Browse Internet by Bluetooth

I cant get into Internet via bluetooth connection after I upgrade ROM to v12.
does anybody have the same problems?

I can report that I didn't have problems, but setting it up was a pain in the ass.
Someone else has asked the question, and I wrote a walkthrough on how it was resolved...

Vijay, can you let me have this walkthrough?
Cheers
pvb

Yeah. I wanted it also.!!

Since vijay555 probably busy w/ his wedding, let me try to help here:
1. On the PC side, make sure "Allow connections to one of the following:" is checked on ActiveSync's connection setting, and the right Com number is selected. (I assumed it's done since U could connect before)
On yr PPC:
2. Start > Setting > System > Bluetooth Setting, check everything and click "start" on ActiveSync Bluetooth setting.
3. Step 2 should bring up the other bluetooth setting page, click device, and add yr PC as a new device.
4. After finish the adding, start ActiveSync on yr PPC, click "Tools" > use bluetooth connection.
5. If U could activesync w/ BT, then U should be able to browse internet too.

OR you could remove that crappy bt stack and replace with one of your own favorites
i use toshiba stack + widcomm on my pc, works like a charm....not able to bluejack anymore :'(

Bluetooth? Help

Hello,
On my I-Mate JAM I only seem to have one Bluetooth port available? Is this correct (see attached shots)?
Incidentally, I can't seem to get ActiveSync to work over BT anymore - I'm wondering whether it's related to this or not? ActiveSync with BT worked at first but ActiveSync will only work over USB now. :?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

you should define the com port on you Pc on local services under advaced configuraions on your bluetooth. Then use the sma port on your I-Mate

SMA port?

I've just tried the following:-
* Setup an incoming port on my PC
* In ActiveSync connection settings, selected that port as the serial cable port.
* Created a partnership using my I-Mate to find the PC.
I just keep getting the message below, even though it's setup on my PC. :?
Even if I try deleting the partnership and recreating it after this message I have no luck. :x
What could be wrong? Cheers!

Try this:
I forgot where I found it, but I make a copy on my pc.
To the author, forgive me to post here without your permission, but my intention is to help another.

1)On your PC go to the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth". In the "Options" tab, make sure all the ticks are on. You'll now see a little bluetooth icon on your system tray. Makes it easier to access in the future. Your PC should also be ready to be found as long as you ticked the fist box in the step above.
2)On your Jam, Go to Start, Settings, System (Tab), Bluetooth Settings. On the screen that comes up you ONLY want to hit start. Leave the incoming and outgoing checkboxes OFF!!!
3)You will now be taken to the partnership screen, where you just follow the instructions to add your PC. Follow through until you hit finish. Close everything down until you're back at the today screen.
4)Back to your PC, double click on the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Go to "Com Ports" (Tab) and click "Add". Choose incoming. A You'll see an incoming port added to the list (probably be the only item there). It should look like "COM X Incoming"
Remember what number is after COM. Close all windows, making sure you hit OK or Apply where you have to.
5)Open Active Sync on your PC. Hit File, Connection Settings. Enable the first tick, and select the COM port you had to remember in the previous step. Hit OK
6)Open Active Sync on your Jam. Choose Tools, Connect Via Bluetooth.

I hope above help!

Arto.

Thanks, Artosoft. That's got me so far. The device gets past the "User Authenticated" stage with ActiveSync opening on the PC, but the sync doesn't actually occur, it disconnects at that stage.
Any ideas? Thanks again.

ActiveSync every 5 minute

Hi, new to the form. This is a useful place!
Am with O2 Mini S, 1.5.70, AS 4.1, XP sp1, Oulook 2k3.
Does anyone notice AS runs every 5 minutes? I first tried the Add Server Source hack by WM5 Axim users, but didn't work. I couldn't find any registry entry that relates to the sync frequency.
Apart from suffering the unplug usb and wizzard freeze problem seen here. AS syncs every 5 minutes really annoys me. I need to rely on AS's tcp via bluetooth to use networking on the device and AS is heavy weight process.
So far, I have some solutions:
1. kill the wce* processes, which leaves the device connected (TCP stack still works, USB charges) but AS on the desktop says disconnected. Your wizzard's AS will still TRY to sync every 5 minutes, but it'll return quickly because the desktop ain't listening. But remember to double click AS on your desktop when you need to sync stuff again.
2. Replace the useless MS bluetooth stack with the widcomm stack taken from the Atom? Then use the PAN profile for connection. Disconnect PAN and run AS via bt from the device when needed. (But PAN on PC is not always possible as company laptops will almost certainly not allow internet connection sharing, never mind allowing you to have BT PAN enabled in the first place)
So afterall, does anyone know how to re-enable manual syncing? Some registry hack? AS 4.x is such a big step backward, I already have to disable firewall and VPN service from my company laptop when connecting, AS 3.8 was so much better when I was with an ipaq or SP3i. May be a sticky with enough post on it to get M$' to fix AS.

There are numerous threads relating to AS 4.1 and starting every x mins .... Please try to search next time....
Anyway, the simplest way is to create a dummy server entry in AS (On the mobile device) then when creating it uncheck all the "MAIL / NOTES / ..." entries in the advanced section. Once the Server has been created you can modify the server sync to set it to never.
For more info have a look through this forum for other threads on AS 4.1.

sorry if that has been talked about alot before, I suspected it. But I did a search before and couldn't find related stuff on this site, plenty of firewall/VPN stuff found which I also had a problem with...
The Add Server Source hack has been widely referenced in the dell Axim WM5 forums. As I mentioned, it didn't work for me, my ROM is very recent, as the phone is new for two weeks. I couldn't find any entry in the device registry that suggests it will run at any schedule! Although I can see peak time settings...etc but none of the scheduling options in registry.
Am really wondering if this is a problem with the specific ROM.

