Hi, I am probably being greedym but here goes.
I have bluetooth working well with ActiveSync to my desktop PC. This is set up with GuestOnly as I only ever use it to get a network connection in the house for web browsing. To use it, I select "Connect via Bluetooth" from the ActiveSync app.
I also have a laptop, and currently I have to sync with IR as the Bluetooth is set up for the desktop.
Is there any way to get another menu item so I can have "Connect via Bluetooth to Desktop" and "Connect via Bluetooth to Laptop."
That would be perfect. I think it's registry help I need, I think I saw it working once with Bluetooth Tools running, but that caused its own problems!
If this isn't possible, is there a way to sync with the Outlook on the laptop VIA the desktop PC (since they are on the same network)?
Any advice greatfully received.
Try to use BTHTools1200 (don't remember where I get it) to make profiles for different BT connections.

I'm able to sync via Bluetooth. But I have to initiate the connection from my XDA II. Start ActiveSync in XDA II, click "Tools", select "Connect via Bluetooth". Is there a way to initiate the connection from PC ActiveSync?
BT ActiveSync
I don't personally think there is a way to do this unless you take remote control of your pocketpc from the pc. What I have also found is that the Bluetooth is very shaky when anything other than small data transfers are concerned e.g. if you try to surf to a web page with loads of images or you have quite a few pages in AvantGo, the BT connection will be dropped. It is far from ideal...
I have had zero success in synching by bluetooth, all I can do is beam files to the pc via bluetooth, I also cannot browse my xda2 from the bluetooth desktop.

You need to create a virtual serial port using the Bluetooth software on your desktop PC. Then set the Connection Settings on ActiveSync to allow connection from the serial port you just created. If your Bluetooth software has an ActiveSync profile, it will do all this for you automatically. Otherwise, you need to use the Serial Port profile.
You can browse your XDA II through ActiveSync. Just select the Explore command.
how to control the assigned com port
the bluetooth software on the desktop insists on setting the com ports as com10 or higher...I read somewhere that activesync does not recognize com port higher than 9.
I re-installed the drivers several times....and it only allows for com 10...and of course activesync does not recognize that as an available port to connect to!!
any thoughts??
setup:
Widcom 1.4.2 bluetooth driver on win XP Pro
Epox USB dongle
Activesync 3.7.1
I am using the same software but it always offers com3 or com4 which works fine, if you right click on the bluetooth desktop serial port profile does it not give you an choice under "properties"? I have worked out how to do most things now but I am struggling with my laptop with bt dongle trying to browse the web through sharing, I know the settings are correct but it just wont let me through, I have a full network access running and can access files etc but no internet on laptop. :?
Trying to BT AS from my JasJar to my PC.
PC has activesync service setup on COM6
AS is listening on COM6
JasJar has outgoing COM set to 4
When I start a BT sync reports "Cant find existing Bluetooth Partnership that supports activesync." and asks for a search.
Run through the wizard and select my PC and its serial port. After finishing device will not start a connection.
Go back to activesync and try to connect via bluetooth and gives the "cant find partnership error.
Tried two different adapters on the PC and neither get it to work.
Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks!
Remove all the BT setting you have setup. Just follow the Help file on AS4.1 it works, really!
Tried all that and still not working.
Device just doesnt seem to initiate an outgoing connection.
ActSync connection problem!!
Did you fix the connection problem, think we are living the same case.
If you did fix would you please tell me what was the way?
thanks!
@Dave
From the PC AS, select File>Connection Settings and uncheck USB connection and select the BT COM port for Allow Connections. Then select "Connect" and wait till it tries all the connections and fails. Then selec Cancel and then try to connect from your Universal.
PS - I am assuming you have set-up the BT pairing using the Control Panel on the PC and Added the BT COM port from there as well
Hi,
Tried your suggestion. No luck.
PC is setup correctly. AS listening on COM6 (BT AS port as shown in my local services)
Jas doesnt seem top even initiate an outgoing connection. Get no blue indication on my desktop icon or on the port status item in the control panel.
Sorry to keep asking questions, but when you set-up the pairing between the PC and JJ did you get a Wizard on the PC that identified the ActiveSync service? Does the pairing info on the JJ say the PC provides a ActiveSync service?
