Is it possible to list out the bluetooth devices in the range with windows phone 7 programmatically. Also is it possible to do it with mango sdk?
There is no bluetooth API in 7.0 or 7.1.
You cannot write apps which work with Bluetooth devices unless you're an OEM or operator.
The answer is "Apollo". you need to wait till windows phone 8 is released.

I would like try to connect two devices via BLE classes and i found the following Website for reference
Bluetooth
And before i am starting with programming the classes i wanted to know if ist even possible to connect a Bluetooth 4.2 and a Bluetooth 4.0 device together?
Because of i have a MCU with Bluetooth 4.2 and a Tablet with 4.0 and i am trying to write an app to connect those two devices.
I've already tried to connect an Iphone with Bluetooth 4.2 to my MCU and this is working but with my Tablet i get the message "Connect has been declined by the other device" (i still try it outside of my app and only on the android System under Settings).
Maybe this is the totally wrong community but i've just wanted to give it a try maybe somebody has an answer for that
I am intending to connect a device 1 (in master mode, Bluetooth Ver 2.1) to a device 2 (in slave mode with Win CE 7 OS, Microsoft Bluetooth Ver 2.1).
Here I need the connection to happen without any user interaction and automatically accept the pairing on device 2 running WIN CE 7 OS.
On similar device 2 if running Windows 7 OS, this can be achieved by handling in BluetoothWin32Authentication callback function by "e.Confirm" of 32feet InTheHand.Net.Personal.dll API.
Could someone help in navigating to correct set of API's (if exists) to enable similar automatic pair accept behavior for Win CE 7 OS.
Will be very grateful for the guidance.
Thank you.
I've configured iPhone 4s as a iBeacon Transmitter and I've received data from my Android application. Now I want to configure my bluetooth 4.0 device in windows. Is that possible? I've googled it but I couldn't find anything.
Does your computer support Bluetooth smart ? Mobile operating systems including iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry, as well as OS X, Linux, and Windows 8, natively support Bluetooth Smart.
EDIT
Unfortunately it's not currently supported under Windows 8.1.
check this link Beacon Windows
The managed C# library WinBeacon can be used for this purpose. It implements a simple HCI layer that talks directly to the BT4.0 dongle through a WinUSB driver (instead of the default Bluetooth driver).
Does a normal Windows (8.1) PC have the ability to act as a Bluetooth LE beacon? If so, is there any software to enable that?
Update
More current answers here:
Beacons in Windows 10
Pre-Windows 10, Windows 8.1 in your case, doesn't support scanning or acting as iBeacon(s) nativly. However, you have some options:
Use the WinBeacon managed library (yes, I'm the owner). Replace the driver of the Bluetooth 4.0 dongle with a libusb/WinUSB driver and you're all set
Use a VM that runs linux with BlueZ stack
Use a RaspberryPI as 'detector' that hosts a WebAPI interface to your Windows machine
Switch to Windows 10
Bluetooth low energy or Bluetooth LE, marketed as Bluetooth Smart, is a wireless personal area network technology designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group aimed at novel applications in the healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries.
Mobile operating systems including iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry, as well as OS X, Linux, and Windows 8, natively support Bluetooth Smart.

I want to write an application that sends text from one device to another. How can I test it with an emulator on a PC? Is it possible with the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit?
Yes, it is possible, at least with version 2.5.2_01
Just launch the emulator 2 or more times, and the phones "find" each other
