Active Sync over BT

Hi there,
i need some help with the topic mentioned above. I read a lot through this forum and the Internet but couldnt get any clue how to achieve it. I actually want to use MSN and ICQ via ActiveSync/BT
I have a German O² XDA mini with R1.12.00, G1337.42, D1.12.01GER (is there a way to update the ROM? This german document on the xda developer ftp isnt available). I am running XP Home with SP2 and use a MSI BT Stick.
It seems that the key uses tis BlueSolei Software from ITV from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18537
but i cant manage to get ActiveSnyc running... my XDA and Windows are pairing but i cant sync...
I am also too noobish to configure my COM Ports in the Pocket PC. They are always blank, so i cant choose any ports?!
When i sync with the ppc sync tool it says:
Connection cant be established. Check dfü & proxy settings and. Then Try again...
Thanks in Advance...
smurf

same Problem.
Can anyone help please ?

ok, i solved my problem. Dont know exactly how but i can post what i did...
First i deleted all COM ports in the Device Manager of windows (except COM1&2). I deinstalled my BT Stick and restarted Windows.
i then installed the bt stick again and then installed and deinstalled this bluesolei software for ppc about 10 times :evil:
after that everthing worked fine. AS over BT, MSN, ICQ, PAN and so on...
....

I tried to Install the PPC software on the magician but it installs only on the pc and not on the PPC,
where did you download the software for PPC ?

Theres an excellent guide for this over at Modaco in the smartphone forums somwehere.
The method is exactly the same, i did it on my MDA and it worked flawlessly! Just follow the procedure to the letter... even including restarts!

The thing is when I try to install the software on my ppc it's not really installed.
when the installation process is over it pops up the AS add/remove winow saying that the app would be downloaded next time I connect it (when it's connected already), so I disconnect and reconnect it

reply yes and then it just closes without installing anything on the PPC..

Finally got this this going !

Guys, you don't actually need the bluesoil stack to have messaging and internet over bluetooth. I have a guide here that will tell you everything you need to know about setting up active sync over bluetooth (which let's you access the net) including how to remove hidden com ports on your PC if your port number for active sync is above 9.

Can you view your computers files on your phone using AS

Activesync? How would you do it? Through file explorer or something?

I'm doing it by standard means of Windows.

Yeah, just enter your share's name on your device. The built in file explorer will do it, but I prefer Resco.

Can you not Active Sync via wifi then??
I have wifi but never tried it

I don't think so.
I don't know for sure as I don't use Activestink. (It will not run on my computer)

When I was using AS and the built in file explorer I didnt see an option to look in My Network? Do I need to configure anything? The furthest "Up" I could get to was My Device

I dont understand how to get to My Network? Anyone?

How do you connect to your networked PCs?
Hey how did you connect to your networked PC? I have Total Commander and have tried setting up the network neighborhood through that to no avail Can you access the network neighborhood via the built in file viewer?! If so how?
Thanks, Jess
BTW, Microsoft disabled ActiveSync via wifi in version 4 due to complaints of security, etc. Try 3.8 I believe that was the last version that supported sync over wifi. (Although I have not tried it)

Im not sure how to setup a network with my phone? Anyone know how to do this? Please?! Thanks!

Sorry to go on but... Anyone?
I think I need to set up a network on my computer so the phone can connect to it? Yes? No?

This works for me:
My Computer
Computer name: pchome
Create a folder on you PC for example "PocketPC" and share this folder!
PocketPC
Using TotalCommander in this example.
- Open TotalCommander
- Double click "\\" It should be above "Application Data".
- Double click "LAN"
- Double click "< new server >
- Enter "pchome" -> "OK"
- Press "OK" again
Now it should show pchome on your screen.
When you double click it it should show you your shared folders

Hmmm, that looks good I will have to try this when I get home.
To share a folder you just right click it and tick the share box or something dont you?

Correct

I cant get it to work ?
I followed all those steps... Hmmmmmmmmm, just coming up no files in the folder

I followed the same steps, even have other folders that are shared... still not working... hmm
Thanks, Jess

Windows 8 is awesome. However it doesn't have the ability to create ad-hoc networks from Network and sharing center. The only way is to use netsh utility from CMD every time you want to start or stop your network. .
So I created a batch file to automate this process. All you have to do is to start it as administrator, follow the instructions and voila!. No need to open cmd again and again
This utility creates an adhoc network. You can use it for streaming Videos and Music or playing LAN games.
For Internet sharing aka Hotspot
Go to Network and Sharing Center –> Change adapter settings
Right click on the device which is connected to internet and select Proerties
Now, open Sharing tab, enable Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection, and then choose the newly created ad-hoc connection from the list
PS. Was wondering if mods can change the topic to "Connec8 - Wifi hotspot utility for windows 8"
Thanks

Anyone tested this on Surface or any other tablet running Windows RT? Would like to know if it works. Thanks
Next update will include ability to save a profile for quick start hotspot without setup

Motoactv 2015 Questions

Info
+ Clean install of Windows 10
+ Motorola USB drivers installed
+ Installed the latest Motoactv firmware (MA 1.7.10 N8) and rooted
+ Installed TCX exporter since Motoactv site is unreliable/dying.
Boast
+ This device is still amazing. Its battery life on marathon mode actually lasted as I finished a marathon. There is no competitor out there that has 8GB storage for music, decent battery life and doesn't cost over $200, even the upcoming TomTom Spark.
Problems
- Motoactv doesn't charge when plugged into a wall charger. Will only charge using a USB port.
- Cannot make the device show up as a USB storage device so I can sync with Doubletwist
- Cannot sync with iTunes due to problems with Motocast, Nero/Motorola Media Link software
-- Despite updating to the latest Java 32 and 64 bit, I'm still greeted with this message:

}
Question
How can I enable usb storage on the fly without having to run the MotoACTV Root Tool and "stop adb and enable USB"?
Why does the Motoactv not charge when using a wall charger?

Bump.

adb shell am start -a com.android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS: Gives option on Actv screen to disable USB Debugging (turn off ADB permanently). Note, you can only access this option WITH ADB, so once you turn it off, you can only gain ADB back by reflashing the boot image (generally the 1.6.0 boot image).
Found this from: http://motoactv.wikispaces.com/useful_adb_fastboot_command
Worked great on my motoactv and my friends. If I remember correctly you want to make sure the screen not asleep on the motoactv when you run the command. Hope this helps! Still loving my motoactv.

Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M)

Hi All,
Apologies If I'm posting in the wrong place.
My partner has just purchased the Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M)
When it's connected to my Win 10 laptop by USB cable only the PC Suite is visible as a CD drive. The internal memory isn't visible for transferring music etc. I E-mailed support and was advised to carry out a factory reset. I have done this and it is still the same. How do I get rid of the CD drive and enable the internal memory to be visible ?

When its connected to your computer open up the cd drive that it mounts as and there should be some software available for you to install which will allow you to interact with the tablet with software that is meant specifically for it. You can also pull down the quick settings banner when the tablet is connected and you should see a notification saying the tablet is charging or that its connected to a pc, click that notification and you should have a few options to choose from. Charging, using to transfer photos, transfer media files MTP, Install software. Something along those lines.

Thanks for the reply.
The problem I had was the software I wanted to use (Calibre) worked outside the PC Suite software that it was trying to install. Thankfully after a firmware upgrade to Android 7.0 the problem went away, and I can now see the internal memory.
