Hi all !
I use my Universal with Navigon 5.2 and Holux GPSlim236 BT GPS unit for quite some time already without any problems.
Just recently tried to install a GPS utility to see some GPS protocol details and the problem is that i do not know which COM port to use and how to connect BT GPS module to my Universal before starting this GPSDash or GPSTuner utility which wants to know COM port number.
Please, help !
Baudy.
hi
You should go to bluetooth settings and see which COM port is assigned to Outbound serial port connections
By default it's COM6
good luck
you need to create a fake com post in the registry so this programs can see com port 3. Problem is they don4t see the microsoft bluetooth port because they don4t know how to.
One you created this fake port, you can select it in any program.
Somebody still has to come with a simple app to do this though, because the only way I now is manipulating the active and the builtin driver section.
sometimes you can also edit the ini files of these utilities to directly indicate the COM port that you have chosen. Helps for example with Navigon.
@robal: this is not the case for the Universal. It uses a completely different BT stack. Free ports are COM0 and COM8

In the BT settings there is no Inbound or Outbound COM port assigned.

That's because you need to do that yourself. Create a new outbound port on COM8, link it to your receiver and then specify COM8 in your programs.

it defaults to the modem unit in your PC and there is no config file to change it... I will take an indepth look and tweak it to see if I can get it working...

ReadMe says "Phone must be a GSM device that supports sending SMS. The device must be installed as a modem over an interface such as: Infrared (IrDA), Serial Cable, Bluetooth, PCCard etc."... which makes me think that it should work?
I have a T68i at the mo (XDAII soon). Will mess about with getting my T68i paired with my XP Pro desktop which can talk BT via my TDK USB adapter.
Will report back...
Just a quick reply now... it's late here in the UK and I need some sleep
Simple answer is YES - Microsoft SMS Sender works over a BT connection.
My test setup comprised:
- PC = XP Pro SP1
- BT Adapter on PC = TDK USB running ver 1.4.2.18 of the TDK software
- Phone = SE T68i
In SMS Sender it shows an 'Available Device' as "Bluetooth Modem" which is the modem you see in Control Panel etc. Only tweak I had to do was see what COM port the Control Panel modem was setup as...
...COM5 in this test.
In the Bluetooth Configuration s/w "Client Applications" TAB I had to [Add COM port] which auto-detected my 'Bluetooth Serial Port T68i' application as it called it. This gave me the modem settings I needed.
Need to investigate exactly what setup this gave for it to work, so it wasn't quite PnP, but start to finish took me 15mins to be successfully texting my wife with HELLO and TEST1 TEST2 etc
I decided to install the latest TDK software, rather than install the Microsoft BT stack that I have, as I knew MS doesn't install a Serial Port driver by default, TDK does.
From the readme i read, the TDK can cohabitat with MS so will try this tomorrow if I have time.
Good luck, at least you know this can now be done - with the right s/w!

PS my T68i does not have a sent text in my "5 Sent items" SMS Messages folder.
So it looks like your phone simply sends the text secretly, no one will ever know

The TDK USB BT dongle I have can be found under the "go blue" drivers section.
T68i maybe but XDAII sadly not

Well I'm glad you managed to get it working with your T68i, it's just a pity it won't work with the XDA. Seems a little embarassing really but despite some effort I can't get the thing behaving properly.
I can get ActiveSync working over Bluetooth and I'm able to get network access via my XDA too.
I tried downloading and running the TDK software but it wouldn't work with my D-Link dongle. So Having reinstalled the D-Link stuff I set up the bluetooth modem on COM5 and configuring it for Dial-up networking ud think it'd work - but no such luck.
I keep getting the following message:
---------------------------
SMS Sender Error
---------------------------
Failed to connect to the selected device.
Check that the device is correctly connected and not in use by any other application.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
anybody else going to try this out and give us a helping hand?
thanks.
I was able to use my Garmin GPS 10 with my PocketPC with windows 2003 with no problem.
On my JasJar the Garmin Que (v2.70) does not detect the GPS. The JasJar is able to pair with the GPS 10 with no problem. I've got it on Outgoing COM8. Then in the GPS Control Panel I have program on COM7 and hardware on COM8.
In the Que s/w under Setup -> Interfaces I have only the following options:
- <Auto Detect>
- Serial on Cable COM1:
- Infrared Port
- Ir on COM3:
- RIL on COM6:
- COM7:
- QCT Data Interface
No matter what I select it does not detect the GPS.
I've logged the problem with Garmin, but I've not had any response yet.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
garmin gps10 & que working
hi,
you should find an earier entry from me on this, i manually put an entry into my registry listing com4, and on bluetooth setup the connection on com4, i could then see com4 in que. interesting since then the registry entry disapeared after a reboot but que and gps10 has worked ever since

