Does anyone know of a program that will display ur today screen on ur computer...like a virtual dashboard? i broke my screen on my kaiser yesterday and I am waiting on my replacement, but i have some emails that i need to read... anyone know of a program like this?
ActiveSync Remote Display. You sync your phone with the computer, run ActiveSync Remote Display on the computer, and it will display the contents of the screen. It's how a lot of people get screenshots of what is on their phone. Special installation instructions for WM6.

Thanks, but I found a program called MyMobiler .. works really good... and works with Vista
I use MyMobiler also, works good.
works great, especially since you can launch it from the desktop. No need to do anything on the PPC.
Wireless data connection not active...
There is one issue with ActiveSync Remote Display and Mobiler. Because they both use Activesync, once the WM6 device is connected via Activesync, the wireless data capability of the WM6 device stops because the WM6 device begins to use the internet data connection on the PC.
Is there a workaround so that the WM6 keeps it's wireless data connection active when connected back to the PC/laptop and yet still enables me to control the WM6 device using my laptops display/keyboard/mouse?
Ultimately, I would like the WM6 device to run a virtual display program (similar to what Nyditot use to offer) so that I can run at 800x600 and use my laptop to control the WM6 device.
Why would I want to do this? Because I have an fixed $ rate unlimited data plan that is unlimited only if data terminates/initiates from my WM6 device.
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.
Has anyone been able to get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth in Vista with a 2125? Which English ROM will I have the best of luck with as my USB Bluetooth on my desktop computer running vista ultimate x86 keeps telling me that my phone doesnt support activesync over bluetooth.
Also where can I get the Stock Cingular ROM for my 2125?
Can anyone point to to a guide on how to set it up?
any ideas?
many thanks,
SG
No one has because you dont need Active Sync in Vista, Vista comes preloaded with Windows Mobile Device Centre
Sorry I meant to say "Windows Mobile Device Centre"
I cant tell if it is becuase of my USB BT Dongle or my 2125. When I try to esablish a BT ActiveSync connection from my 2125 it says there is no partnership setup with a computer that supports activesync. yet I believe my BT Dongle does.
Any ideas?

Have you done a wired sync with that computer before? If not, you should do it. I've read that in the past. It fixed a sync problem with one of my phones, however, I've done it w/o too and it works. Have you created a BT Partnership between your computer and your phone? When you create the partnership, click on Advanced, re-confirm the PC name, then on the Services Window, checkmark Active sync. Then open active sync on phone, and click on right menu and chose Connect via BT. It should work. Good Luck!
EDIT: The partnership has to be created from the phone, not from the PC. If created from the PC, as far as my experience, it'll create a Modem Dialup connection partnership that will allow the PC to connect to the internet via BT using Wap connection on your phone. If you do want to create that too, use *99# as the dialup phone number. Leave blank the User name and PW.
Thanks for the reply.
When I try to setup a partnership from the phone I see my computer but I only see 3 service. Stereo somthing, handsfree, and something else but none of which are active sync. Yet when I look on my computer I see that activesync is in the list and selected.
I have a IOGear BT211 (Broadcom 2045) USB Dongle running in Vista Ultimate SP1.
Could it be my BT211 Driver? I have the latest version 5.1.x
Thanks,
Well the new phone I bought has all the drivers for Vista on CD. But its installed on my son's Laptop and he don't let daddy get nearby his toys LOL so, I really couldn't help more. I do know active sync works over BT with Vista. So I guess you'll have to keep trying. Do you have any instalation CD for your phone? From what I remember, if you don't have the "Outlook" that comes with the phone instalation, you might not be able to. I remember it didn't work untill we installed the one on the phone CD. All though, his Laptop had MS Office already installed. So... take a look around that.
My Bad. I had the wrong Window drivers installed for my BT on my desktop. LOL. Who would have though that the Windows XP drivers wouldnt work under Vista? lol
Thanks for the help.

activesync (Windows Mobile Device Center) via bluetooth on Vista
I went through a similarly difficult experience with a Lenovo laptop. I blogged about it here:
http://mitchwyle.blogspot.com/2008/11/activesync-via-bluetooth.html
I've a software to control a locator GPS-GSM device and I need my HTC works like a modem. When I put my HTC into the USB must be recognized like a COM (start-control pannel- system-hardware-device administrator) to make a data call via this software. It musn't initiate the Active Sync software.
This software only works when a modem is connected. Before I connected my V3 Motorola Phone.
Any solutions?
Thanks
You can disable the ActiveSync on your PDA, just activate it, Menu -> connections, untick...
But for what reason would you wan't to use it as a modem? use it as a wired GPS device or connect to the Internet using it?
If the First, I'd recommend the Franson GPSGate, for the second use the ICS (internet sharing) App on your PDA...
I want my HTC Cruise was recognized like a modem when I connect it with the PC via USB.
Why?
Because I must download tracks from a GPS-GSM locator device installed into my car to recover my car if it were stolen, via software installed in the PC.
Before I connected my V3 Motorola Phone via USB to the PC, then it was recognized like a modem USB in COM4 for example. Then I set the communications setting from the software and I maked a data call from the software PC via V3 phone to the SIM installed into the car.
Now I need to connect my HTC instead of V3 and I expect it was recognized like a modem in certain COM.
Do you understand me?
Thanks
Yes this can be done.
1. Connect TC to PC like you would to sync. (you do need to make the active sync setting for allow wireless connection is checked)
2. go to progarms on the Pocket PC. There you find an app called Interent sharing.
3. Hit conect once you open the progarm.
4. Do what you need on the net.
I don't need sync the HTC with the PC and I don´t need to connect to the net.
Let's imagine that we want to use the hyperterminal program in the PC, you must select a modem that it's installed in a certain COM with a desired speed, protocol, etc
Do you understand now?
Thank you.
I guess I'm seeing where this is headed...
Basicly you wan't the PDA to show up as a Dial-Up modem... I've done a bit of searching and with WM6, the dial-up modem function has been effectively replaced by the ICS, the main reason is, it was a b*tch to configure for internet access, and that is use of it in 99% of cases...
Unless the program you're using needs to actually see the modem I'd try to configure the ICS (add an extra connection) to connect to it... if it needs to see it as a modem, (and you want to keep the PDA), get a cheap phone that you can occasionally use as a modem for this task
Using the ICS will disable the activesync for that connection, but if you wan't to disable the activesync just follow the steps mentioned before...
I reckon bluetooth is the only way to go for this, need to dig out my BT dongle to check but I think it should allow you to use the phones dial-up service.
Maybe this?
Maybe you need this?

hello my htc touch pro does not connect with activesync but the phone works perfectly
usb?
bluetooth?
tried other usb ports if usb ?
tried another computer?
yes i have tryed all tha no differance it will not work with active synce i tryed a hard restaand all what i could think of
1. check the manual
2. get newest activesync from microsoft
3. check settings (connection - usb to pc)
4. keep in mind, that it does not work with vista (at least it's not that easy)
5. if all that does not help, google or post again... we should find a solution
Also, do you synch another phone on this same computer? XP/winmo hasn't previously allowed synching two mobile devices. However i see they are offering a mobile "suite" that will help with this. (at winmo site).
When i first got my fuze i went thru this very same thing. Because my kaiser was already being used on the same computer.
yeah my kasier syncs fine
You should backup your data and upgrade your ROM. Which one are you using now? My experiences says it may solve a lot of troubles...
had this same problem a while back. make sure you don't have activesync on your computer looking for the old partnership and try going to settings>connections(tab)>USB to PC and unchecking "enable advanced network functionality" or if that is unchecked, try re-checking it.
