Hi All,
Excellent forum, been watching for a while now as original XDA owner. XDA is now defunct after many months happy service (Save the provider!!) - Really didn't do enough with it!
Firstly, got my XDAII and took it out wrapper - Played..
Now time for the serious stuff:
1. Ran BluetoothGPS - Fantastic, why can we not see more of this type of app on XDA? However, ran into a couple of problems:
- Setup all connections (LAN, serial, etc) and seemed to work fine with laptop with BT Dongle (TDK Class 2 & latest driver set)
- Replaced \windows\startup BTTray shortcut with new one for BTGPS, soft reset....
Yet still both systray icons come up......
And Activesync won't work through the defined serial port....
I'd really like to start using BluetoothGPS, but I need Activesync to work... I need the other functionality i.e. LAN etc which the current MS BT stack doesn't!!
Is there a way to completely remove the MS BT Stack and make BTGPS the only stack? Is it a regedit or a ROM cook that needs to be done?
Has anyone done this? Hows it working......
Oh, I bought a stowaway keyboard too... (Required for the size)... and O2 bundled their o2-g2 headset for nowt.....
Here is the problem:
Once you install BluetoothGPS, it will totally override all the MS Bluetooth services; meaning, no more Activesync or SSA; I think headset still works though.
Also, you cannot use the Activesync or SSA that is provided by the hacked software (or at least mine didn't work).
Please someone, find a fix. This is an awesome stack!
Hallo!
I've got an unusal problem...
I'd like to use my PPC (O² XdaMini) as a Bluetooth Dongle.
In my opinion there must be a way to connect the PPC with my notebook (that has no bluetooth integrated) via USB, and then to establish a bluetooth connection between my PPC and any other bluetooth device, which would finally be usable with my laptop.
This procedure is almost the same as using the PPC's integrated modem to get a webaccess with a notebook.
Of course I could buy a USB bluetooth dongle for my laptop. But there could be another way as well, isn't it?
Thx very much for your help, cheers
Sebi
have you got any answers?
I'm also looking for a "way" or " software"" to be able to do what you said. But I couldn't.
Did you have a solution.
This is a very common q - along with asking the same about Wi-Fi.
Currently, this is impossible.
Hi, Is anyone aware of a software that can enable me to dial a number from my desktop, through a pocketpc connected over a USB cradle (and make use of the PC headphone/microphone for conversation).
Thanks,
Prashanth
ms have a free program which give you the screen of the pda connected as a window on the pc
remote something is it's name
you can try search for remote AND pc
it's likely to turn up
Hmmm right. But will the remote control software allow me to use the PC mic/headphones instead of the ones on the PDA?
i am able to use my pc as bluetooth headset - i cant dial number but i can talk through my computers mic and speakers. depending on your pc's bt stack it might not work i guess - i am using widcomm one.
Thankyou banannq and rudegar for your help. The issue was with the BlueSoleil stack. Now with PDA remote control and widcomm stack (laptop) things are working fine.

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.
Hello ppl,
First of all please excuse my bad English and sorry if my thread is annoying (since there are many similar threads here), but my case is a bit different.
Before everything let say I have "stock" Leo and PC (without built in bluetooth - it will be external dongle) with Windows Server 2003 (tweaked as workstation).
So, let say I have such case - I am turning on my pc and OS booting stops on login screen, here I want to enter my password not with my pc's keyboard but with my Leo (i.e. my Leo will be wireless keyboard). I have read some threads here and I guess I can do this using wifi connection, Remote Desktop Mobile tool on Leo, and with enabled Remote Desktop on my PC. The most interesting question to me is - can I do this with bluetooth connection?! As I already said bluetooth on my pc will be external (powered by application like BlueSoleil or similar) which means (I guess) that bluetooth connection will not be available when Win booting is paused with login screen (application like BlueSoleil will not be loaded yet). Once I am logged in will be good if I can use my Leo not only as wireless keyboard, but also as mouse, media remote control and so on
I made a lil research and found some remote applications like GRemote but I guess this is also not an option since such applications will not be loaded (before OS booting finalization) too. I have read a lil about Bluetooth PAN, but still not sure that this can be my solution.
I will be so grateful for any info, ideas and help!
Thanks in advance!
