good morning all. I am attempting to establish a personal area network with my wizard. I did a little research and found out that the windows mobile 5 bluetooth drivers failed to have PAN implemented in there stack. I found the widcomm bluetooth drivers for windows mobile, but they didn't work and trying to remove them forced a hard reset. anybody know how I could get PAN on my wizard? I'm testing on manila beta 4 windows mobile 6.

Hi,
I recently upgraded to the bluetooh Widcomm stack on the laptop. Its better, more complete software but I seem to have lost 2 bits of functionality :
1. Only the device can initiate a bluetooth connection. Nothing I do from the PC will establish a working connection, even though it does see the device.
2. My bluetooh sat nav no longer pairs with the laptop. No idea why. But it's pain - because bluetooth was the only way to connect. It's never been recognised by XP as a USB device.,
any one had similar experience ? wm5 on a prophet.
bump.....sorry
I've got desktop PC with Linux and bluetooth but without WiFi so I am using BT PAN network access point service on the desktop PC and BT PAN client on my notebook to connect wireless when at home. Both are BT 2.0+EDR so the speed is about 3.0Mbps.
I've got Hermes with WM6 5.2.1933 and MS BT stack.
Is there a way I can connect to Internet over BT PAN?
I know there is some bluetooth PAN support as it can be used in Internet sharing but I haven't figured out how to connect to existing BT PAN network.
Any advice?
it's not for linux but you should read this one

Thank you, it looks promising, I was able to find my bluetooth PAN interface and setup IP and DNS for it but I am unable to find any "Join a personal network" button in my bluetooth settings.
Where can I find the damn button?
OK, so just to close the topic...
the problem is in MS bluetooth stack which doesn't support bluetooth PAN client profile. The only solution for now is to install cracked Widcomm bluetooth stack on devices which originally came with the MS one. The project for this can be found on XDA wiki.
Current status for the Hermes (my sweety) is that you can make it work, can have BT PAN client but some other things doesn't work correctly (bt on/off in comm manager, bt audio profile doesn't work very well, ...).
What bout use WM6 with Internet haring Feature, that's all the stuff related to sharing internet using Bluetooth.
Regards,
Taguapire.
Internet Connection Sharing is the other way around: you can use your WM6 device as a PAN access point, and the PC (e.g. a notebook) is the PAN client.
KOPRajs, you can use ActiveSync over Bluetooth. On the PC you need SynCE (http://www.synce.org/). The wiki there is currently under construction, and I can't find anything about Bluetooth now, but there's a Howto for Ubuntu over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50932 .
Thx, I have actually SynCE working (even over bluetooth) but I was unable to set up MS proxy (or whatever it is) so even when it's connected, apps on the phone do not know about active connection and tries to dial up a GPRS instead of using Active Sync connection.
And more, the whole SynCE thing is highly unstable yet so that's why would be nice to use BT PAN client.
Hi,
Does anybody have ever connected the VDA GPS to a Bluetooth Access Point (BTAP) at home in order to go online via broadband speed rather than GPRS?
How will be the settings?
I have a blue2net and cannot figure out how to establish a data connection between both devices...
Hi tuo_kaerf,
did you get a connection between the VDA GPS and the Siemens blue2net?
I'm looking for a solution to get into www with the blue2net too, but i still haven't found a way to connect these items...
Unfortunately not, due to the PAN profile in Windows Mobile, which is not sufficient for connecting with the BTAP. It is only designed for connecting to other BT enabled devices, such as mobile phones, but not a BTAP.
Could changing the bluetooth stack from microsoft to widcomm be a solution?
This can't be a problem of bluetooth, this must be a software problem...

Click to expand...

Funny you, a problem with bluetooth profiles *IS* a software problem
Upps. I originally ment "This can't be a hardware problem"...
So there must be a workaround to get this problem solved.
I'm back again...
Could flashing the VDA GPS to Windows Mobile 6.1 be a solution for this problem?
Hope the title says everything about my problem.
HTC P3452 (ELFIN) using a custom 6.1 ROM(with the default MS BT stack)
Windows XP Professional SP3 using Widcomm BT stack
UTSTARCOM router to connect to the internet.
My problem:
I want to use bluetooth as the primary medium of connection between PC and PPC .
By 'connection'; I only mean efficient file sharing and internet connection sharing (only from PC to PPC; not the other way round; 'cause I don't have a GPRS/EDGE data plan on my PPC)
MS Activesync does both of these (but not very efficiently) , and there are a lot tutorials on how to connect PC and PPC using Bluetooth and then sync them using Activesync. But as everyone knows, being the crappiest software ever Activesync often auto-disconnects, even if the PC and PPC are still connected by bluetooth .
Using the ready-made solutions provided by the Widcomm Software, it's very easy to share files, as the MS stack supports FTP.
The Widcomm software also offers a service named "My network access" and creates a Bluetooth LAN connection on PC; and those were supposed to be able to establish a LAN connection between PC and PPC over Bluetooth, but it doesn't .
(The MS BT stack of Windows Mobile doesn't enable PAN by default. I used a hack by some user of this forum (wm6btpan) . But that doesn't seem to solve the problem either, although it enables me to use my PPC as a remote control.. )
So at this point, I need your help in establishing the connection between the PC and PPC so that the PPC can use PC's internet connection. For the last 1.5 days I have searched nearly hundreds of resources but nowhere found a complete solution working for a HTC Touch. If , with your help ,I can get my setup going, then I promise to put up a full fledged tutorial on how to do this...
Hoping early response..

read this?
as I ve already written , I 've already gone through hundreds of threads in different forums, and it was definitely one of them.. the last few instructions
are..
# Tap the Bluetooth icon and tap the link saying <u>Bluetooth Manager</u>.
# Tap the starred Bluetooth icon.
# Tap the Join a personal network.
# Select Join a personal network option and tap Next.
# After your Connection Wizard sees your computer, select it and select Finish so that your HTC Creates a shortcut for this connection named Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere'. Please note that there is no need for a secure/encrypted connection.
# Double tap or hold and select Connect to the Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere' to make a connection with your access point.
# At this point or later, your HTC will ask you if this connection is a Work or Internet connection. I have chosen this as my Work connection.
But in HTC TOUCH there is no "bluetooth manager" or "join a personal network option" (probably they were in WM5). So this wiki doesn't help much..
anyway thanks for your response.
no one else interested ?
hey.. forum veterans.. please respond...
still no one ?
forum mod, can u please move it to the elfin forum ?
I have installed Gremote, Salling Clicker and Mobile Remote, but I can't make them work on my mobile (LG MS25).
Gremote: The major problem is that the program cannot discovery the PC IP, even with activesync, Ad-Hoc network.
Salling Clicker: Does not recognize the smartphone bluetooth, so it's impossible to connect.
MobileRemote: I'm not sure what the problem is, but the program shows an error (There was an error connecting to the computer. Please ensure that your computer is on, has Bluetooth enabled, and has an active pairing with this machine).
I've tried to make ActiveSync connections and Ad-hoc to enable the communication, unfortunately I got no results. Could anyone help me?
