If wanted to communicate bluetooth messages between Symbian and Windows Phone using Qt and C# respectively,how would I go about it? What apis or classes would be able to communicate between the two platforms?
Windows Phone 7 does not provide us any public API to communicate by Bluetooth.
So, you can't write apps which work with Bluetooth devices.

I'm working on an universal application running in a Rpi3 with Windows 10 IoT 14393.67 using speech synthesis and recognition. I've been using an USB microphone for the input and the audio jack connected to speakers for the synthetized voice, but I wanted to change it to use a bluetooth headset instead.
I've paired a headset to the device using the integrated bluetooth connection in the Rpi3, but I couldn't figure out how to access the microphone and the speakers on the headset from my c# code. Is this possible to archieve?
UWP apps can do quite advanced stuff even on the Raspberry Pi. What you described is quite common and Microsoft even provides a set of Bluetooth related samples to get started with:
Device enumeration and pairing sample
You might also want to take a look at the Bluetooth section of UWP documentation on MSDN.
When developing an application that communicates with a Bluetooth Low Energy device on Windows, does one have to write separate code for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10?
I need to connect to a custom device that only has a Bluetooth Low Energy chip in it, the reason I think it would need a separate version is because the API might be different for Windows 10? That is the question, is it the same API?
In a normal Windows Forms Application for laptops (not a Windows store application) I need to communicate with a Bluetooth device.
For communicating with Bluetooth I need Windows' Bluetooth libraries:
see this link
Can anyone tell me how to add this reference into a normal application ?
My impression is that Microsoft has totally forgotten that normal applications need to communicate with Bluetooth as well sometimes .
Or am I overlooking something ?
I want to develop an app, which will be running on tablets with Windows 8 (RT). One tablet with this app should be a "master" tablet and this tablet will communicate with other tablets "slave" (running same app). Master tablet should send data to slaves tablets (slave tablet display this received data) and slaves tablets will send data to master. Master collect this data and create some graph etc... I hope you understand. (resume: several same W8 RT app communication with each other)
Can tablets with W8 RT (running same app) communication WI-FI Direct? What´s possibilities are in C#?
Thx for every answer.
Windows 8 includes a capability to help you establish connections between copies of your app running on different devices. That capability is called PeerFinder.
Currently PeerFinder can find other devices using NFC (tap the two devices together) or using WiFi if both devices support Wifi Direct. After the initial handshake, both devices communicate using sockets.
The Proximity Sample shows basic use of PeerFinder:

PixPresenter is a sample app that uses PeerFinder and exchanges images between devices:

PeerFinder.SupportedDiscoveryTypes tells you what methods are currently available for discovering other devices:

Hope that helps.
Dev support, design support and more awesome goodness on the way: http://bit.ly/winappsupport
If it's local network, you can use raw TCP communications and use UDP discovery to identify the master.
If it's a more distributed setup like the internet or separated network areas, I'd recommend you have a look at Microsoft Azure Queue Storage services explained here. This will allow a distributed and redundant master-slave model.
As a complement, if anytime you need to emulate NFC you can use a specific sample driver :

Hope it helps.

Also, here you will find a WinRT lib that you can use to help you tranfer data/files between Windows 8 peers running the same application, using Wifi-Direct :

There are some related posts but they are not answer to my problem.
I am planning to make some Desktop Application (Windows 7 x64) which will be requiring to send and receive SMS.
How can I connect to a cell-phone ( Any Nokia Phone with bluetooth s40,s60) and then when an SMS is received it can generate some event on the desktop app so that respective tasks can be done, and then reply the SMS from the Desktop App.
The texting should be done over bluetooth between phone and desktop.
you can use 32Feet.Net library for Bluetooth communication. After you have connected to DialupNetworking service of your cell phone you can use AT command set to send/read SMSs
hi guys i found this GSMCOMM library , rater usefull and with sample code for C# .
