Hello. I have an Audiovox SMT 5600 running wm6 from The Great Andot.
Two days ago, I bought a bluetooth usb dongle, but I can't see the PC from the phone. I also can't add COM ports (incoming or outgoing) on the phone.
When I try to "Connect via Bluetooth" from the phone's Activesync, it takes me to the "Add new device..." app, and when I search, nothing is found.
On windows I can see the phone, and I can even access the shared folder, but when I try to transfer a file, the connection is lost in the middle.
The chipset is a Broadcom 2035 (Device id 0A5C:2035)
I tried from a nokia phone and could add my pc perfectly from the phone.
Something a little disturbing is that the dongle's address is 00:00:00:00:00:00.
Has anyone had this problem? Tried to activesync with wm6 through bt?
I also tried with wm5 with no luck.
Is there any way to change the BT stack in the phone?
Thanks!!!
Mariano
I have a new htc tytn that I'm trying to hotsync with my notebook vaio, with a windows xp, but I don't get it. The computer dont recognize the device (it shows "not connected", despite the connection by a USB cable. I did all the recomendations of the guide book, but it did'nt work. Anyone have any idea?
find the usb to pc icon
find the usb to pc icon
it is either in settings/connections or in settings/system in most of the roms I have seen.
open it up and see if the box is check for advanced network functionality. If so, uncheck it. That has had to be changed for all Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 devices I have had, then activesync started working.
try active synch 4.5
You can also download ActiveSynch 4.5 if you have WM6/6.1.
hotsync is for palm based devices....
Hi - ever since I used Internet Sharing the other day every time i plug my HD into my computer Active Sync (AS) doesn't recognize it.
When i plug in the phone in I get the touch flo menu and it asks if i want to use AS but nothing happens when i choose this - I've even reinstalled AS and XP has recognised the phone but not AS- anyone else had this problem?
Had this a few times with my other PDAs. In most cases it couldn't get a DHCP address from activesync.
Try this: while its connected, locate your device in Windows device manager (should be "Windows Mobile-base Device ...") and delete it. This does not affect partnerships. Disconnect and reconnect it, and Windows should recognize a new device with proper connection.

Thanks for the advice however I can't find a Windows device in the Device Manager - i think you are on the right lines though - Windows is simply not recognising the device...
Would it perhaps be USB Mass Storage device?
Windows should recognize your phone, this is independent of activesync. If this does not work, activesync has no chance to connect to, and the reason must be somewhere else.
Check your USB ports. BTW you're not using a hub are you? If yes you should connect it directly to the PC. Check cables, and/or try another USB-device if you have one.
When you connect, you should be asked how the phone should represent to the pc, with options as activesync, harddisk, modem. Select activesync here. If you're not asked, check device settings in Start-settings-connections-usb2pc.
Have you tried blanking out the "enable advance network funcitonality" in USB to PC setting?
And - you are using the HTC supplied USB lead?
bog standard mini-USB cables don't cut it
How can we have an activesync connection via bluetooth? I tried "connect via bluetooth" option from device's activesync, but I always get the " Cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports Activsync. Would you like to set up a partenership now?" message and after the bluetooth settings screen appears in second tab with activate bluetooth. I create a partenership with PC several times, but never I got the activesync service.
I notice also that in activesync's connections option there is only USB and not Bluetooth selection.
If anyone succeed to make a bluetooth activesync connection, please describe how you managed it.
what OS do you use? vista?
it ist most likely a windows problem... I have the same problem using vista business! the upcoming SP2 should bring a solution to this because it's updating the windows bluetooth stack...
I' managed to connect finally. I tried with Windows XP and I have a bluesoleil bluetooth software. I searched for this in google and and I found a solution.
I didn't try in vista though.
Hi,
I've experienced a problem with Active Sync, not the same but it could be helpfull for you.
First of all, you need to switch on bluetooth on the two device as visible for others (on HTC and Windows).
Just click next... and everything will be installed automaticaly.
Where I've found an error, it's when I use active sync on my HTC it's says me that he can't find any device to connect to.
(I suppose you have the same problem)
First of all, go to device manager and configure the bluetooth device, unselect 'port com' or 'Active sync' on it.
Shutdown and restart your HTC.
Go back to Active sync on HTC, launch a bluetooth syncronisation, he will put again the same remarks 'Unable to synchronise'. Just click on select a device, go to your comuter and select the tabs synchronisation.
Tadam, it's working.
;-)
I recently had to replace my notebook, new one came with Vista, also coincided with purchase of Touch Pro 2.
my current kaiser (WM 6.0) works fine, connect usb, vista fires up mobile device center.
connect pro 2 (WM6.1) via usb , nothing, device center does not start up.
run active sync on the pro 2, Sync button is grayed out. I have set 'sync all pc's....' to usb in the connections screen.
have checked other threads but so far come up blank.
can anyone point me in the right direction to possible fixing this, I need to reload some software not to mention I would like to and would like to check out some of the roms on this sight.

