Can't get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth - please help.

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.

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.

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?

ActiveSync via Bluetooth Problem

Hi there people,
I know I saw a post earlier about this but it didn't help my problem so far. By the way, i'm using a bluetooth from Belkin (for my laptop) which uses Widcomm stack protocols. And I haven't tweaked my XDA II so its still using the default bluetooth stack.
My problem is this, about a week ago, I can syncronize using ActiveSync via the cradle and bluetooth.. everything has worked fine ever since I got the device (which is over a month or two).. But starting yesterday, I'm having problems connection to ActiveSync via bluetooth. All the display is saying is "Connecting to Host".
I've already tried, re-installing, un-installing both the bluetooth driver (on the laptop) and ActiveSync 3.7. But I've already wasted my whole day today but I still can't synchronize. Has anybody out there knows a solution other than hard-resetting the whole XDA II???
I hope somebody could help me on this.
Anyway, thanks in advance for those who can help me...

Thanks for the help but still did not work... I can connect via bluetooth... my xda2 and my laptop can authenticate each other... it's just the stupid activesync not working... arghhhh... i'm almost in the brink for resetting the whole d**m thing....
Now even using the cradle keeps getting Unresolved Items... time for backup and restore :evil:

some peoples problems with activesync is solved by removing the connection and letting it reconnect
also i believe there is a activesync 3.71

I'm having the same problem, however mine has never synced via bluetooth. I can get both the desktop and the phone to add each other to the bonded list, but can never get either one to see the other once I have gone through the process of adding them to the bonded list.

Bluetooth pan network setup help plz

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.

bluetooth problem wm6

i cannot sync via bluetooth......my laptop detects and its paired too...no incoming or outgoing ports are seen....i hve 2 BA both upgraded to WM6... working allright ....please somebody help

Well, you didn't exactly give much information.
What do you mean "no incoming or outgoing ports are seen"? What do you get when you go into activesync on the angel and tell it to connect via bluetooth?

you must have enabled on your PC BT dongle one incoming and one outgoing com port, also in activesync on your pc in connection settings you must check that activesync to accept connection on your incoming port. Then the sync over BT will be possible

bluetooth
thank you explode I have done it now

What settings do I need to fill up?
Hi anyone who can help me,

I have the same problem, just enable the beam in the connections manager, then enable the bluetooth as well , then set bluetooth to discoverable in the bluetooth settings then everything works fine.
It seems the beam must be enabled as well for some reason.
Would love to know if there is a more elegant solution though.

I can create only incoming port on PC. When I try to create the outcoming port, he try to find the device (BA) but don´t find it. Help....

well like my phone after updating it to wm6 6.1 i cant recieve anything shared on bluetooth, my phone is discoverable but nothing can send into it because it says it fails! can anyone help??

bluetooth problems

hi there
I have bluetooth problems!
works well enough to pair with my laptop
but will not allow connection via activesync
nor will pair with my headset
(have p3600 which will do both)
installed dr yar in case it would kickstart anything
but though it installs it does not start up
does anyone have any ideas?
I've tried altering settings in tweak HD but no luck
cheers
simon

Hi there,
What BT stack and what OS are you using on your notebook? Is it XP SP2/SP3 with default windows BT stack ? Check this thread for more details and report back! Also you might try installing Widcoom BT drivers, that will usually solve issues like yours...

hi sasovics
thanks for your reply
I would but my trinity connects flawlessly to my notebook
and the HD does not connect to my headset
so I don't think the problem is with the notebook drivers
cheers

so...
rted !
