Bluetooth Viewer is a small utility that runs in the background, and monitor the activity of Bluetooth devices around you. For each detected Bluetooth device, it displays the following information: Device Name, Bluetooth Address, Major Device Type, Minor Device Type, First Detection Time, Last Detection Time, and more. BluetoothView can also notify you when a new Bluetooth device is detected, by displaying a balloon in your taskbar or by playing a small beep sound.
What can you do with Bluetooth Viewer?
If you have neighbors or family members that use a cellular phone with Bluetooth turned on:
Start Using BluetoothView
Bluetooth Viewer doesn t require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it, simply copy the executable file (BluetoothView.exe) to any folder you like, and run it. A few seconds after you run it, Bluetooth Viewer will start to gradually display all detected Bluetooth around you.
The Description Column
In addition to the name of Bluetooth device, you can set your own short description to allow you to easily detect the device in the future. The description that you set will also be displayed in the taskbar balloon, when the device is detected as a new one. In order to set a description, double-click the desired item, and in the Description field, simply type the description text and click OK .
Custom Timeout Value
In Advanced Options window, you can set a custom timeout value for the bluetooth scanning. The timeout value is defined in units of 1.28 seconds. If you set a low timeout value (around 5), the scanning process will be relatively fast, but there is a risk that some bluetooth devices won t be detected, esepcially if they are located in a greater distance. If you set a relatively high timeout value (15 or more), the scanning process will be slow, but the device detection will work a little better.
Connecting To Bluetooth Device
Starting from version 1.20, Bluetooth Viewer allows you to connect the desired Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth Viewer doesn t send any information to the device, it only tries to connect the device for testing purposes, and then closes the connection. When you choose the Try To Connect option, Bluetooth Viewer automatically send a connection request to the selected devices. On the device, you should get a qesution like "Do you want to accept data from xyz". If you choose yes, the connection will be succeeded. Otherwise it ll be failed. The connection result is displayed in the Connection Result column