Have you tried starting mobile device center manually? Also had some troubles now and then, reboot of my pc and softreset of my phone usually fixed my problems. Else most responses will probably include the usual: remove all partnerships and/or reinstall mobile device center.
Btw, does your device show up in your hardware list or under my computer when connect it to your USB port?
mobile devioce center (Vista) and htc pro 2
have tried pc reboots and htc reset, no go.
If i connect my kaiser it appears as a device under my computer and device center picks it up.
connect the pro 2, does not appear as a device under my computer and if device center running does not attempt a connect, if device center not running vista does not start it
also no partnerships currently set up.
did have a kaiser one , deleted this when the pro 2 did not connect

Well as far as I know Windows should at least show your device under My Computer, even without a partnership or without even having Mobile Device Center installed.
So my best guess is there is some conflict which prevents your TP2 from even connecting to your notebook. Have you tried connecting it to a desktop PC? Or are you trying to connect it through an USB hub or something? If so it is possible the hub isnt delivering enough power.
I had the same issue and ending up hard resetting my phone before I figure what I did wrong. Go to settings on TF3D then all settings. Go to connections, and under usb to pc, select active sync. If it says disk drive it will not work in active sync. Also if the enable faster data sync is checked...uncheck it. Sometimes this causes an issue.
Go to settings and choose USB->PC Settings. Here you can disable "fast synch". Now it should work, if not, activate "fast synch" ^^
YOu might want to re-instal active sync ( device center ), I had a simulair problem, and it was solved
gz reb3lzrr
rodium and vista sync
firstly thanks for the many replies.
still no go
reinstall device center
rebooted pc, reset phone.
tried with a xp laptop with active sync, still no go.
neither pc recognises the rodium phone.
when I attach my kaiser each pc 'chimes' , ie recognises the attachment and activesync or device center start up and connect
rodium nothing.
tried each of the usb ports and couple of cables, all work for kaiser non work for rodium.
Hi. I have had the same problems. Disable fast sync like my man neonoxDE said. That will help you. Altough it helped me. With Win7 you can sync with that option enabled.
(QUOTE: Go to settings and choose USB->PC Settings. Here you can disable "fast synch". Now it should work, if not, activate "fast synch" ^^)
thanks tried that as well, still no joy.
Its has if the phone is not telling the op system that its there. Ie the interupt to the op system that happens when a usb device is attached is not happening, or being ignored.
i had the same problem. i had to uncheck the box advanced network funtions. that wen you go in to settings and usb to phone.
that was the problem with my phone sync.
sorry for bad english.
Ugh
Just went through this all tonight. Also coming from a Kaiser (AT&T Tilt).
To get it functional, I had to:
1.) Add Remove Programs
2.) Remove Windows Mobile Device Center
3.) Remove Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update (if you installed it).
4.) Disconnect USB from phone.
5.) Reboot
6.) Reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 from CD (Sprint here).
7.) Install Windows Mobile Device Center Drvupdate. (WMDC dir on Sprint CD, called drvsomething or other, depending on if you're 64 bit or x86 on your PC).
8.) Then had to "Clear Storage" on the phone and let it clear itself (a simple reset did not let this work)
9.) Once soft reset was completed, I could connect the phone, it then found it, and worked correctly.
Yeesh.
Unchecking the box everyone is saying didn't have an effect for me, though I tried it many times before going all nuclear.
Thanks for this.
Tried this on my vista laptop still no go.
If I connect my kaiser 'installs device driver software' pop up displays and when this is finished windows mobile device center starts up.
Initial connection of pro2, nothing
After having the pro 2 connected for at least 45 mins I did get an an install device driver message, the device was unknown and device center did not start up.
so it appears that the pro2 was recognised has an unkown device
additional info
loaded down a usb moniter onto my laptop.
When I plug in the Kaiser usb monitor shows connection of the device on the specific port.
Unplug this and plug in the PRO2 onto the same port nothing shows as being connected.
rapidlycomming to the conclusion problem with the data pin outs on the USB, does anyone know of a diag program that could test this out or an easy way to check this.
save me the initial cost of checking by a repairer (which in the UK can be steep)
Although my TP2 will sync with USB, most of the time I sync via a bluetooth connection.
Have you tried doing it that way?
Maybe this will work.
One unconventional way to fix this, is to go to your phones activesync. select menu, then change it to bluetooth sync. After that, soft reset phone and connect via usb.
Windows Update
Try conducting a Windows update manually when your phone is connected via USB cable.
