Dear all,
May be of a newbie's question, but did any of you try sync XDAII using the bluetooth? I succeeded on making the bond b/w my xda and the desktop, but the connections always drop a few second afterwards. Anyone...Help....Me....Thanks in advance
I have no problem syncing via Bluetooth. Did you use the ActiveSync profile of the Bluetooth software of your Bluetooth dongle?
What operating system is your pc running? I had similar issues with Windows 2000, but since moving to XP it works fine. The commonly known problem is that activesync can't connect to COM port 10 or above. This might be the problem with W2000, in that your PC can't assign a COM port for bluetooth of less than 10. There are many posts out there.
Dear,
Thanks both of you. Now I have succeeded making BT connection using the XP flatform
Thanks again
Virtual port and Bluetooth Tools
I'm having trouble running ActivSync over BT. I've sync'ed the XDAII to my PC (XP) - that's fine. However, running ActiveSync and following the instructions on http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/guide_e.html#ActiveSync I've hit a problem.
It mentions something about a virtual port and configuring XP and ActiveSync on the PC accordingly. How do I go about setting up this virtual port ?
Many thanks
Nutz
UPDATE : Fixed the problem. It appears that the ports we're not the same between ActiveSync (File>Connection Settings) and Bluetooth Configuration (local services tab).
Hi,
i have a qtek2020 with WM5 2.03a. Sorry for my bad english.
I have installed 1131792659_Widcomm1.5WM5.cab for enable my pocket pc of PAN bluetooth.
I haven't problem for installation and i have add two reg inserted into temp folder.
The bluetooth is perfect, 100% work, PAN, ect.
But now i have a big problem, when dock the pocket pc to usb docking station, windows xp don't recognize the usb device and receive a error message for 'unknown usb device'.
ActiveSync don't start and also the virtual network card associated with ActiveSync don't start.
I have hardreset my device, reattached to docking station and ActiveSync start and work.
After this, I have installed only 1131792659_Widcomm1.5WM5.cab and ActiveSync don't work.
The problem is caused by Widcomm driver, there are a solution for enable a usb for activesync with Widcomm Bluetooth Stack ?
Thanks, ciao

If you have the widcomm bluetooth stack on your pc
- configure the Widcomm ActiveSync service with no secure connection and a specific port
- open ActiveSync connection settings and select the "Allow connections to one of the following:" and select the port you defined in Widcomm config
- open the Widcomm config on your pda and creates an ActiveSync connection
Hope it's clear,
Cheers,

here is a vidcomm guide

Thanks for your responses.
Yes, with bluetooth i can syncronize the pocket pc.
If possibile use the docking station usb or no ?
Is Widcomm 1.5 (1131792659_Widcomm1.5WM5.cab) the last version for Himalaya ? This stack is very beautiful !!!
I found to internet 1.7 version of Broadcom/Widcomm bluetooth stack. Can i install this version for Himalaya ? Is compatible ?
Thanks for your help
Ciao Massimo
not sure what you are asking as the first thing
but activesync and sycn and usb have nothing to do with what
bluetooth stack you have
you can always sync with serial cable or usb/cradle
unless you have turned it off in activesync

Sorry for my bad english but after installed widcomm stack to my pocket pc, the syncronize by usb cradle don't work. The widcomm bluetooth stack have create this problem: "don't work the syncronize with usb docking station".
If i hard reset the pocket pc and return to MS stack, the syncronize with usb cradle work.