Yeah, I aplogise, am I bad, didn't read all your post....
Have you got any other apps that try to update regularly like Weather plugins etc?

I can agree with humps on that.
I've got a new k-jam and tried to stop AS4.1 from syncing when not connected to pc, by creating a fake server then through options setting it to manual sync.
No luck however as it still comes up in the list of running programs whenever i check :evil:

fix for constantly syncing when USB-connected
Sorry in advance if this isn't the right place for this.
I was so mad about Activesync 4.5 re-syncing during two out of every five minutes when connected via USB that I implemented a workaround that might prove useful to others as well. The result is that you can click an icon on your desktop computer and instantly change whether your handheld willl connect to its partnership for syncing or as a guest for doing other work (or just charging). Most of my data syncs wirelessly with an Exchange server anyway, and MightySync and PocketController function independent of the ActiveSync partnership. Ah, the peace ;-)
Here are the steps:
1. Change HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\GuestOnly to "1".
2. Export HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\[your device's partnership key] to a .reg file with name like "partnership.reg".
3. Create a batch file or script to stop WCESMGR, import the .reg file (regedit /s = silent) and restart WCESMGR. Name it like "partnership.bat".
4. Make a copy of the .reg file, edit it to *delete* the reg info (place a minus sign inside the beginning bracket of each key/subkey name), and name it like "guest.reg".
5 Create a new batch file or script to stop WCESMGR, import the guest.reg file and restart WCESMGR. Name it like "guest.bat".
6. When you execute "guest.bat," your device's partnership is deleted, and with the "GuestOnly" key enabled and no partnership found, ActiveSync will connect it as a guest without asking. After you execute "partnership.bat," ActiveSync will be ready to recognize your device on connection and sync.
7. Now, create a batch file or script that allows you to choose which .bat to execute, so you have one thing to click to go back and forth between connection types.
As will be obvious, I'm not a programmer AT ALL. I use pskill to clobber WCESMGR, and CHOICE.EXE copied form Server 2003 to choose connection type. It could be done more elegantly...but it sure works.
Only caveat: Later changing of syncing settings might require re-export of .reg key and recreate/edit of.reg-delete file.

Browsing device without activsync?

Is it possible to browse the device through USB without installing activsync?

You can download a small program called wm5torage. This enables you to connect your laptop to a pc as if it were a mass storage device. You can only browse whats on the memory card though, not system files.
If you want to browse through system files then Activesync is the only way i know of doing this. There may be a third party app somewhere, but you'd still have to install it so there's probably not much point..

I tried wm5torage some time ago (v1.6) and didn't work with my TyTN... it worked with my friend's wizard. Don't know if there's any newer version which works.... did you get it working on the Hermes?

Dont take time to try wm5torage on Hermes. I asked Seems there is no way to get it work.

ver 1.71 has been posted in this thread http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=238545&hl=wmstorage but the download page says the file is broken.

I run an FTP server on my TyTN. That way you can access and manage all files on your device via Activesync or a Wireless connection.
This one is basic, but free and does the job well:
http://www.freefloat.com/index.php?...=http://www.freefloat.com/p9614/p9614_swe.php
Make the FTP server point at the root of your device for full access to all files and folders.

i tried the ftp server, but it seems to be super slow to transfer files. I think it's faster using active sync to browse.

WM5storage doesn't work for me.

it should work when you disable advanced network functionality in: connections - USB to PC...
but when I disable that I get an error:
failed to disable RNDIS to use serial
even when I disable active sync to use USB when cradled.
any ideas?

Ah, but have you tried this?​
Goto: Start Menu > settings > Connections > USB to PC
Now, untick the box that says: "Enable advanced network functionality"
Now try reconnecting your Hermes! ​

Tried this, found it to be the best:

Works on wm5 haven't tried it on wm6 yet (will install it soon) it's not free but it's worth it to try out the demo and see for yourself.

Magician connected to the Internet through USB. How to share it through Bluetooth?

Hello, oh wise ones.
The deal is:
I have my pretty Magician connected to the internet through USB on my desktop.
All is fine.
Now, i'd like to connect my laptop via Bluetooth to my Magician and use it to connect to the Web.
Is this even possible? This would be nothing short of legendary and would be told in stories for future generations.
Thanks.

Come on... Someone must know something....

9.Back to your Pocket PC a message is displayed that your Pocket PC has connected with your computer, click “Done”, and click “OK”.
10.in ActiveSynce click Menu Choose “connect via Bluetooth”.

This is not really what I wanted, but thanks.

that is what you want, make sure the share internet box in activesync is enable and then you can use internet on your magician through your laptop.

Instal softick ppp it can create a internet connection for pda/palm/mobile phone via bluetooth, usb...

well, I know what you are talking about because I use it.
you mean to use your Magicain as a router IF you are using cotulla's rom
then it's possible all you have to is to look for the short cut in the programmes
"INTERNET SHARING" and there are two ways there either bluetooth or usb
if you are using 2OO3 se I can't remember what it looks like cuz I'm using WM6.1 of cotulla
