My HD2 is paired with my pc and I can share internet and also send photos from my HS2 to my pc. However, I cannot upload photos to my HD2 though...
Its often a problem with bluetooth. (One of the most fickle protocols ever)
It could be one of a few things, the password used might be too long or complex for the devices to handle, sometimes it works best with a simple four digit, numerical only password.
You could also try reversing the host, say have the phone be visible instead of the PC and ask the computer to connect to it or vice-versa.
Fixed it!
I had to mess with the advanced settings...it seems the HD2 is set by default to not accept incoming files.

Hi all.
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact, which I flashed with a big storage ROM I got from the FTP site (1.13.00 WWE). My device works fine, other than one thing.
I cannot establish an ActiveSync connection using Bluetooth. When I try to set up the connection on my device, when it comes to choosing which port I will use for the connection, there are none to choose from, and I am unable to complete the operation.
I can connect to other devices for file transfer Ok, and I don;t have any problems using a Bluetooth headset.
Does anyone know if there is an entry I can add to the registry to add a port manually, or if there is another way I can add a port?
Thanks.
Bump - can anyone help?
Thanks guys.
First of all pair your PC.
Then go to settings-tab system-Bluetooth settings and make sure you open your autbound COM port by clicking the checkox.
Press the button "start"
Goor luck!
Bruins3 - done what you said, but no joy. It tells me to then pair with my PC, even though it already is. Strangely, I can pair with my Magician from my PC, but not vice versa.
Once the two are paired, when I go to the COM ports tab in Bluetooth settings, I simply cannot add a port of any kind - no ports are listed in the drop-down box for me to select.
Help?

Forget it, Dont sync your magician using Bluetooth.
Its a big waste of time.
Ive spent the last hour trying to get this to work, and it just annoying me.
I have made my Magician sync with my computer over bluetooth before, Using 'Bluesoleil'. It's some sort of stack/ program, and for some reason my Bluesoleil doesent work anymore.
But someone made a thread about it, very detailed, and i cant find it anymore. Try experiment, and id be glad to know if you can get it to work properly.
whitemoo.
My Trinity has VoIP available but nonetheless - as far as VoIP is concerned - I would like to just use it as a USB phone connected to my PC. It connects through USB so is it possible to use it as a VoIP handset?
I have already searched a bit on this topic, and have found that just using the ActiveSync connection won't do the trick since one cannot access the mic/speaker through USB, only data transfer as files or sync...
But I know of other client/server programs that do some telnet stuff over the connection, in order to transfer keystrokes, mouse and screen data. Would something similar be possible for what I have in mind? I just hope that the overhead or lag would not be too much. And I know for sure that other people would also like this feature
Anyone willing to give it a go, or know of an alternative?
Hello Everybody,
I have got my HTC Wizard damaged. Actually till last night it was working fine, but now when I plug it into the USB, windows says that the USB device has malfunctioned etc. I search Google and everybody said that they tried hard-reset too with no luck.
So then I started searching Google to see if I could find a wi-fi USB dongle. I do have a Bluetooth dongle but since Wizard has got Bluetooth 1.1 (I guess!) so the transfer rate does not accede 15 Kbps. This is something annoying.
Now, my main question is, that if I order a Wi-Fi dongle, will I be able to transfer files from my PC into my HTC Wizard without any intermediate router or any other network or something? A Wifi dongle is cheap, $9.9 on Google Products. But a router isn't, its at least $250 or so.
Also, if somebody has some experience with this, please do post back the speeds at which you think the data will be transfered. I am only looking for an alternate to USB. If a Wi-Fi dongle could work, it would be great! I already hate wires. I love wireless stuff.
People with experience of trying this please write down any more details that you might have. What's the maximum range of a Wi-Fi network (usually).
Thanks in advance.
I'll be waiting for your replies. Please do post back.
Can o' worms...
You'll be hard pressed to get a response. I bought a Wfib router for $12 on ebay six months ago. Most of the developers here have wfi cards in their PCs, so using a usb port is kind of a waste/pretty antiquated.
Yes, you could connect with the wizard's wifi to your PC, and transfer files with Total Commander (all over the forum & google-able), but I'm guessing no one wants to try to tackle steering someone who can't/hasn't googled a decently priced router, or feels the need to use usb for wifi. You'd have to set up a windows network, too. Wifi, if you haven't used it, is a whole new can of worms. All the info you need is out there, but you'll have to find it.
My suggestion is to dust out your ppcs usb port gently with a soft, new toothbrush, uninstall ActiveSync on your PC, reboot & reinstall, reboot, and use a different usb port on your pc. If that doesn't work, I bet you could send it in to get repaired for about $40.
Actually, I do have some knowledge of computers and can usually fight back in situations that are confusing. I am not a Pocket PC/Windows CE programmer, but I know Visual C++ etc and many other languages.
I was just wanting to know if there could be an intermediate device that could be needed that's why I posted the question. And thank you very much for the response. It was very kind of you.
I have two more questions now:
1) If wifi is like LAN, then why would we need total commander to browser files? Can't there be a way to browse files like we do usually on LAN? I mean as far as I understand, total commander would perhaps only 'share' the files over lan? Correct?
2) At what speeds can we transfer data over wifi? And what is the usual range (in meters) of Wifi data transfer?
Thanks in Advance.

