Activesync over bluetooth

Please excuse my ignorance on all this but i'm a new user. I am trying to get activesync working over bluetooth. My bluetooth on pc does not have activesync profile or service. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Or can someone just provide a link where I can find out how this works? Thanks

Ok I found the instructions on myxda2 web site.
But looks like I'll have to esablish a cable usb connection before i can configure the activesync for bluetooth.

If the Bluetooth on your PC does not have the ActiveSync profile, then use the Serial Port profile and set up ActiveSync to allow connection from the serial port created by the Bluetooth driver. Then pair your XDA II's Bluetooth with your PC's Bluetooth. After that, launch ActiveSync on your XDA II and select "Tools->Connect via Bluetooth..." on the menu. Your XDA II should then sync with your desktop PC.

go to this site download the BTtools, it will fix bt problem

"how to" view internet pages using bluetooth

Thanks to the last chap who told me to use activesync to view web pages using bluetooth.. the problem is "How" to get it to do that.. I have a little bluetooth dongle on the pc but they don't seem to talk to each other even though they are bonded.. and precisely how do i view an internet page using bluetooth
Do you tyhink it may be a bluetooth compatiblilty issue.. I've heard that maybe a different dongle and driver may do the trick?
The Idiot's guide would be much appreciated!!!

Hi,
I downloaded the Bluetooth application ("fix") from here:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
Then Bluetooth works perfectly with my 3com PCMCIA card in the laptop.
I now only do ActiveSync via Bluetooth with one exception - when I want to send music via Windows Media to the Imate I have to use the cradle or cable because the bluetooth appears to the laptop as a serial link and the Windows Media does not support serial devices.
I can also use internet on the Imate via ActiveSync and bluetooth - although generally I stick to the laptop for that !

Thanks but unfortunately the fix doesn't bring up a web page anymore.. what is it that your suggested fix is fixing? AArrghhh! Can someone please come to the house and sort it out!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again,
This bluetooth fix allows a simple connection from PC to Imate via ActiveSync and Bluetooth. It does not address internet issues.
Have you tried connecting the Imate/XDA2 to a PC with cable or cradle and then used Internet ?
It could be that your problem is not with Bluetooth - have you tried the Connection settings ? or, have you check the ActiveSync settings on the Imate.
Rgds, Dave

I probably understood your problem. You can't connect your Xda via ActiveSync via bluetooth.
First..assure the 2 Bluetooth devices are on discoverable mode.
Then go into your Pocket Pc START-Settings-System-Blueooth settings-tap to Bluetooth ActyveSync setup[start]
Select Discoverable mode and Tap in Bonded devices and NEW..
So..wait and Select your pc.
Then you will pair your pc with Pda.
Inserted the same code on 2 devices you probably can connect to ActiveSync via bluetooth.
Simply go in your Pocket pc,START-ActiveSync-Tools-Connect via bluetooth.
If this not help,try to set the right port on your PC ActiveSync-File-Connection Settings-COM1-2...etc..
Contact me if problems seems unsolved

Bluetooth help Please!!!

Hi there guys.
I really need some help. I've tried everything but can think of anything else to do anymore.
I have a i-Mate Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003 (not SE). My Desktop PC has got Windows XP with SP2.
I'm trying to send files via Bluetooth from my Desktop PC to my Pocket PC but I get this error message "FTP service not found on target device"
But if I send files via Bluetooth from my Pocket PC to my Desktop PC it works perfectly.
Please guys, if anyone can help me I will appreciate it. I am really tired of taking my SD card out all the time to put it in the card reader or taking the Pocket PC out of the Case and put it in the Cradle.
Thanks in advance.

in my pc bluetooth i can add and remove com ports
when i add com ports i have to deside if they are outgoing or incomming
if i want to send to the xda it would require the port to be outgoing
and of cause the xda would have to have an incomming port enabled
and of cause have turned on recieve beam enabled
try that

Thanks for your help. I get a error that my Pocket PC does not support file transfer.
Can you believe that??

well i havent tried it from a pc but i have tried it from a cellphone and there it worked ok

I don't understand why it doesn't wanna work. My P900 that I had before could send and receive files to and from my Desktop PC via Bluetooth.
Isn't there any software availible that you can install on the Pocket PC for file sharing or file transfer or something?
Where can I go to change my Com ports??

i just tried and it works ok for me
i had a txt file on my desktop and right clicked on it and choosed send to
and picked bluetooth device
and found my pda
and press'd send and my pda said if i wanted to recieve the file and i said yes
i dident add any outgoing com ports
to my bluetooth pc settings
i just turned on my bluetooth on my pda
and made sure i had made it recieve all beam files

Yes, that is how it is supposed to work. But mine doesn't. That's why I say, I can't understand it.
It should be straight forward.

when you go into settings and pick bluetooth settings
have you checked both the inbound com port
and the outbound com port ?
and of cause the Receive all incomming beams in beam under connections

Yes, I did that.

and do you use both the ms bluetooth software on the pc and
use the bluetooth stack on the xda ?
and does stuff like activesync works ?
i'm still on 1.66 rom
and i use ms bluetooth stack
and the driver that xp sp2 auto installed

I don't have the bluetooth stack. Where can I find it?

