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.

Thanks to the last chap who told me to use activesync to view web pages using bluetooth.. the problem is "How" to get it to do that.. I have a little bluetooth dongle on the pc but they don't seem to talk to each other even though they are bonded.. and precisely how do i view an internet page using bluetooth
Do you tyhink it may be a bluetooth compatiblilty issue.. I've heard that maybe a different dongle and driver may do the trick?
The Idiot's guide would be much appreciated!!!

Hi,
I downloaded the Bluetooth application ("fix") from here:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
Then Bluetooth works perfectly with my 3com PCMCIA card in the laptop.
I now only do ActiveSync via Bluetooth with one exception - when I want to send music via Windows Media to the Imate I have to use the cradle or cable because the bluetooth appears to the laptop as a serial link and the Windows Media does not support serial devices.
I can also use internet on the Imate via ActiveSync and bluetooth - although generally I stick to the laptop for that !

Thanks but unfortunately the fix doesn't bring up a web page anymore.. what is it that your suggested fix is fixing? AArrghhh! Can someone please come to the house and sort it out!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again,
This bluetooth fix allows a simple connection from PC to Imate via ActiveSync and Bluetooth. It does not address internet issues.
Have you tried connecting the Imate/XDA2 to a PC with cable or cradle and then used Internet ?
It could be that your problem is not with Bluetooth - have you tried the Connection settings ? or, have you check the ActiveSync settings on the Imate.
Rgds, Dave
I probably understood your problem. You can't connect your Xda via ActiveSync via bluetooth.
First..assure the 2 Bluetooth devices are on discoverable mode.
Then go into your Pocket Pc START-Settings-System-Blueooth settings-tap to Bluetooth ActyveSync setup[start]
Select Discoverable mode and Tap in Bonded devices and NEW..
So..wait and Select your pc.
Then you will pair your pc with Pda.
Inserted the same code on 2 devices you probably can connect to ActiveSync via bluetooth.
Simply go in your Pocket pc,START-ActiveSync-Tools-Connect via bluetooth.
If this not help,try to set the right port on your PC ActiveSync-File-Connection Settings-COM1-2...etc..
Contact me if problems seems unsolved

Hello everyone,
I need some help wth this problem.
I have installed Windows Vista RC2 on my laptop.
I've got a Belkin Bluetooth Dongle V 2.0 with EDR it uses Widcomm drivers and I've managed yto find the latest driver that work on Vista Widcomm Version 5.1.0.2500.
I've have a problem with file transfer to and from my laptop.
Evertime I try It does not find my pda.
My pda is paired with my laptop.
The service that it finds are: 1 Dial-Up Networking, 2 Obex Object Push, 3 Voice Gateway this is what it shows WSter on my laptop.
On the pda instead it find this: 1 Headset, 2 Serial port, Dialup Networking, Wireless Stereo and that all.
Should it show as well the Obex Object Push on the pda??
I've got the tick in receive all beam file in the infrared menu.
The Bluetooth is alway on.
I tryed my pda as well on my sons desktop which has the same bluetooth and it send and receives file with no problem but that users Windows XP.
Am I missing something in Microsoft Vista.
On the Laptop I can syncronise with my pda with no problem via USB using WMDC.
Do I need to download something extra for the bluetooth to work fully.
Please can anybody advice me please.
Thank You

I seem to be missing the Wireless modem app. Supposed to be in the programs folder, right? Using vp3Gs WM6. I'm trying to use my 8525 as a bluetooth fax. I have been searching the threads and internet, all instructions point to this program, but I don't know why it is not on my phone. Also, when I discover available services on my phone from my laptop, Dial up networking does not show up, how come? Please help.
Edit: DUN and internet sharing now working, still working on BT fax
DUN
With WM6 you have Internet Sharing. DUN is no longer included.
If you hook up your laptop via the USB cable to the phone and run Internet Sharing you will be fully connected to the internet.
Good luck mate,
Andrew
OK, thanks for the help. Now what about using the phone as a bluetooth fax modem?

Well so it should on WM5 as well be but for some reason i can only use the internet sharing via bluetooth only when
1. launch internet sharing on Tytn and connect with Bluetooth PAN
2. Launch mobile internet explorer and navigate a page or 2 on the tytn.
3. launch bluetooth network connection onlaptop and connect.
4. restart IE or Firefox on laptop and cross your fingers,
it never has worked when doing via USB.
annoying because i run out of power often when using bluetooth for any legnth of time
BT Fax
If you do a search in the WM6 forum you will see a post about BT DUN on WM6. I got it working for my TomTom 910, BT Fax ought to be the same.
Edit:
go to the last post on the first page

Bluetooth fax?
OK, so far, so good.
I used the above links and got internet sharing and DUN to work over bluetooth. Any info on getting BT faxing to work. When I go to my laptops (Dell xps m1210) control panel, phones and modems, I see BT modem, and BT faxmodem, but when I query them under the diagnostics screen, it says the modem fails to respond.
Hi all,
Strange and mysterious problem here. I recently acquired a cheapo BT dongle using the ISSC chip (and running the Widcomm stack). I have paired the laptop with my TyTN, and for some wierd reason, I can't get Internet Sharing via BT to work. The Personal Area Network profile connects, but the TyTN seems to stop responding to the laptop after assigning the necessary DHCP settings to the laptop. I've also tried manually setting the server on the laptop to no avail. I've also tried the BlueSoleil stack to no success.
I have used Internet Sharing on my desktop and and it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to get this working?
I have a Vogue flashed with dcd 3.1.1 and I cannot pair a second bluetooth activesync. Basically it says the computer doesn't offer it as a service.
Since we had an extra device (8125 Stock) around we paired it up to the same laptop and found that it discovered the activesync service offered by the laptop. Although we found it discovered it as a "Pocket PC or Other PDA" where the XV6900 found it as a "phone or modem"
Between the two of us we have about 16 man hours into this ridiculous problem.
Is there any answer to how to get the Activesync service to be seen on the phone?
Funny thing is, this phone is already connected Via B/T on another laptop.
Which stack are you on? For me the Widcomm and toshiba bluetooth stack gave me the same problems as your having. I switched to the MS stack and now im connecting flawlessly for about a couple months now
MS Stack. But we've isolated it to the telephone.
hmm... weird...do you know if your usb driver is compatible with that stack? that might be an issue but I don't know because im not an expert :/
I don't think your phone can be paired to more than one computer at a time, so try unpairing from the other computer and and your phone delete the pair to your computer and delete your phone's pair on the computer, then try pairing from your handset first.
Lol, dunno if that makes a whole lot of sense x__x but doesn't hurt to try!
