Bluetooth / ActiveSync Issue - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Using USB I don't have a problem, however when I try to setup ActiveSync using bluetooth I can not get it to work.
When connecting my PC to the Phone using add new connection wizard I get the following message after the Laptop finds the phone and I enter in the security code: "Installing a modem on COM40"
Well when I then connect my phone to the Laptop there is not a COM40 to pair up to.
I'm using:
Windows XP sp2
Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba v4.31.02.6(d)
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Tilt with latest htc rom v1.62.502.0
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Activesync Bluetooth
1) delete all bluetooth pairings between phone and computer.
2) go into your pc bluetooth settings (varies between BT manufacturer, but try right clicking the taskbar logo and selecting properties)
3) find the com port number used for serial port (remember)
4) open windows mobile device center on your pc
5) (without having your ppc connected) hover over <mobile device settings. and select <connection settings> from the drop-down menu.
6) tick the ,allow connections to one of the following. box and select click the comport number you discovered in point 3 above.
7) attempt to repair via your pc using the software bundled with your BT (or via control panel if inbuilt)
8) during pairing the connection type options will now list <activesync> instead of <serial port>, tivk this box and save.
9) launch activesync on your ppc (from <programs>) and select <menu>, <connect via bluetooth>

I just want to say that FINALLY I GOT IT WORKING!!!!!! on my Touch Elf. this advice worked perfectly. It took me some time to find it but this was the answer that I was looking for. I was almost ready to give up and start a new thread to ask for help with this problem (I havn't ever had to yet) and now I don't need to. Persistance in searching pays off

This didn't work for me.
I have a Dell D830 with a Toshiba Bluetooth chipset.
Any help?

I have the same problem with Dell D630 (Toshiba BT). I can't choose any COM Ports, it just automatically selects COM40 - which you cant use with Activesync 4.5 (port range 1-20).
Any help for this?

This didn't work for me, but I found something that did
Okay,
I'm using XP on my Dell D830 with the latest BT drivers (Toshiba BT w/ Dell's R167661 - Bluetooth drivers) and an AT&T Tilt.
I've hacked together information from several sources that I can no longer even remember, but since this was at the top of a google search for ActiveSync D830 Bluetooth "Serial Port" I thought that I would post my success here.
Make sure that you've removed any pairings from previous attempts and try this:
- On your Windows Mobile device, go to Settings/Connections/Bluetooth/Mode and check the box for "Make this device visible to other devices" and press OK.
- Back to the PC: Double click on the Bluetooth icon in the System Tray (if it's red then you have Bluetooth disabled somehow - try pulling the slider on the left side of the D830 toward you). This will take you to the Bluetooth Settings.
- Click on "New Connection"
- On the next pane leave "Express Mode" selected and click Next. After a moment you should see your Windows Mobile Device.
- Click Next.
- A dialog to enter a Bluetooth Passkey (PIN) will show. You will need to remember this passkey for a later step. Press OK.
- A dialog will pop up on you Windows Mobile device stating that some device is trying to connect. Press "Yes".
- After that a dialog will pop up to enter a passkey. Enter the same passkey that you used in the previous step and press Next.
- Now ActiveSync should be selected in the list of services detected. Press Save.
- On your laptop you should be setting at the Advanced Modem Page. Click Next.
- Not sure what this page is for, but I put just a one ("1") in the Telephone number field and pressed Finish.
If all of that worked, then on your Windows Mobile device go to ActiveSync, select menu, and Connect via Bluetooth.
I have successfully performed these steps about 6 times in the course of this write up. I am not any kind of ActiveSync expert so I most likely won't be able to answer questions like "why wasn't my device listed in the Bluetooth settings".
Hope this helps and good luck,
-Jim Roberts

Doesn't Work!
I tried the steps you suggested, but after pairing, the Toshiba utility automatically creates Port 40 then enters the Dial-Up Connection wizard. The mobile device does not let me choose ActiveSync (only "Serial Port" and "Wireless Stereo" are available).

