so i just got the new 1005ha asus netbook today and spent the day setting it up as well as the bluetooth to the fuze. i got it to work with my stereo headset as well as to use data over bluetooth for internet
but i cant seem to make it sync up through activesync for file sharing
any help?
ive had the computer setup a port and told the phone to search in activesync and it doesnt find the com port just the same services each time
OK, sorry if you already did all this, its not 100% clear from your posts:
Create a new incoming port on the PC in bluetooth properties. (exactly where this is may vary - on my win xp its called "bluetooth devices" in control panel)
open active sync (on the pc). File / connection settings. check "allow connections to one of the following" <select the com port you just created>
make sure the pc is discoverable & phone bt is on
on the phone - open bluetooth settings and add a new device
select pc, pair, save etc
hopefully now the phone will see the pc, and activesync will now be available as a service
select sevice, save etc.
launch activesync on phone, and select "connect via bluetooth"
remember to disconnect when you're done! - it wont close the bt connection just because its finished its sync

i have matched the port available to the one in active syn
but
its not working
tried other ports too
dont know what to do ???!!?!?!?!?!?!?
PLEASE HELP
open your bluetooth setting first then add incoming port... to your o2 mini active sync, tap onnect via bluetooth...
solution that works
Hi,
I've found this article on another forum. I have tried it and it works !!!
1 To sync with BT first delete all your pairing with your computer and phone on both devices.
2 Go to BT Manager on your phone and click both check boxes for Inbound and Outbound COM ports and pair the devices.
3 Once they are paired go to BT manager (on the phone) again and click on the start button (for BT ActiveSync setup) and pair the devices again if you have to.
4 Once that is done make sure that on the computer in BT Settings the the Serial Port Profile (SPP) "Serial Port COM4" is checked.Click on the phone device>property>services.
5 After that on the computer's BT Manager itself ensure that the COM ports folder shows incoming and outgoing ports with the phone's name in front.
6 Open ActiveSync (on the computer) ensure that the COM port no. is the same as the Incoming COM port no. given in step 5 above and it being shown as available. Sometimes if it is unavailable, the computer needs to be rebooted and then it will be shown as available.
7 Click on ActiveSync thru BT on the phone and it should work.
8 Whenever you wanna disconnect ActiveSync press stop on the compouter to disconnect.
My USB cable was damaged long time ago. And since then, I was successfully synching my Imate pocked pc 2003 with my pc using Bluetooth. All was working ok and synchronization was working using BlueTooth because partnership was already created on my machine using USB cable..
Problem started when I refreshed my laptop and reinstall windows xp. I reinstalled ActiveSync 3.8 and did Bluetooth setup. But can’t get ActiveSync running using Bluetooth. After reading different articles on net, it was mentioned everywhere that partnerships are required to be setup before Bluetooth sync using USB cable.
Everytime, I was trying to open “Connection Setting, was showing “Get Connected” dialog to search active connection. But Bluetooth connection cannot be searched using “Get Connected” dialog box.
To hack this, I exported registry entries from my other desktop pc and imported in my new fresh machine. Before import, I changed folder location in registry file according to my new pc.
Before import, please create backup of this registry node before importing attached file.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
After importing, “Connection Setting” dialog also opened successfully without connection search dialog. Here I changed my required port (COM5-Bluetooth port). And then from my pocket pc, in Tool menu of ActiveSync, I clicked “Connect using Bluetooth”. And surprisingly ActiveSync connected using Bluetooth with my laptop machine.
After connection, ActiveSync start asking to start new Partnership and then all work as usual.
Please contact me directly in case of any issue.

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've noticed that many people are looking for a solution to automatically sync their devices using ActiveSync bluetooth sync.
for this... you will need 2 tools and one script
1. MortScript - http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/mortscript/MortScript-4.1.zip
2. BlueStarter - http://smartmobiletools.freehostia.com/drupal2/system/files/BlueStarterCab.CAB
3. BTSync script (written by le_cactus) - included in this post (downstairs)
these are the steps you need to follow:
1. install mortscript
2. install bluestarter
3. put the script file in a dir of your choice
4. launch bluestarter
5. set the bluetooth device you want to sync with (all should appear in a dropbox)
6. write the path of the script file (e.g. \\storage card\\BTSync.mscr)
7. go to menu/interval config and choose the way you want to sync..
8. (DONT FORGET THIS STEP) open the script file and change all NIR36-PC to the name of your bluetooth connection, that is to your comp's name.
A few clarifications.
- if you set the interval to "On Power Button Pressed" a BTSync connection will occur EVERY time you wake your device up
- if you set the interval to "Time Interval" it will sync every set amount of time.. and even if you're sleeping and your comp is on it will sync and stay synced.. so it may drain your battery.
- in any case, if your comp is off, it will try to sync but nothing will happen.
if you're looking for a normal BTSync without an interval you can just set one of the hardware buttons to run the .mscr

