoverable. When use Windows IoT Remote Client to connect to the Raspberry Pi and look at the Bluetooth settings it says: "No usable Bluetooth adapter can be found on this computer: The device is not ready for use. (Excep_FromHResult 0x800710DF)".
Is there something else I need to do to enable Bluetooth on the device?
I could try reinstalling Windows, but before I do that I wanted to know if I'm missing something obvious.

I reinstalled Windows (10.0.14393.0) on the Raspberry Pi 3 and Bluetooth is now working. I can only assume that because I started with an insider build that did not support Bluetooth it has got itself into an unexpected state.
If it was full blown Windows I suspect deleting the device and reinstalling it would have done the trick, but that's not an option on IoT.

When trying to connect Intel Edison BLE to CSR bluetooth dongle on pi I am getting disconnected immediately

I have done pairing of Intel Edison and pi bluetooth dongle successfully but whenever I try to connect pi from Edison I always get.
Connected Yes
Connected No
I am using bluetoothctl to connect
Try flashing an older version of the firmware. The problem seems to be with the recent update of Edison firmware.
The flashing should be done manually because, as far as I know, the wizard can only install the latest version (if you are using Windows, follow 32bit instruction on Intel website). If you found some easier way using the wizard, please share it. Thanks.

How to use TI Sensortag on Windows Desktop with USB 4.0 BLE Dongle

I have an Asus USB-BT400 Bluetooth Dongle, it works with BLE devices. I also have an TI Sensortag, i installed the drivers and software and I can connect my PC to the sensortag (using windows 7 or windows 8.1 in VM, both works).
Windows doesn't find drivers for the sensors (I think 8 in total) so I would like to know how I can communicate to them. I already exposed a COM port for the bluetooth device (that's possible via Bluetooth settings). I tried the BLE device monitor, where the COM port shows up, but it gives an error (no response from BLE host at port COM3). I also tried the windows Desktop app (win8), which doesn't work either.
I would be glad for any solutions, resources and hints which do not require me to buy the Dongle from TI website for ~50$.
Thank you!
I don't believe it works under anything less than Win 8.1 as the OS must have the BLE Profile drivers.
Running VM is not going to help, as you need those drivers at the base OS level.

Raspberry pi 2 IoT

I would like to ask how to connect GSM module pgsm-1 to Raspberry pi 2 running Windows IoT core. We are supposed to connect it to the RasPi 2 via pins RXD and TXD which are labeled as reserved by Microsoft now. How could we do that?
You could use any 'supported' USB-to-Serial adapter to connect to the GSM module. Altough the list of supported hardware offered by MS is a bit of a mess...
I use one with a "Silabs CP2102" chip, but it requires some re-plugging from time to time since it seems to freeze on Win 10 IoT Core...

Raspberry Wifi configuration

English is not my mother language, but I hope you can understand me. I have bought a Raspberry Pi 2. I installed Raspbian and I bought a Wifi too. This one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271857752471?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I'm new too use Raspberry and I've never use Raspbian and other 'Linux' distribution... So, my biggest problem is, that raspberry doesn't recognize my wifi. I've tried to download this package: http://driver.iigoal.com/drivers/SKU108764.rar
I've tried to do what is in the guide, but I can't... Perhaps can somebody write down a description (or a short video:)), how I need to do these things?
The WiFi adapter listing on eBay does not list Linux as a compatible OS, but it lists the driver as being Realtek RTL8192cu.
I researched a little about that driver in regards to raspbian and it should have two potential drivers. the first is built into the kernel/base installation. It's module is named 8192cu.ko.
A second option exists, though it appears to be a bit experimental that comes from an RTLwifi set.
Since this is a fresh installation, I would recommend starting fresh and ensuring that the WiFi dongle is plugged in during the Raspbian installation/first boot. This should ensure that it is identified and loaded properly.
If that does not work, I would recommend plugging in the rPi 2 with an ethernet cable and running updates to the system, that may help download anything it identifies as missing or old and other greater compatibility
Plug-in the wifi adapter to a usb port,open up a terminal on Raspberry pi and type
lsusb
it will display all the usb devices in the system.
if there is an entry for your wifi adapter then it is easy to make it work.
my raspberry pi work with hardware what you bought in eBay, without more configuration as: wifi-data in wpa-supplicant, if you use terminal:
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
and write
network={
ssid="NETWORK_NAME"
psk="NETWORK_PASSWORD"
}
this is normal rule for wifi configuration in raspberry pi

How to connect plantronics wireless headset to windows 8

When I try to connect my plantronics wireless headset via Bluetooth to my windows 8.1, I find that the device is not visible to pair.
Hence I am not able to connect to it.
I have made the settings to enable my laptop detect the bluetooth devices. Still its not able to search.
Try to install [Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Driver for Windows 8.1 ] LINK=>> 1 !
At least works fine on my HP-EliteBook-8570p with stereo "BlueDio 99B" headset. After switching the headset ON the Windows connect the device automatically, and switch Audio-Stream into new-attached device. Optimal!
PS - Unfortunately it is still the Problem with Windows 8.1 + Skype( MIC-Problem) :( Windows 8 is the first OS, than not support Skype at all! ;)