You don't need to hard reset in order to come back to the M$ BT stack. You just need to change some settings in the registry and do a soft reset.
Make a search on threads about that, I think it's great xda2jojo who gave the solution...
Cheers,

install wm5torage.
then before you sync using the usb cradle / cable go in to the "wm5torage and enable, then disable it.
once this is done you will be able to activesync via usb. until a reboot)

where did you find that cab. i was looking for it for hours yesterday, but i can find a cab file, so i can install it on my qtek 9000...
I need that CAB!! I also have a qtek2020 and i'm unable to locate a widcomm stack for it.
I had working ActiveSync without problems (configuarated the Com a.s.o.)
but after the last hard reset i cant connect my phone over active sync... my Kaiser shows "no activesync supported pc...)
what can i do?

did you redo the pairing?
WORKS again...
reinstalled activesync 3 times but thank you!
Hi,
I know this is an old thread but i wanted people thoughts on Activesync over Bluetooth?
What issues are there and how reliable is it?
Im using WM6.1 and plan to sync with Outlook2003 on XPpro sp3.
Thanks
I find activesync via bluetooth very reliable, although not fast enough for transfering large files.
Best way to get it working properly is:
Delete any existing pairings on both the pc and ppc.
Check that the bluetooth program on your pc has a com port set up and that your pc is discoverable.
Go to activesync connection settings on pc, and check that it is set to use the same com port as the previous step.
On ppc, go to activesync and attempt to 'connect via bluetooth'.
When it doesnt find a connection, select to create one, add device, and create a partnership with your pc. It SHOULD find activesync as a service.
Now you can close the bluetooth menu, and 'connect via bluetooth' again.
(this would probably have helped the OP 20 months ago)
I love the phone but I cannot believe that its so hard to sync with Vista via Bluetooth. It has the latest mobile software and vista is the new OS, how can they **** things up so badly?
I know there are some issues with the Sony Vaio Bluetooth stack. Its super confusing and the Bluetooth settings are hard to find.
Is it actually possible to Sync with Bluetooth to vista from WM6? Has anyone got this working?
Thanks, even a yes or no would be great here, so that I know if I'm wasting my time.

I did. After connecting my TP to the PC via bloetooth, i synced them, but using the phone's ActivSync, and not the Windows Mobile Device Center.
You need to go to your phone and instruct a "bluetooth activesynce".
It worked fine for me and my Vista SP1, using a dead-cheapo USB-bluetooth adapter.
Got it working too. Paired the 2 devices and entered passcode. Then started AS on the phone and selected Connect using BT and off it went. No problems what so ever.
Its good to hear that it works for people.
I think its an issue with the Sony Bluetooth stack. I can pair the devices but the device doesn't show that the laptop has activesync, just wireless stereo. I think I might hate Sony more than Microsoft, Mac next time for sure, so so sick of Vista and spending a week online working things out.
Its a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has it working on a Sony Laptop with Vista?
Thanks for the replies and listening to me moan.
Indeed, having the same problem with Toshiba Bluetooth Stack. No Activesync profile when searching for available profiles. Is the any solution on how to add the "Activesync profile"?
my phone found the desktop with bluetooth and i checked activesync and on the phone i hit connect bluetooth it works fine but i hit sync and nothing happens?

Did you try this https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2382825&SiteID=65
I had the same problem with my VAIO TZ and my Tytn II, didn't try with the TP yet.
Apart from replacing the drivers, I seem to remember there was a trick related to changing the COM Port or something (the default port was incompatible with Activesync) but I'm afraid I don't remember. I'll give it a go when I have time to connect both, but it may not happen until I getmy new laptop.
EDIT: forget the above, that's the trick I half remembered (and used): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397419

If this is the case, try adding comm port for both your laptop and tp. Outgoing for TP and incoming for laptop. Then you need to set Windows Mobile Center to connect via COM?? (?? is the number you've chosen)
ActiveSync connection (via bluetooth) is actually a comm port connection.

