I was wondering if anyone has managed to get this working. I have a TyTn and am using a kensington dongle with the latest widcomm drivers. But to get my computer to pair with my phone WITH activesync as a feature is nearly impossible and there is no way to connect with WDMC, through USB it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated

Same problem with me...
And I can't also connect to Internet when I'am synchronized with Windows Vista Ultimate...
Help, please...
Internet is working now... Windows Mobile Device Center update: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ea-9df9-4920-af33-3a0e2e4e7beb&DisplayLang=en.
But my problem with Bluetooth remains...
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.
I know i should know how to do this but what's the trick to getting the TF300 to connect to my laptop over bluetooth?
When i connect the tablet i get "Windows was unable to install device driver" and in the device mangler it shows two entries for "bluetooth peripheral device" with a yellow exclamation mark.
My Acer A500 connects without any problems.
My TF300 is on .29 firmware and my laptop is running Windows 7 64-bit
i have 3 bluetooth headsets and none of them work with my windows 7 laptop,
it does recognize the headsets but just say that error (bluetooth peripheral device). never able to install driver
while the headsets work fine on my sister's ipod touch, my brother's ipad, but never work for windows 7
if anyone knows how to fix this issue please let me know
but how does your acer a500 connect with windows 7?
I just paired my transformer with my Windows 7 64 bit laptop via bluetooth without issues. Windows 7 also supports headphones (old Jabra 620's) and a
Creative 200 speaker. My laptop devices under bluetooth list my laptops. Radio BCM2046 and a Microsoft bluetooth enumerator.
You might check out the various Win 7 support areas/forums.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
Same here. No issues pairing Windows 7 64-bit. Of course I made sure my laptop had an internet connection so it could download and install the necessary drivers.

I have an internet connection and everything else i pair with it works... (headsets, my Photon, my A500) ..
Not something i NEED...just wondering if anyone had any ideas
Wasn't trying to be snarky before. Sometimes just have to start from beginning. Lenovo laptop, Win7/64-bit/SP1 current with all updates when I got the TF300. Literally just turned on BT and paired. Think I made tablet discoverable and found it on laptop.
I do run into problems from time to time with both wifi and BT configs. When things fail for whatever reason I end up deleting, rebooting and recreating. It is Microsoft afterall...
Hey everyone !
So here's the problem : I've got a Nexus 7 + Galaxy S2 I727R that I'd like to use at work. I could tether the connection from my S2 to my tablet and use that but I'm not on unlimited data plan. I also know I can share my PC connection via Bluetooth but that'd need a specific software to be installed, in the lines of stuff like BlueSoleil. Considering I have no admin rights at workplace, is there any alternative that would permit me to share the PC connection via a Bluetooth dongle without installing a software ? The BT dongle is detected AND installed via Windows 7 but there is no BT icons in the bottom-right corner and there's no built-in BT-software on the computer.
I did my research on the PortableApps forum, which would be a decent option but I can't seem to find anything...
Anyone had any luck sharing Internet over BT on a workplace PC ?
Thanks.
P.S : Remember, no admin rights.
Sorry you can't use a BT dongle without some sort of bluetooth software installed
Yes there are bluetooth dongles which are plug and play, which don't need installing drivers, see these ones for example
BLUETOOTH ADAPTER DONGLE PC LAPTOP-PLUG "N" PLAY - UK
Tiny Plug & Play Bluetooth 2.0 USB Dongle 100m range
Mini Bluetooth Dongle for Computers and Laptops - Plug N Play Transfer Files
Problem is all of them support Bluetooth 2.0 not 2.1+EDR, please advise and please help find a bluetooth dongle which is plug and play and is designed for bluetooth 2.1+EDR
Thing is, even with the bluetooth dongle working you won't be able to share Internet connection through ICS without admin rights. If anyone has a workaround on this, it would be appreciated!! I'd like to use my S2 more at work, but with 250mb / month it's left unused most of the day =/

Have a question for you smart folks. So I've run into this problem of not having a mic for my pc so bought a dongle and it doesn't work and got me thinking, must be an app for that so I looked and found the only one out there is a virus on the PC client side (won't mention names) So I'm wondering, are we able to like maybe make a midi connection through USB PC to the phone and the phone can send the audio/mic to my headset and completely eliminate the none reliability of said bluetooth dongle? I meant there has to be a way somehow if it is plugged in via USB correct?
