There is a great program for Smartphone called BT Autosync. It automatically connects to ActiveSync and then disconnects itself at set intervals over bluetooth. The developer does not seem to be updating his site anymore. Has anyone found a similar program for Pocket PC-WM5?
Sure it has been 7 Months but I figured I post this as this is the only thread talking about this that I could find.
Its a little bit more updated, trying the demo out tonight, will give results.

I am not able to use the receiver with Autoroute 2004(pocket streets). The manual suggests that I ensure a virtual COM port is established before connecting the receiver, which I am not able to get around. I am lost and stuck with an expensive receiver. Can some help, please? ASAP
Daz, when you try to run the program does it give the option to choose your gps/com port?
no, nothing came up on the screen. Fortunately I have been able to resolve the problem. Need to disable to incoming beam option in connection setting
I currently have the same problem with rakaline 6031-x7 and tomtom navigator. I use to connect the gps reciever via blutooth manager as slave and then set it up in tomtom on my ipaq. now I can't find any options in bluetooth settings on my xda2. Any chance of a little help?
:?
gavcha, the xda2 is braindead where bluetooth is concerned, are you running the latest gps 2.09 from tomtom? If you are using that and it still isnt working, download towas patch, remove the gps from the bonding on your bluetooth, install towas patch, run tomtom wizard, gps manager in discoverable mode, add device in bt manager by choosing "new", choose the gps, ok everything, towas patch should then come up and give you the serial option, choose that. When finished go to tomtom gps, choose tomtom bluetooth and in the second drop down your gps should be available, choose that and it should work.
Cheers mate. me being the impatient ba£$%rd that I am found this site

Very usefull, up and running in no time. Seems to be in the same vein as your suggestion. Thanks for all your help I am slowly getting use to this xda milarky! Finaly I can sell the Ipaq!!!!
Cheers again.
Good to know it works, when O2 release the update it should get better, by the way that link you posted has been a pain in the ass for me, I have clicked that link in numerous posts and NEVER been able to connect, I have the patch now but does anybody else have problems linking to the above link.?
yeah i had problems going back to it when i was checking it to put it in my last post. try googling xda2 bluetooth manager. thats what took me to another forum with the link to this. worth a try. :idea:
Hey,
i have the following prob, hopefully someone has a clue cause its starting to drive me nuts since im not able to find a solution.
i can connect bluetooth, i can sync and i can have that connection for hours, but as soon as i want to use internet or for example msn messenger that the connection just quits.
i have the following setup: magacian with toshiba stack on my mda and the normal windows xp2 drivers on my desktop. i already tried the normal bt drivers on my mda, but they also quit after using internet.
strange thing is, or maybe not, that i can use internet and other programs when i am on usb, then the connections doesnt quit.
anyone one has a clue?
thanks in advance!

I just went into Mac world and got my first mac laptop two weeks ago.
My wizard had already been upgraded to WM6.
In PC world, it's quite simple to use it as a modem over GPRS. Just turn on internet sharing.
How can I make it happen for Macbook pro?
Thanks.
if you still have you cd that came with your phone there should be a driver/how to on it for wm5 tethering.
wm6 pretty much your right just turn on internet sharing first then connect to GPRS and then plug it into you mac.
im sorry its off the top of my head but im sure that's it. im not at home at the moment. I don't think there is anything else to it. if I left anything out please someone correct me.
try that for now. good luck.
I was not around for a couple of days.
Thanks mdajunkie. Unfortunatelly I did try this way without success. Is there anybody with same problem like me?
Maybe this will help:

While its for setting up a Mac / Linux / Other as a client to an XP box doing ICS, it should be the same with your phone being the ICS server (I think).
I just stepped into the Mac world myself with a 15" MBP myself and I love it!
Using Bluetooth, it is VERY easy.
Turn Phone and MBP Bluetooth on, pair the device if you have not done so using "Set up Bluetooth Device".
Make sure your phone is connected to the internet. Load IE or Messaging and make sure it's connected. Then you can quit that program.
Load Internet Sharing on the phone.
PC Connection should be Bluetooth PAN.
Network Connection should be Cingular GPRS (Or similar)
Then hit Connect on the bottom left of the screen.
Now on the Mac, click the Bluetooth Icon in the top right of the screen and choose Join Network On ... (Phones name)
Thats it, you will now be using the phones internet.
Thank you all!
It works for BT! I have read same article.
here: http://weblog.techdad.net/2007/05/1...sharing-from-windows-mobile-6-to-mac-os-1049/
But I still failed in connecting with USB cable. Anyway, BT works.
Thanks again.
Hi Guys,
complete newby, know-nothing-boy here.
Got my xda orbit and just trying to get it all set up the way I want it to work. this is not easy given that I am a complete technophobe so everything's a massive learning curve.....
.....so, I got my orbit 2 connected to my works pc through Active sync and it talks to the calendar and everything appears to be fine and I've set up a bluetooth connection and can beam a file from my laptop to the phone. However, I cannot get my calendar/emails to up-date through bluetooth and neither me nor our IT guy can figure out why not!!!!
Can any guru on here help please.
Thanks,
David
Have you downloaded the new Mobile Device Center? Is your Laptop running XP or Vista? When I last sync'd with an XP machine via bluetooth, I could not sync contacts etc either, only worked with Vista for me.

