Hi,
Never had problem syncing before but now I´ve got a new computer and just can´t get it to work!
My computer and my magician find each other and all but when I try to sync I get the message:
"Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. The communications port 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"
What´s wrong? How do I solve this, what I guess, simple little problem...
Thankful for help!
Do you get this error when you try and sync via a cable or Bluetooth?
I sometimes get the error when trying a bluetooth sync, i just re-set the Jam.
If that doesnt work check your com ports on the Jam and the com ports on the pc (activesync on the pc)
Still having problems...
It´s when I try to connect with bluetooth it happens.
I tried to reset several times but nothing.
Checked the ports and as far as I can see I have the same ports installed on the computer and on the magician.
Not sure how you do it though. Do I open activesync, then connection settings and choose COMport?
I think the problem is with the device. If I check the bluetooth settings and com ports there is no port activated and if I clixk "new incoming port", there is no port to choose. And I can´t even choose to create a new outgoing port.
What´s happening here? Need help... pleeeease!!!
ok, synching via bluetooth was a complete pain in the ass for me till i knew what was going on. yes you have to go to the options in activesync on your pc and select the correct com port which you should find from your bt stack. here are 2 really good links which solved 99.9% of my syncing via bt nightmare.
BT activesync guide:
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2417
COM ports 1-9 guide:
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=8&TopicId=422
also i suggested unpairing your pc and magician before you begin the activesync steps. if the correct comports dont appear in your bt stack(windows or widcom) then read teh 2nd link above ^. also(i'm guilty of this too) but search before you post because theres way too many topics about this.
this is from Jimmy Bish, from another site, however it helped me get it right:
OK, I'm assuming that you're running Windows XP SP2 with the default Win XP Bluetooth control panel.
Now, here we go. I'm expecting this to not work first time for most people, but these are the steps I took after my hard reset last night. If it doesn't work, you may have missed a step or may just need to delete the partnerships and try again... Good luck!!
1)On your PC go to the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth". In the "Options" tab, make sure all the ticks are on. You'll now see a little bluetooth icon on your system tray. Makes it easier to access in the future. Your PC should also be ready to be found as long as you ticked the fist box in the step above.
2)On your Jam, Go to Start, Settings, System (Tab), Bluetooth Settings. On the screen that comes up you ONLY want to hit start. Leave the incoming and outgoing checkboxes OFF!!!
3)You will now be taken to the partnership screen, where you just follow the instructions to add your PC. Follow through until you hit finish. Close everything down until you're back at the today screen.
4)Back to your PC, double click on the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Go to "Com Ports" (Tab) and click "Add". Choose incoming. A You'll see an incoming port added to the list (probably be the only item there). It should look like "COM X Incoming"
Remember what number is after COM. Close all windows, making sure you hit OK or Apply where you have to.
5)Open Active Sync on your PC. Hit File, Connection Settings. Enable the first tick, and select the COM port you had to remember in the previous step. Hit OK
6)Open Active Sync on your Jam. Choose Tools, Connect Via Bluetooth.
Good luck guys! No doubt you'll run into problems, but hopefully this will work for most people.
Any issues, discuss them below and we'll try to find a fool-proof way of doing it!

when i tried to do this the phone couldnt recognise the com port allocated by the computer, which was com32.
I followed some other instructions and found that i had about 30 inactive (hidden) com ports so i did this:
1) Open the Command prompt by going to Start, Run and typing "cmd" (without the "") and hit enter. If you're unfamiliar with this, it's just a black window with white writing that can command EVERTHING!. Very handy tool for administration.
2) Type "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" (again, without "". Bugger it, never type "" from here on, just type what's inside it!)
3) Type "cd \windows\system32\" if your windows installation is in the windows directory. If not, replace "\windows" with whatever that directory is.
4) Type "start devmgmt.msc". This will open your device manager.
5) Go to "View", then "Show hidden devices"
6) Go to "Ports (Com and LPT)" in the main device tree
7) You will now see a heap more com ports listed. Delete every com port that has a grey/transparent icon as these are ports for hardware that's not currently connected or no longer used. Don't worry, if you reconnect the hardware later it will be assigned a new number and you shouldn't notice a problem.
Cool Restart your computer and try the above guide again. If the port number is still above 9 then you'll have to start removing hardware that you may have installed that uses a com port. We'll cross that bridge as we come to it.

