Has anyone managed to activesync the Jam via bt, with xp service pack2 (that needs no drivers for bt)? I have tried a lot, and followed some guides on the internet, but nothing done yet I have a german mda compact, with englidh imate tom 1.03.
Maybe this helps :wink: MOD EDIT: Personalised URL link removed
that's what i have done, but when i press activesync via bluetooth, it sais that cannot connect to this port, because is already in use or not valid
Tonight i have 2 setup all the stuff again because i reinstalled my compu. I'll check if everything in the tutorial is ok... :wink: (I'm almost sure there some wrong things in it :? )
ok thanks
I also have no success with ActiveSync / Bluetooth / WinXP-SP2
Bluetooth works although. Using the WinXP SP2 bluetooth icon (bottom right next to the clock), I can 'Send A File' to the MDA. The file nicely ends up in 'My Documents' in the MDA.
So, Bluetooth on the WinXP-SP2 and MDA machines both work.
But, ActiveSync, no way. Activesync on the pc just does not want to detect the MDA. I already changed the BT com ports to 4 and 5 because I read somewhere ActiveSync only accepts ports from 1 up to 9.
Is there somebody who actually got WinXP-SP2 and the MDA working with Activesync?
i found this, but i have not tried it yet. i will try at noon.

what a french forum? great! lol
Works fine for me.
Set up a COM port on your computer, then selecdt that port in ActiveSync. Pair the two devices to create a Bluetooth link. Then run ActiveSync->Tools->Connect via Bluetooth... on your Magician.
Skip
Works fine for me 2. So the issue is not SP2. It has more to do with your Bluetooth or ActiveSync configuration I think. Can you pair the devices to start with?
Same here, works perfect on Windows XP SP2 using the previous 3.7.1 and the new 3.8 ActiveSync on bluetooth.
I had gone through much pain with the Widcomm (not sure about spelling anymore) driver installed but without any success in getting my Dopod818 activesync to work.
So I uninstalled it, and let WinXP SP2 detect the USB BT device again and download by itself the SP2 driver. Then followed the steps in Benjamin's MDA Howto article above (with the only exceptions being that you don't need to set the incoming and outgoing serials as com4 and com5 on your PC), now my Dopod818 is activesyncing with my PC flawlessly.
I tried everything both with Widcomm and Microsoft bluetooth
I think the problem is related with my MDA Compact. When I go to ActiveSync on MDA and choose connnect via bluetooth - it does not give any connection message. With IRDA or USB it says "Connecting to host". Probably something wrong with MDA setup. I have T-Mobile English WWE 1.01.00, ROM version - I'l try to upgrade to newer ROM and then check

I had a hard time configuring ActiveSync to work through Bluetooth but it finally worked (with XP SP2 and not with Widcomm). I think the trick when using XP SP2 bluetooth stack is in the bluetooth pairing process (which is skipped in the Benjamin's guide).
The problem I think is that when the two devices are paired (the MDA and the PC) the MDA does not recognize the SPP (serial port profile) service of the PC and it does not assign the “Bluetooth Outbound com port” to the SPP service of the PC.
The steps that worked for me are the following:
1) Delete the device pairing from both the PC and the MDA (if you have
done the pairing before).
2) At the MDA go to Settings -> System -> Bluetooth settings and make sure the Outbound COM port checkbox is checked.
3) At the PC: open Bluetooth settings, go to COM ports, and add an incoming port (press the Add button and select incoming - nothing more).
(I call this port COM7 but it could be any other com port that your system assigns to the added port)
4) At the PC: add a new Bluetooth device (start the wizard) and follow the normal steps to pair the PC with the MDA. The MDA will notify you of the new paired device - press OK - do nothing special.
4) At the PC's ActiveSyc connection settings select the proper com port (COM7: the incoming com port created at step 3 above).
5) Run on the MDA the ActiveSyct and select the Connect via Bluetooth...
hope it works
My understanding (although I just got my first Pocket PCs) of the connection process is the following:
The ActiveSync on the MDA opens the "bluetooth outbound com port" (COM5) when you select the "Connect via Bluetooth".
This port must be assigned to a SPP (serial port profile) service of another bluetooth device (in our case the SPP service offered by the PC with the XP SP2 bluetooth stack. Note that the SPP service on the PC is connected to a com port (COM7 in my case)). If the Outbound com port (COM5) on the MDA is not assigned to a remote device then you get that error saying ActiveSyct can not open the port (when you try to Connect via Bluetooth)
Assuming that the MDA's COM5 is assigned to the PC's SPP service, when opening MDA's COM5 ActiveSync gets connected to the com port (COM7) on the PC.
On the other side, the ActiveSync on the PC is set to use COM7 as a connection port and it detectes the connection which is now opened.
The MDA's "bluetooth incoming com port" (COM4) as well as the bluetooth "Outgoing" com port created on the PC seams to play no role in the hole process.
atsois.
just wanna say i got it working with ms drivers and a very cheap bt dongle!
similar to atsois and leskip methods...
i setup the incoming com port in bluetooth settings and assigned activesync to that port BEFORE any pairing took place
i tried pairing from the PC, but no luck.. but when I paired from the phone, it worked!
excellent, thanks for all the help!
Before Activesync 3.8, mine would only work one time per reboot of the desktop PC. After installing Activesync 3.8, Bluetooth Activesync works everytime!

