ActiveSync via bluetooth instead of USB?

Dear all, is that possible to activesync mini and pc without USB? Whenever using usb to sync, mini will be charged. Can i prevent this auto charging problem coz lets say the battery in my mini is always full, will it do any harm when it keep charging whenever we activesync? If we can activesync using BT, what is the procedure?

Just go to bluetooth settings and do activesync setup. you will need to re pair your PC. works really well.

rmg, what do u mean by repair the pc, can u provide me with more details and step on doing this, appreciate your help thanks

rmg, i did what u told me, but when i click start button on the "bluetooth activesync setup:" the message box come out "please start bounding with other bluetooth device which support serial port or activesync profile as your activesync partner". i cannot get it done, can u help

how i do is it
1) bond PC and Phone in Bluetooth Settings in windows
2) on phone go to Activesync - tools - Options - Options - Dropdown box
Eather Bluetooth or 19200 default
3)Open active sync pc
4) Active Sync on Phone - Tools - Connect Via Bluetooth
and that is how i connect

In the advanced settings for your BT dongle you will need to check what Bluetooth Serial port number is being used. I found mine under local services. Once you have that go into the proerties for AS and where it lists the serial port to use put the COM Port number of your BT Serial port in that box. Now when you hit the AS button they should be able to connect with each other. Hope that helps.

One of the requirements is for you to have a ActiveSync 3.8.
Once you have that installed a new port will also be installed with the Windows BT stack. When the BT stack is detected a new port will also be available.
Now the next step is to go to the PPC. Hit Start go to Settings, System and then Blue Tooth Settings. Hit the Start button and it should bring you to the BT activation where you turn it on. Have everything checked. Once this is done, start pairing the laptop by having it detect the PPC and set a passkey for protection. Once they are paired, launch ActiveSync in the PC and go to File and Connection Settings. Once in this screen pit a check mark on the Allow Serial... Set it to the new port set by your BT Stack.
Once this is done, on the PPC, hit Start and go to Programs select ActiveSync. Hit Tools and then Connect via Bluetooth. This should then start working.
One bug I did find is that once you connect your device to your charger and initialize the ActiveSync over BT everything will work well. BUt once you remove it from the power conenction, your device will soft reset.

ok i will try, thanks to all of you

Stupid Q. If you're using BT for Activesync, the PC will still act like a pass-thru internet gateway, right? And you can now surf the net via BT (the same way you do it with wifi)?
Thanks.

@MC_Oliver
The answer is yes. If you are doing ActiveSync over Bluetooth it is the same as ActiveSync with a cable. You should have the same icon on the top of your screen. You can even browsse the files in your PPC.

Thanks dre.
Btw, curious if you have the same problem as I do in this thread? Thanks again.

No, not at all. I cut my sentence short and it should have read; I have a stupid question. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

sync AS over BT

it´s imposible for me, because don´t find this service on pc, i do all the step, and nothing nothing nothing

Try this...
I've found that you'll have a better chance of getting "activesync over bluetooth" to work, to discover and pair from your PC, not from your phone.
Somewhere i've also read a comment who said you should pair both ways, but i don't think that's possible and needed, just from your pc.
much succes, Sander

thanks i will do

nothing

nothing nothing nothing i don´t discovered activesync service on pc

Activesync use a Bluetooth com port on my PC. try installing one of these after paring the devices.

after 3 hours nothing of nothing

3 hours is a long time to spend.
Ok - step by step, 10 minutes MAX!
1) On your computer, go into bluetooth settings. Check bluetooth is ON and set to discoverable. Add an incoming COM port, eg. COM5.
2) On ActiveSync on your computer, go into connection settings. Tick all the boxes. If the COM port is greyed out, untick it, close the settings box, go back in, now tick it and set the COM port to eg. COM5.
3) On the K Jam go into bluetooth settings, and remove the connection to your computer.
4) On your K Jam go into ActiveSync, click 'menu' > 'connect via bluetooth' then you should see a message saying 'cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?'
5) Click YES - you are taken to the Bluetooth settings screen.
6) Now click 'new partnership. As soon as you do this, the K Jam will search, and as long as your computer has bluetooth discoverable turned on, your computer will eventually be displayed. Check the computer name showing on the K Jam is the same as the name you gave the bluetooth profile on your computer.
7) On K Jam, click your computer name then NEXT.
8) Now enter a passcode - any four digit number (remember it) then next
9) When you do this, your computer will pop up with a message saying "a bluetooth device is requesting authorisation". Open this message and type in the code that you gave the K Jam. The next screen on the computer will tell you that it was successful - click FINISH.
10) Back on the K Jam, the screen will now be showing the services available. AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOWED STEP 1 and 2, ActiveSync will be an option, and you need to tick this and press FINISH on the K Jam.
11) Close bluetooth settings, now in ActiveSync screen click MENU > Connect via bluetooth. Your ActiveSync program on the computer should eventually pop up and connect.
NOW - if you failed at any point, say exactly where and what the problem is.

