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.

I'd like to buy the Logitech diNovo bluetooth keyboard+mouse.
But I'd like to use it also with my MDA2.
Any experience, advice, tip?
I have a diNovo keyboard. So far I have not been able to get it to talk to my imate. I do not think a driver is available.

I've seen a beta version of driver for PalmOS.... That's why I'm still hoping...
i dont think there's an avaiable widcomm stack for PPC devices that support HID(for now)
Same tale here, I can't the DeNuovo to talk to the Xda II at all, not even ASync. Anyone managed to get AS to work?
HID Profile
Hi,
What do you need to develop a HID profile "driver" for Pocket PC?
Can anyone give me pointers to SDKs, DOCs, ... ?
Bye,
PHPat
:shock: I have the dinovo desktop for a long time. Even with old XDA2 rom I was sync through bluetooth beautifully without any problem.
You need to install the Tobais bluetooth tool first. with the new updated rom, I can also sync it with the add on bluetooth tool.
But then I had serious problem with latest bluetooth tool, so I uninstalled it, but I can still active sync with my pc through the dinovo Bluetooth.
Did you follow the instruction from o2 site? I followed that and it works flowlessly.
When you pair with pc successfully, you should see the activesync from ppc have the tab "connect to MYCP via bluetooth"
If not, u've done something wrong :?
Since my HD f__ked up completely, I cannot really tell you the exact step. But i remembering enable two com ports in the setting. Logitech only have one com enabled.
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.
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
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.
:wink:
ActiveSync Via Bluetooth with Troy Windport
Have tried all suggestiosn including http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html

Have w2k, ActiveSync 3.7.1 and TRoy Windport bluetooth PCMCIA card, XDA II with Latest 6.10.50 upgrade
Only option left is to change/upgrade operating system to XP which I do not want to do.
Anybody got a better idea?
Thanks

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?

On MDA-II I didnt change anything. I use the same drivers as provided within ROM 1.72.
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.

For future referance, i found this very usefull as a referance.

hi ppl
as the title suggests can someone please post some info on how to setup an ActiveSync connection from my PC to my xda mini via bluetooth?
the mini is running Win Pocket PC 2003
thanks
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449
thanks!
however i get to the :
"Select the Options button..." - in Microsoft ActiveSync.
But the "options" button is actually greyed out for me, so i cant get any further...any ideas?
if it's on the pocketpc then first you need to bond with the pc
if it's on the pc then you need to choose a com port which the bluetooth use as a valid com connection if the pda use vidomm bluetooth stack then the site also have a guide to set it up using that
My magician doesn't have a bluetooth configuration like that in figures.
Mine is MUCH MORE simple.
Looking at the figures it seems that the bluetooth stack on that pocket pc is the widcomm...
Anyone knows how to upgrade the bluetooth stack on my Magician?
..or better.. is there a way to use it with the current bluetooth implementation?
prob because you picked the wrong guide?

okay so here goes.
i have a S200 (Prophet)
ROM: RUU_Prophet_2151327_22113102_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101
Radio: 1_02.20.21
Protocol: 4.1.13.9
ExtROM: 2.21.13.102
i have been trying to get my Prophet to work with a bluetooth Pan network. The PC is setup to do it but the phone has no support for it or i just cant seem to get it working. can some one plz help to to solve this problem.
Thanks
as far as I know, the prophet does not support the bluetooth pan profile
http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_JAMIN.aspx
thanks for the info.
so is there no rom for the Prophet that supports the bluetooth pan profile?
or bluetooth driver updates or a another way it can be done it can be done?
i am also having problems using active sync with my bluetooth cant seem to get it right i am still reeding some of the posts here hope fully i can sort this out soon.
It is available in AKU3.2 ROMs and I use it successfully in my car PC.
PDAMobiz_Prophet_WM5AKU3.2_v3231.exe
is this the right one ?
That one and any of the 3.2 ROMs. But note that there are problems with these ROMs including the problem that the phone won't charge over USB (you have to use the main plug-in charger).
Good luck with it.
Tried one and the phone got stuck on the boot Screen just loaded the RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe againe and i will try the other one againe now. Hope i get this sorted out LOL with out making a brick out of my Prophet.
GR8 the update is installed and now lets see what works and what does not work ...

Hi, I checked it again last night. I am using the AKU3.3 now, and this works too. My Bluetooth adaptor is a Belkin USB model and I am using the latest Widcomm 5.xxx.xxx drivers.
I start by using the Internet Sharing program on the Prophet, select Bluetooth PAN, the correct GPRS profile (in my case Orange Internet) and connect. Then I connect the PC using Bluetooth to the Bluetooth LAN on the Prophet.
Hope you can get it to work for you, but it may be also dependent on using a suitable Bluetooth stack in Windows.
The Widcomm drivers don't seem to work with my blue tooth adapter. so i have to use BlueSolei, or the windows drivers. the other thing is i wanted my Prophet to use my home networks internet witch is exactly the opposite of what you did in the above post, what i learned is that your bluetooth drivers must support the hosting side of the connection. The Widcomm drivers do support it but i just cant get them to work with the bluetooth device i have.
it looks like i have to buy a new bluetooth adapter if i want to get it to work....
or see if i can get the Widcomm drivers to work with my adapter.
any other way i can do this ?
Hi. Could someone confirms that Bluesoleil drivers runs ok in S200? Thanks and regards.
