Hey all,
I am having an interesting and odd problem with the Wizard and three bluetooth-enabled computers.
The three computers are as following:
My IBM ThinkPad T60
My dad's IBM ThinkPad T40P
My Custom built CarPC with bluetooth.
The T60 will see my phone, communicate with it and create COM ports for Virtual communications.
My Dad's T40P will see the phone - but will NOT see COM ports; same with my CarPC.
My friends Samsung phone and my CarPC will communicate and can see each others COM ports.... what the hell is going on? I am using the stock BT drivers on my T60 that came with it, and Widcomm drivers on both the CarPC and my dad's laptop...
Ah well I figured it out - had to set up PAN and it works fine

I got a bluetooth dongle from ebay, but I can't use it with my 8125 because it doesn't use either of the com ports that the 8125 uses, and you can not set it to do so. The bluetooth software is BlueSoleil.
Do any of you have bluetooth dongles that you have working with your wizard? What are they?
PC BT software must support serial ports, Active sync must be enabled to use serial ports.
You will need to re-pair the devices to detect 'Active Sync' as the service on the 8125.
I'm using the AirNet ABT101 dongle--works like a champ. Cost me $20 bucks with a $15 rebate...can't beat it
I'm using a simple BT dongle and the BlueSoleil software. Works perfect.
Am using a D-Link dongle...actually, if u get ur BT drivers in Windows working correctly, you won't even need blue soleil...

There is nothing I hate more then Windows drivers
For everything, Lan, Wifi, Graphics, Sound Card I always use drivers from the manufacturer.
Windows BT drivers are pathetic
I have two airnet dongles. Something like 101 and 201, but I can't identify any functional difference. The price was great; $15 rebates on both bringing my delivered cost to $3 to $4 each. But the airnets come with this monster of a program that I don't want on my PC, and the windows XP drivers have the problem that every time the PC goes to sleep, they can't re-establish a connection. Oddly, the drivers on the MDA are fine -- the MDA can be turned off then on and reconnect fine, but the XP drivers, at least on my IBM X31s usng the USB dongle, require at a minimum a re-insertion and usually shut the PC off and on.
Overall, this was *way* too much trouble and I sync with a cable which has worked reliably for me, even through a D-Link USB hub. (That way I only need one USB cable connected to the laptop.)
Just got my XDA Mini S today, my first ever PDA-type device. I'm trying desparately to get Active Sync up and running over Bluetooth, but having no luck at all.
I've got an MSI BT dongle and ActiveSync 4.2.
I can't get them to tie up with each other over BT serial port (the COM numbers don't match, my XDA will only let me add COMs 6 or 7, my PC BT device only 3 or 4)
Hey all,
I have some generic BT dongle for my computer that I bought a year or so ago to use with my old HTC Typhoon. The dongle allowed my phone at the time to ActiveSync over BT using the BluSoleil software that came with the dongle. However, with the HTC Wizard (MDA vario body with the AKU 3.3), I cannot for the life of me sync over BT. I have no idea what I need to set up and every time I try and do a new "partnership" in the phone for syncing over BT - i select my computer in the devices, yet nothing happens. I cannot establish any COM port communication with the computer and the only type of services that i can push are the vCard from the computer and a "personal area network"...
HOWEVER, if I take my Wizard and connect it to my Thinkpad T60 laptop that has native BT; I can sync to my hearts content... so... someone please give me a clue as to wtf I am supposed to do here to get this to work over BT
Thanks!!!
Anyone? Plweeze?
C'mon, someone must have an idea!
Gave up
I had the same dongle, or at least mine also came with Blue Soleil. I hated that software - it runs a dozen different programs that clog the computer and still doesn't connect properly. I took it off and tried the native MS XP software. It would work once, but when I put the PC to sleep I would have to reboot to get it to connect again. I finally realized that it was much easier to use a cable and gave up. I'll try again when I get a PC with built-in bluetooth.

Where did you get the native XP software? I could never find the native software
Plug and Play
If you don't install software, XP will operate it.
I'm trying to use my WM6 Black 8525 as either Bluetooth or USB modem. Cannot connect to my Thinkpad T60 laptop built-in Bluetooth as it only has Active Sync Bluetooth Service nor my Vista finds any devices that support PAN.
Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance!
in vista do not try to get the modem over bluetooth working as pan. Do it as a dial up connection from the settings in internet explorer. On my hp I just partnered the bluetooth then went to add connection in ie. i found it with no trouble. I think it must be very dependant on the bluetooth stack on your pc. On my hp there is a process running called BTStackServer.exe that is doing it. On my dell this is not the case and it just will not work. In that case I use the wireless modem program built into the phone with a usb cable. following the instructions in help gets it to work fine.
I have also used the usb method on two xp desktops so it works just about everywhere.
With the pan, i think the problem with windows mobile devices is that they are acting in the same direction as a pc would. They are looking for a device, not acting as one. I bought a bluetooth dongle for one of my xp machines and installed the bluesolie software (stack?) and both ends showed the other as a pan device but both ends just waited for the other to expose their functionality until they timed out. i tried it with a hermes and a trinity.
I've done the usual search and didn't see this issue. I had an Axim x30 for about 3 years, and WM2003 sp2 sure had a more straightforward and reliable Bluetooth facility.
I've got Bluetooth on my Velocity Micro laptop, and I'm trying to get the my Mogul and the laptop to play nice.
The Mogul sees the laptop, gives me the available services (Wireless Stereo and Serial Port) and lets me handshake with a PIN.
The driver on the laptop side is Toshiba's Bluetooth Stack v4.00.38. BT spec 2.0, 1.2, 1.1.
It looks like it should connect. But when I try to connect I get a small popup with the title:
Bluetooth PAN Client
The text inside the window:
! Connection from (...) has been denied.
[OK]
On the laptop side "Pan Networking Service" is unchecked in the options.
So that makes no sense.
Since the hardware is built into the laptop, I'm not even sure what hardware it is.
It worked once. Then I had to reboot, and it ceased to function. I'm looking for any clues, links, things I haven't tried by trying everything, and every combination of options.
I'm not sure how to set the Com Ports setting or Security on the Mogul side.
I'm also using the original ROM on the Mogul.
I really hate being a total noob.

I would like to know the answer as well
I have the same problem.
