Can someone explain this?
It would be appreciated!
Want to know that too!
I had the option to use use my HTC TyTN II as a modem, in the default Comm Manager.
Can we use the same Comm Manager from HTC? And thus get the opportunity to use X1 as a USB or Bluetooth modem?
It's built into the ROMs look for 'Internet Sharing' ... It's an application
Since it's a WM6.1 phone, I'm sure this has been covered many many times. Google it.
Guys, I am trying to connect via Bluetooth, not usb cable. Usb cable is trivial, you just connect the cable and hit internet connection. However, it isn't that easy with BT. Does my pc need any special BT software? How do you pair it and then what do you do to use the internet? I have ATT so do I need to create a modem? etc. Thanks.

you can use this one aswell.
not bluetooth but will do.
Hi
Many PC bluetooth implementations whether built-in or add-on will come with their own software. The bluetooth stack that was introduced for XP with SP2 will, generally not be as comprehensive as the bluetooth stack shipped with your bluetooth device.
Not all bluetooth devices come with their own bluetooth software, some rely on that which MS added to XP with XP SP2.
The X1 (like all WM5+ WM phones) supports Bluetooth PAN. There are several steps to perform before this will work.
1) On The X1 turn on bluetooth and make it discoverable.
2) On the X1, start up 'Internet sharing', select the internet connection, i.e: 'contract internet', and select bluetooth as the connection medium. Tap 'Connect'
3) Pair the X1 with the PC: On the PC, use your bluetooth software (or that which comes with XP) to search for a bluetooth device. Once its found, enter the same pass key on both ends (aaaa is fine, since its only a temporary key), and complete the paring process. You should then end up with a list of services that the device (the X1) offers. One of these should be 'Network Access' or 'Bluetooth PAN', choose this.
4) You should get a shortcut to the connection you just set up above in the bluetooth software on your PC, double clicking it should make it connect.
5) In future, to connect, you start up 'Internet Sharing' on the X1, select bluetooth as the connection method and 'Contract Internet' (or similar) as the connection, then hit connect. On the PC, you click the shortcut that you ended up with in (4).
6) I **don't use** the bluetooth support built into XP SP2, but rather the bluetooth stack supplied with my laptop. I have never tried to get bluetooth PAN working with the generic bluetooth support that shipped with XP(SP2) - i.e I am not 100% sure that the above will work with it.

Hi all,
Since upgrading to the recently released O2 ROM I can no longer get my activesync to work over bluetooth. I have reinstalled the bluetooth module on the PC and tried many many times to connect - without sucess.
Usually I just make sure of the following:
XDA2 paired with laptop (Dell D600).
ActiveSync BT profile installed and set to COM4 (in this case)
Activesync itself has COM4 in its settings.
Then usually, I go to activesync on the XDA2, hit sync over bluetooth and hey-presto! But since the upgrade I get nothing...no messages, no failure, no connection....just nothing.
Has anyone seen this and found a way out? I have trawled the forum but nothing seems to help.
Cheers - Rich
Hi,
It is very odd. I know and this happen to three XDA II devices in our office after the upgrade. If you experiencing the following.
1) Go the ActiveSync of XDA and select Tools and then Connect Via Bluetooth. Nothing happens. None of the usual dialog box saying "Opening Port".
This is how I got it working again for all three devices.
1) Uninstall the bluetooth application and driver from your PC and reboot.
2) Reistall the bluetooth application and driver.
3) From the XDA II.
a) Remove any previous pairing that you may have made before.
b) Go Start -> Settings -> System -> Bluetooth Settings
c) Click the "Start" Button
d) Select the Bonded Devices Tab
e) Select "New" and go through the pairing process.
4) Now the bluetooth via ActiveSync should work.
Note:. Check on bluetooth settings the comm port setting used and make sure that ActiveSync is using the same comm port. Also upgrade to the latest ActiveSync version 3.7.1 Build(4034).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Kueh.
Hi There.
I had this problem also.
All I did was go into ActiveSync on the PC and deleted the bonding between the two devices. (Its in the file menu somewhere). Then on the PPC, go to Start, Settings, System, Bluetooth Settings, then click on the ActiveSync setup and start a fresh.
Good luck, hope it all works.
Rob.
EXCELLENT!!
Many thanks - in my rush I had forgotten to tell it to start the bluetooth activesync setup as described in your mail.
Many thanks - R
I have a step-by-step guide to accessing the internet over bluetooth on my XDA II, but I dont have the program "Bluetooth Manager". Can somebody please tell me if I should have this already, or where I can get it from?
Thanks
Allan
it was a program that came with my bluetooth dongle
when i installed the cd that came with the usb dongle
i small blue icon with the bluetooth logo came up beside my clock
and when i click it bluetooth manager comes up
maybe it have a different name with your dongle or what ever way you have bluetooth in your pc
I am using toshiba's bluetooth stack as BT is built into the laptop. The guide shows bluetooth manager software on the pocket pc too. This is what I require (I think) to connect to the laptop.
Thanks
Allan
looks like you found a guide which is for the vidcmom stack and not the ms stack
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/tribal1.asp
i cant say i know anything about toshiba's bluetooth though
This still seems like BT software for my laptop. I want "bluetooth manager" or other BT software for my XDA II. If you have a look at section 7 of the following link: http://home.comcast.net/~spam-target/activesyncz.html
It shows "bluetooth manager" being used on the XDA.
Any ideas how to get this?
Thanks
Allan
allanmb,
That's 'WIDCOMM Bluetooth Manager' (section 7)
you can get & download in this forum. (try to search )
i wasn't lucky using that.
but you dont need the widcomm bluetooth stack to activesync over bluetooth and so access the internet by using activesync's pass network connection option
if you want the PAN network profile though you'll need to install the widcomm bluetooth stack
Hey guys,
I got it to work once. But I have no idea how to make my iMate Jam connect to my PC's bluetooth connection using the Wireless Modem application on my Jam. Eveytime I fiddle around with that software it ends up screwing with my radio signal and I lose the signal. Then I have to reboot the phone to make it work again. Does anyone have any instruction on how to work this program? This seems to be so much harder than my P900 which I just used the Dial-up Bluetooth Modem and had it dial *99#. By the way I'm using the standard Windows XP Bluetooth stack with my USB Bluetooth adapter. Please help.
i've the same problem... anyone as a solution?
bt modem tip
On my sx66, i noticed i was having a problem with my modem connection, I noticed it wouldnt let me connect if I had already initiated a gprs session, ie. syncronizing with my excahnge server or pop mail accounts or web browsing on the pda. If i soft booted then connected the dial up connection it worked fine. In some cases i have heard some peoples PC would drop the DUN setting after every sesssion with the PC's BT settings.