Thanks for the reply, but can you assist me by telling me which Registry entries you modified?
I recall on my pda2k there was a text file in the garmin que application folder that include the setup and port configuration, and if my memory serve me will just edit the file on your desktop for your port and reload it into your pocket pc overwritting the old one.
that is if my memory serves me will, sorry if it didn't.

I had a look in Garmin folder and it contains the GarminQue file, an error log, plus some other binary files. Unfortunately no configuration text file. :-(
Registry Key
Ok I found the registry key to mofify. Thanks sgordon for the pointer.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/Active/73
Make sure that the GPS is on Outgoing port COM4
Add a String Value:
Value name: Name
Value data: COM4:
Start Garmin Que and go to System Setup -> Iterfaces. There will be a blank entry in the dropdown list, choose that. The s/w should now see the Garmin.
For some strange reason the key disappears after a reboot, but the Garmin Que s/w is still able to link to the GPS.
Mapsource and Que on WM5
Ok now that I'm able to link my JasJar and the GPS10, then next problem that I have is that neither Mapsource nor nRoute detects the unit so I'm unable to transfer maps or waypoints to my JasJar.
I've tried to install the the Que on the device and on the SD Card, but no luck.
Any ideas?
Another Way
I was forced to reset my JasJar and after the reset the key described above was not available, but I found another solution.
Search in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/Active for one of the keys which has a value with Drivers\BuiltIn\GPSID
In this key the name is GPD0:
Change it to COM4: (if your GPS is on COM4
Then start Que and COM4: wil now be availble under Interfaces.
I also resolved my issue with the MapSource maps by telling MapSource to write the map directly to the SDCard (My notbook has a built in SDCard Reader). Thanks for the assist.
i did the same but i cant transfer the tracks and waypoints from wm5 to mapsource. Any clue?
for example I want to connect 111.111.111.111:8888
that is none standard port (3389)
how can connect it with TSC on my o2 exec?
if the port is 3389,it works well.
thx
How to change the Terminal Services Remote listening port
Hello,
THis page may help you:
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.o...html#change_the_Remote_Desktop_Listening_Port
The idea is to create a registry value that corresponds to the port 8888 in your example).
Hope this helps.
Has anybody been able to create a bluetooth connection/sync with Vista??
If so how??
vista intends to use "bluetooth" word in registry value instead of your "COM" port value where mine is COM12 port via bluesoliel so many times i have to use regedit to find and change name from "bluetooth" to "COM12" for it to recoganise and you have to download newer type of active sync for vista from microsoft(MS) site after you have got its genuine key checked from MS site ,else you might have to buy vista supported bluetooth or upgrade your drivers which are still in process of developing them the way vista wants them to be.
Go to \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services, modify the value name "SerialPort" from "Bluetooth or Infrared" to "COM12", where COM12 is the virtual com port associated to your bluetooth incoming com port(12 in my case). The number varies from pc to pc, so choose the right com port for your specific use.
Guys,
i know im not that great of a programmer. But i was wondering if anyone can program the following setup? it would help A LOT of us newbies .
- Serial Port emulator for PocketPC.
a. Input has to be transfert from a serial port (for use with activesync) to the internet service (TCP) with a specific IP-adress and back.
- Serial Port emulator for PC.
a. The emulator needs to listen to a specific port for TCP connection requests. And forward everything to the emulated com-port and back.
I know there excist many serial emulators for the pc, but none with an TCP/IP server integraded.
For a visual display, take a look at the picture that is included.
This is a very interesting thing. It would just provide ActiveSync over ANY TCP/IP connection (so also WiFi and such).
The serial ports part can certainly be done (not that I looked into how difficult it is, but I know it is possible)
I am however still unclear in how doing this would enable ActiveSync to work. Sure I can connect the PC side to a COM port, but how would this work on the PPC side? If I look in ActiveSync there, I don't see an option to connect to a COM port. Maybe I am overlooking something.
There are several USB-over-IP solutions out there, would they help in achieving your goal?? although its not clear to me what your goal is...
Hope this is helpful,
Cheers!