it needed a soft reset once i had got the comports the same and everything worked well after that.
Hi
I have an O2 XDA II Mini (Magician) and I am using an XMicro Dongle on my laptop (Win XP with SP2....I am using the in built Microsoft BT stack which comes with SP2) and ActiveSync3.8. Initially syncing with BT was a problem but now its not a problem at all.
First you have to make sure that the COM port nos. selected by ActiveSync are less than 10 bcoz there is some bug due to which ActiveSync will not support COM ports above COM9.
To reduce the COM port nos. on your computer try the following website
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315539
Once you can see the hidden devices and ports delete/uninstall all the ports which are not in use.
Its the same method mentioned above by Kassem.
To ActiveSync
1 To sync with BT first delete all your pairing with your computer and phone on both devices.
2 Go to BT Manager on your phone and click both check boxes for Inbound and Outbound COM ports and pair the devices.
3 Once they are paired go to BT manager (on the phone) again and click on the start button (for BT ActiveSync setup) and pair the devices again if you have to.
4 Once that is done make sure that on the computer in BT Settings the the Serial Port Profile (SPP) "Serial Port COM4" is checked.Click on the phone device>property>services.
5 After that on the computer's BT Manager itself ensure that the COM ports folder shows incoming and outgoing ports with the phone's name in front.
6 Open ActiveSync (on the computer) ensure that the COM port no. is the same as the Incoming COM port no. given in step 5 above and it being shown as available. Sometimes if it is unavailable, the computer needs to be rebooted and then it will be shown as available.
7 Click on ActiveSync thru BT on the phone and it should work.
8 Whenever you want to disconnect ActiveSync, press stop on the PocketPC's avtice sync program.
9. Always ensure that the dongle is plugged in BEFORE you boot up the computer othwerwise ActiveSync on the computer will show the COM port as unavailable.
All the best!
Thanks for all helpful replies!!!
Found out what was causing the problem now!
For me, I had to go to "My bluetooth places" on my computer. There I coosed "explore" and then "My unit". In there there is something called "My bluetooth serieport". I had to mark the box with "start autmatically". That´s why I didn´t get it to work...
Not so difficult once you got it... as always
Cheers. Emil
i hate Blue tooth., It is so flakey!!!. now i am having the same issue as you!!. i removed all connections and tried to set up from new, and still get the com port error!..
Emil:, how do u get to my bluethooth places?
i am running XP and cant seem to find this.
Well I kind of figured that... You see I don´t know what the english term for this is but if I translate directly from Swedish it would be something like "My bluetooth places/directories".
Anyway I have my icon on the desktop or in the programlist. The symbol is the bluetooth sign. I just rightclick on the symbol, and go to the subtitel that is called "My units". There I rightclick for example "My bluetooth serieport " and there click the boc that says "start automatically".
See I don´t know but I guess this could be some kind of program that goes with the bluetooth adapter (Trust BT120).
Maybe somone could help me translate the terms above to correct english....
Good luck!
Your bluetooth settings should be under Control Panel on your computer.
it´s imposible for me, because don´t find this service on pc, i do all the step, and nothing nothing nothing
Try this...
I've found that you'll have a better chance of getting "activesync over bluetooth" to work, to discover and pair from your PC, not from your phone.
Somewhere i've also read a comment who said you should pair both ways, but i don't think that's possible and needed, just from your pc.
much succes, Sander
thanks i will do
nothing
nothing nothing nothing i don´t discovered activesync service on pc
Activesync use a Bluetooth com port on my PC. try installing one of these after paring the devices.
after 3 hours nothing of nothing

