octiceps Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Bluetooth on this laptop is completely broken. Switch your accessories to wireless ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de-zwaluw Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It has probably been answered elsewhere, but since we're on the topic of crappy bluetooth support on this laptop, has anyone tried swapping the default Wifi module for the Intel 7260 with BT? Does it solve any problems? I'm planning to put the 7260 into my laptop (mainly for ac), and although I don't care much for BT, it would be nice if it actually worked.

Yes the Bluetooth issue is well-known and has been beaten to death. Unfortunately, there is so no known solution so everyone is just dealing with it. I recall reading that someone swapped out the default Intel 2230 for the AC 7260 and the Bluetooth problem was still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savas Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 i noticed that when i installed the drivers, the bluetooth switch ON/OFF appeared in the settings, but when i restarter the pc it dissapeared. It makes me think that the pc kills the drivers. WTF? how and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try uninstalling the Intel Bluetooth driver and using the generic Microsoft one that came with the OS. I know for a fact that it doesn't suffer from the same problems, but your Bluetooth devices might not work properly without the Intel driver.

octaedro7 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Haven't noticed any issues although I don't use Bluetooth that often. Are intel cards the ones having this issues? Mine came with a qualcomm/atheros btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savas Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 i always install Atheros drivers in order fo my bluetooth to work (the stangest part is that the pc does nor lose the devices that were bind to it) but after any reboot or sleep bluetooth just shows me his middle finger :?

That makes BT stuff connectable, but since BT completely disappears after the laptop awakens from sleep, it's quite useless. Or maybe I should learn to switch off laptop every night since I use an SSD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only after I installed the Intel driver that it started disappearing after sleep, hibernate, and Hybrid Shutdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that indicate that Lenovo has done something to Windows in such a way that once Intel drivers are installed, stuff completely breaks down unrecoverably unless clean install?

ryar Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I find bluetooth and wifi won't work upon booting the computer after it was off; it always works after a restart. It never works after sleep. I wonder if it is the POS 2230. Did anyone try another adapter that works as it should? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnypl Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I just noticed, that my bluetooth stopped working properly after updating bios from 1.03 to 2.02 and then to modified 2.04 one. Before that everything was running fine with intel drivers (switching on/off, bluetooth working after sleep/hibernating). Now it's really annoying. Are there any changes in Windows 8.1?

tomix1024 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 is the bluetooth chip integrated into the wifi adapter or is it somewhere onboard?if it's on the wifi card, changing it could fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capricorn397 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Remember if you are wanting to replace the wifi card you need to install the modded bios for the laptop :L http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/2874-lenovo-y400-y500-unlocked-bios-wlan-whitelist-mod.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savas Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hello, the treath is quite old now, but, i reinstalled my PC with the recovery key (my y500 came with preinstalled windows 8) because i decided to update mine to 8.1 (wich was a huge mistake) and when i did that I instaled only the video and touchpad drivers, no intel or bluethooth drivers, and now my bluetooth works (i have installed the moded bios before) restarting the pc, bluetooth works but if you put PC to sleep it dissapears. Y500 is using black magic, magic in this world is a miracle, but for this Y500 magic I say F*%$ YOU LENOVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyc93 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 intel 7260AC is a wonderful solution,and it is verified ob Y510p,i guess it will be the same on y500.but you need to mod bios to unlock whitelist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy8172 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yeah connecting my wireless beats to the laptop is such a pain.. I don't even bother going through the trouble anymore. I feel like keeping the bluetooth enabled screws with my wireless internet connection too. Keeps dropping every 10 minutes with bluetooth on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemofunk Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 So, sort of good news I have been able to "fix" the bluetooth to some degree, I was able to stop the bluetooth from disconnecting when waking from sleep at least about 80% of the time.On top of that it still has some quirks sometimes on a cold boot it doesn't connect but a quick reboot will help it connect.I cant remember the tutorial that I used to achieve it and dont really have time to find it, but hopefully I can post it soon.

IR1 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Please do. I ran into a very similar problem after bios update. I have been running 8.1 since November. Bluetooth worked fine even after waking from sleep, 95% of the time. Then I update the bios and bam, bluetooth fails after wakeup 100% of the time so far. I started a thread that didnt get any traction about this... http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/5963-y500-bluetooth-issue-after-whitelist-bios.htmlI am geting my 7260 this week, so I will try and update this and my thread if I can get it working right.