Ok, that means your computer's bluetooth isn't passing the connection through to ActiveSync. This is either because bluetooth serial port isn't set up properly, or ActiveSync isn't accepting serial port connections.
Describe *exactly* what you see in the computer's ActiveSync connection setting screen. And describe exactly what you see in in your bluetooth COM port settings screen.

Can you give better descriptions?!
Is your COM5 port in bluetooth settings an incoming or outgoing port?
Are you using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack or the Widcomm?
Have you tried just selecting the serial port when setting up activesync on the k jam?
Reboot your computer, soft reset your k jam, check settings in ActiveSync are correct and do the whole thing over again....

sorry and thanks for all

Set the incoming port to 8 on your computer, this made it work for me.

incoming port is same of local services port ?¿?
regards

When my pc looks for the incoming port its always at least port 21, sometimes ,up to 33. I've been told this is why it won't work because its far too high.

nothing of nothing ...

Are you using the latest version of Active Sync? -> 4.1?

activesync via bluetooth

Hi all,
I have a toshiba portege r200 and I'm simply not able to set up ActiveSync to work through bluetooth. The darn computer only sees my phone as a modem.
I have no clue how to do this.
I really cant' see why this has to be so hard. Both units are running stupid microsoft software. Whey the can't microsoft think that people migh want to connect their ppc's to their laptops via bt and just make it work easily?
Please, someone help.
thanks

I agree 100% that this should be easier. But I think ActiveSync is actually a service that the laptop offers, not the phone. So on the phone, go to your BT manager, select your laptop, and then select services. ActiveSync should be one of the choices. After that, you should be able to connect to ActiveSync via BT, but I think you need to initiate the connection from your phone.

Activesync via Bluetooth
1. Install Active sync
2. Connect phone to USB cable and computer and let active Sync run once.
3. Disconnect USB cable.
4. On your Computers Bluetooth software (add a com port) before you detect the phone (very important).
5. On Active Sync on Computer click "connection Settings" and make sure it is using your com port from step 4.
6. Turn on discovery on your computer.
7. On your Phone go to Bluetooth / devices / New and select your computer enter pin on phone and PC.
8. Go to Active Sync on your phone and click "Connect via Bluetooth."
Hope this helps.

thank you all for your input.
i tried everything you guys suggested and it's still not working. my comp only offers a serial connection. is that ok? it has this toshiba bluetooth software on it not the original windows kind.
when i choose connect via bluetooth on my ppc's activesync it sais there's no computer that supports bt.
any ideas?
thanks again

I have Toshiba Bluetooth control software as well. I am certain it's the incorrect or incomplete BT COM port setting on your PC. A few findings (on my notebook) to share, hope this helps.
1. I have a "Bluetooth Local COM" applet on Control Panel
2. By opening "Bluetooth Local COM" applet I have a list of PORTS
3. The CORRECT port I HAVE TO use IS
"COM7 Toshiba BT Port (COM7) LocalCOM-Server[SerialPort(TOSHIBA LOcalCOM)]
NOT
"COM6 Toshiba BT Port (COM6) LocalCOM-Client"
4. If you don't find the Server COM port, do "create a Bluetooth virtual COM port for a Server"
5. Of course enable by checking the "Connection Settings" "allows connections to one of the following COM#" (7 in my case)
After this, try the steps I suggested. Initiate BT Activesyn from your PDA phone.
Good luck.