3 hours is a long time to spend.
Ok - step by step, 10 minutes MAX!
1) On your computer, go into bluetooth settings. Check bluetooth is ON and set to discoverable. Add an incoming COM port, eg. COM5.
2) On ActiveSync on your computer, go into connection settings. Tick all the boxes. If the COM port is greyed out, untick it, close the settings box, go back in, now tick it and set the COM port to eg. COM5.
3) On the K Jam go into bluetooth settings, and remove the connection to your computer.
4) On your K Jam go into ActiveSync, click 'menu' > 'connect via bluetooth' then you should see a message saying 'cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?'
5) Click YES - you are taken to the Bluetooth settings screen.
6) Now click 'new partnership. As soon as you do this, the K Jam will search, and as long as your computer has bluetooth discoverable turned on, your computer will eventually be displayed. Check the computer name showing on the K Jam is the same as the name you gave the bluetooth profile on your computer.
7) On K Jam, click your computer name then NEXT.
8) Now enter a passcode - any four digit number (remember it) then next
9) When you do this, your computer will pop up with a message saying "a bluetooth device is requesting authorisation". Open this message and type in the code that you gave the K Jam. The next screen on the computer will tell you that it was successful - click FINISH.
10) Back on the K Jam, the screen will now be showing the services available. AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOWED STEP 1 and 2, ActiveSync will be an option, and you need to tick this and press FINISH on the K Jam.
11) Close bluetooth settings, now in ActiveSync screen click MENU > Connect via bluetooth. Your ActiveSync program on the computer should eventually pop up and connect.
NOW - if you failed at any point, say exactly where and what the problem is.

Ok, that means your computer's bluetooth isn't passing the connection through to ActiveSync. This is either because bluetooth serial port isn't set up properly, or ActiveSync isn't accepting serial port connections.
Describe *exactly* what you see in the computer's ActiveSync connection setting screen. And describe exactly what you see in in your bluetooth COM port settings screen.

In AS connection setting:

In BT i see:
activesync port 5
nothing only serial port
Can you give better descriptions?!
Is your COM5 port in bluetooth settings an incoming or outgoing port?
Are you using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack or the Widcomm?
Have you tried just selecting the serial port when setting up activesync on the k jam?
Reboot your computer, soft reset your k jam, check settings in ActiveSync are correct and do the whole thing over again....

sorry and thanks for all
Set the incoming port to 8 on your computer, this made it work for me.
incoming port is same of local services port ?¿?
regards
When my pc looks for the incoming port its always at least port 21, sometimes ,up to 33. I've been told this is why it won't work because its far too high.
nothing of nothing ...
Are you using the latest version of Active Sync? -> 4.1?
Can anyone please help me set up Active Sync via Bluetooth!
I've been trying for days, I've tried both my Atom and the Wizard but I am getting nowhere.
It is different to Windows SE 2003 version (Jam).
Many Thanks!!
I'm assuming you already have bluetooth set up on your pc on one of the Comm ports so...
First, set up a partnership between your unit and the pc, i.e. set bluetooth on both to be discoverable by other devices and on your pda switch on bluetooth in comm manager, select "settings" then "bluetooth settings" select the "Devices" tab then select "new partnership" the two should find each other and you'll enter a code on the pda for the handshake which you then need to enter in turn on the pc.
Open activesync on the pc, select file then connections settings check the "allow connections to one of the following" box, select the bluetooth comm port from the pulldown. On your device then open activesync and select "menu" and "connect via bluetooth", from there it should connect.
Sounds easy but I find it works about as well as the Activesync 4.1 on USB, so erratically....
Should also mention that your initial connection cannot be via BT. You have to do it via USB first.
My home computer is an older version of media center. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the problem I'm having, but every time I hook up my phone through usb, my computer resets itself. No errors, no warnings, it just powers down and restarts. The phone works fine on every other computer I've tried (all were xp) and usb on my computer works fine with everything else I've tried it on (keyboard, mouse, hard drive, bt dongle). I've been trying to get it syncing over bt with no luck, I guess because I can't do it through usb first. Any ideas of what I could do?
Make sure when you make the initial partnership youve searched for the phone from the PC, then once you enter the passkey on the phone you can check the Activesync Service box. You cant do this if you find the PC from phone, it doesnt come up. once i did this, it was easy then. make a bluetooth com port on the pc and in activesync allow connections on that port.
Port doesn't appear
I can set up a pairing between my PC and the Wizard, but I never see the com port in the list in Activesync.
Doh! :x