Thank you. I couldn´t make it work, but then I tried to pair the devices from the MDA - and it worked fine!

I'm having problem to sync my devices (Treo 650 & iMate JasJar) to the same PC. Each time I try to sync one of these devices, the given device connects to the first BT serial port service defined in BT manager on the PC (Widcom BT stack) whatever the service it is. To be more specific, if I create virtual BT COM5 as a HotSync service and the COM9 as a ActiveSync, both devices try to connect to HotSync (the first BT COM port available). I have also an iPAQ hx4700 and it works ok. I haven't had any problem to sync with ActiveSync 3.8 as well. Anyone with the same problem?
Also I'm having problem to sync some of reoccuring Outlook appointments to the JasJar devices. The are simply ignored by ActiveSync 4. Anyone?
Hey guys,
Don't know if this has been posted here or not, but here is a tip for anyone using Vista and WMDC with the Toshiba or Widcomm Bluetooth stack, that have been unable to sync via bluetooth.
From HowardForums:
"If you are running the new Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista, and using the inbuilt Microsoft Bluetooth Stack, then syncing via bluetooth probably works fine for you. However if you are using the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (for example, to get A2DP profile support) then you need to do some work to get bluetooth synchronising working.
Firstly, on your host machine, open Regedit and navigate to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
and change the value from "Bluetooth" to your incoming bluetooth COM port. Normally this is COM7 if you are using v5 of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (the Vista compatible version). Change the value to "COM7" (without the quotes). You will need to restart your machine.
Now pair your Windows Mobile device with your host machine. You should see the ActiveSync service listed. If you've previously paired your device, then you would have seen "Serial Port" listed as a service (which isn't enough to get ActiveSync working). Instead go into the properties of the bluetooth device and select "refresh" to get an updated list of services that your host PC is advertising. ActiveSync should now be an option. Select it. Now, when using ActiveSync on your WM device, Connect via Bluetooth should work just fine. "
Hopefully this helps a couple people out; it helped me out for sure.
Toshiba Bluetooth stack + HTC Tytn WM6.1
Hello all,
in order to get your HTC working with Toshiba BT Stack do the following:
download the latest Toshiba BT drivers from www.toshiba-europe.com and also the latest Windows Mobile Device center.
Install Toshiba BT Stack
Reboot
Install Update to WMDC
Disable BT on both PDA and Laptop
Connect you HTC via USB (WMDC should popup now, if not goto control panel and run it)
configure you HTC in WMDC
disconnect USB cradle
check with Serial port is available (usually COM7) - goto control panel an run
"Bluetooth local port"
turn on BT on both ends
On the WMDC select you HTC and goto Settings->Connection Settings
Enable connection on BT serial port (usually COM7)
Now on your HTC goto BT settings and "add a new device"
Find your laptop connect with it (passkey and so on...), next goto advanced and enable activesync service
and that's it!
you don't need regedit and other tweakings i've seen on the net about.Trust me! If it's not working for you try to unistall any BT stack you have, reboot, a start a fresh install.
I have a new htc tytn that I'm trying to hotsync with my notebook vaio, with a windows xp, but I don't get it. The computer dont recognize the device (it shows "not connected", despite the connection by a USB cable. I did all the recomendations of the guide book, but it did'nt work. Anyone have any idea?
find the usb to pc icon
find the usb to pc icon
it is either in settings/connections or in settings/system in most of the roms I have seen.
open it up and see if the box is check for advanced network functionality. If so, uncheck it. That has had to be changed for all Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 devices I have had, then activesync started working.
try active synch 4.5
You can also download ActiveSynch 4.5 if you have WM6/6.1.
hotsync is for palm based devices....
hi everyone, I'm using ROM WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20749 (Build 20749.1.4.0 PV DVH) - V13
Version 6.01.13 Black(Touch) with the latest Broadcomm bluetooth stack 1.0.0.3900
my bluetooth adapter is using IVT Corporation BlueSoleil stack
- for active sync through BT serial, I've enabled 2 ports (COM 6 & 7) in the BlueSoleil, so as in the BA Broadcomm stack, it discovered my pc's adapter & found the serial port service, I ticked it & saved, & enabled 1 outgoing port (COM 8) in the Broadcomm.... but when I "connect via bluetooth" in active sync, it asks me to seek for & build partnership, then it goes back to the Broadcomm stack page... after confirming everything, I still can't sync., even when I discover services in my BA, there's no serial port service detected either........
- for file transfer, my BA manage to discover my pc's adapter (again), but always fail to send.... & again... only Personal Area Network, Dial-Up Networking & Object Push services are detected in my BA (no File Transfer service) in the BlueSoleil stack
sorry for my poor xpression in english...
I must've missed something... or perhaps someone can please guide me thoroughly in detail, thanks in advance
in activesync press File=>Connection Settings then check "Allow connections to one of the following:" and selest you com port
thanks for helping
I think I've found the reason, I can't turn on bluetooth IN bluetooth manager... it says insufficient driver memory...
