I am trying to connect my rooted CDMA Hero (Fresh ROM v1.0) with Win7 over bluetooth, and I just can't get it to work. The Hero will "pair" but remain "not connected" and Win7 the "HERO200" will show up as a bluetooth device but be greyed-out with nothing listed under the bluetooth Services and Hardware.
I am trying to get this setup to tether using Bluetooth PAN, but until I get this sorted out, I don;'t think I can move ahead with that (tether over WiFi works great).
Thanks,
Aaron
I have the same issue with the PS3 keyboard with a mini bluetooth dongle... Only issue I see Win7 having.

I've managed through pain and misery to get Activesync to work through bluetooth (not easy with widcomm stacks as drivers).
When my PC boots up, Activesync (PC) will complain that the bluetooth COM port isn't connected (obviously because my phone isn't connected through bluetooth 24/7)
So everytime I reboot my PC, I have to re-check the COM port connection in the connection options (PC) to make Activesync listen to my bluetooth COM.
Any suggestions?
Also, I know that when my phone is connected via USB, my phone will gain access to the internet (My PC has the internet connection and shares it to the phone). With bluetooth I havent been able to get this to work. Yet both USB & bluetooth work through Activesync. Is there something Im missing?
Thnx! I hope this isn't too specific/complicated like question
I used to have some of the same problems. What I found that usually it was 2 things causing it.
1. Activesync - Installation or Configuration
2. BT Software - Installation, Configuration or Need BT Software upgrade
What fixed my issue was 2 fold: activesync settings & needed to upgrade my dongle's software.
Activesync: When I installed 4.5 it setup a network connection that kept running in. And when I started up my PC I could see the icon running in my sys-tray (and would have troubles on and off again either with bluetooth / USB sync. What I found that worked for activesync was uninstall and make sure you check off allow wireless activesync connection. I've also found it likes to use com 3 for BT activesync.
BT Dongle: I have Motorola PC850 dongle and found that there was a great new BT Stack update that would hold the settings even if I turned my PC off for weeks at a time or removed the dongle to somewhere else. Plus it fixed the issue I had with using my BT stereo headset, to listen to music with out pops and skips. Oh In your BT settings make sure that com 3 or what ever your using is the same as activesync
Hope I can test those few tweaks.
However, after connecting my phone to activesync by USB, now my phone won't even connect by bluetooth to my PC anymore.
STUPID STUPID bluetooth stacks
I'm trying to use my WM6 Black 8525 as either Bluetooth or USB modem. Cannot connect to my Thinkpad T60 laptop built-in Bluetooth as it only has Active Sync Bluetooth Service nor my Vista finds any devices that support PAN.
Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance!
in vista do not try to get the modem over bluetooth working as pan. Do it as a dial up connection from the settings in internet explorer. On my hp I just partnered the bluetooth then went to add connection in ie. i found it with no trouble. I think it must be very dependant on the bluetooth stack on your pc. On my hp there is a process running called BTStackServer.exe that is doing it. On my dell this is not the case and it just will not work. In that case I use the wireless modem program built into the phone with a usb cable. following the instructions in help gets it to work fine.
I have also used the usb method on two xp desktops so it works just about everywhere.
With the pan, i think the problem with windows mobile devices is that they are acting in the same direction as a pc would. They are looking for a device, not acting as one. I bought a bluetooth dongle for one of my xp machines and installed the bluesolie software (stack?) and both ends showed the other as a pan device but both ends just waited for the other to expose their functionality until they timed out. i tried it with a hermes and a trinity.
Ive tried and tried wmodem and pdanet but they no longer work for me tethering between my mac and my mogul via bluetooth with the new htc 3.35 rom. When I click unable bluetooth DUN on pdanet it says "unable to assign com port please make sure com7 or com4 is available on your device. bluetooth dun will remain off (err=2404)".
can someone help?
thanks
Juts a guess but the new radio assigns Com4 to the GPS which may be why PDANet has an issue.
My guess is PDANet will have to be updated to be a bit more flexible on which com port it wants.
PDAnet was working for me...

I did have it working without any mods. Then, it quit working. In my case, I had installed ICS, which I never did get working. Then, PDAnet stopped working. I tried removing/reinstallong (after uninstallling ICS), to no avail. I may just reflash the phone to get it all back to original components, and try PDAnet again.
I have the same issue with the new ROM and the "USB modem" program from www.mobile-stream.com. When I set it to "Connection: Bluetooth" and click "Enable" it doesn't turn on.

It's easy enough to move the internal GPS to COM5, and the GPS works fine that way. So that will free up COM4 for PDANet. Unfortunately, it still won't make Bluetooth DUN work. The only way that I've been able to tether is through a wired PDANet connection. That works fine.
Gil - You using XP, Vista or something else?
I noticed that on Vista you can not get BTDUN (even on the stock roms) unless you were operating under an administrator account or stopped the BT tools in Vista and ran them under the administrator account.
For that reason I have always tethered via USB and skipped trying to do it via BT...though BT would be much cooler...

I'm on XP. DUN over BT worked fine using PDANet on the old ROM. But on the new ROM it doesn't work at all.
The wired connection is faster anyway, so I'd always prefer that. But sometimes it's handy to be able to do it wirelessly.
I finally got BT DUN working with the USB Modem app from www.mobile-stream.com. I changed the Mogul GPS port to COM3 but BT DUN still didn't work. I had to remove the BT pairing with the phone from the computer, then enable BT DUN from the USB Modem app THEN re-pair with the phone with the app running. This time it detected the dial-up BT service on the phone and after I completed the pairing, I was able to dial #777 normally.
Also the speed was much faster than the speed with ICS BT PAN. I was getting ~500kbps with BT PAN and I'm getting 1100kbps+ with BT DUN.
Hi all,
Strange and mysterious problem here. I recently acquired a cheapo BT dongle using the ISSC chip (and running the Widcomm stack). I have paired the laptop with my TyTN, and for some wierd reason, I can't get Internet Sharing via BT to work. The Personal Area Network profile connects, but the TyTN seems to stop responding to the laptop after assigning the necessary DHCP settings to the laptop. I've also tried manually setting the server on the laptop to no avail. I've also tried the BlueSoleil stack to no success.
I have used Internet Sharing on my desktop and and it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to get this working?
I have a Vogue flashed with dcd 3.1.1 and I cannot pair a second bluetooth activesync. Basically it says the computer doesn't offer it as a service.
Since we had an extra device (8125 Stock) around we paired it up to the same laptop and found that it discovered the activesync service offered by the laptop. Although we found it discovered it as a "Pocket PC or Other PDA" where the XV6900 found it as a "phone or modem"
Between the two of us we have about 16 man hours into this ridiculous problem.
Is there any answer to how to get the Activesync service to be seen on the phone?
Funny thing is, this phone is already connected Via B/T on another laptop.
Which stack are you on? For me the Widcomm and toshiba bluetooth stack gave me the same problems as your having. I switched to the MS stack and now im connecting flawlessly for about a couple months now
MS Stack. But we've isolated it to the telephone.
hmm... weird...do you know if your usb driver is compatible with that stack? that might be an issue but I don't know because im not an expert :/
I don't think your phone can be paired to more than one computer at a time, so try unpairing from the other computer and and your phone delete the pair to your computer and delete your phone's pair on the computer, then try pairing from your handset first.
Lol, dunno if that makes a whole lot of sense x__x but doesn't hurt to try!
