I guess I found a way to make AS 4.1 work offline!
After having numerous problems getting AS4.1 to work, I read somewhere on this forum that after you connect it to your network at work it will work like a charm. Indeed id did, even after I disconected from the network.
But today, I had to hard reset my JJ and AS4.1 did no longer sync! Just notes where synched. Well here is what I found out:
A) WM5.0 connects through a meager TCP/IP connection!
- Open your connection settings and search for Local Area Connection 3 (or 4)
- Go to properties and disable QoS Packet Scheduler
- Select the "show icon on tray" option
B) Open ActiveSync ande DELETE previous partnerships (Delete All)
- Open Connection Settings and select the following options:
- Show Status on Icon bar [X]
- Allow USB Connections [X]
- Allow connections to on....[COM3]
- This Computer connects to: [Work Network]
- Open ActiveSync when device connects [X]
C) Finnaly go to outlook 2003 and UNSELECT the Work Offline Feature
Connect your device!
It should synch perfectly OFFLINE! On dec 5th I'll check the settings to connect on the network and will update this post.
Can anyone please verify if this acctually works. ?
Cheers
Guys,
I can't setup ActiveSync 4.1 to work over BT
Can you please give me more details on how to do that?
I have a Win XP laptop with builtin BT.
Martin
did you do the normal procedure? i mean pairing the two devices?
you should do it though from the device, it's more certain to work.
anyway if it didn't, try to do the following:
check the connectiond settings in AS 4.1 & make sure to check the box where it says "allow connections to one of the following:" and take note of the port #.
then go to the advance configurations on the bluetooth icon on the task bar, click on the "local services" tab, and click on "add serial port" button, choose the same port # you noted in the connection settings in AS.
that's it, you should be able to sync over BT.

funny today work perfectly, yesterday coudn't get it to work..?
thanks anyway, it is a nice way not to have wires around.
I've searched through the forums and haven't found anything regarding this specifically... does anyone know if we can use the Prophet (I have JAMin) as a GPRS modem? I used to use my Smartphone for this and would really like to use my new Prophet, but can't figure it out. The only time my laptop recognizes the hand-set as a modem is through Bluetooth and even at that doesn't allow a connection through Dial-up networking.
I would like to connect through USB... or by any means for that matter at this point! Help!
Yes, you can use the Jamin as a GPRS modem.
Instructions for setting this up thru USB and BT are at the bottom of the page.
http://www.imate.com/t-DEVICEMANUAL_JAMMIN.aspx
Please could you post the details as I can't see the site due to not being registered.
I own a Prophet too, but not a Jamin. Would love to know how to use it as a modem.
Thanks!
Pretty much copied word for word from the iMate document. However, I did do some editing as the original doc referenced screen shots that obviously aren't here.
1. From your PC's Windows desktop, double-click on the Bluetooth icon within the System Tray (Bottom Right Hand Corner of the screen).
2. This will open the Bluetooth Devices screen. Click on the Options Tab and tick the ‘Turn discovery on’ checkbox.
3. Tap on the COM Ports Tab and click the ‘Add’ button.
4. Select the Incoming COM Ports Tab and click the ‘OK’ button.
5. Click the ‘OK’ button.
6. On the PC’s System Tray in the bottom righ hand corner of the screen, right click on theActiveSync icon and select the ‘Connection Settings’ option from the pop-up menu.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
Uncheck the ‘Allow USB Connections’ checkbox and tick the ‘Allow connections to one of the following:’
From the dropdown list, select the appropriate COM port relevant to your PC, as shown in step 5 above.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
7. On the JAMin, the Bluetooth ActiveSync connection pairing attempt is made by the following steps.
A) Tap on the Comm. Manager icon in the bottom right hand corner of the Today screen.
B) Tap on the Bluetooth icon and select ‘Bluetooth Settings…’
C) Tick the checkboxes.
D) Tap on ‘New Partnership…’
E) Select the appropriate BT device from the list, then tap Next.
F) Enter the Passkey.
8. On the PC, a balloon appears above the System Tray, prompting the user to authorize the PDA’s Bluetooth access attempt. Tap on the balloon and then enter the same Passkey/PIN as was input into the device and press the Next button is clicked. A confirmation of completion screen will then appear.
9. On the JAMin, the ActiveSync Service needs to be confirmed by ensuring the check box is ticked and then tap Finish. (I don't remember if you need to manually start ActiveSync via BT after this. If you do, just open ActiveSync on the JAMin, tap on Menu then select ‘Connect via Bluetooth’)
10. Once the Bluetooth ActiveSync link has been established, the final phase of configuration is required. On the PC, you should get a Synchronization Setup Wizard window. Press the Next button.
11. Choose the relevant options that need to be synchronized between the device and PC, from the list, and then click the next button.
12. The ActiveSync Settings are saved.
13. Synchronization of the appropriate information types then occurs with the Exchange Server and PC as defined in step 11 above.
14. Click Finish.
for the ppc to detected as a modem you have to start the modem link. make sure you do not have active sync usb enabled. then with the disk in the drive of the pc enable the modem link. the pc will detect new hardware. then install the drivers from the cd rom.
Driver installation is driving me crazy!
I hope that someone can help me out because my problem is driving me nuts!
I have all the drivers on a CD as well as stored locally (unpacked, etc). Now, when I activate the modem link and the Laptop finds a new hardware, I am not able to install this driver (it says the device is unknown, while it should say HTC Modem (or something like this)).
So, I guess the problem is that the laptop does not know which drivers it should install. How can I install the driver without going through the setup wizard??
Any ideas?? It really seems a very simple process and I feel I shouldnt get stuck on this very first step.
Thank you for any advice!
This website have a good instruction on how to setup our prophet (WM5) as a modem. I sucessfully setup it yesterday.

