Hi,
I'm trying to run an app on the Kaiser phone, but unfortunately it does not recognize phones unless they are configured as serial devices. Is there a way to configure the USB port on the Kaiser as a serial communication port? I tried punching in ##3424# but was unsuccessful. I also could not find a flag in the registry that allowed use of USB as a serial bus. Does any of you have the drivers that allows mapping the USB as a serial port in my computer?
Thank you,
SJ
Last time i checked
USB!=Serial
If you are trying to use the phone as a serial modem, then there are existing drivers for the HTC Modem.
Got it to connect as a serial modem
Hi,
I made some progress in this front. I got my Vista computer to recognize my phone as a HTC USB modem.
But when I start the wModem using Menu > Start and then on Vista goto Start > Connect to > HTC USB Modem it drops the WModem connection on the Kaiser. The Wmodem application closes and reappears after Vista has determined it is unable to connect to the modem.
Has anyone else seen this problem.
Thanks,
Shree
format C: and install XP should do the trick
usb cant emulate old serial == rs232 that few new pc's even have anymore
a usb to rs232 adaptor is required but those require the device using them
being able to be usb host and only flame and Athena support that

I just bought an Asus M6VA laptop (called Z70 something in the US), and it has built-in Bluetooth. I can connect with the serial port OK, I can use the Dial-Up Networking to surf the net with my laptop and the BA as the modem, but I'm unable to get AS working. I have AS over BT working with my office computer, that has a Logitech DiNovo Media Desktop bluetooth, with Widcomm stack. But the Asus has a Toshiba stack with a totally different setup, and I can't get it to work.
The Widcomm stack sees AS and even an audio gateway, so I can use the PC as a handsfree device for my BA (even though the sound's rather terrible), but the Toshiba stack only sees a serial port and DUN on it. i would appreciate any pointers and help!
have you set up active sync on your laptop to connect via bluetooth.you have to click on file conection settings and select allow connection to one of the following and then select the com port your pocket pc is using.also when you setup your pocket pc to connect to your laptop it gives you the option of serial port but you also have to have active sync selected aswell if it does not show up then press refresh.let me know wat happens.
I tried again, and when I connect the serial port, I see "Microsoft ActiveSync cannot recognize this device for one of two reasons " and then it suggests that it wasn't connected properly, or that it isn't a PPC or smartphone.
I have the serial port on the PC set to Com6, and AS is set up to allow syncing through that port. On the PPC I have outgoing port Com 0 (just about the only port I could get it to accept, but I tried one other, I think it was Com 9, and that didn't help). I have done a bunch of refreshes but I can't see active sync as an available service on the laptop. I belive that's the problem, since I could see that on my office computer, and that connected and synced without problems.
In AS on your laptop delete any previous partnerships with your PDA. If possible, delete any laptop partnerships in AS on your PDA as well. On your PDA, go to Settings -> System -> Bluetooth Settings. Choose to start AS setup...
It sounds like your laptop may be using the MS drivers... There should be an option to make your laptop Discoverable, but I'm not very familiar with the MS stack... more familiar with the Widcomm. Look for something like Advanced settings in the left window pane...
Let us know if any of that helps!
I have tried that , but clicking on the Start button gives me a window "Please bond with other Bluetooth device which supports serial port or Active Sync profile as your AS partner". And I have already bonded! Bonding again doesn't change anything.
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/579009962631/m/519002845731 use these instructions that is what i did and it worked fine.let me knw
Nope, it doesn't work at all. Like I said in the first post, this is not a Microsoft stack, it's a proprietary Toshiba stack, and it doesn't have any of the setup windows or settings that this guide mentions.
You've probably thought of this....
Maybe you need to manually create a serial port to your PDA... When you paired the PDA to the laptop, what services were you offered? If Serial port is available, create the connection, note down the COM#. With BT started, in AS allow synch via new BT COM port...
Yes, I have tried that, and it didn't work.
I finally managed to do it! I found a way to use the Micro$oft BT Stack instead of the Toshiba one, and now I'm finally set up for AS over BT with the guide mentioned above. Thanks!
* Just so I don't get flamed...I HAVE searched the forums AND google AND have tried what they recommend...it just still doesn't seem to work.
I was using a D-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter (until I broke it). I remember at one point in time that I WAS ABLE to run an ActiveSync session via Bluetooth. I have just purchased a Kensington MINI USB adapter (only sticks out about 1/4" so maybe this one won't break.)
I have rePaired my computer with the Tilt, created a port (com5) on my computer, set ActiveSync to use Com5. But when I try to issue a Bluetooth Activesync...it says that it cannot connect beause it's not a ActiveSync Port. Checking the available services shown on the Tilt reported by the PC...shows only Serial Port. I have tried everything I can...remove the Com Ports, replace the com ports, different com ports, remove all pairings, etc. Still cannot get the Tilt to see the ActiveSync service.
I CAN sync via cable...but I just want to cut the cords when traveling. (The less the better.)
I found several google answers that are relevant.
However, depending on the version you use I reccomend you start in Activesync Help. Launch A/S, go to help menu, select "connecting a mobile device to pc", then select "connect to activesync using bluetooth".