Hi,
Thanks for all your effort.
I did what you said and it's still not working.
When I'm trying to connect from my phone via bluetooth it satill sais it cannot find existing blueooth partnership with a pc that supports activesync.
what am i doing wrong?
Thanks

Phat!! This works for me with my Acer laptop and Bluetooth connection, thanks man!

Sweet, took a few tries, but works like a charm.
Thanks

Bump
I just wanted to bump this to say thanks for posting the bit about using the LocalCOM-Server[SerialPort(TOSHIBA LOcalCOM)] port instead of the client port. Trying to get AS working using the Toshiba stack was driving me around the bend!

My pleasure
I've learned a lot from this wonderful board from a lot of wonderful people. Glad to be part of it!

You're the MAN
Thanks. This also worked for my Cingualr 8125. Many hours wasted. Glad I found this post. Thanks for your help.

this worked on my cingular 8125 as well, zsizsi i think you may have to delete all partnerships that were previously created with handheld on your pc and handheld. if that dosent work then in bluetooth settings go to options and under general tab check box "PAN networking service" that is just something i did while creating partnership not sure if it helps

The only thing that worked for me after 4 days of messing with it was to do a cold boot.
The first thing I did after the boot was to follow the instructions. Voila! ActiveSync magically appeared.

Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem with my qtek9100 and my IBM T43 Laptop.
I tried many times but....still not working!
As zsizsi if I try to make a relationship via PDA, it asks me the pairing key, and I'm blocked.
If I go through PC, I can do pairing, in the services I flag activesync, I configure the same com port that I have on AS (com 8) and when I0'm in the bluetooth wizard on the PDA, related to the PC I can only see 3 services:
hands free
remote connection
serial port
no activesync service to flag.
If I try then with the PDA Menu>BT connection it aswer that there is no relationship with PC supporting AS!!!!What the hell!
The only thing I see is that in my BT config in the local server the BT wizard creates a serial port named My activesync......
I have tried also your suggestion but.....

thank you soo much for that info...enabling the "PAN networking service" finally allowed me to connect with my toshiba qosmio laptop

If the devices are paired... You have to select a service for the pda BT connection
Only when you manage to select the servive Activesync (a comport has to be valid assingd) then a connectin can be astablished.
In active sync you must assign a com port.
See the manual in activesync BT

Yes, I can guess it.
The rpoblem is that the devices are paired, the activesync service is flagged in the PC (while I do the automatic pairing devices withn a wizard).
But I can't still see the service in my PDA.
I can only find:
Hands free
Serial port
remote connection
No activesync service on the PDA relation wizard...
Any other suggestion?

Another issue.
When I look in my BT services, I can't find an activesync service, but only an icon (com plug) called My activesync.
Look at the properties of this icon I can only flag automatic/manual and Secure/unsecure connection, and there is the window manu to select the com port (that is the same selected in Activesync settings).
Is that correct, or I should find a specific activesync icon (like PIM syncronizing ....)
Blinks....

How to Activesync using bluetooth?

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to sync my trinity with a laptop using bluetooth, but it seems imposible 'til now. Has anybody been able to?
It seems there's not pim service on the p3600, also creating a com connection doesn't work...
Any idea or howto???
Thanks in advance.

You'll need to set up your ActiveSync (AS) in your PC to point to the port which your Bluet is using. After that, use your phone to 'discover' your PC and you should have AS service for your Bt in PC.

You mean...
In Bluetooth configuration on the pc I have COM9 assigned to bluetooth Serial Port and COM8 for ActiveSync. So you say I have to set as incoming serial port COM8 in P3600??

Configure the AS to use COM9 (in your case).

Thanks
But still no luck, it seems to be connected but activesync says there's no device in that port, I'm afraid it's a compatibility problem between my laptop bluetooth drivers and P3600 ones.
Anyway thanks for your help, I'll keep on trying...

Probably you can init a sync from PC, but the one I tried is to initialize a sync from my PPC. Once you have AS to use serial of your BT, then while discovering services (or pairing) from you PPC, your PPC should show that there is AS service on the PC. Start your AS on your PPC and sync.