This is why it's worth following my blog - I've published a tutorial of this over a month ago. Please read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=510&more=1
Forget the wireless modem application, it's not necessary for this for me.
Go to your PC's bluetooth and open it up. Is et Widcomm? Pair the phone with the PC.
ok, on the PC click on the paired phone and click search for available services. SSA should come up.
Set up a dial up connection with phone no *99# any username, password for your provider and it should connect. PLEASE' Note, you must be DISCONNECTED from GPRS on the phone first to make a connection from your PC.
You may also have to put in an APN on the bluetooth modem in Windows XP, Control Panel, phones and Modem options, as supplied by your provider. First let us know if you get as for as finding SSA?
Surgy, ignore last post, I just saw yin said you are using MS Bluetooth stack.

You can also use the DUN from the MS BT stack too.
Your tutorial only covers the newer devices with WM5. I'm using an older i-Mate Jam/Magician and when I do a discovery with my Bluetooth adapter on my PC I only see OBEX File Transfer, Serial Port, and Voice Gateway. I still can't figure out a way to do it wirelessly. I have figured out how to do it via USB cable and the Wireless Modem program on the Pocket PC but it's only a 28.8 connection whereas usually I connect at 56K with my Sony Ericsson P900. Strange stuff. Well I'll be upgrading to a Jamin shortly so I hope this will resolve my problem.

OIC. Strange. Some (for example, Verizon) PPC PE devices are crippled in that they can't be used as BT modems.
If you can't see the DUN or SSA or Dial Up. it sounds like your Bluetooth has been modified on the imate jam/mini.
Did you install either the Blue Soleil Stack or the new BLUETOOTH STOCK from this forum?.. If so, then this is the problem. Standard default Bluetooth Stack should show it in discovery.
What make is your bluetooth dongle?

I did upgrade it to the new bluetooth stack. I guess it did more harm than good. Is there anyway to undo it or must I hard reset and install everything all over again? I have a Logitech Dinovo Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse combo.
Does someone know if AS over BT is possible?
How to connect (which BT-profiles are available) ?
Bennju
Install a Bluetooth client software on your PC (like IVT BlueSoleil), go to Options/Settings and for "Serial A" choose "COM port 5", then pair the devices up and soon AS should recognize the Universal.
WIDCOMM stack
install the WIDCOMM stack on you PC, have ActiveSync on your PC side accept connections through your respective Serial Port over Bluetooth Link under Connection Settings in ActiveSync. start a partnership on you PPC, and make sure ActiveSync shows up as a service in the list of available services. Test by starting a sync session from your PPC in ActiveSync.
Microsoft stack included in WinXP SP2 works as well, so you can skip the WIDCOMM install bit, but I like WIDCOMM more. has more fun features.
Where can I possibly get hold of the WIDCOMM stack?
WinXp's one is good enough.
Hey all,
using a Widcomm Bluetooth stack, I have problems pairing my device. The profile I need (Serial) is not shown, and when I click "Examine device for supported profiles" I get an error message that says there are no supported profiles in the device I want to pair with.
When I try to connect/pair, the only options I get are A2DP, Headset/Handsfree, PIM Sync, ActiveSync, OBEX, LAN connect, PAN connect and VCard.
There is no Serial profile shown - even though a Serial port is shown in the Bluetooth settings (COM 6 and 7).
I used to be able to pair without any trouble with my old device (using MS stack).
[edit] Just managed to connect to my GPS via serial port - BUT only through "Examine device" option. There still is no "Connect via Serial port" option to choose from, and the BT Manager still does not recognize any supported service in the other device I want to pair with (SE MBW-150).
What do I do?? Help is much appreciated.