you should the same comm port which shows in the bt configuration as "bt serial port" it's always shown with me as com4 (maybe it's deferent with you), but you have to choose the same port, otherwise it will not connect.
if the comm port does not show in the activesync list, then you should add a new incoming port through the bt configuration, and it will show the port # in the activesync list.
try that, it should work for you.
Hi all,
I have a toshiba portege r200 and I'm simply not able to set up ActiveSync to work through bluetooth. The darn computer only sees my phone as a modem.
I have no clue how to do this.
I really cant' see why this has to be so hard. Both units are running stupid microsoft software. Whey the can't microsoft think that people migh want to connect their ppc's to their laptops via bt and just make it work easily?
Please, someone help.
thanks

I agree 100% that this should be easier. But I think ActiveSync is actually a service that the laptop offers, not the phone. So on the phone, go to your BT manager, select your laptop, and then select services. ActiveSync should be one of the choices. After that, you should be able to connect to ActiveSync via BT, but I think you need to initiate the connection from your phone.
Activesync via Bluetooth
1. Install Active sync
2. Connect phone to USB cable and computer and let active Sync run once.
3. Disconnect USB cable.
4. On your Computers Bluetooth software (add a com port) before you detect the phone (very important).
5. On Active Sync on Computer click "connection Settings" and make sure it is using your com port from step 4.
6. Turn on discovery on your computer.
7. On your Phone go to Bluetooth / devices / New and select your computer enter pin on phone and PC.
8. Go to Active Sync on your phone and click "Connect via Bluetooth."
Hope this helps.
thank you all for your input.
i tried everything you guys suggested and it's still not working. my comp only offers a serial connection. is that ok? it has this toshiba bluetooth software on it not the original windows kind.
when i choose connect via bluetooth on my ppc's activesync it sais there's no computer that supports bt.
any ideas?
thanks again
I have Toshiba Bluetooth control software as well. I am certain it's the incorrect or incomplete BT COM port setting on your PC. A few findings (on my notebook) to share, hope this helps.
1. I have a "Bluetooth Local COM" applet on Control Panel
2. By opening "Bluetooth Local COM" applet I have a list of PORTS
3. The CORRECT port I HAVE TO use IS
"COM7 Toshiba BT Port (COM7) LocalCOM-Server[SerialPort(TOSHIBA LOcalCOM)]
NOT
"COM6 Toshiba BT Port (COM6) LocalCOM-Client"
4. If you don't find the Server COM port, do "create a Bluetooth virtual COM port for a Server"
5. Of course enable by checking the "Connection Settings" "allows connections to one of the following COM#" (7 in my case)
After this, try the steps I suggested. Initiate BT Activesyn from your PDA phone.
Good luck.
Hi,
Thanks for all your effort.
I did what you said and it's still not working.
When I'm trying to connect from my phone via bluetooth it satill sais it cannot find existing blueooth partnership with a pc that supports activesync.
what am i doing wrong?
Thanks

