question about bluetooth and windows mobile 6 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi to all. Both me and my friend heave same problem. We both heave htc devices (prophet and artemis ) with windows mobile 6.1. Problem is with bluetooth OBEX file transfer. When I try to send file from pc using obex (pc is running linux) we both get dialog for adding pc to list and it asks for passkey. on other mobiles this is not needed. Is there some workaround for this problem? Adding default passkey is not solution since this setup is working fine with hp ipaq and seems to be a htc related problem.

WM 2005 & ActiveSync 4.0- Solution

Somebody has trouble with WM 2005, ActiveSync 4.0 (in PC) is working not stable or hanging all the time and me too- Magneto with WinXP SP2, office 2003 SP1.
In my experience some solution can be improved as following:
1. ActiveSync via IR - very sample but too slow
2. ActiveSync via Bluetooth - sample and fast
3. ActiveSync via USB, we need to do some steps
+ Turn off firewall of OS windows
+ Open network cards on your Himalaya:: Settings/ Connections/ Network cards
+ Click "Remote NDIS host" and you can see: Marked " Use specific IP addres"
+ Click " Use server-assigned IP address"
+ Click OK
+ Connect your device to PC, ActiveSync must be working at least in my case

@ xpirate
You can try remove activesync 4.0 and reinstall again, reset PC, turn off firewall and reconnect.
the problem i have is with outlook and activesync. whenever i try and use activesync, it pops up with some dialog about outlook not being configured correctly. which is true, seeing as I DONT USE OUTLOOK FOR ANYTHING! so why is this happening? it's not even set to sync email as i dont use outlook!

I noticed the same problem with AS 4 - it would only synchronise Favourites and Files.
Read the error messages carefully and you will find one telling you to use the 'Detect & repair' option on Outlook. I did so and it synced properly.
It was when I went back to Outlook Express that I realised that my OE wasnt the default email client anymore - Outlook had taken over that function. I made OE the default client again and AS stopped synchronising - went back to the same old error.
From the above I can only conclude that AS4 will only synchronise with Outlook and not any other PIM programmes. It also requires Outlook to be your default email client if you want to sync - slimy lil microsoft trick.
If you have a firewall, you will also notice that ActiveSync tries to send out email messages - this is both annoying and scary. Who are these messages intended for - Microsoft? I have blocked AS4 from sending emails on my firewall, but I still have to do a 'detect and repair' which sets Outlook as the default email client everytime I want to sync...
Problemas with the activesync
I don´t know what happen with the activesync and w2005. I cannot synconize because a hardware happen in the device manager.
The error is in the device manager-network adapters- windows mobile-base.

I got the same problem with my Win2003Server box.
If you are running XP then you need to apply Service Pack 2
If you are running 2003 then you need to apply Service Pack 1
Seems that these packs have files "netrndis.inf" and "Usb_Rndis.ndi" that fix our problem
If you will find these files could you pls send them here? I dont' have SP1 installed and cant find these anywhere ((
I can confirm this.
On my office notebook I don't have SP2 on XP and Activesync does not work via USB (Bluetooth works).
On my home PC I have SP2 on XP and Activesync works via USB.
I guess I have to try to get these files somehow.
Patric
Update: OK, I got netrndis, but I don't have usb_rndis...
Hi Patric,
Thanx for the file!!!
Can you also post: rndismpx.sys AND usb8023x.sys ?
So, hope we will find a solution for non-SPed WinXPs and maybe for non-SPed Win2003
Thx!
OK, the files are attached. Does this help? I'm still missing the USB_rndis.ndi file.
Cheers Patric

Thank you very much for the files! No need for the "usb_rndis.ndi"
It seems to be working on XP but not on my w2k3 box :-(((
Here what to do with files on XP:
1) Open "Drivers" subfolder in your ActiveSync folder (i.e., c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers)
2) Copy all three files there: netrndis.inf, rndismpx.sys & usb8023x.sys
3) Put your I-Mate to the cradle
4) When device installation wizard will ask you to proceed with Automatic or Manual installation you need to Choose "Manual". Then open your activesync's Drivers folder. Choose "Windows Mobile-based device" and wait until installation is finishes...
Good Luck!

Have no exact idea cause didn't have such, but try to:
1) Disable ALL possible firewalls
2) Make sure your current ActiveSync Partnership is not "Microsoft Exchange" and if it is, just delete current partnership and create a new one
3) Remove "Email" from your sync list?!
4) Remove "Favorites" from your sync list?!
thx..
but..I have no firewall turned on (i had only microsoft firewall, it's off)
I have never connected to an exchange server, my partnership in activesync is only with my pc.
I have reinstalled activesync, not useful
removing items could help.. i'll give it a try
i'm going to sleep for now, thanks..
I *think* longhorn is very nice, but i'll stay with xp
I copied everything and did the procedure... now I get the error message 'Device can not start (10)'...
Not successful yet...

ActiveSycn 4.0 Works after all!!!
I fixed my ActiveSync USB problem...
I downloaded ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's web site and instlaled over current AS4.0.
When I placed my MDA2 on the cradle, the same problem persisted, so with the PDA still in the cradle I unplugged the USB connector and then connected it again but to another port. Now the system detected a "new" device and installed properly this time so now it works 100%.
I hope this procedure helps you too!
By the way, I'm on Win XP (no SP2) and USB 1.1
Best regards,
Rayan
Does the activesync 4 can sync WM2003SE? cuz i got problem saying that version incompatible..