I'd like to say thank you very much from Australia for the above mentioned instructions. If follwed exactly, they work fine with Blueant bluetooth dongle using windows xp and bluetooth stacks. I too have the problem of no more activesync via usb cable and the above has saved me from throwing the phone
Thanks again

Still haven't found what I am looking for.... (Bluetooth/ActiveSync)

This is quite a common problem, from what I have gathered reading from the web, but haven't found a solution yet.
I could Sync perfectly via Bluetooth using Actve Sync 4.2, but ever since I received a file from another phone via bluetooth Active Sync doesn't show up as an option when I pair my phone with my laptop, hence no Active Sync via Bluetooth.
What could have gone wrong? Anyway of getting my Active Sync to work with the Bluetooth again? I have tried everything possible, hard reset, re-installing Active Sync, re-pairing etc. etc.
Please to help... anyone???
i spent a day trying to connect to activesync using bluetooth, when i finaly manage to do this and disconnect it , next time i spent another couple hours trying to connect it again as it was before ). and i think i realize all specifics of that procedure. ur main goal is to recognise computer paired device as device connected via activesync service and not the "serial port" service on ur PDA.
That I know...
Thanks, for that, but that I know, problem is how to make the PDA realise that my system has Active Synch and not Serial port! Have you managed to find that out? If you have then please let me know. Thanks in advance.
It actually depends on what Bluetooth stack yr LapTop has, Broadcom,BlueSoliel, Toshiba or MS..U need to add a virtual Serial Port..set that serial port in yr Async connections on yr LapTop..then re-do the BT search on yr PDA and now it will show Async service in yr device..
yep, in my case its a toshiba one, and u need to set incoming and outgoing port on computer this way: com6 local client port, com7 local server port. and set activesync on com7, and make a connection on computer with pda on port 6 but do not coennect it, after that make a connection on pda with computer, and try to refresh list of services that computer provides untill "serial port" becomes "activesync", then launch activesync on pda and hit connect via bluetooth option, thats it.
Using MS Bluetooth software.
I am using the Microsoft Bluetooth software and there is only incoming and outgoing. Kept refreshing but only shows 'Serial Port'!

You are an absolute genius. I would never have thought about the "refresh" on the PDA bluetooth settings. It worked. I had given up previously so many times!!!

I tried this port with com5 and com9 instead because 6 and 7 were taken (by what??). But unfortunately it didn't work, kept showing "Serial port" even after many refreshes.
What a nuisance
I had a similar problem. One of the reasons I bought the MDA was to sync wirelessly, and I never got this to reliably work, and wound up using a USB cable. The problem is that if it doesn't work without doing something, it is more trouble than the cable. Here are my notes about making bluetooth work:
A workaround is (i) on the MDA, go into bluetooth settings, open the PC listing and uncheck and then recheck the ActiveSync service, and (ii) shut down ActiveSync and restart it on the PC, using ActiveSyncToggle (Google for it). This program also solves the problem that activesync would start and then report that it couldn't find the bluetooth dongle for the idiotic reason that ActiveSync started before the bluetooth dongle was started. ActiveSync doesn't have an Exit/close button, and ActiveSyncToggle provides it.

It's rather simple. Once you pair PDA & PC with ActiveSync, you got a connection - PDA with PC (ActiveSync) via USB. This you can see in ActiveSync -> Connection Settings - checked box near "Allow USB Connections".
And if you'll pair your PDA with PC by Bluetooth (I have BlueSoleil installed), you'll have a Com port (#7 in my case) applied to your PDA - not in PDA, in PC - so you must sign this port in ActiveSync -> Connection Settings -> check box "Allow connection to one of the followings:", choose right port from the list (#7 in my case), tap "OK" (but not "Connect"!!!) - and then try to refresh BT connection on your PDA - you'll see pretty soon - "connection type - ActiveSync". Then choose "connect via BlueTooth" from your PDA - Voila! Yuo're synchronising via BT!
BUT!!! From now on this silly ActiveSync will mind, that you wish to synchronise ONLY by BT! Look in "Connection Settings" - you'll see that "Allow USB connections" is unchecked! That means, you're not able to connect via USB any more!
So, if you want to connect via USB one thing you must to do - is to check this damn box manually! And you again can synchronise via USB.
And from that on - if you want to synchronise via BT - uncheck this box and check "Allow connection to one of the followings:" and check the propper Com port.
So thats all. Have fun!
Right