Phat!! This works for me with my Acer laptop and Bluetooth connection, thanks man!
Sweet, took a few tries, but works like a charm.
Thanks
Bump
I just wanted to bump this to say thanks for posting the bit about using the LocalCOM-Server[SerialPort(TOSHIBA LOcalCOM)] port instead of the client port. Trying to get AS working using the Toshiba stack was driving me around the bend!
My pleasure
I've learned a lot from this wonderful board from a lot of wonderful people. Glad to be part of it!
You're the MAN
Thanks. This also worked for my Cingualr 8125. Many hours wasted. Glad I found this post. Thanks for your help.
this worked on my cingular 8125 as well, zsizsi i think you may have to delete all partnerships that were previously created with handheld on your pc and handheld. if that dosent work then in bluetooth settings go to options and under general tab check box "PAN networking service" that is just something i did while creating partnership not sure if it helps
The only thing that worked for me after 4 days of messing with it was to do a cold boot.
The first thing I did after the boot was to follow the instructions. Voila! ActiveSync magically appeared.
Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem with my qtek9100 and my IBM T43 Laptop.
I tried many times but....still not working!
As zsizsi if I try to make a relationship via PDA, it asks me the pairing key, and I'm blocked.
If I go through PC, I can do pairing, in the services I flag activesync, I configure the same com port that I have on AS (com 8) and when I0'm in the bluetooth wizard on the PDA, related to the PC I can only see 3 services:
hands free
remote connection
serial port
no activesync service to flag.
If I try then with the PDA Menu>BT connection it aswer that there is no relationship with PC supporting AS!!!!What the hell!
The only thing I see is that in my BT config in the local server the BT wizard creates a serial port named My activesync......
I have tried also your suggestion but.....

thank you soo much for that info...enabling the "PAN networking service" finally allowed me to connect with my toshiba qosmio laptop
If the devices are paired... You have to select a service for the pda BT connection
Only when you manage to select the servive Activesync (a comport has to be valid assingd) then a connectin can be astablished.
In active sync you must assign a com port.
See the manual in activesync BT
Yes, I can guess it.
The rpoblem is that the devices are paired, the activesync service is flagged in the PC (while I do the automatic pairing devices withn a wizard).
But I can't still see the service in my PDA.
I can only find:
Hands free
Serial port
remote connection
No activesync service on the PDA relation wizard...
Any other suggestion?
Another issue.
When I look in my BT services, I can't find an activesync service, but only an icon (com plug) called My activesync.
Look at the properties of this icon I can only flag automatic/manual and Secure/unsecure connection, and there is the window manu to select the com port (that is the same selected in Activesync settings).
Is that correct, or I should find a specific activesync icon (like PIM syncronizing ....)
Blinks....

Hi,
I have already red more forum on this question.
I have e problem trying to connect to ActiveSync by bluetooth .
When I pair my JasJar to PC not appear the service "ActiveSync", but "Serial Port".
Therefore ActiveSync, on JJ, can't connect to my PC.
I have already configure ActiveSync on PC to connect on right Com port.
Please help me, i have lost some night to try it.
had same problem,you have to get rid of all phantom bt ports there is some stuff on windows support
Thanks for reply,
How can I remove phantom bt port?

On my computer and Universal, I find it easy to setup BT Active Sync if I activate the setup on the Universal first using active sync app. There is an option within the active sync app to sync via BT. The computer will then recognize the device and will ask you if you want to pair it. On the other hand, if I try to pair them beginning with my computer to search for the Universal, after pairing and ticking all necessary boxes, it still won't sync.
After pairing and ticking all necessary boxes. Make sure you reset BOTH your computer and the Universal.
The problem is that when I pair my Universal to PC, not appear the service "ActiveSync", but "Serial Port".
I've already tried to delete everything and reinstall bluetooth pen, with his drivers and with windows drivers, and ActiveSync too.
I've also deleted all pairs and all port on Universal.
But I've not obtained any result.
I don't know what to make.
Can someone help me?
Please.
Nobody has had my same problem?
Any idea, please?
I had the same problem until I upgraded from Toshiba BT stack to Wildcomm BT Drivers stack (4.0.1.700).
Things I have learned:
- If UNI is connected via USB then AS service will not show in device pairing on PPC.
- You need to create an incoming COM port on PC and set AS to allow connections to this port.

