Can't get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth - please help.

I recently got a Bluetooth dongle for my PC but can't get my XDA-II to use any of the services !
When I select ActiveSync and the Sync with Bluetooth I get
'Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. The communications prt is not available. Another program may be using the port, or it may not be valid.
Quit any programs that may be using the port and reconnect. If the problem persists, restart your device using the instructions provided by the manufacturer.'
When I choose Bluetooth settings and select 'Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup'->Start on the XDA II I get 'Please bond with other Bluetooth device which supports serial port or ActiveSync profile as your ActiveSync partner !
The PC has the ActiveSync service enabled and I am now stuck. Please help.

Try this utility.

Install it, do a soft reset. Delete previous BT connection and find again.
you should get an option to sync on your XDA II with the specific computer.

try following this tutorial at geekzone
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2417

try to turn off infrared communication on ppc.
try to delete all bounded devices both pc and xda.
try to search for a bt device again.

You have to follow the above mentioned procedure. After that you start to search the device with ActiveSync.
ActiveSync will start to check all the serial ports, one port before it comes to the port that is used by your BT stack, you should start ActiveSync via BT on your XDAII.
This is the only way (for me) to get that crap working. After the XDAII and the computer have found each other, future syncs via BT are no (or at least not a big) problem. If the XDAII and the computer sometimes dot not find each other, try to sync 2-3 times, it will hopefully work then. Sometimes there seems a kind of timeout error.
I don't use BT anymore 'cause it is really a hard job to get it running. Even when I managed to establish the connection, after some days the connection gets lost again and can only be repaired by re-installing the BT stack or ActiveSync - I am really tired of beta testing all the bluetooth stacks and stopped to use it until the industry established a working standard...

I try a lot of time after install Tobias application for BT, but I can not see the new dialog after pair my XDA II with PC. Someone help me!

I had the exact same experience. I have not sorted out my the BT problems yet but suffered also from the interrupted connection using the cradle until I disabled Norton anti-virus and firewall.

HELP!
No connection possible between my PC and MDA-II.
Bluetooth Devices program in Windows XP SP2 comes up with "incoming port: 17", while ActivSync seraches only ports 1 to 9.
How can I make them listen to the same port?

activesync over bluetooth

Does somebody have a guide to connect activesync via bluetooth? I think I have everything setup correctly but I cant connect. I have the MS BT stack on my XDA II. I have my PC setup with COM4 and COM5 ports as BT virtual serial ports. Do I connect activesync from the XDA or the PC?
All suggestions welcome
Thanks

I had problems getting active sync to work via blue tooth until I installed the Widcomm BlueTooth Driver on my PC (NOT my XDA2).
The file I used was WIDCOMM BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE 1.4.2 Build 10.
After that I installed BlueTooth Tools on my XDA2 http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html and then initiated pairing.
These two together worked a treat and gave me full functionality from my XDA2 over bluetooth.
Hope it helps

Thanks codeus!
I couldn't install the widcomm drivers on my laptop as it has built-in bluetooth. I installed the bluetooth utils on my XDA and followed the short guide. I am now replying via my Xda, and am very happy. Thanks again.

Bluetooth Network Access, Please, Please, please Help....!!!

Hi there,
I have an Qtek 2020 and I've installed WM2005.
ROM version 1.60a.00WWE
Radio Version: 1.14.00
Protocol version: 1337.24
I want to use newtwork access service but I cant.
when I want to setup this service in My Bluetooth places. it sais no Device found. and when I find manually it sais that your device has not network access profile.
I tried to install WIDCOMM BTW-CE but it didnt installed. it sais that no bluetooth radio found!!
I really need network access. Please help me!!!!!

if you can sync with activesync using bluetooth then you can connect
not sure if 2005 BT stack support the bluetooth PAN profile
and not sure if there are any widcomm out for 2005 yet

I had this problem also before I install WM2005 with the same error.
I thaught maybe I should upgrade my radio versio !!!!

the radiostack is only related to GSM not bluetooth
these are guides as to how you activesync with bluetooth

Most of the time.. its more acurate when you connect from PC to PPC not PPC to PC.

I think my English is very bad
I can connect to ActiveSync without any problems.
My problem is to use Network Access service.
I have no problem with other services sych as Audio Gateway, Headset, Ativesync, Serial port and...

when you are connected with activesync then you have network access!
if you minimize activesync while it's connected then you can just open IE or messenger or what ever
that is unless you disabled it in activesycn on the pc or the firewall on the pc block it
or if you have set it to use your isp network insted of your my network in connections on the pocketpc

No... you didn't understand me.
I want have an IP address for my pocket PC as you connect with WiFi.
And explore the shared folder of the network PCs with Resco File Explorer.

Wee this picture.
When I connect with USB my pocket PC get and IP address and I can ping it.
I want to do this also when I connect via bluetooth.[/img]

oh dident know that activesync using bluetooth did not assign an ip to the xda2
well then there are 2 options i guess
1 find a widcomm or another bluetooth stack that works on 2005 which support the PAN profile (pan is network over bluetooth as in not using activesync)
2 downgrade to 2003SE or 2003 and get the widcomm stack which works for it and support PAN

I've installed the WIDCOMM. but the previouse BLutoth stack did't remove. and now I have too icons of bluetooth!!!
but widcomm did't work properly and it sais that: "The Bluetooth radio failed to turn ON due ro insuffivent driver menory available. [!!!] you must perform a normal reset before you can turn ON the Bluetooth Radio.

