Hi,
Been a tether(berry) user for almost a year now with great success. I've almost always used it in USB mode without problems but recently I picked up a cheap BT dongle and figured I'd give it a spin. I had everything working fine using the default MS stack but after a week or so I decided to try the IVT/bluesoleil stack not realizing that it is not compatible/supported by Tether. So I promptly removed it and went back to the default Windows 7 drivers.
At first I though it had something todo with the 1.0.0.5/.6 beta's I was playing with but I couldn't get it work with BT anymore. Plugging in USB worked great, so I then narrowed it down further by installing tether on my desktop and setting it up there without making any changes to my blackberry. Ok that worked too both in USB mode and BT mode. So between installing the other BT stack and then removing it and going back to MS's stack.. now it won't work. ugh.
To be clear, BT is working-It's paired, it sees my 9530 no problem. I launch tether (runas administrator)!, click on bluetooth, the devices list popups, my 9530 is the only device it finds and I select it and then I'm immediately shown this 'Tether - Error'; 'Failed to connect to the Tether service' dialog. It had me thinking that the Tether service (TBService.exe) wasn't running but if I check the services list it's set to automatic and running, and restarting it doesn't seem to help.
I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to sleep on this for now!
PS, Yes I've tried removing/deleting the BT drivers in the device manager again and reinstalling them, including swapping ports. I've removed all instances of tether I could find, rebooted between this and reinstalled both the latest stable and newest beta with the same result different times. Willing to try anything to figure this out!
Thanks.
Bump. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is most aggravating now.
I even went back to a system restore from a month ago without success :(