I haven't change the bletooth stack.
Until some week it makes worked regularly, but an evening, I was configuring my Laptop to use the JJ like BT modem, when the AciveSync service has begun not to recognize more like such, but like “Serial Port”.
I've already tried to delete everything and reinstall bluetooth pen, with his drivers and with windows drivers, and ActiveSync too.
I've also deleted all pairs and all port on Universal.
But I've not obtained any result.
Yesterday, I have tried the synchronization with an other PC with a fresh installation of windows, but the result has been the same one.
Therefore the problem is on JJ, even in the registry.
I don't know what to make.
Please, can someone help me?
Up
Please help me...
Don't know if this will help and I claim no credit because this solution was written in some other threads. For the universal with a Toshiba bluetooth on your PC:
first, pair your Universal with your PC, you get "serial"
On your PC, create the following "bluetooth local com" (Control panel)
- COM7 Toshiba BT Port (COM7) LocalCOM-Server[SerialPort(TOSHIBA LOcalCOM)]
- COM6 Toshiba BT Port (COM6) LocalCOM-Client
In your activesync, allow connection to COM7
Now comes the fun part. On your universal, go to your bluetooth settings, devices, edit your device and press "Refresh", possibly more than once. Serial Port will change to ActiveSync.
It worked for me.
Eric
Also got to the control panel on PC and delete the bluetooth modem that was created. When u add a new incoming port on PC make sure it's not COM8 because that is used by JJ for USB modem connections.
same on treo 750v
I have the exact same problem on my Palm treo 750v. Searched the whole internet for a solution and found some other people with the same problem but no resolution. The only recommendation that seems to work is to do a hard-reset.
The problem started on my device after I played around with the Soft GPS port. It seems that it screwed up some COM port references for good...
I had the same problem on my notebook with Toshiba's BT drivers. I uninstalled them and connected an external USB BT which fired up the MS default BT stack.
After I completed the pairing using Bluetooth Devices (in control panel) and clicking Add in the devices tab, I used the COM Ports tab and added an incoming port and copied the number of this com port in the AS connection settings.
Now, I initiated the AS over BT from the Jasjar and it said something like "it cannot find the service or whatever and would you like to create one". I clicked yes, when it took me to the list of paired devices. From here I did what leblan has also noted "your device and press "Refresh", possibly more than once. Serial Port will change to ActiveSync." I too found that the serial port changed to ActiveSync. The key, IMHO is to hit that "Refresh" button; i.e. once your device and PC are paired and connected, going to the BT devices and editing (press & hold)the device name (the notebook or PC in this case) you will get the services which will initially say serial port, but when you click refresh, it will change to AS.
jj activesync via microsoft bluetooth stack
both from PC and JJ :
delete eventually existing pair between them;
from PC:
if there isn't create a local service COM port. I created COM8 not protected, automatic start;
from PC activesync:
remove flag both for USB and other connections;
from JJ activesync:
try to connect, it ask for pairing, reply yes;
In "mode" flag on turn on bluetooth & make this device visible;
search for new devices, when PC has discovered complete the pairing;
after paired, you can see a serial port and other PC's services;
stay there;
from PC activesync:
now turn flag on other connections setting COM8;
from JJ:
refresh and You can see that serial port begin activesync;
tip OK for close all bluetooth setting windows, You are redirected in activesync.
enjoy start to sync
15hours of crying and knocking the device. i've successfully fixed it...
i did this (credits to google)..
Delete all paired bluetooth devices from PC and from MOBILE.
CAUTION - USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK <--- I used a registry editor for the mobile phone (google for regeditSTG2) and opened the Branch "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\ActiveSync" There might be a Key with a hex-String like this "0016cxxxxxx" --> delete it. Change the View to display the values in this Registry Branch, then delete the "LastConnected" Value and set the "Initialized" value to "0"
Turn bluetooth OFF>ON
Pair from PC
Confirm on DEVICE (dont need to select anything just enter code and press OK)
Go START->Active Sync->Connect via Bluetooth
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Voilla worked for me..
hope this helps someone else
