My Dell XPS 15 and Nexus 5 just don’t get along. Updating to the latest Bluetooth drivers for the Broadcom-enabled embedded chipset resolved this.
Here’s how to update your Broadcom-based Bluetooth drivers in Windows 10:
- Visit the Bluetooth section of the Broadcom website
- Expand the WIDCOMM® Bluetooth Windows® Software for Windows 10 & 8, 64-Bit section
- Click on the Download button to the left of the WIDCOMM® Bluetooth Windows® Software for Windows 10 & 8, 64-Bit header
- Open the downloaded ZIP archive (e.g. BTW_12.0.1.940_win8_10_x64.zip)
- Run Setup.exe within the Retail Package directory of the ZIP archive
- You may be prompted by Windows SmartScreen, click the More info link and the Run Anyway button within this dialog
- Click the Upgrade option within the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software dialog
- Restart the computer when prompted
That’s it. 🙂