This is an old guide i wrote about 10 months ago. might help you out.
After a lot of strugle with using Wireless Headsets, Serial Ports, Activesync over BT and Sideshow... i managed to have them all work.. on VISTA and XP.
So i decided to write a fully detailed tutorial for whoever needs it.
1. Know your Stack.
if your stack is the toshiba one, when you right click on the bt trayicon you should see OPTIONS..
if your stack is the microsoft one, ... well.. you will not see OPTIONS
2. before starting to deal with services i suggest you download one of the stacks below, according to your demand, and install them. also install Windows Mobile Device Center (from now on WMDC).
This is WMDC6.1 x86...
http://rapidshare.com/files/120340376/MobileDeviceCenter6.1-x86.exe.html
These are both the LATEST versions of both stacks: (up until the day of posting this message of course )
TOSHIBA STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120186967/TOSHIBA_BTSTACK.zip
MS STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120187911/MS_BTSTACK.exe
i strongly suggest you keep both files on your comp as a cover for any services one might provide while the other doesn't.
to save you the trouble. (after a correction from Jadel):
MS Stack works with both Activesync AND sideshow.
TOSHIBA Stack is problematic although more userfriendly AND provides some different options which might come handy. i had to go thru a ****load of trouble to sync it with Vista... and syncing it with XP isn't a teaparty either.
3. after finding out which one you have we can begin.
AS - ActiveSync.
this will probably be the most problematic service to have working since a lot of times it DOESNT APPEAR AS A SERVICE. when you try to sync with the comp it tells you you have to pair it.. even tho the device is already paired with the comp.
XP might be more flexible with this but the solution is for both XP and VISTA.
To Async using TOSHIBA Stack do the following:
a. open Control Panel and open the BT Ports editor..
b. add a port and choose it as a Server.. (usually it rounds up to ports 6 or 7 but you may have to try others..)
c. go to WMDC/Connection Settings and mark "Allow connections to one of the following.." and choose the port you created.
d. on your device go to Bluetooth Settings and add a new device... put the desired passkey... and you should see a list of the services the computer provides the PDA.
e. now this is a bit tricky to deal with. sometimes ActiveSync might not appear there. if it doesn't, go to COM Ports (in bluetooth settings on your device) and add the COM port you added on your comp..
go back to Devices and choose your comp and click Refresh. if ActiveSync appears there, mark it. if it doesn't, you should delete your comp from your device and this time add the port BEFORE finding your comp. it that doesn't work, you should follow the links i will provide soon.
f. on your device, open ActiveSync and under Menu choose Connect Via Bluetooth.
To Async using MICROSOFT Stack do the following:
a. open Control Panel and open Bluetooth Devices
b. click Add and add your device. go to Options and mark "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" and "Allow Bluetooth Devices to connec to this computer". you can also mark other options as desired.
c. go to COM ports and add an INCOMING port. it will choose a port for you automatically.
d. go to WMDC/Connection Settings and mark "Allow connections to one of the following.." and choose the port you created.
e. go back to Devices and choose your PDA. choose Properties and go to Services. there you should see all services your PDA provides. one of them should be Active Sync Bluetooth Service. mark it and click OK. your comp and PDA should connect and disconnect a few secs later.
f. on your device, open ActiveSync and under Menu choose Connect Via Bluetooth.
(if these methods don't work you should follow the reference links in the below post).
SP - Serial Port.
some services demand a serial port. for instance, if you're using the Desktop iGO8 and would like to connect a BT GPS receiver to your comp the serial port service must be enabled. i found TOSHIBA's stack to be much more flexible concerning port usage. in Control panel you have a BT Ports icon somewhere.. if you double click on it.. it will let you play with the ports and change them to help you adjust various devices as well as use the ports as Clients or as Servers. this is important for ActiveSync as well (depending on the device).
An example:
Ipaq's Desktop iGO8 supports a Bluetooth GPS receiver. to use it, you have to define a COM port (just as we did for activesync, depending on your stack)...
you will have to define a port for the receiver and make sure the Serial Port service is marked or the program will not identify the PDA. some programs might NOT need this service at all.
(of course, this is only for people who want to use their PDA's GPS receiver. people who have a seperate GPS receiver might get the port number automatically when pairing it with the computer or have to find the correct port themselves (in older receivers).
also, to use the Networking feature you have to use the Serial port service. (i will post links for this as well).
WH - I would prefer leaving this for later as i play with it a little further.
SS - Sideshow. (Vista Users)
i tried using sideshow on 3 different devices. Wizard, Polaris and Titan.
all 3 came out with nothing when i used the TOSHIBA stack. the devices didn't discover the SideShow service even tho it was installed on my comp and my device was paired with the comp.
now if you're using the MICROSOFT stack.. it's a whole different area.
Alright. so a little batch of detailed insturctions about using this:
(during the process make sure your device is DISCOVERABLE)
IMPORTANT! you should make sure the Sideshow software is active on your device while doing this. i tried syncing the service once with it on and once off and it sorta confused me. so we'll just agree on having it ON.
To use sideshow using TOSHIBA Stack do the following:
a. on your device, go to Bluetooth Settings
b. add your device.
c. look for the Sideshow service in the list. if it's there, Mark it, (on your comp) go to control panel, go to sideshow, and you should be able to mark V on the gadgets you'd like to use.
d. if it's not there, you should add a port on both your device and your computer. the ports should match.
e. go back to devices and refresh the Services list.
f. to my knowledge, if it doesn't work up to this point, give it up
To use sideshow using MICROSOFT Stack do the following:
a. open Control Panel and open Bluetooth Devices
b. click Add and add your device. go to Options and mark "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" and "Allow Bluetooth Devices to connect to this computer". you can also mark other options as desired.
c. go to COM ports and add an INCOMING port. it will choose a port for you automatically.
d. go to Devices and choose your PDA. choose Properties and go to Services. there you should see all services your PDA provides. one of them should be Windows Sideshow. mark it and click OK. your comp and PDA should connect and disconnect a few secs later.
e. go to control panel, go to sideshow, and you should be able to mark V on the gadgets you'd like to use.
after syncing the service and choosing the gadgets you'd like to use from Control Panel/Windows Sideshow you can go back to your device and go back to the sideshow software and click Connect....... ................. ........
TP - Technical Port (this concerns only people who use ASUS's GXP Factory PDA so if you're not, just ignore this).
for the GXP to control Wireless devices such as ELTO's waterpipe controller and Applied Materials' connectors you HAVE to have a Technical port enabled as a service. other than Serial port this is the only service the GXP provides, so you won't have much trouble enabling it as it's part of the software.. it will always appear. MAKE SURE you DO NOT create another bluetooth port as it will use it instead of the default one and you will not be able to control ANY of the wireless devices around you.
i will update this post further on with detailed instructions for the use of every service and some howtos.
Hope it helps.