That is probably the problem for me, I sync with two PCs, so when I got one working, trying to sync with the other would bollix up the first's settings.
I have no experience synchronising with 2 PC's. Suppose, you'll have to pair with both PC's and watch right connection settings every time - is particular PC switched to synchronise by USB or by BT - before trying to synchronise!!!!
Else you'll be forced to delete all synx. settings from you PDA (AS page) every time (IMHO)... and pairing you devices from beginning...
Solution found at last!
This was the solution to MY problem:

Morning: Hard reseted my device and installed all my software apps at my work computer via AS in USB mode as a Guest. Note: I have not set up a partnership with any computer (either USB or BT).
Evening: Got in my truck and paired my JasJar to my BT GPS receiver via a BT Serial Port. Used TomTom and navigated home.
Late Evening: Got home. I wanted to set up a BT AS Partnership first so I went through the procedures of pairing my device and my home computer. And guess what, it didn't work. My JasJar would not see that AS was an available option on my home computer (NOTE: Before Hard Resetting my device in the morning, I had previously established a BT AS Partnership with my JasJar so I know my machine supported that profile). What the @?#~! Ok. I did a search of the word "sync" through the registery. Came up with an interesting issue. Under the registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Ac tiveSync\
In that directory I saw a folder listed as: 000a3a051d0f (This folder is specific to my device (more below)). I was wondering what this was since I did not have any BT ActiveSync Profiles set up yet. When I looked in it, I realized immediately that this is the Device Profile for my GPS RECEIVER!!!! What the hell was it doing in this directory I asked myself. So I deleted the folder 000a3a051d0f from the directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Ac tiveSync\
And guess what? I was able to establish a partnership via BT immediately!!!
Hope this helps anyone else facing similar situation... I guess when I sent something via a Nokia phone it created a key which kept recognising my laptop as having only serial port. Once deleted - pronto my laptop showed up saying it had Active Synch!

Bluetooth Activesync problem....

I don't see the word "activesync" on the services list on my device, I only see "serial port" what could be wrong? I tried re-connecting again and again, made an incoming connection on the comport and assigned the comport number in Activesync and still it won't work. The last time I did these procedures, everything seems working fine. What could be wrong?
Any solution? Bump.
I did read the thread here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331394 ) and tried everything there but just can not get the Activesync service to show up on my Tilt. Funny thing is it was working before I tried to get Bluetooth PAN working.
By the way, AT&T branded device, Toshiba BT stack on Win XP SP2.\
FINALLY SOLVED:
-In control panels Bluetooth Local COM
-Removed COM6
-Added COM6 as Bluetooth virtual COM port for a SERVER
Then finally Activesync service showed up and all was a breeze from there.

had the same problem. hee is, what worked for me: delete all pairing from device and PC. connect to pc with USB and install the Kaiser as modem. in active sync - connections - select the right USB serial port. after this it worked for me
tried both solutions above , but cant get the activesync service on my device :S
FINALLY SOLVED:
-In control panels Bluetooth Local COM

Can you explain this? Are those settins on the device? or pc?
thnx
yeah, a little more details would be nice. I can see the Bluetooth Local COM in the device manager but how do i install the virtual one?
problem solved here
- reinstalled activesync!!!!!
- added bluetooth paired device on ppc with my laptop
- in bluetooth settings on the laptop i added an incoming port , laptop added port 11 automaticly
- in active sync in connection settings, i said , use port 11 for incoming connections
- on pda i refreshed the services of the paired laptop , serial port service became activesync service!!
problem solved for me
If people are still having the problem (as I was using a Widcomm based BT adapter) you should go check out the registry entry at \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\ActiveSync. If you've deleted all the pairings and you still see a folder in there with some numbers, open it up and check the value of RasEntry. If it says the name of any device that you've paired your phone with, go back out to the ActiveSync folder (one level up) and delete that folder. Then re-pair and set up the serial port on your local computer to be the same as the one that ActiveSync (on your desktop) allows connections from in the Connection Settings preferences.

Tried that, but that didn't help. I have a Anycom USB-200 Widcomm based bluetooth dongle and a O2 XDA Neo (aka HTC Prophet) with Prophet Touch IX WM6 installed and I'm using Active Sync 4.5. It worked for me with WM5 before a while ago. I don't remember what I did differently that time.