Try removing the pairing and rebond.
It also works fine for me with Vista (non-SP1), newest version of Mobile Center, and a Bluetooth dongle with Microsoft stack.
This worked for me
I used many websites, a lot with very similar advice, but none specific to the HTC touch Diamond conundrum.
However, this is a very useful step by step guide:
http://www.inspectmygadget.com/2007/05/31/how-to-connect-your-wm5-device-to-wmdc-via-bluetooth/, which although provides advice for WM 5, is still the same principle.
The advice below is device specific
I use:
HTC Touch Diamond (with WM 6.1)
WMDC 6.1
Bluesoleil V6 Bluetooth Dongle
Although I had found the above advice on previous websites, and it had not worked I remained persistent.
I was able to find 'Activesync' as a service when, on my PC, changed the WMDC connection settings to COM 3.
However every time I tried to 'connect via BT' on my device, it said 'no partnership existed......'.
I therefore established some more com ports on my computer (in addition to COM 3, COM 4, COM 5 which I had taken authorisation off of):
COM 6
COM 7. Both without authorisation.
I then used the trial and error method to find which com port would broadcast 'activesync' to my device. It was still COM 3.
However, on trying 'activesync via BT'on my device this time, it began to connect!!!
I am not sure whether opening up the extra ports (COM 6 and COM 7) or whether my computer/device decided it was now the time to play ball since it realised I was about to take a cricket bat to it worked but it now syncs fantastically.
NB: There was no need to reinstall any software or windows operating system (as some other posts on other websites have suggested)
I still cannot get this to work. I couldn't on my Sprint Touch and now I can't on my Touch Pro.
I have Vista Home Premium SP1 with WMDC 6.1
Computer was formatted to factory settings today. Touch Pro is new as of yesterday.
I paired the phone to the computer and the computer to the phone. ActiveSync was a profile available for the computer and I made sure it was ticked.
I plugged in the phone via USB and set up the partnership. All is good there.
When I open ActiveSync on the phone and click "connect via bluetooth" it tells me it cannot open the port.
This is the exact same problem I had with my Touch. The computer is newly formatted and isn't communicating with any other bluetooth device at all. How can the port not be available? I've tried the regedit. Tried making incoming ports on the computer. No avail. However, I cannot make new outgoing ports on the phone. The tab is there but no option to do so.
Any help?
Thanks in advance

I just found an easy solution for u guys who using Toshiba Bluetooth Stack ...
U guys no need to remove anything ...
All u need to do is verify the COM port of ur bluetooth ...
1. Go to the “Bluetooth Local COM” Applet in your Control Panel
2.Open “Bluetooth Local COM” applet where you will see a list of Ports
3. The Corerct port you need to use is
“COM7 Toshiba BT Port (COM7) LocalCOM-Server[SerialPort(TOSHIBA LocalCOM)]
and not “COM6 Toshiba BT Port (COM6) LocalCOM-Client”
From this guy here ... << http://thinkabdul.com/2006/10/12/tu...c-via-bluetooth-with-toshiba-bluetooth-stack/ >> TQ sir ...
Then ... u guys need to use ur REGEDIT to find this ...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
Notice there is SerialPort ?? yes ... JUST CHANGE THE string 'Bluetooth' to COM7 ...
After this just pair ur wat ever PDA u've got & thats it ... u got the ACTIVESYNC in the advance option of the services available ...
Hope u guys enjoy !!!
P/S :- BTW i just bought my HTC TP 2 weeks ago ...
woks perfectly!!!
many thanks.
I can sync my ATT FUZE to AC via USB with no problems. I can then connect via BT. Later on, BT no longer works. FUZE says "connected", notebook says not connected. If I delete the association, and start over with USB, then BT will work again, but won't stick.
OS = Vista 32 Biz (not SP1)
PC = Sony VAIO, with the Toshiba BT stack removed, working otherwise fine with uSoft BT stack
Same problem here with Vista and the MS stack. In fact I have given with BT sync and use USB. This way I avoid this problem and I also keep the phone charged (as a workaround for the appalling battery performance)
I had the identical problem before with the Toshiba stack and a Treo 750, so don't think it is a WM / HTC issue, though I wonder what makes them think they are connected. I think it is actually with AS, but don't know how to fix.
