Bluetooth Windows 7 Home Premium
Dillan Pakbaz
I always use my Home Mini for a speaker at my work office and it has suddenly stopped working. It gets commands perfectly but will not connect to Bluetooth. I have tried to pair it from my phone but even my phone doesn't pick it up to connect. I have Rebooted it , Unplugged it for 30 mins and plugged it in. Removed the device from my home app and reinstalled it. I'm out of options. Any help would be great!

While doing the reset, what's the status of the LED light?

I already replied to Princess, and others. I did fill out the form previously and have a case Case ID [2-3833000033064] filed 10/15 with David. Supposedly it was escalated and someone was supposed to call or email me and neither have occurred.
I wanted to check in and see if you managed to see Muddi's post. Please let me know if you have any questions from here. I would be happy to assist, and make sure you are good to go.
Best regards,

Just to make sure, you're trying to connect your Google Home Mini to your phone via bluetooth, right? If not, please tell me the make and model of the device you want to connect your Google Home Mini to?
I spent an hour on the phone with David from Google Support and all reset instructions did not work. Are you saying that if I can pair my computer with the mini speaker in Bluetooth I could somehow reset the mini?
Thanks for the update. I reviewed your case and it has already escalated. Please continue to communicate via email with the representative that's handling the case. Confirm how you did the reset. You can even send a video showing that you are doing it. You are in good hands now.
At the beginning of my thread I explained that I attempted the reset by 1) turning mic off, holding the mini over the lights for 30 plus seconds, 2) plugging and unplugging the mini 15+ times with 30 seconds intervals in between.
Trying to use my Iphone hotspot out and about and it will not show on my wifi settings on my laptop. Have tried running network adapters troubleshooter and switching airplane mode on and off again on both devices. I can connect to other iphone hotspots on the laptop and my hotspot shows for other laptops. Any advice?
Yes, it's turned on. Yes, the settings are all correct. Yes, I reset the phone's network. Nothing makes it show up on the Windows machine. It *does* show up on my ipad, so it's broadcasting the hotspot's name. But Windows 11 does not seem to see it. Tried everything on both iphone and laptop. Nothing. The only way to connect via my phone's connection is with a usb connection. Anyone have any ideas?
In my case, I found that Windows 11 wants you to go an extra step. Maybe 3 or 4 steps, if a click is a step. You now have to go into Settings > Bluetooth & devices, and lo, your enabled iPhone hotspot should be there, THEN you have to open up the properties ellipses for the device, where you will see a "Join Personal Area Network (PAN)" link that pops out.
Click that link, THEN another link is presented in a "Bluetooth Personal Area Network" window. (sigh) And in That Thing, there is a dropdown selection list with a single item. This is labelled "Access Point" click that and then of course, click the "Connect" button that appears under there and now, now my friend, after a great sampler of possible widgets - you are in business.
I connected using bluetooth. I turned it on on both devices and connected the laptop to the iphone. Then I went to 'bluetooth and devices' on my laptop and the devices were displayed on the screen. On the picture where the iPhone was shown, I clicked on the three dots and selected 'connect to a personal short-range network'. On the bottom right of the screen, where the Wi-Fi icon would normally be, a different image is now displayed, but the internet is working for me.
On the device that you want to connect, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for your iPhone or iPad in the list. Then tap the Wi-Fi network to join. If asked, enter the password for your Personal Hotspot."
I was having this issue, checking my Windows 11 tablet prior to travelling. I found that for the iPhone to appear on the list of available networks, it needs to be on a 4G network, not the normal (home) Wifi. Once you open the Settings / Personal Hotspot screen, you will see that the phone switches from WiFi to 4G (or presumably 5G). Once this happens, the iPhone network connection appears more reliably on the list of Available Networks on the Windows 11 device.
Brand new IPhone 15 Pro here and I have the same issue, and everything online is useless to fix it. My hotspot is invisible to share it with others (but it works with my MacBook), for example I recently tried unsuccessfully to connect a Samsung TV, sooo annoying!!! And the this is the top tier smartphone in the market. I had to remove the SIM card and put it in my old Galaxy S10 that now I keep in my bag for all my trips to be able to get an internet hotspot that is reliable.
Wireless technology is becoming more and more popular with each passing day. Many Windows 10 users are looking to ditch wires, and switch to more convenient wireless peripherals. As Bluetooth devices are selling out faster than ever, take the AirPods Pro, for example, more and more people are struggling to turn on Bluetooth and use it on Windows 10.
In this guide, you can find out how to download and install Bluetooth driver windows 10, and fix common issues with them such as Bluetooth not working, or Bluetooth not detecting devices on Windows 10.
Solution 1: Check the status of the Bluetooth driver for Windows 10
Solution 2: Re-enable your Bluetooth driver software in Device Manager
Solution 3: Reinstall your Bluetooth driver - reinstall bluetooth driver Windows 10
If you don't have your Bluetooth drivers yet, you first need to acquire them and properly install them onto your computer. This can be done quite easily, and our guide is here to make sure you take the quickest route to use Bluetooth technology.
If you have a Bluetooth laptop, you most likely already have drivers pre-installed by the device manufacturer. In this case, you might want to check Bluetooth driver updates instead of completely reinstalling them.
Before downloading a Bluetooth driver, you need to get information about your system and note important details. This will ensure that you download the correct Bluetooth drivers compatible with your setup and Bluetooth devices. You may run into wireless connection issues if you download the incorrect drivers.
To install the Bluetooth driver, simply open the file you downloaded in the previous step and follow any on-screen instructions. This process is different for each manufacturer, which means we can't provide an accurate step-by-step guide.
Note that you might require access to a local administrator account to be able to install the driver on your device. This is a security measure in Windows 10 to ensure no incorrect or infected drivers are installed on the computer.
Your Bluetooth version may be important to determine whether or not your drivers are outdated or a version with known bugs, lacking features, or frequent error messages. To check what version of Bluetooth is currently installed on your device, follow the instructions below.
You may not realize that after installing the correct drivers, Bluetooth itself may still be disabled on your computer. If Bluetooth is already enabled on your device, follow the same steps to restart it in order to get it to work properly.
Windows 10 comes with a variety of troubleshooters that aim to automatically solve issues on your computer. This makes solutions more accessible to users. Users have found that the Bluetooth troubleshooter is able to address and fix issues related to wireless issues.
Some users report that simply updating to the newest version release of Windows 10 made any present Bluetooth errors go away. As a bonus, you might even get access to new and exciting features, improved security, and better optimization.
Once you've installed or fixed your Bluetooth drivers, you can now connect your Bluetooth speaker and listen to your favorite sound. If you have a Bluetooth speaker to connect, here is a video that helps you connect the speaker. Watch how to connect Bluetooth speaker on Youtube
