How to Change the Bluetooth Stack

[ebenzunlimited]

The Bluetooth stack is a phrase that describes the software bundle used by Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth devices are devices that transmit data wirelessly. Printers, computers and headsets can all contain Bluetooth functions. If your Bluetooth headset or device is acting strangely or will not connect to another device, it may be due to an outdated Bluetooth stack. Fortunately, you can change the stack to different versions of the software and transfer it to the Bluetooth device. Afterward, you should have no problem connecting devices.
