Hi All,
Before running the upgraded ROM, to enable ActiveSync via Bluetooth, I had to download and install a Bluetooth file from a site I can't remember now. After the upgrade I can't use ActiveSync via Bluetooth and am not sure whether I need to reinstall the same Bluetooth stuff as before as I thought the ROM had Bluetooth fixes in it for ActiveSync etc.
Has anybody else been able to connect via Bluetooth after the upgrade with no other files being installed ?
Thanks,
Rob.
yes i use activesync via bluetooth at work and home using the new rom and installing no other software.
It was a pain getting it to work, and what i did in the end was delete all parterships in activesync and start again from stratch, that worked for me.
This is what i did:
I couldnt get my XDA2 to access the net via BT active synch until i went into start / settings / system / bluetooth settings / bluetooth active synch setup.
It then asks you to bond the XDA2 with your pc ( if its already bonded, delete it ) once done, you then click yes to let the XDA2 use the pc's serial port, do the same on the pc, and connect via BT as normal.
Works great !

Just upgraded my XDA II to O2 ROM 1.72 and I'm trying to recreate the bond for bluetooth ActiveSync. When I upgraded to 1.60 this was easy, so I've tried to do the same so I can surf the web at home for free.
I made a mistake though: I created a new bonded device in bluetooth before I clicked the 'Connect via bluetooth' menu item in ActiveSync. Now when I click that, nothin happens. No error, no dialog box, nothing. When I upgraded before I clicked the ActiveSync option before making the bond and that way it worked.
I've tried deleting the bond with the server from the XDA II and then going back into ActiveSync to the 'Connect via bluetooth' option, but the same thing happens. The XDA II isn't even opening the COM port.
Can anyone help?
*bump*
Update: I did a hard reset and tried setting up Bluetooth ActiveSync again... No luck. It just doesn't work. I can bond to the PC over BT but nothing else.
Can anyone help? Please?

Hi,
I used BluetoothGPS to make my PDA connected with my PC.
I can sync, access LAN,... with BluetoothGPS on 1.72
But BluetoothGPS can't run on W2k5.
I wonder if there is a solution for Bluetooth solution for W2k5
Hi all,
I've just recently upgraded to the above ROM- everything else seems to be fine but I've just realised that the 'Settings' for BT are slightly different to my original rom version.
I can pair the JAM fine with the PC but it won't let me connect. As I look at the BT settings, I can see the following tabs: Mode, Devices and COM Ports; it's the COM ports that has changed. It's got New Outgoing Port and New Incoming Port. When i select either of these I can't assign any port number; the drop down list is blank.
P.S. I was able to connect fine via BT using my original ROM v1.00 or something.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I remember reading that link a while ago but I got the BT working without Pocket Tools software...
Anyway, I've tried both versions from the website but after installing either of them, the connect via bluetooth in Tools of ActiveSync is not there; just the IR. As soon as I uninstall the software it's back there.
I thought I had mastered the myth of Jam and Bluetooth- looks like back to square one!
Sorry - I'm just impatient- reinstalled and re-paired a few times and all is fine now.
Thanks for your help.
reinstalled what may i ask? im having this exact problem at the mo
Instructions from the top of my head (excuse any errors)
1) I removed the Pocket Bluetooth tools from remove programs
2) Perform soft reset and remove any existing paired devices
3) Reinstall the Bluetooth Tools (i used the an earlier version)
4) Select ActiveSync check box
5) The device should be paired
6) Go to to ActiveSync on PPC; go to tools and you should see Connect BT with ***
This should work.
i cnt seem to be able to connect via activesync for some strange reason. It has been working fine but since yesterday when i connect my mda it just keeps saying "connecting".
Anyone got any ideas on how to sort this......i want it to work so i can flash my mda with wm6 or a different rom.
thanks in advance...
Try to switch the connection (bluetooth / IR / USB)
i would but i want to flash my mda and it cannot be done unless synced via usb
Since you are going to flash it, backup your phone and do a hardreset and try again?
I have a same problem. I connect my Charmer to my notebook and it work fine. When I connect my desktop the Charmer can't connect.
I found the problem. The Charmer try to request an IP address for the DHCP server but the firewall block the request.

First of all i really want to thank all the Helmi_c and all the developers; My BA is most updated running wm6.
Well much better than wm5 but I have some issues:
1. cant sync it with my PC in anyways (BT, usb etc), USB drivers are not working correctly.
2. sometimes when i pick or dial a call, i cant hear nething.
and last but not relevant to this, guys how do i stop my BA slider from falling down when I use keyboard.
1. Try delete the actual partnership in AS, sync again; if not reinstall AS on PC
2. No problem here with the sound.
same problem here
I upgraded my XDA2s, customized it,backedup, then upgraded my brothers XDA2s and used my customized backup on his XDA2s.
Now my XDA connects fine, but his doesn't !!!
Both our XDa2s's are identical in everyway.
tried a hard reset and restore from another backup and still no luck!
we were trying to save time re-installing the same softwares.
tried deleting partnerships, no luck. tried spb backup and clone, no luck.
any ideas!
Do you get any error messages on AS? Can you browse the internet from device?
usb drivers
can anybody post usb drivers i think this is the problem cause my device isnt installed properly it says problem with inf file.
whoever is able to connect his device to xp desktop via active sync usb connection, please copy the drivers folder contents from program files in active sync folder.
thanks, hope this works
Is your windows firewall enabled? Since WM6 activesync makes use of a LAN connection to sync with the PC, you must allow activesync trough the windows XP firewall, or disable the windows XP firewall completely...
no sound problems with me...
did you try to install WM6_SoundFix_.cab ?
