    my y580 doesnt recognise my cellphone via bluetooth
    things i've done:
    installed its drivers (intelR proset wireless for bluetooth 3)
    enabled bluetooth mode by Fn+f5
    activated my cellphone bluetooth
    but my laptop cant find it on "add a wireless device to the network" section
    that's all i've done so far
    tell me what am i doing wrong?

    i connected my old windows phone by trial and error.
    turned on bt on phone, detected laptop, tried to connect. laptop asks for pin number. entered pin on phone, etc etc. phone connected.

    i don't know what you're doing wrong, but keep trying everything haha

    if your phone can see the laptop, or vice versa, then you're getting somewhere.
    if the laptop isn't seeing the phone, then the phone probably isn't broadcasting itself.