Try to use PocketLanCe: www.pocketlance.com

I have the same problem... htc p4350, wm5 aku3/3.5 the wm device doesn't see the Network Access bluetooth service which the PC is running. (pocket pc doesn't seem to support Bluetooth PAN correctly). This is crap. In the year 2007, simple things like bluetooth pan shouldn't go unimplemented in an operating system built by the richest software company in the world. on a device i paid $500 for. i could implement this stuff myself in less than a week if the code weren't closed source. gosh i hate hate HATE our world.
also the pocketlance website is password protected..

Has anyone managed to get a Prophet to ActiveSync over bluetooth? If so what ROM are you using and what Bluetooth dongle and bluetooth stack?
Any tips?

Yes, it's actually simple, works for me with every rom I have tested (HTC MS Stack), just make sure that activesync on your host is listening on the right com port ,refresh your PPC and the activesync service should be visible, Lurk around this board, there is alot good reading material to find

Cheers. I wanted confirmation first of all that it does work.
I am using the PDA Mobiz AKU3.2 beta ROM and I have only tried with that ROM not any previous. Could you tell me what ROM you are using at present please? I may well "downgrade" to one that is known to work.
And what Bluetooth device are you using on your desktop PC, and what Windows bluetooth stack (eg Widcomm)?
Thanks.

Hi m8,
I'm using the latest official Qtek rom on my S200
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283245
and sync to a HP/Compaq NX7010 notebook which has WidComm 3.0.1.905
Most issues I have seen where related to proper com port selection
regards
marl

research a bit

The BT issue has been an old one around.
If you are having problems, I suggest:
1- After HARD RESET, make your very first move, to BT pair your Prophet with your BT laptop or PC. Do that from your PDA. The AS profile will be there.
2- then do whatever other pairing you like
3- installing TomTom, pairing with GPS's or Hands free kits BEFORE an Active Sync pairing, REMOVES THE ACTIVE SYNC OPTION FROM THE REGISTRY, and REPLACES THAT with THE SERIAL PORT on your PC available profiles!. I've found no way back for that, no matter how much I tweaked the registry.
Hope it helps.

Thanks guys I will keep playing with it and hopefully get somewhere before I through the JAMin out of the window.
I'm trying to get Phone Control to work with my PC in my car. Essential application if only I could use it. www.phoco.net

I use the 818pro with Macbook , surely with the built-in bluetooth apple with MS stack.
1) (not sure if this step is necessary?) Just make USB active sync normally first time.
2) open the COM4 on PC as incoming port. [double click the icon on bottom right "Bluetooth icon"]
3) make COM6 as incoming port on 818pro [Connection ->Bluetooth]
4) paring the 818pro and PC, this step it will show you the ActiveSync service, tick it.
5) go to the ActiveSync program and Menu->Connect via Bluetooth.
that's it.
I've ever used with the dongle Billionton, with the Widcomm driver.
I think the trick is about the COM port, you just prepare both "incoming port" on PC and PDA, and then both of them can touch each others.
Hope this helps.

No way to apply the com port with WM5 and Win XP to AS via BT. (using Billiontom dongle)

Step by Step - Using Xperia as a BT Modem

Can someone explain this?
It would be appreciated!

Want to know that too!

I had the option to use use my HTC TyTN II as a modem, in the default Comm Manager.
Can we use the same Comm Manager from HTC? And thus get the opportunity to use X1 as a USB or Bluetooth modem?

It's built into the ROMs look for 'Internet Sharing' ... It's an application

Since it's a WM6.1 phone, I'm sure this has been covered many many times. Google it.

Guys, I am trying to connect via Bluetooth, not usb cable. Usb cable is trivial, you just connect the cable and hit internet connection. However, it isn't that easy with BT. Does my pc need any special BT software? How do you pair it and then what do you do to use the internet? I have ATT so do I need to create a modem? etc. Thanks.

you can use this one aswell.
not bluetooth but will do.

Hi
Many PC bluetooth implementations whether built-in or add-on will come with their own software. The bluetooth stack that was introduced for XP with SP2 will, generally not be as comprehensive as the bluetooth stack shipped with your bluetooth device.
Not all bluetooth devices come with their own bluetooth software, some rely on that which MS added to XP with XP SP2.
The X1 (like all WM5+ WM phones) supports Bluetooth PAN. There are several steps to perform before this will work.
1) On The X1 turn on bluetooth and make it discoverable.
2) On the X1, start up 'Internet sharing', select the internet connection, i.e: 'contract internet', and select bluetooth as the connection medium. Tap 'Connect'
3) Pair the X1 with the PC: On the PC, use your bluetooth software (or that which comes with XP) to search for a bluetooth device. Once its found, enter the same pass key on both ends (aaaa is fine, since its only a temporary key), and complete the paring process. You should then end up with a list of services that the device (the X1) offers. One of these should be 'Network Access' or 'Bluetooth PAN', choose this.
4) You should get a shortcut to the connection you just set up above in the bluetooth software on your PC, double clicking it should make it connect.
5) In future, to connect, you start up 'Internet Sharing' on the X1, select bluetooth as the connection method and 'Contract Internet' (or similar) as the connection, then hit connect. On the PC, you click the shortcut that you ended up with in (4).
6) I **don't use** the bluetooth support built into XP SP2, but rather the bluetooth stack supplied with my laptop. I have never tried to get bluetooth PAN working with the generic bluetooth support that shipped with XP(SP2) - i.e I am not 100% sure that the above will work with it.
