Bluetooth Syncronization

Hi there,
I upgraded my imate to 1.72.00WWE from clubimate.com and everything is working perfect except that now I can't syncronize my documents with my laptop via bluetooth! Although I can send files between my imate and my laptop via bluetooth and I also can syncronize the documents via USB.
To syncronize via bluetooth before I'm following:
Start -> Settings -> Sysytem -> Bluetooth Settings -> Start - > Bonded Devices -> New
I also uninstalled ActiveSync3.7.1 and install it again but nothing changed!
Please tell me what to do, since I don't like to take my imate from its metal cover everytime I want to syncronize it.
Best regards and thanks in advance.

try here then it's on the site a compleat activesync guide for xda2 series using bluetooth

Thanx alot man, the article resolved my issue! Thanx again for your help

I struggled for an hour last night, should have searched this site earlier! Great guide that, why can't the Qtek manual be as helpfull!

I wish it was that simple for me, but I still can't get AS to work over Bluetooth. I can pair just fine, but I never get the "Activesynce setup competed" message. It just goes back to the BT settings. It is paired with the notebook and they talk (I can make GPRS calls from the notebook), but no AS. Tried a number of times, same results. Any ideas?

TOMTOM PROBLEMS. **PLEASE HELP**

Hi,
can someone help me before I rip all my hair out! lol
I just installed tomtom version 5 on my MDA Vario but I can't seem to get the tomtom to recognise the bluetooth receiver.
Can someone tell me a simple solution please where I don't need to edit anything.
I need a DUMMIES guide!
I would really be greatful if someone could upload the prog. or software that would solve the problem + clear instructions.
Thank You

Hi
I am using XDA II , I think tomtom setting is same. after installing tomtom you need to pair the phone with reciever. Once paired goto settings, system,bluetooth settings.
Make sure you have 'ticks' place in 'Bluetooth Serial Port settings'
Inbound Com port : Com4 ( activate by placing tick )
Outbound Com port : Com5 ( activate by placing tick )
thats all the setting for bluetooth you need on the phone.
Start tomtom and goto 'Change Prefereance' and then Show GPS status.
in there you can select your reciever type and then in configuration menu select com5, it should pick some sattelites. on mine it takes a little while to pick the signal.
On the tomtom gps connection menu BT is listed as Com 6 (it is on mine) but that is incorrect, so you need to select Com5. I tried both com4 and com5 and it worked, so tried both com ports.
I hope you can understand what i am waffeling on about .

HTC Touch Pro - Active Sync with Vista via Bluetooth

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.
Ben

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

EZ Solution
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.

creating new COM 1 port for HP BT Keyboard on HTC devices

hello guys. I need to ask you, if anybody tried to solve my problem. I have couple of PDAs and I cannot get work this HP FA287A Bluetooth Folding Keyboard on any pda. I have one HP 614c, where it works correctly. the main problem is, that on HTC phones (Universal, Wizard, Touch) is only COM6 and COM7 available. so even if I install driver for this keyboard here it automatically tryin to connect to COM1. On HP there is 10 COM ports available...
so the question is, it is any way, how to map paired device to another port? in this case COM1?
thanx a milion

ohh and I did found few virtual COM drivers on the net, I will try them ASAP and will provide feedback. but I guess, this will be not easy.

Internal GPS sharing over bluetooth

Hi All,
I'd like to share GPS data from my ASUS P750 (running on WM 6.1) over bluetooth to other device (my PC).
I seareched the network and forum and the only possibility I found is GpsGate. I'm looking for alternatives.
Does anyone have any idea how to:
- create outgoing port for GPS and share to that port data from internal COM (GPS).
Thank you in advance for any ideas.

Thank You for quick replay.
The tool is nearly perfect.
The only thing I miss in it is automatic incoming bleutooth COM port configuration, i.e. after instalig and configuring the GPS2Blue it doesn't work automatically (at least on my WM 6.1). To make it working you have to manually add incoming BT COM port. So for those who don't want to spend time on Google.
To add incoming COM port add to your registry following entries (found in other thread):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Serial\Ports\Incoming]
"RemoteDCB"=dword:00000000
"KeepDCD"=dword:00000000
"Encryption"=dword:00000001
"Authentication"=dword:00000001
"Server"=dword:00000001
"Port"="COM6"
(For lazy ones attached Add Incoming COM6.zip)
Greetings

cyklon:
What do you mean by "automatically"? I just tried out this piece of software, and I'll be pairing it with a Bluetooth receiver on a camera. At some point, I would like to implement a shortcut on my phone which launches this program, opens a port, and automatically starts sending the data (rather than clicking through things). Is that what the registry setting below does for you, or are you talking about something else?

Hi Austin519,
I don’t get what is your goal.
This tool among others allows you to get data from internal GPS device and send it to other COM port. For example you can use it to forward your internal GPS data to other phone or computer over Bluetooth COM port. In the tool you set the source COM (which is assigned to you internal GPS) and destination BT COM port (this port needs to be created by manually as incoming BT COM port).
I hope it help if not please describe what you want to achieve and what devices you wish to use.
