I cannot seem to get my 8125 to sync with windows mobile device center in Vista. I have tried both bluetooth and usb cable, and I have turned off Windows Firewall.
When I connected it via the cable, the only thing that installed and appeared my device manager was a Smartphone USB Sync under mobile devices. I have read other people are getting a windows mobile device under portable devices, among other things.
When I try connecting via bluetooth, Activesync just does not show up when I pair my phone and my computer as a service.
Are there drivers I can get from somewhere, or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!
You have to update the WMDC in vista inorder to sync. Had the same problem me self.. kinda crazy if u ask me eh...
I know it has been a long time but I have wmdc 6.1 and an 8125 with the most recent HTC cingular rom. How do I get bluetooth sync working? My activesync on my phone says that the service is not installed and I am kind of stuck there.
A ton of google searches have illicited no help. I figurd I would try here...
I am paired properly with the laptop as I am able to use the modem as DUN and get internet working with no problems. I cant seem to get the device center to recognize the phone for syncing my outlook with bluetooth.
Same boat
I am right there with you man. I have tried everything and still no joy. I am going to try and up date my bluetooth software and try it out. I'll let you know if it works for me.
I did it!!
Ok the key is to use the same Comm port in WMDC that the wizard uses. For example try to set up a bluetooth partnership with your PC via your wizard. When you see a popup on your desktop that you wizard is trying to connect make a not on which Comm port it is trying to use. (for me it was COM4.) from there go into your setting in WMDC and check the second box to allow the wizard to use differant ports. Select your port and click ok. You should be good to go. Let me know if that did or didn't work for you. Best of luck!
Hi,
I can't get sync over bluetooth to work with the WMDC in Vista.
First I established a partnership with the device using a USB cable. That worked!
Then I paired my toshiba laptop (internal bt radio) with the blueangel (ticked the ActiveSync service checkmark). That almost worked.. I entered the same passkey on both and then vista tried to add a driver for the blueangel, but never found the driver. Goes online, doesn't find it and prompts me for a CD. Does such a driver exist? I just end up with a nonfunctionning "Bluetooth Peripheral Device".
If I press on nevertheless and on the blueangel I "Connect via bluetooth" it authenticates and says "Connected", but on the laptop in WMDC it says "Connecting" for a while, then "Error".
Any help appreciated!
PS: Amazing job on getting WM6 out on this device!!

Just curious, do you have WMDC 6, or 6.1?
Wmdc 6.1.6965
works fine here with wmdc 6.1. Besure to tick to the box for activesync in bletooth profiles on your device when pairing the first time.
Canaan,
I did tick the box.. which BT stack and monitor are you using on the PC and on the device? Were you prompted to install drivers on vista at any point? Thanks!
No, i wasnt prompted to install any drivers.Never have,not even on xp pro/wm2003-2005. I'm running vista and broadcom stack. Check your in discovery mode and your com ports match on both device and desktop/laptop bluetooth settings.
Here is how it is done under vista
1.go to control panel, bluetooth devices and turn your BT discovery on
2.then turn your devices BT on and search for devices
3.after finding your pc pair it with your BA ( i use passkey 00000)
4.then the wizard will ask you which services you want to use from your pc, select activesync
5.then open activesync on BA and select from the menu "connect via bluetooth"
and thats all
requirements are that you have WMDC 6 or 6,1 with default connection options (by default BT sync is on)
Thanks for you reply. I guess I wasn't clear in my initial problem description.. the steps you outlined are exactly what I'm doing. However, when I get to step 4 and pair the device with the laptop, vista doesn't find the driver for the BA. It looks online for it and doesn't find it, so it prompts me. I don't know where that driver is and so I end up with a non-functionning "Bluetooth peripheral device" in the device manager.
I'm kind of suspecting the Toshiba proprietary bluetooth stack and monitor on the laptop at this point. I had no luck with the MS stack either. I guess I'll try to get the widcomm stack going on the laptop, sounds like it's the only one that works with the BA.
well connect your device to cradle or usb, then run windows update, it will find updates to the windows mobile device driver (here it done it twice) install it reboot and your device will be found
there is no service "activesync" after devices are paired
Hi Xplode,
I did your steps and my BA can find my pc via bluetooth...
