Solved Three "Other devices" in my Device Manager

Calab · May 6, 2022

I was installing driver software for my Huion H610 Pro graphics tablet when I noticed something odd in my Device Mangler...

"AMA SPP Server"
"Flow"
"MAP SMS/MMS"

What are these? They don't appear to have drivers associated to them when I look at their properties.

Windows 11 Pro 64bit version 22H2 OS Build 22616.1.

These are "service" entries associated with your BT devices. No issues there. See this post Some entries in "Other Devices" are a mystery--can't figure them out - Windows 10 Help Forums

Methods to try:
A lot of times when weird drivers are missing they will populate when the chipset driver is installed from manufacturer site.
Here are methods to try.

1. go to windows update-advanced options-optional updates to see if WU has already found any missing drivers.
2. Right click on device in device manager-update driver- search automatically for drivers
3. If still no driver you will have to do some searching. First find what the drivers are for.

In the Device Manager, right-click the device, and select Properties in the popup menu.
Select the Details tab.
Select the Hardware Ids in the dropdown list. Make note of ven (vendor)and dev (device) identification numbers
There can be multiple hardware ids for a device. The top one is the most specific identifier, and going down, the identifiers are more generic.
Go to PCI Lookup and enter the ven and dev info. This should give you who made the device and what it is so at least you have a starting point to find your missing driver. You can also search for the complete Device ID using any search engine to find the drivers.

Please understand what you're commenting on before commenting!!! What you posted does NOT need to be done because there is no issue as explained in the link I provided.

Too many people post on stuff they know nothing about and in turn cause nothing but confusion and misinformation.

@Calab, you can "verify" those entries by going to Devices and Printers and checking your BT connected items via Properties, and clicking the "services" tab.

What you are seeing are the "services" (not missing drivers) used by your connected/previously connected BT devices. If you remove one of those entries, your BT devices may cease to function until you re-connect. See this post.

And here, the OP with the same question confirmed what I said.

Good luck.

Well, excuse me. I bow to your superiority.I was writing my thoughts on the post before I ever read yours.

Coolmistry · May 6, 2022

I don't and won't claim to know all, but I have researched that issue as I too had those questions.

Peace

Ahh... I understand.

Couldn't get their through the Windows 11 Settings pages. No right click menu on my devices. Going through the old Control Panel let me get to a devices page that I could get properties from. Turns out these are for my phone:

Thanks for the confirmation. Glad I was able to help. And you can get to the Control Panel by typing it in Search

Thanks.

I also have three "Other Devices" in Device Manager.
I think they may have occurred after plugging in my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Can anyone confirm this?

Stigg · Jun 28, 2023

It appears that at least two "Other Devices" entries (NearbySharing and SMS/MMS) are from the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
My guess is Bluetooth Peripheral Device is also related. Interestingly, IcService_New is not selected.

All you have to do is take the initiative to read post #2 and click the link and your question(s) will be answered

And yes, those are probably from your S23, but they could also be from any Bluetooth device. The link in 2 shows you how to check.