Thanks,
David
Is this possible or is it a severe problem???
Does windows mobile centre only work with vista????
Cheers,

Hi David,
1. You have to pair your Touch with XP
2. Create a incoming port.
3. select the incoming port in active sync for connection
4. start activesync on touch
if you need further info please use the search function.
Best Regards
Yoshi

David,
I feel for you sir.
I've been a PDA / Pocket PC user for a LONG time. I've used a Kyocera 6035 (Palm-based Cell/PDA), Sprint 6601, Sprint 6700, AT&T 8525, and even a BlackJack II. So I've used Windows XP with a Pocket PC LOTS of times, but *I* had trouble while in Chicago this week.
A co-worker lent me his Sony VGX-UX280 for that trip. It's a Ultra Portable "laptop" with Bluetooth, Wireless, and Windows XP loaded. Having setup my phone to "tether" (aka provided an Internet Connection) to my Dell Inspiron 9400, a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, and other laptops... I didn't have any concerns about using my phone for Internet on the road. Boy, was that a mistake.
So I'm on the road, and I try to use Internet Sharing on my cell to provide a connection the laptop. It seems to connect, and the laptop tries to pull an IP connection over bluetooth, but it NEVER got a private IP address... so it assigns itself a 169 address that as many know isn't a "connected" IP for most network situations. It's a fallback, when a network device can't find a DHCP server to provide an IP address. Instead, it assigns one to itself, but it's offline.
I confirm that the "sharing" is part of the problem by running Internet Explorer. When "sharing" is connected", I couldn't get to a web page on the phone. If I disconnect, everything works as it should. So I'm like WTF?
I came out to this site and others from my phone browser, and one post said I needed ActiveSync connected between the phone and laptop to tether. So I tried setting up ActiveSync over bluetooth, but try as I might if would NEVER connect.
I then downloaded WMWifi something or other. It basically turns your WM phone into a Wireless AP so laptops and other devices can connect to the Internet. But similar to the Bluetooth problem, I couldn't pull an IP. This was VERY odd, because the Wifi program let you configure which IP numbers you wanted to use. Several options were available, such as 192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x, up to 192.168.3.x. And there was another range as well, but none of these worked. Not even when I set a static IP address in the proper range on the laptop, or turned off the IP setting in the Wifi program, as suggested in their documentation.
So while trying to "fix" things, I tried deleting my existing Activesync profile. BAD idea, as that deleted all my contacts and such from the phone. So then I'm in Chicago, 2000 miles from home, and the only phone numbers I have with NO names is what is in my call history.
At this point, I figure I have one of two problems.
1) The config to the AT&T network on my cell is wrong, which is why the connection isn't working as it had in the past. I do know that while the AT&T settings auto-configured by the Touch Cruise weren't perfect after the wizard ran. I went out to AT&T's web site, and customized my settings to match the Tilt recommended configure. I also configured a "standard" GPRS setting that DOES NOT use the AT&T Proxy Server. That's been the ONLY way I can use Skype .6, as it can't connect to their website through Media Net.
2) One of the many programs I've installed on my phone has fouled the registry/config of my phone. I made a list of all the apps I've installed on my phone, and I suppose any one of these could have screwed up my ability to tether...
Skyfire .6
Flash Player Active X
CoreCodec Coreplayer
HTC HTC Home - Schen 2.10
MS Remote Desktop
Bluefire
Total Commander
PM Registry Editor
iNav iGuidance
Franson GpsGate 2.0
Google Maps
With the above, I can navigate anywhere in the US, connect to my work network with VPN, control my computer there like I was in my chair, and much more. But obviously not being able to get to the Internet on the road is unacceptable.
Probably will hard reset the phone this morning, and take it from there.
Sorry if it seems like I took over your thread. But like you, I had NO luck connecting ActiveSync through Bluetooth.
(Quick note: Even when I borrowed a USB Cable on the road, and tried to tether my laptop to my phone for Internet... I STILL couldn't get IE to connect to websites via my phone. I COULD use Activesync, but by then I'd already lost my contacts, etc. So I'll get that back on the phone now that I'm home.)
First of all, let me compliment all the great work that everyone has done. Everyone of you that have contributed to the ROM upgrades are true artists. That being said, I will now move on to my question. I have a Dell X50v that originally came with WM2003SE A02. Everything worked fine. I was able to connect to "Unsecured" as well as "Secured" networks, (as long as I had the password or key if you will. As OS's go, to get some of the newer software and keep up with the times, I opted to upgrade, first to WM5 A01. That was a disaster, won't go into details due to A01 instability and battery drain. I then upgraded to WM5 A02. Better, but this is where I first ran into a WiFi connection problem. Connected to unsecured networks but not ny home WPA-Psk. It did with WM2003SE. OK, so I thought I would work my way up to WM6. I have tried both MagLite and LennySH ROMs but still have the connection problem. I them moved on up to WM6.5. No change, still same problem. I have searched the internet over and over using multiple search terms to no avail for a solution. Can the WM2003SE drivers be used for the WM6.5? Has someone re-written the drivers for WM6.5, WM6, WM5? It is not so much that I have to have it, as it is that I see no reason why the WM2003SE would connect to WPA-PSK and the newer OS's will not. Same wlan card on same device. Has to be a software or driver issue that has problems that need to be corrected. If you have a definitive solution for this I would be very much interested. Thank you in advance.......The Ghost
Update!!!! After searching the problem for a week, I had the X50v sitting there with WiFi active and "Wireless" open looking at the networks that were available. The screen kept fluttering and fluttering for about 20 minutes and then it said I was connected to my secured network. Of course it has said that before but could not get on the internet. Always gave me a popup saying that could not connect. But this time it actually connected. Then it lost connection, and now I am waiting for it to connect again. Not sure what is going on. It has been about 15 minutes now and it still says "Connecting"....Frustrating.