However, when you said a list of services comes up, and choose "activesync"... it is not there...
the only 2 sevices I can choose are "wireless stereo" and "serial port".
Also, when I try my PC to find my BA, it says that "it cannot detect remote devices"
Am I doing something wrong here?
do you have WMDC installed and updates installed ?
go to your bluetooth settings of your laptop and delete the serial port created for your phone and delete your partnership. delete partnership from phone too,then re-pair them.You should see your laptop's bluetooth searching for services on your device.It should list dial-up networking,serial,handsfree and activesync.If this fails,i suggest your try and force-install widcomm/broadcom drivers.On www.parrot.fr they have instructions on how to install a microsoft bluetooth stack over the toshiba one's.the toshiba stack doesnt play nice with a lot of devices.
Xplode, yes I installed the updates... as I have read before, connect via usb and run windows update... I found 2 updates, installed them and reboot...
Maybe before I go on, jst a quick question:
is bluetooth activesync faster than usb activesync?
The point of my question would be.. I wouldnt want to go through all these hassles if at the end, bt connection is slower, cause for me it is just a nice add in function, not a requirement.....
Thanks and please answer this question for those who have done it...
Bluetooth activeync is a little slower than usb activesync but for me,its still more convenient than carrying the cradle or cable around.
USE this way.
After having connect your device once over USB to the WMDC in BT device manager in your PC add an incoming port i.e. COM3, now go to the Mobile device, turn on BT, open BT manager and in the setting under Com port tab add the same # COM port, if you can't find under COM scroll to BTS, it doesn't matter where the port number is located. Now go to WMDC click your Device icon go to Connection Setting and instead of leaving the default Bluetooth for others device scroll to the number of Com port you choose before COM3. Try to connect from device et..voila. I really would like to know why u have to guess always everything with Microsoft and paying and never being paid for my long night spent to solve their problems.
..I forgot for the further access you must start from BT manager on device --> acttyvesynch BT and click on your PC icon
to synch. If ever will not work maybe WM6 reset in your device actyvesynch to USB instead leaving BLUETOOTH, just change it.
Hope it helps somebody !
I ran into this same problem with the Toshiba BT stack on an ASUS notebook and an HTC Wizard (WM5). The solution was found in a Toshiba troubleshooting PDF.
From Control Panel, start the Bluetooth Local COM applet (installed by Toshiba BT), find the COM port labeled “LocalCOMServer[SerialPort(TOSHIBA LocalCOM)]”. Usually it's COM7.
After identifying the correct COM port, open WMDC, click “Connection Settings” under “Mobile Device Settings”, ensure "Allow Connections to one of the following:" is checked, then select the COM Port found above (again, usually COM7).
Proceed as usual and "ActiveSync" should appear instead of "Serial Port".
I'll continue the instructions for whoever might benefit:
With the computer's BT in discoverable mode, run ActiveSync on the mobile device, and tap [Menu][Connect via Bluetooth]. If there is no existing partnership, you'll be prompted to create one. Afterward (or otherwise), the computer will be checked for a running ActiveSync/WMDC process, and if all goes well, you'll see "ActiveSync" among the available services, which should obviously be checkmarked, followed by a tap on [Finish].
Now a BT link can be initiated from within ActiveSync on the mobile device, by tapping [Menu][Connect via Bluetooth] as above.
Hope this helps.
Hi All,
I'm sure this has been discussed 50 million times, but I can't find a good lead. I'm trying to sync my wizard to windows vista via bluetooth (it works via usb). I'm running WM6 (a cooked ROM of course), and my computer has all the necessary components for synching. The Windows Mobile Device Center is set to allow incoming bluetooth connections and the phone and computer can see each other. However, Windows Mobile Device Center (wow, it needs a better name) keeps saying not connected. Any ideas? Thank you!
same problem here
I am also struggling to connect/sync in Vista via Bluetooth dongle. I have defined I/O ports but my PPC disconnects as soon as connects/finds the designated port.
any help or comment would be appreciated.
cheers!

Since everything is in order, it's worth a try to disable your firewall.
In most cases that solves any probems.
Windows ActivSync is a little troublesome that way.
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.
;-)
