Can't get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth - please help.

I recently got a Bluetooth dongle for my PC but can't get my XDA-II to use any of the services !
When I select ActiveSync and the Sync with Bluetooth I get
'Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. The communications prt is not available. Another program may be using the port, or it may not be valid.
Quit any programs that may be using the port and reconnect. If the problem persists, restart your device using the instructions provided by the manufacturer.'
When I choose Bluetooth settings and select 'Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup'->Start on the XDA II I get 'Please bond with other Bluetooth device which supports serial port or ActiveSync profile as your ActiveSync partner !
The PC has the ActiveSync service enabled and I am now stuck. Please help.

Try this utility.

Install it, do a soft reset. Delete previous BT connection and find again.
you should get an option to sync on your XDA II with the specific computer.

try following this tutorial at geekzone
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2417

try to turn off infrared communication on ppc.
try to delete all bounded devices both pc and xda.
try to search for a bt device again.

You have to follow the above mentioned procedure. After that you start to search the device with ActiveSync.
ActiveSync will start to check all the serial ports, one port before it comes to the port that is used by your BT stack, you should start ActiveSync via BT on your XDAII.
This is the only way (for me) to get that crap working. After the XDAII and the computer have found each other, future syncs via BT are no (or at least not a big) problem. If the XDAII and the computer sometimes dot not find each other, try to sync 2-3 times, it will hopefully work then. Sometimes there seems a kind of timeout error.
I don't use BT anymore 'cause it is really a hard job to get it running. Even when I managed to establish the connection, after some days the connection gets lost again and can only be repaired by re-installing the BT stack or ActiveSync - I am really tired of beta testing all the bluetooth stacks and stopped to use it until the industry established a working standard...

I try a lot of time after install Tobias application for BT, but I can not see the new dialog after pair my XDA II with PC. Someone help me!

I had the exact same experience. I have not sorted out my the BT problems yet but suffered also from the interrupted connection using the cradle until I disabled Norton anti-virus and firewall.

HELP!
No connection possible between my PC and MDA-II.
Bluetooth Devices program in Windows XP SP2 comes up with "incoming port: 17", while ActivSync seraches only ports 1 to 9.
How can I make them listen to the same port?

bluetooth modem

hello guys... i'm just confusing
i'm try to connect my xda via bt as a modem ( i use sony erricson phone ) and make the connection as the dial up its working, but not work at xda II ,
i already make the pairing as the dial up cause i always going somewhere with my laptop and xda and connect to the internet via gprs, also i tried at the wi modem of xda through bt connection ...not work....anybody have suggestions..... thanks a lot

The XDA is currently not supporting the modem profile. You can use other device as modem but the XDA it self cannot be used as such via bluetooth.

Hi,
In the following document you can find the answer. (last question)
This is for the qtek 2020 or XDAII with Win XP
Cheers

Somehow I managed to make a connection (pair the evices) but when it comes to establishing what kind of services can happen between the two devices, nothing happens. In the end, I have a connection, the devices show as paired but I can't move files or connect one to the other in any possible way. Any ideas anyone?

Re: device
@MCEITLIN and @benmuliono
If your devices are paired then you can active syn over BT to sync your device and the pass-through to connect to the internet.
Indeed you can't browse the network because the network profile is not supported by the Bluetooth stack used in the XDA.
To be able to browse the network you've to use the WidCom Bluetooth stack and a BT dongle on you PC/Notebook/Laptop whatever which supports the network profile or PAN.
The WidCom bluetooth stack can be found on this forum

activesync over bluetooth

Does somebody have a guide to connect activesync via bluetooth? I think I have everything setup correctly but I cant connect. I have the MS BT stack on my XDA II. I have my PC setup with COM4 and COM5 ports as BT virtual serial ports. Do I connect activesync from the XDA or the PC?
All suggestions welcome
Thanks
Allan

I had problems getting active sync to work via blue tooth until I installed the Widcomm BlueTooth Driver on my PC (NOT my XDA2).
The file I used was WIDCOMM BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE 1.4.2 Build 10.
After that I installed BlueTooth Tools on my XDA2 http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html and then initiated pairing.
These two together worked a treat and gave me full functionality from my XDA2 over bluetooth.
Hope it helps

Thanks codeus!
I couldn't install the widcomm drivers on my laptop as it has built-in bluetooth. I installed the bluetooth utils on my XDA and followed the short guide. I am now replying via my Xda, and am very happy. Thanks again.

For future referance, i found this very usefull as a referance.

Wlan via bluetooth

Is it possible to make a wlan via a bluetooth dongle?
The type of my dongle is ES-388.
Does anybody has experience with this type= I only can use bluesolei and I just want to use the standar MS drivers but MS doesn´t see the dongle???

Generally Yes - although not technically WLAN.
And more specifically i havent tried it on my Wizard, but did have it working on my Ipaq.
What you need:
PC with network/internet conex
BT dongle
Decent BT stack for PC - i found a lovelly guid with a "version" of a Widcom (i think) stack and a lovelly guide, trouble is the files were removed off the site shortly after i read it for "breach of copyright".
Bridge BT network (PAN) and network (LAN) to make it work.
Fraid i cant share the files as i dont have any install files. but sure Google can help

The Bluetooth Stack on the HTC Wizard does not support Personal Area Network profile (PAN), so unless you manage to hack a different stack into the wizard, no, bluetooth networking will not work.
i think.

no PAN :-o wtf is the BT stack there for? i cant see many things it CAN do really :'(

i was about to continue to bash the qtek for not having PAN, when a thought came to my mind...
IF YOU HAVE CONNECTED THE QTEK WITH CABLE AND SYNCED WITH ACTIVESYNC THE QTEK HAS NETWORK.
IF YOU CONNECT THE QTEK TO ACTIVESYNC WITH BLUETOOTH, IT HAS NETWORK, TOO!!!
I AM A D U M B A S S!!!!!

I know it's true. But I can't install my bluetooth dongle (ES-388) with the original xp drivers. So I only can use Bluesoleil and this does not work with activesync.

Bluesoleil does work with activesync - at least the version I have does with the BT dongle I have.
