I've recently upgraded (though that's debatable) to Win8 and since doing so, cannot succeed in getting Bluetooth to work properly. I have two rather old Nokia mobiles, both of which are found and recognised by my (now)Win8 laptop, but both phones show as OFFLINE on the device list on the laptop, despite having been selected to 'visible to all' with Bluetooth ON.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to make my phone(s) display as being ONLINE? I can't see any switching on either the phone or the laptop that leaps out and bites me.