It's all in the com ports ! Go to pc right click my computer - go properties - hardware - device manager - look for your ports "com " 3/4 the way down page - expand then right click on your 2 ports one at a time - click com port tab then change incoming to com 4 then the same to t e other one but set to com 5 - open active sync - click connection settings clIck on com port 5 then open active sync in ppc tab " connect via bluetooth - should auto fire-up active sync if it does you should now be able to send n recieve ( good luck took me nearly a month to sus it out ) be very wary about the stack thing I dont have it - dont need it xp sp2 handles it fine.......

Com ports
On my computer, I found that I would have to terminate the processes WCESMgr.exe and or wcescomm.exe and then go to device manager, Ports, disable Com 7 and 8 (yours may be 4 and 5 etc), re enable them, open up Active sync and then the Com ports were usable again and active sync would work just fine via bluetooth until I had to reboot my computer again.
This may just be my computer though... Or it could be that when the bluetooth and ActiveSync try to get going at boot, the bluetooth virtual com ports are not ready when active sync starts. I also disabled active sync from starting and I continue to block it's attempts to get back in the start up in the registry. Both Spybot, www.spybot.info , and Lavasoft's Ad Watch, www.lavasoft.de , will do that.

Have u ticked the "receive all incoming beams" in the settings->connections tab ? Cos if u unticked that, u will not receive any files from any computer or smartphone.

...
This is the problem with the MS Bluetooth stack. This software has no FTP service. I've installed the Broadcomm BT stack and now it's working except 1 thing described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=173928#173928
You can send any file via BT from your computer with ActiveSync. Normally make a AS connection via BT and simply browse your device on a PC. Or you can send it also without AS. Just click on My BT Places on your desktop,open your paired Himalaya and drag-and-drop your file to this opened window. You need to be in discoverable mode and the beams-receiving is turned on on your PDA.

How to send *.cab files from PC to 8125 via BT?

The subject tells it all.
I've been looking for answers on many threads. I've asked questions on them for about a week or two... Still no answers...
So, I decided to create new thread.
The question is: how do you send *.cab (or other) files to the Cingular 8125 via Bluetooth?
I have Bluesoleil USB BT dongle and I can't install Activesync on my work computer. When I pair my phone with the PC and refresh services, all I get is BT modem and "Bluetooth Object Push." When I send the file via BT object push the PC will start sending it and then it'll give a disconnected message. Sometimes it sends the whole file with no warnings saying that the file has been sent succesfully, however it is nowhere to be found on the phone. (Searched via Total Commander)
Any suggestions?
How do you send files to your phone?

Doesn't anyone send any files to their phones from PC via BT?

ActiveSync will help
MargaL, not sure this is possible without having ActiveSync on your work computer. I have a BlueTooth USB dongle that I use to sync, but its through the ActiveSync program. From there you can click the Explore button to see a folder for your Mobile Device, then drag and drop away...is there another computer you can use (home?) where you can put activesync instead?

I have Activesync at home but the problem is that I don't really have time to sit on playing with the phone at home... I do it at work ;-) and the problem is that here I have Win 2000 NT and anyways if my boss traces out Active sync here, I think I might have a lot of free time to play with the phone and to look for a new job...
So... maybe there is another way?
Anyways... jorge_culv, thanks for your help...

i send files all the time without activesync. to be clear, i specifically don't use activesync, cause the only way i know in activesync is to explore the device, versus turning on bluetooth on two devices, right clicking any file, and choose "send via bluetooth" or whatever.
make sure your device is discoverable, the pc will find it, and send it

With the Widcomm BT stack everything worked like a charm - just right-click on the file you want to send in the Windows explorer and select "Send to"->"Bluetooth"... All the files went to the "My documents" folder.
A few days ago I installed the Bluesoleil stack that came with my new dongle and I got the same problem! :?
Seems like there is no way to send files via OBEX with the Bluesoleil stack - that software really sucks, Widcomm is so much better...

I tried this on my Mac and was unable to send the file. My Mac reported that the Wizard lacked the necessary services to handle an incoming file. I don't believe that though. Will try with the Wintendo later.
I wonder if this is a BT 2.0 vs. 1.2 issue?

BT 2.0 devices are fully backwards compatible - so that shouldn't matter. It works for me with the same dongle if I use the Widcomm stack instead of Bluesoleil, but I don't want to use Widcomm as it doesn't "cooperate" with my A2DP headset... :?