Have you tried another USB port? Or another cable?
An unstable USB hub gave me similair problems.
Wifi *is* wireless LAN.
Wifi equipment (cards, adapters, routers) are just a replacement for the ethernet cables etc., with a few software security measures so people don't "tap in" without an invitation.
There are a million different apps that browse files. Not too many apps do sharing without browsing anymore, so I've started using sharing to mean both (sharing + browsing). TC is free, it has a (wifi/LAN) network function under "extras," (aka "//") has a txt editor and as many other extras you would want in browser. I'm not sure what you mean by "the usual way." The built in File Explorer? I don't know, and don't care, if the WM6 browser has a network plugin, I have never used it (nor Resco or any of the others) since I found TC.
You should be able to connect directly from your Wizard to your PC's wifi if you can set up a TCPIP network and assign them (the wireless part only) IP addresses. You'll want to set up your PC to act as your router by allowing the PCs internet connection to be shared. (Internet in via wire, wireless out & back to the rest of your network, incuding devices.)
I've never tried it without a router, though, but it worked fine with the LynkSys one I got on ebay for $12.
The new/different cable is a good idea.
Forgive me, but this thread, if I kept answering questions, could eat a lot of my time. If you're still stuck on the Wifi thing, there are too many great sites explaining how it works.
I currently have three devices (Diamond, Kaiser, Wizard) I all want to sync with my PC (XP, through ActiveSync). I have searched around a bit, but was unable to find a solution for it. I also have them all hooked up through USB to my PC whenever I'm near it (they all have their own cable, charging etc).
After a lot of mucking about, I figured out how to have them all connected to the PC at the same time (without those pesky conflicts) and how to easily switch ActiveSync between them (it still wont sync them all at the same time). Currently I do this all manually but I know how to automate it.
The question is, is there any interest for an application like this? (Or if it already exists, please direct me to it, as I couldn't find it) I'm probably not going to spend the time to do this just for myself, but if there's a bunch of people who want this, I might find some hours here and there to make it into an app. No guarantees as to when, though
So err, post if you want, or not, or...
i'm very very interested by an application like the one you described
thanks to you
i am interested in how to switch easily manually..^^
do have some problems with that from time to time..(two wizards)
(for sure i would be interested in this app too)
in windows vista it supports sync to multiple devices at once. for the files part that is. i didnt check the contacts&outlook sync.
windows mobile device center ( the first edition ver. 6.0) should work on xp. the later versions only work on vista.
Not looking for multiple contact, email sync so don't worry there.
I have an Alpine that lives in an attached cradle and is used to check email accounts via activesync, the SIM has no data plan so it has to be this way, so all i would want from this is a way to turn off ActiveSync when i attach my Trinity, which is fully sync'd with Outlook.
I also have a Himalaya which is used as a test bed and so it would be nice if i could switch to it for file transfer without taking the Alpine from it's cradle.
I for sure am interested in an automated solution to this. I am tired of having my regular phone sitting in its cradle and then plugging in a test device and having it not connect because AS is already synced and online with the cradled device.
im also intrested, got a wizard and a kaiser too
Well, been a long time but finally decided to do something with it. Currently in beta:

I am trying to determine if you can send/receive files over bluetooth, between a Magic and a netbook running Ubuntu (9.10 specifically). Bluetooth works on both devices with my headset. Both devices can see eachother during discovery. Other than dealing with that absurdly short pairing timeout and the lovely 6 digit PIN I can get to the "Paired but not connected" state.
However all attempts to send or receive files, initialed from either side fail.
Does anyone have bluetooth file transfers working between the phone and a computer running Ubuntu (both directions), and if so how (what setup, what app, etc)?
I like ubuntu,too.
why don't try wi-fi.
I use the "FTPServer"(app download market). Send file to my G2 almost 1M/s
gtalk to me,talk about Ubuntu .
I notice that I cna't get bluetooth to conenct with my ubuntu netbook.
wifi tether won't obtain Ip address either.
Wifi works fine. It is somewhat the principle of the mattter, and somewhat if I am already using bluetooth to pair with my headset, why run another power draining radio to push or pull a small file to/from my netbook.
I have wifi FTP working. Also have Wifi Tether and use it all the time. I guess I am greedy... want bluetooth as well. It should be possible once I sort out what the issue is.
Status update
After installing gnome-user-share and allowing Personal File Sharing->Share Files over Bluetooth, and unpairing and repairing the handset yet again I now can push files from the netbook and the phone. I cannot browser either device remotely and pull files though.
So it is half working. Does anyone have both push and pull working?