I would like to have my Fuze connected to my laptop via the usb cable for charging and activesync, but use my phones wifi for internet.
Problem is anytime I connect the USB cable it drops my phones wifi connection and starts using my laptops internet connection, which is a pain while listening to streaming music and disconnecting often to run an errand. Ideally would like to keep activesync going to allow using mymobiler.
Thanks for any help.

start -> settings -> usb to pc -> uncheck advanced network functionality
Next time search my friend.
Close thread please!
Mod edit : Shazad, Please respect other users and we will decide what and when to close, thank you.
> "start -> settings -> usb to pc -> uncheck advanced network functionality"
I recalled that option on my Hermes, but it appears different on the TP. I don't have the "advanced network functionality option. Attached are the options I see under Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC. Only get options for ActiveSync and Disk Drive modes. Disk Drive mode disables activesync and hence MyMobiler.
I did a pretty extensive search using the the forum search option as well as site specific google with terms/combo's like usb, activesync, wifi, enable, internet connection, sharing,... but didn't find anything related to allowing phone wifi use while connected to a PC which is connected to the internet.

I have a Topaz and I experiened a similar problem - Internet Connection Sharing comes on automatically everytime I plug a USB cable between it and my computer, but I didn't activate it - the mode was supposed to be "Disk Drive Mode" on settings\connections\USB to PC, but there was no option to disable it either.
I had just found the solution -
1. with USB cable disconnected, select "Ask me first" on the USB to PC setup, click OK.
2. Connect USB cable to PC. The 3 choices come up from a HTC setup screen:
o Activesync
o Disk Drive
* Internet Connection Sharing
o Don't ask me again
DONE
QUICKLY click "Disk Drive" radio button AND check "Don't ask me again" AND click Done below it BEFORE internet connection sharing comes up. It will now stay in disk drive mode.
See if it works?