C# SerialPort - can't send data via (virtual) com-port

Hi!
I want to write a little remote software for my pda (HTC Prophet), with which i can control some things of my laptop.
My problem is, that i can't send data via the com-port from my pda to the laptop (it's a virtual com-port because they are connected via bluetooth).
I'm using Visual Studio 2005, OS is Windows Vista, PDA is a Windows Mobile 5!
Is there anybody that can help me with solving that problem? Which settings do I have to chose so that I can establish the connection via com-port? If necessary I can also post some code!
Greetings and thanks,
Nico

What programming language (version of the NETCF) are you using?
Can't send as in?
- Can't create port?
- Exceptions thrown?
- Data sent but not received?
- Haven't written the code yet?
Not sure I'll be able to help, but a bit more info on the problem will help people to help you.
Gingercat.
-C# with .Net 2.0
-No exceptions
-Laptop receives no data (checked that with a com-port listener)
-I already have the code
concerning the bluetooth settings in vista:
-com-port 6 (incoming)
-can't set an outgoing port for the laptop on the pda (only for other paired mobile phones)
Do you need further information?
Greetings and thanks,
Nico
No ideas and hints?
Does the bluetooth stack on your laptop support the Serial Port service?
I think so! It's the Widcomm BT stack!
??
No other ideas or hints?
I need more information...so please help me

How to disable Bluetooth's Phone Book Access Profile? In WM6.x

I have a problem with synching my HTC Wizard WM6.x *all versions*
Only 36 of the 300 adresses sync.
I know the Bluetooth support from Opel (Vauxhall) is not the best.
But how can I fix this on the WM6 side? WM6 (without PBAP works ok!)
I think I now found the cause:
Windows mobile 6.0 works ok. 6.1 does not.
The main difference (I think) is the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP).
Is there a way to diable this in Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5?
Disabling PBAP support in WM 6.1
It looks like you can disable the PBAP support with a registry hack. Delete the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\Services\{796135f0-f0c5-11d8-0966-0800200c9a66}] key and restart your phone. That should do it.
JimT
I think that did the trick. It took me a while to figure out how to delete this regkey. Could it be you need to disable bluetooth first, and then delete the key?
Would this also work for Windows Mobile 6.5?
Anyone have a clue how to do this on a Pantech Matrix pro. (6.1). My wife has one and the Mygig Uconnect bluetooth module in the van asks if you want to let it have access to the phonebook and I have to say no every time. If i let it connect it will always connect and it causes the phone to be really slow when first getting in the car and for a little whole longer. I did look for that registry key but I could not find it.
Any help would be great.

activesync

Hi,
I was able to install activesync but not to get PC and 3G synchronized.
In explorer, I can "see" it but no synchronization (in My computer I have an icon "mobile device", when I doubleclick I get no detaiel, no folders, no file
When I try to link (USB is checked) I get a message saying nothing can be found
When connecting, on the 3 G I get 3 options... the uppermost is "Activesync"... this is checked
Can somebody help or show me the threads to be read (and that realy help)
Thanks
ActiveSync only works with XP, not with Vista or Win7. For Vista download Mobile Device Center. Install first and then connect. happy thrills.
I'm using XP...
I can copy files to and from the device, but no activesync...
Strange.. still no solution to this problem.
r u using illegal win xp?
Nope... laptop so...
Do you have any software firewall installed? Might be a reason, had it before..
Try uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync and associate the device again. It worked for me once before
I had some problems with activesync and data transfer. It would sync but would disconnect after a while during file transfer. I was told it was an unusual problem. Nevertheless, the nice people at HTC changed the mainboard and I'm now problem free. They mean it when they say they are people centric. I'm a potential customer for life!
Activesync keep on appear automatically
Hi,
I have Garmin mobile XT, SPB shell V3.00 and WK Task installed in my Jade, and i have problems where Activesync launch automatically every time after i used my Garmin. This is quite annoying, did anyone has the same experience?
Thanks.

IPAQ Web browsing problem

Hi all,
My device is IPAQ data messenger with WM 6.1, I tried to connect it to PC with windows 7 and latest WMDC, it connects and sync successfully.
Then I tried the following:
- Remote Desktop ( connecting over internet ) It works.
- Kinoma freeplay software, it connects to the internet and can download videos & pictures.
- Weather forecast it works.
but when I try to brows the internet using IE it gives me error message "Cannot connect with current connection settings, To change your connection settings tap settings"
I installed Opera 10 and same problem, could any one help me with this..
Thanks ....
Any help please...
As we dedicate here only to HTC devices, if yours is not listed here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Probably is not build by HTC.
Good luck,
If you can sync you absolutely should be able to connect to the Internet. I have an older Ipaq 2415 with WM 6.5, but I don't have Windows 7...
Making that Device to PC connection is the most troublesome part and you did that, now you just need to search the "connections setting" issue. Sorry I can't be of more help, but since this IS for mainly HTC devices you may not get any more help
Ipaq Web browsing problem
Hi all,
Thanks for your replay, is it different between mobiles?? because I think it is related to the OS!!!!!
Any way, I did the following:
Settings-->Connections-->Connections-->Advance-->Exceptions
and I added the following string: */*, it works now but it did not worked with wireless connection, I don't know why