i use a BT Dongle to sync with Activesync and was having that same problem. To correct this, i deleted the current sync relationship on both the PC and the PPC. i also deleted the BT Pairing on both the PC and PPC as well. Once that was all done, i repaired the PPC with the PC and it found the Activesync Port. and it works beautifully both via BT and USB Cable.
I hope this helps.

You don't know how many times I tried that exact sequence and zippo. I might just have to admit defeat and go cabled.

I know that it's probably too late to post this, but I had the same problem just now. What I did is I removed all other USB cables that are connected to my computer and tried to pair again. And viola, I see my activesync.
I'm in the same situation
My mini usb port on the phone charges, but it doesn't connect to ActiveSync. So I went and bought a bluetooth dongle for my laptop & desktop. On my desktop I allowed the OS (WinXP) to install it's drivers. I followed the instructions on the Activesync help and it worked beautifully. On my laptop on the other hand it didn't first with xp driver and then with the drivers included with the dongle I just couldn't set a com port that Activesync could use (it has to be numbered below 20 and all I get is 24 and beyond). To make matters worse the included drivers tend to hang my laptop so no joy.
This dongle's Interlink NANO Bluetooth VP6494 & the drivers are by Toshiba.
Any ideas??!!
This is how I fixed it for me
First I uninstalled the Toshiba BT drivers that came with my dongle. Then I erased the laptop pairing in my kaiser. Then I uninstalled a couple of programs (Motorola phone tools, Samsung Studio & some other for a Sony Ericson) from my laptop. After that I plug the dongle back in, allowed XP to install it's drivers.
After that I was able configure a COM port with a number less than 20 & have been able to sync thru Bluetooth since.
Hope it helps.
I am currently running on Windows 7 and i had the WM6.1 on my Tilt and i just flashed it to Hyper Dragon III and now my WMDC wont connect, i checked on Device Management and it shows that the phone is connected but its got the little warning sign on it and i tried clicking on Update driver and it didn't work. I don't know that is wrong with this Please Help.
Two things to try
Hi
I have two suggestions you could try:
1) Try different USB ports on your computer. If you are using a USB Hub then definitely switch to a port that is directly connected to your motherboard.
2) Try running a Windows Update Manually when your phone is connected via a USB port.
I hope one of these solves your problem.
Cheers

try going in settings-connections and changing the usb to pc settings.
you can also try updating WMDC
When you plugged your phone in, did you make sure to choose Active sync from the " "
" connection type " window, instead of Internet sharing?
You could connect alright before flashing HD III ?
Using Belkin BT adapter and Kasier branded Wm6 ROM worked fine, no issues (XP Pro SP3)
Since doing the 6.1 HTC branded ROM, the phone has been great but I cannot get the ActivSync working on BT! Cable is fine, when I select the PC from the Kasier it does not offer Activsync as a service, only Serial and Network I think.
Really want to get this going again, any ideas?

If you see "serial" it means that the probem is on the PC side, and ActiveSync is not set to use the PC's incoming serial port.
When this is correct, you won't see serial naymore but will have activesync instead.
In your BT settings on the PC, check what COM port is assigned to your serial profile. Choose that COM port in AS and it should work.
Afraid i have tried that using COM3 and COM5, they are listed as BT com ports and have set one of them within the BT Config and then AS.
I noticed when I pair the devices, the phone always shows an error like wrong code, then asks again and accepts code.
It does seem to be the pc, i tried a network which has toshiba BT stack and it asked for the pin to confirm pairing which my main pc does not. it seems to kick the pda off. just downloading later drivers and reinstalling it. Should I be using the Belkin stack?
hey everybody,I'm wondering to connect my X1 to activesync with an external BT(for exploring my files in memory stick and using internet on my device),But there is a problem....
I did these steps to connect my device:
Turn on BT on PC and X1>pair>right click on "my device" icon in Bluesoleil and select properties>in services tab select add serial port and I added Serial port 5(because serial ports 3 & 4 are enabled in Bluesoleil meanwhile I can't select these ports in X1i because of errors)so I forced to add this port that Bluesoleil+X1i+Activesync that supp. it...then I checked mark serial port 5 in Bluesoleil>X1i>properties>Bluetooth serial port(com5) and then I changed winXP activesync & WM activesync com port to serial port 5 and try to connect but no results.....
I know I confused u because of my sentences but I did my best
