This is so frustrating becuase this worked fine in standard W8.
I want to be able to pair my Windows Phone to my W8.1 computer to stream music FROM my phone via bluetooth. Searching for answers on this subject gives me zero results anywhere. I used to be able to just pair via the devices charm and VIOLA - thats all I would need to do. Anything I played on my Windows Phone would instead play out of my laptop.
Now? Completely broken. Windows Phone was completely removed as a device from my system. Establishing a bluetooth connection simply doesn't work - it connects then 2 seconds later disconnects for no reason (yes I've tried re-adding my bluetooth device). The charms bar for devices is now completely useless in 8.1 since they've forced it to only work in apps that use it (hint: none) and it now only does outgoing streams not incoming streams.
So how on earth do I do this? Why is it so hard when it worked flawlessly before?