I had a bit of trouble but I've sorted it out now, this is what I did:
1. Uninstall any bundled software and drivers that came with your dongle.
2. Stick the dongle in, and let Windows automatically install the drivers.
3. Make your PC "discoverable" through the bluetooth control panel.
4. Create an incoming port, and take note of the port number
5. In ActiveSync on your PC, go to connection settings and enable a connection through that port.
5. On your phone, go to ActiveSync and select "connect via bluetooth"
6. It will say that you need to establish a partnership or something, press ok, and find your PC, when the services dialogue comes up, select "ActiveSync".
7. Try pressing connect via bluetooth again and it should work!

Hi
What kind of software are you using microsoft widcomm or bluesoleil.

Bluetooth: problem connecting to WinXP

My first post here. I have a T-Mobile Compact V and I want to network to my Thinkpad T61 via Bluetooth, using the phone's shared internet connection. I can do this via usb, but neither IBM Bluetooth nor MS Bluetooth allows me to do it. The MS Bluetooth does not even show any of the phone's services. I can pair laptop and phone - but that's all. Suggestions?

Hi Mike,
Just so I am clear, are you wanting to share the phone's Internet connection or use Activesync over Bluetooth?
I have a Thinkpad R61i and have both working now. Once paired you can see the PC or MDA BT services from the other. I'm able to use the other services too and now just realised I can play the podcasts on my MDA through the speakers on my PC.
I'm using Vista on the Thinkpad, I haven't tried it on XP or Win 7 yet.
Once paired you can go into 'Show Bluetooth Devices' from the BT icon. Then opening up the phone's properties shows the services you can use. (Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs).

PS found this after you mentioned it in a previous thread and had only just set it up last week.

Yes, that's how it should work - and it worked with my Fujitsu Loox N560 running WM5 and my old Nokia 6500. Not this device, though.
I think there are some problems in the Bluetooth on the phone. In my car, I use a Parrot hands-free. My phone can show up as one of two names, as if there is some identity conflict there. Also, on Windows 7, it shows up with a phone icon - not a computer icon. My friend has an iMate that correctly shows up as a computer.
I am quite familiar with sucking eggs, but now I am sitting in confusion sucking my thumb!

Success!!
After failing to do this with my original HTC Touch and struggling for several hours over the last two days I have finally cracked this.
I'm slightly ashamed to say that trying to do it intuitivly didn't work and nor did trial and error. Following the instructions in the Windows Help help section to the letter did and now it works perfectly.
1. Clear any previous attempts to pair your D2 and your lappy from the Advanced Bluetooth menu of the D2 and from the Devices tab of the Bluetooth Devices dialogue box on your lappy.
2. Clear any previous COM ports that you have created in the COM ports tab of the Bluetooth Devices dialogue box on your lappy.
3. Clear any mobile modems that have been created for your D2 in the Modems tab of the Phone and Modems dialogue box in the Control Panel.
4. Open up ActiveSync on your Lappy and open up the Help section. Go to 'Connecting a mobile device to a PC \ Connect to ActiveSync using Bluetooth. Follow the 3 steps exactly. The trick is to initiate the COM Ports before you try to establish a pairing. It also makes it easier if you have already set up your D2 in ActiveSync with the USB cable. I have pasted the help section below:
To set up a Bluetooth connection, do the following:
Open the Bluetooth Devices Control Panel.
On the Options tab, select Turn discovery on and Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer.
On the COM Ports tab, click Add.
Select Incoming (device initiates the connection) and click OK.
Note the number of the COM port that was added. The COM port number must be no higher than 20.
Click OK to close the Bluetooth Devices Control Panel.
In ActiveSync on the PC, on the File menu, click Connection Settings.
Select Allow connections to one of the following.
Choose the COM Port with the number you noted in Step 1 Set up a Bluetooth COM port.
Click OK.
In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu, then tap Connect via Bluetooth.
ActiveSync on your D2 will then say that you do not have a connection with a PC that supports ActiveSync and asks whether you would like to creat one now. Tap yes and complete the pairing between D2 and Lappy using the Devices tab of the Advanced section of the Bluetooth settings on your D2.
Once completed your D should begin to Sync.
Hope that works for you.

Yes, thanks. That has sorted out BT ActiveSync. I am still having problems with the BT networking, which is my main usage. I had always suspected that there were problems with COM port numbers always increasing. I have been searching for solutions but have resorted to hacking the laptop's registry.