I've had the same problem with my M5000, just solved it.
I removed the Toshiba bluetooth Drivers from the system and rebooted. WinXP SP2 found new hardware and proceeded to install what I assume to be standard MS Bluetooth stack. (DellHardWare.jpg)
Next, I deleted the bluetooth partnership from the M5000. I created a new partnership with my laptop, but initiated from the M5000. At this point, the M5000 didn't offer any services to use with the partnership. So, back to the laptop, creating a new incoming COM port (COM8),(DellCom8.jpg) and then set Activesync on the laptop to use that newly created port. (DellAS_connect.jpg)
Back to the M5000 bluetooth partnership, select the newly created partnership and click refresh (M5000btooth.jpg) This Time it offers me the activesync service. Tick the activesync service and then save.
Finally, on the M5000, from activesync select bluetooth connection...and that was it. Still working. Once I've disconnected and soft reset I'll try to make the connection again and report back. I'll also try to use the M5000 as a wireless modem and post results here.
FrankyG, great news. But I think the procedure you described is not that different from the AS44.1 Help file I suggested earlier.
i do it, but i doesn´t runs
Delete all your BT COM in control panel/system/device manager (select view and show hidden devices) by going to safe mode. Afterwhich restart your PC and try to pair again....it's always works for me
I just realized that I cannot sinchronize my emails/contacts, etc via Wi-fi. I can only do it by USB cable, Bluetooth and Irda and GPRS. What about Wi-Fi connection!!!. I use Exchange Server.
Thanks for your help
Bluetooth sync
I think wifi sync is gone from WM 5.0. BTW, how do you get BT sync to work? I've been trying to do it with no luck on my Vaio notebook.
Easy
When you are inside your Tytn Acive Sync just press the menu and choose BT.
Cheers
For some reason I can not get Active Sync to work using bluetooth. It used to work before I installed Touch-It 4.4; but I don't think this has anything to do with it.
Paired my device with my laptop. Enable the Activesync BT protocol, set the com port to COM6. Opened Activesync on my laptop, allowed connection via COM 6. Started Activesync on my device and tapped "Connect via Bluetooth" and it asks me to pair a device because he can not find a device with ActiveSync enabled. Tapping my laptop does not sort any effect.
Anyone experience with this, help would be greatly appriciated!
I have the same problem. I read that that the AS BT link has to be first (before adding headphone, gps, etc.) but after deleting all of my connections and re-trying, it still doesn't work. In addition, when I first tried it, none of my other connections would work anymore.... and still don't consistently. I couldn't find a resolution after extensive googling either...
bump - It's been a whil
How can we have an activesync connection via bluetooth? I tried "connect via bluetooth" option from device's activesync, but I always get the " Cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports Activsync. Would you like to set up a partenership now?" message and after the bluetooth settings screen appears in second tab with activate bluetooth. I create a partenership with PC several times, but never I got the activesync service.
I notice also that in activesync's connections option there is only USB and not Bluetooth selection.
If anyone succeed to make a bluetooth activesync connection, please describe how you managed it.
what OS do you use? vista?
it ist most likely a windows problem... I have the same problem using vista business! the upcoming SP2 should bring a solution to this because it's updating the windows bluetooth stack...
I' managed to connect finally. I tried with Windows XP and I have a bluesoleil bluetooth software. I searched for this in google and and I found a solution.
I didn't try in vista though.
Hi,
I've experienced a problem with Active Sync, not the same but it could be helpfull for you.
First of all, you need to switch on bluetooth on the two device as visible for others (on HTC and Windows).
Just click next... and everything will be installed automaticaly.
Where I've found an error, it's when I use active sync on my HTC it's says me that he can't find any device to connect to.
(I suppose you have the same problem)
First of all, go to device manager and configure the bluetooth device, unselect 'port com' or 'Active sync' on it.
Shutdown and restart your HTC.
Go back to Active sync on HTC, launch a bluetooth syncronisation, he will put again the same remarks 'Unable to synchronise'. Just click on select a device, go to your comuter and select the tabs synchronisation.
Tadam, it's working.
;-)