thanks whyhon, these were the instructions I followed. Everything is ok now (the modem mystrially installed after a few attempts) and the laptop is now hooked up to the s200.
The last problem I am facing right now is that I can not connect to the internet. I have tried quite a lot of different settings but I am not able establish an internet connection.
What else could I be doing wrong?
Are you dialling to GPRS using the USBModem_Dialer.exe?
Try using window XP build in dialer.
Start> connect to > HTC USB Modem (WirelessModem)
>Click properties
In the option tab, check "promtp for name and password"
Then dial using your operation's name & password.
Make sure you enable the Modem Link (USB) in your WM5.
Suprisingly, i able to connect at 230.8kbs using my Prophet.

thanks whyhon! I have tried to connect this way or with a dialer.exe.
The problem is that I am able to connect the prophet to the laptop (230.4kbps) successfully but I am not able to open any internet sites. When I check the connection I see that I am sending packages (or data I guess) but I am not able to receive anything.
I have tried a lot of settings and followed instructions very thoroughly but I can not get this connection working for the life of me.
I am about to give up on this one.
Would I be able to simply dial to a connection like AOL by using airtime minutes? Or is that also a mayor task?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank yoU!
No one has an answer to this one?? Sitting at SF airport and would like to use internet via laptop rather prophet... Please perhaps anyone can suggest a remedy? It seems to be working fine for other people so it must be something simple to fix in my configuration. Thank you guys!
Yes, I know your problem. Either you have not set the APN in the dialer to the correct server, or your mobile provider requires a proxy server for all http requests.
In the latter case, you can assign the proper proxy server in IE options to be associated with this particular modem connection.

I believe that the APN settings are correct.
I havent tried the proxy server settings in IE though.
Now, how do I assign a particular proxy setting (I guess IP address and port #, right?) to a modem only??
I appreciate your help!!
hello guys,
i need an help to configure AS & BT. Do you know a good guide
that could help me? Because when I try to sync from my HTC3600
with AS through BT I get an error message in Italian that states that
there is no partnership to a PC that supports BT. The problem that I have
already set up a partnership with definition of the serial port.
I guess it is a bit difficult to explain, but who has already had such
a problem could understand.
Please, let me know your experience. Regards.
These are instructions I developed for someone with a T-mobile MDA (Wizard G4) ...the USB sync was non-functional
NOTE: You must first install Microsoft ActiveSync on your computer…it can be downloaded here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
(1) Enable the Bluetooth radio on your computer.
(2) Open ActiveSync on your computer…Start, Programs, ActiveSync.
(3) Select File from the menu and then select “Connection Settings.”
(4) Check the box that says: “Allow connections to one of the following:”
(5) Record the COM ports listed in the drop down menu (e.g., COM1, COM3, COM6, COM7, COM10) up to COM20.
(6) Select one of the COM ports (COM7 worked for me on this device…COM6 would cause ActiveSync to try to connect, but it couldn’t connect!?!?)
(7) On your T-mobile MDA Cell phone:
a. Go to Start, select Settings, and then go to the Connections tab
b. Tap on Bluetooth.
c. On the Mode tab check both boxes (Turn on Radio…, and Make this device discoverable….”
d. Tap on the Devices tab…select New Partnership…your computer should appear in the window.
e. Tap on the name of your computer to highlight it and select Next…
f. You may need to enter a Passkey (depending on the settings)…enter “0000” (i.e., enter 4-zero’s) and hit Next.
g. You may also have to enter the 4-zero’s on your computer.
h. The Select Services window should appear…check the box that says “ActiveSync” and then tap on Finish.
i. If you do NOT see ActiveSync you CANNOT proceed
ii. If you do NOT see ActiveSync as an option then select the Refresh option.
iii. Close all windows on your MDA.
(8) On your T-mobile MDA Cell phone
a. Go to Start, select Programs, and open the ActiveSync program.
b. Tap on Menu and then select Connect via Bluetooth.
c. ActiveSync should open and connect with your device.
Troubleshooting:
(a) If you get an error message that no device is set up, and the MDA asks if you want to set up a device, select Okay.
i. It will bring you back to the Bluetooth program & the Select Services window.
ii. If you do not see ActiveSync as an option go to the COM Ports tab and tap on New Outgoing Port.
iii. Your computer should be highlighted in the Select Device window.
iv. Click Next.
v. You will see a drop down menu with some COM ports listed…record these ports (e.g., COM6 & COM7)
vi. Make sure the COM port you selected in Step 6 above is shown in this list…select the same port (e.g., COM7).
(b) It has been my experience that the two keys are:
i. Step 7h …keep trying to “Refresh” until you see ActiveSync as an option (i.e., establish & then delete partnerships, and re-establish partnerships until it appears).
ii. Step 9a-vi …mess around with the combination of COM ports until it matches.
iii. Be sure that the port you’re trying to install in Steps 4, 5 & 6 are associated with your Bluetooth device…go to the Control Panel and examine your Bluetooth COM ports.
(c) NOTE: You do NOT need to establish the partnership from the computer side…it is ALL done from the MDA side!
