Good morning,
I have a problem, I guess I'm very stupid, but I can't use the quick share application - I don't have it on my windows - and I can't handle nearby devices either.
When sharing nearby windows, windows cannot see the phone - even if it changes the visibility to everyone, it does not change anything.
And how do you exchange files with windows wirelessly? Do you have any tutorials?
Do you have phone link enabled?

Yes
The phone and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
They are connected via BT
They are connected via the app via a QR code
The nearby device scan application from the phone does not find the computer.
Whatever I do, the devices cannot see each other, even though they are connected to the same WiFi network / via BT / connection application.
The only thing that I noticed about the irregularities is that when I am connected by phone to the computer using the connect application - BT connection is not established, and the connection attempt ends with a connection error.
Do you have security suite enabled av + fw? If yes see if it is blocking connections. Try creating a direct Bluetooth connection pc (add Bluetooth device) to phone
And check pc event viewer for errors
Quick Share/Nearby Share only work between Samsung devices. You have to have a Samsung Windows PC for this to work.

Hi there,
Just got a new qtek8310 with Windows mobile5 and activesync version 4.1.0 build 4841. Using it with a computer connected to a windows domain network.
The computer have enabled offline files, (can view/edit files in offline mode etc) This is build function in windows xp.
However when I sync the mobile device sometimes it drops the connection to the network and puts me in offline mode with the network, I need to resync offlinefiles to re-establish the network. This happens randomly, often when I connected the device. I think has something to do with the new network adapter it creates everytime you connect the device to sync (breakes the currently connections?).
The sync with contacts etc from outlook works 100%
I followed instructions ActiveSync 4.0 USB Connection Troubleshooting Guide
at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
Still same problems, It has same effect with or without firewall enabled (xpsp2)
anyone same problem / clues ?
thanks.
Any solution to this? I'm still going through the search results but my customer w/ the save AS version has the same problem with 2 diff phones on 2 diff workstations.
Hi!
I know this is a question is on the edge of what this forum and web-site is about, but let me explain my problem and see if anyone have any tips
I work with PDAs of all types, and the problem is not related to brand, if it is Windows Mobile 5 or 6 (Modem Link vs Internet Sharing, even tested Modem Link on a WM6 device since I get pre-samples) or tele-operator.
At home I haven't got Internet via ADSL/Broadband - I have to use a PDA as modem to surf on the internet. I have one hotmail-account and one Yahoo-account. When I try to login, it seems to login - shows contacts briefly - loads the icons in the MSN application (MSN Windows Live Messenger 8.1) - and the disconnects - starts to reconnect, and the same happens again.
I use Activesync 4.5, but have used 4.2 which I "trust" (if that is possible) more. Have disabled "Allow USB Connections". I just thought of using USB Killer to force serial communication - I will get back to the result of this..
I have installed AVG Anti-virus (free personal edition), Spyware Doctor and SpyBot. Tried to disable these and make changes to internal Windows Firewall. Without success..
At work my PC is connected to internet via ADSL and everything works, well okay. Sometimes MSN freezes, but no login problems. I have a theory about it has something to do with the IP the PDA gets from the tele-network, but tried the APN for public IP-address..no success.
Have anyone experienced problems like me when using PDA as modem ? As I use MSN for my job I would be very happy to get tips!
a bit confusing "At work my PC is connected to internet via ADSL and everything works, well okay. "
is this pda related? are you saying that your normal pc with a normal network is ok with msn?
or are you connecting your pda to that pc as well
are you using activesync to try to get your pda to connect to your pc at homes network or other other way around?
your phone isp can block all ports they want which could result in msn issues of cause then it would be both on the pda and the pc

