    I've noticed that there is no Bluetooth icon present in Control Panel only in Notification Area on a task bar (through startup link).

    Does anyone tried using different driver/software package on their Z?

    Also can't find a way to disable Bluetooth Headset Skype Proxy.

    [I have a clean install and not using Sony's SmartWi tool]

    Thanks

    ADMINS: please move my post to the proper location. i see no option to delete it. i realized i posted in the wrong place...

    To enable the icon make sure that the BT radio is on and then go to settings and display icon in tray menu.

    I'm looking for a different BT driver also that can support A2DP profile.

    For the Skype question, you need to go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Manage other programs access to Skype.

    I am having all sorts of problems with the Foxconn BT in my Z 1290X.
    A2DP not working is one, also if I use my BT mouse and keyboard at the same time it drops the connection every 2 or 3 minutes.
