Bluetooth Activesync?

Has anyone succeeded yet, I've got a belkin bt card F8T002 and xp, I can get the devices to bond but that's it, no sync. When I try from xda2 i get some message saying the port may be in use. Also the belkin info says I should be able to see several icons from My Bluetooth Places, I've got nothing, and after I set up the configuration, the information doesn't seem to be saved, when I re-enter the configuration I have to put it all in again.
It's a bit of a bugger really

Hy!
I've an xdaII.
I've the same problem with the USB Dongle's 3Com : 3CREB96B (on my PC).
Activesync doesn't initialisate, but i can send and received files by transfer without activesync.

I borrowed a Blue Tooth dongle from a friend at work. I got the ActiveSync running fine after a bit of messing about. It worked fine both for browsing and syncing with outlook
I only got it to work by selecting 'Connect via Bluetooth'. As this was some days ago and I've not yet had the chance to borrow the BT dongle again I'm not quite sure what I did.
However IMHO Bluetooth is one of the worst connection systems I've had to work with in a very long time .... Last time it was this bad was when you had to use a third party TCP/IP stack with Windows 3.1

Bluetooth Sync
unpair your XDA II and your PC. Then modify the below registry and pair again. After Pairing, run your Activesync in your XDA II and click Connect via Bluetooth in the tools

Bluetooth lan?

I'm sorry if i'm not the first who askes this:
- is there any way to connect to lan trough buetooth?
I've got the orange spv m600.
Is there a widcom driver for this?
Thanx a lot for your help

No, that's what WiFi is for.

Yeah, i know, but at home i've got a bluetooth acces point which i use to connect 2 laptops to lan. So i also wanted to do this with the prophet.
Now i have to use a computer with active sync to connect to the internet, but i cant acces lan that way.

Good Question
Wifi aside......it would be handy if we could use bluetooth to connect to the lan setup even if just to transfer files. Theres a program for palm that does a similar idea. But I guess really it IS down to having to use wifi for now.
Bluetooth security has always worried me anyway.

I can transfer files with bluezard on wm5 using filetransfer profile
other options for lan and other profiles are also there but i have no way of testing them

Bluetooth dongle to web browse & sync with PC.

I have just bought a Bluetooth 2.0 usb dongle that I thought I could plug in to my PC and use to sit in the garden to web browse and receive emails, etc, etc.
But I have to say I'm perplexed as to how to set it all up. I have searched the forums but there is little or nothing on this subject in the Hermes threads (could be an ominous sign of course)
I have:
the M3100 with an 02 sim (contract).
Bluetooth 2.0 dongle.
Desktop PC (XP)
Activesync 4.5.0.
Bluesoleil 1.6.4.
Cable modem with broadband.
Could you tell me or point me in the right direction as to how to do this little lot.
Huge thanks.
S.

good idea- ahead of its time
I sort of used to do this, it doesn't work very well. you have so set up a partnership and use the activesync option to get the internet access. I found it slow and range limited. the dongle is like a bookmark now...
go with a wifi router, I just bought my G router for 29 cdn and i'm surfing and emailing as you mentioned, with a 1/10th the setup and hassle.
BT just isn't there yet for this.

Missing Wireless Modem app, trying to use BT fax

I seem to be missing the Wireless modem app. Supposed to be in the programs folder, right? Using vp3Gs WM6. I'm trying to use my 8525 as a bluetooth fax. I have been searching the threads and internet, all instructions point to this program, but I don't know why it is not on my phone. Also, when I discover available services on my phone from my laptop, Dial up networking does not show up, how come? Please help.
Edit: DUN and internet sharing now working, still working on BT fax

DUN
With WM6 you have Internet Sharing. DUN is no longer included.
If you hook up your laptop via the USB cable to the phone and run Internet Sharing you will be fully connected to the internet.
Good luck mate,
Andrew

OK, thanks for the help. Now what about using the phone as a bluetooth fax modem?

Well so it should on WM5 as well be but for some reason i can only use the internet sharing via bluetooth only when
1. launch internet sharing on Tytn and connect with Bluetooth PAN
2. Launch mobile internet explorer and navigate a page or 2 on the tytn.
3. launch bluetooth network connection onlaptop and connect.
4. restart IE or Firefox on laptop and cross your fingers,
it never has worked when doing via USB.
annoying because i run out of power often when using bluetooth for any legnth of time

BT Fax
If you do a search in the WM6 forum you will see a post about BT DUN on WM6. I got it working for my TomTom 910, BT Fax ought to be the same.

Bluetooth fax?
OK, so far, so good.
I used the above links and got internet sharing and DUN to work over bluetooth. Any info on getting BT faxing to work. When I go to my laptops (Dell xps m1210) control panel, phones and modems, I see BT modem, and BT faxmodem, but when I query them under the diagnostics screen, it says the modem fails to respond.

Vogue internet connection via Bluetooth?

I'm getting an HTC Touch Vogue in about a week or so. I am a bit frustrated that Sprint still doesn't offer EVDO in my area (Beaumont, TX which isn't exactly tiny). Since WiFi is sacrificed in the Touch, I was wondering if one can use the bluetooth to share internet from the PC? If so, are there any specific requirements as far as a bluetooth adapter on the PC side, or would most generic bluetooth adapters work?
Thanks!

syncmate
i have seen something about sync mate 1.4 doing this, but have had no luck myself.

Getting it to work isn't straightforward, but as long as your data plan includes PAM (phone-as-modem), it DOES work, and is officially supported. You don't even need official drivers from Sprint to do it.
There's a caveat, though: if you have a bluetooth mouse and you tether the phone via bluetooth & activate internet sharing, the mouse's performance is going to go to hell. It'll stutter, miss clicks, and generally drive you nuts. As a result, I now carry a short USB cable, and almost always tether via usb if I'm using my mouse too.
Make sure you do the following steps in order:
1. Connect the phone via usb and sync. If you can't do this, I guarantee you won't be able to get online, either.
2. Share the phone's internet connection via usb. If you can't share via usb, I can guarantee you won't be able to share via bluetooth, either.
3. Disconnect the usb, and try to sync via bluetooth. If you can't sync via bluetooth, you won't be able to share the internet via bluetooth, either.
4. Share the phone's internet connection via bluetooth. If it doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the phone (go to bluetooth neighborhood, right-click the phone's icon, choose "connect"), and make sure you successfully managed to do steps 1-3. Until the first 3 steps work, you're wasting your time with step 4. ;-)

^^^ I think lotherius is trying to use his home internet connection to share internet with his phone (accessing through your PC/Mac as opposed to through your phone) Hours of goggling has led me to nothing on this
edit:
if your using a pc, doesnt activesync have a pass through feature that allows this?

If what you're saying is you want to view internet on your phone, through bluetooth on your computer, then yes, it is completely possible. On my phone all I have to do is sync my phone via bluetooth, and it works automatically.