when you try to use internet sharing on your ppc at home, are you able to browse web sites/read mail on the home pc ?
I am using a laptop at work, which I bring with me back home.
At work I connect to internet via ADSL, not using PDA there. MSN have no (not login problems) problems at work.
At home I usually disable "Allow USB Connections" in Activesync, connect PDA to laptop via USB cable, wait a bit - then use Internet Sharing to connect via the GPRS connection I have configured on the PDA.
It works just fine to surf, send e-mails, etc. But, when I start MSN on laptop - it starts the handshake-process, it seems to login - loads the sidebar icons in MSN and "the connection is lost" (msn) - I can still surf on the internet. MSN keeps reconnecting.. login..closes the connection. etc. at the end..after minutes or many hours it will log me in.
I will try some brand new devices tonight as modem. By the way, switching from RNDIS communication to Serial - between laptop and PDA didn't help.
Any help appreciated!
Small update..
Yesterday I tried a brand new unknown unofficial WM6 device as modem. Configured GPRS, used Internet Sharing and it logged on to msn without any trouble. I will test it more before I come to any conclution if this just was one-time-luck or..
Ok, here's the problem.
How to configure my connection, so when I connect my device to Windows Mobile Device Center it can connect to the internet. When I set the Internet Connection Sharing, my phone stops syncing, it's as if I haven't connected it, and it continues, until I remove the ICS. Bridge isn't working aswell. I need it, so I can download QuickGPS and Weather info.
right i think i know what you mean. You want to access the internet on ur device when it is synced yes?
DOnt use internet connection sharing on the device, that is if you want to use your device as a modem (so to speak) using the phone network as an internet connection for your computer.
What you need to do is in WMDC (active sync in my case as i have xp) settings, ensure that in the connection settings "this computer connects to the internet" is selected. You should then be able to get internet thru your computer on your device whilst still syncing.
Let me know how it goes as i dont have WMDC (i dont like vista.... yet)
I meant I used Internet Connection Sharing on my PC nework adapter, sharing with the "Mobile Device Network".
WMDC is configured as "This computer is connected to: The Internet", but it still doesn't connect.
it doesn't work for me too; WMDC is configured as "This computer is connected to: The Internet"
Hi All,
I'm running Windows Mobile 6.5.3 and am having a pain of a time locating the concept of this.
What I am trying to do is the following:
1. Plug my phone into my computer and activesync.
2. Allow for My Mobiler to access and control my phone.
3. Prevent my Phone from accessing network resources via my computer.
4. When I surf, have my phone use its data connection, not Desktop-Passthrough.
I want the benefits of charging and remote control of the phone, with the benefits of text messaging/surfing/email as on-device data.
I've tried setting the allowLSP to be 0, 01 and 10. No success.
My litmus test is tcpview to see whether or not the end-point is being shown on my computer.
I've done alot of searching, xda, ppcgeeks, google and microsoft. But, no success yet.
Thanks.

Doesn't Active sync ask you (during partnership set up) if you want to have data and calls enabled while connected to it?

It does, but even with the phone data on, it still pushes through to my PC unfortunately. I do appreciate that you brought that up though.

Can you just turn off the data connection of your PC? (pull the ethernet cable or disable the wifi card if you have one)
bump... i would like an answer
I was serching Google for the same reason as the OP, saw there was no answer and a while later figured it out by myself so I thought I would share: in AS connetion settings
check allow wireless connections and select work instead of automatic for the Computer connection. When I use Opera through MyMobiler, it launches my 3G connection instead of using the crappy Internet connection with lots of limitations that I have at the office

Nope, this doesnt work for me. Any other ideas?
We have a discussion going on that I thought the great minds here may have some input on. Is there a way/app that will allow you to control your phone from a remote pc (i.e. RealVNC)? This can be any smartphone. Secondly, if you can use this app to connect/control your phone, can you then remote control a pc via bluetooth?
Scenario. I want to run a location based app and I am on vacation in florida. I log into my laptop and connect to my phone which is located next to my home pc. Then, using a bluetooth connection, remotely control my pc.
The constraint is that the location based app would launch a secure vpn connection, hence why we cannot connect directly to the pc via a remote session.
We would like to see if there are ways and test them. Nothing like trying to beat the system.