ActiveSync via Bluetooth problem

Hi everybody,
It seems strange ,but after 2 weeks of good job,my Diamond can't sync
with an XP-laptop running Actisync 4.5 using bluetooth!!
My ROM is 1.37 WWE,working fine for all tasks....
Apparently the "ActiveSync service" is no more seen among the services after
pairing with laptop....
Cleared all relationship and rebooted the diamond.....nothing to do.
Other HTC devices (TYTN, Himalaya ,all with Windows mobile 6.1 work fine and syncronize via bluetooth...).
Please help me ..! I do not want hard-reset my diamond
Thanks
Have you updated your Xp to Sp3??
Search for Activesync Windows Sp3 there are several people thats having that issue.
I have had similar problems on both XP and Vista. You could try uninstalling your Bluetooth driver on your PC and rebooting. Your PC should re-install your Bluetooth drivers after reboot. Make sure the partnership is cleared from your handset and try to set up the relationship again.
If you are having the same problem I was having, then this should work for getting the two to talk to each other again. However, in my case, after I rebooted again, I would start getting "Port Not Available" errors on my Diamond.
I ended up installing the BlueSoleil bluetooth drivers on my PC and things are working much better now. If worse comes to worse, you can try them. You can run the trial version forever, but, it is limited to 5 MB transfers per session.
Good luck.
ActiveSync via bluetooth problem ...again
Thanks for all suggestions....
Yes ,i updated my Xp to SP-3,but it seems to be a "Diamond-problem" because if I use another 2 phones (HTC:TYTN-1 and Himalaya,both with Windows mobile 6.1) no problems occur when syncronizing with Xp laptop
via bluetooth........this is a matematically demonstration ,I think.....
Furthermore this problem occured just today ,while XP-SP-3 was installed 2 weeks ago.....
Thanks again
Giuseppe
Perhaps too simple, but did you activate "Transfer" (use to be called "Beam") as well? As being renamed on your Diamond it is easy to overlook.
To Rondol1
Hi Rondol1,
Maybe you mean "receive all beam" -in bluetooth settings....
Yes,sure,but it makes no difference....
Thanks
ActiveSync via bluetooth problem ...again-2
Using PHM_Registry_Editor I took a look inside:
HKLM_Sw_Microsoft_Bluetooth_Device_...._services_0001101-0000-ecc.ecc.
"name": Serial port (instead ActiveSync!) tried to change...but does not fix.
The curious is that "TYTN" -working correctly via Activesync-Bluetooth---
has the same string and values!!!! for all the other variables...
It is a mistery at the moment
Has nobody a solution for this yet?

Well, I am not certain this will answer the question. But I had the same problem defined here and I overcame it.
1.- I was finally able to pair computer and diamond: start the pairing process from the computer and use a long password like 8 char or more. (I used o use 4 digit one and did not work).
2.- once Paired, go to Activesync in the PC and enable COM port: - "My ActiveSync" must be listed and enabled in the PC BT devices with a COM#. -then enable that COM# in the ActiveSync Connection Config
3.- Go to DIAMOND ActiveSync, Menu - Connect via Bluetooth, and the Error Appears, "No activesync Device...", Click Yes and go to COM Ports ... "Click REFRESH" (this was the key hint) and an "Activesync" service should appear from the PC. Select it, and that's it. It worked for me.
Here's a funny troubleshooting tip. Apparently Windows media Player on your pc can interfere with Activesync. make sure its not running in the task manager before trying to sync.

Cant connect bluetooth to diamond
Im having problem when i try to pair my bluetooth device "MSI star key 2" with the Bluesoleil sofware program, whem ive typed in the 4,8, 10 digid passwords i get connected but just after 3 seconds i get disconnected again, can i be sometith with the "com 19" port.
i have tried uninstalling bluesoliel software and diffrent typed of bluetooth dongel but no luck
i have a siemens gigaset SL37 that connects fine with bluetooth and sync with my outlook contacts
Perfect
I have waded my way through multiple threads trying to figure out how to get Bluetooth to work on an XP SP3 PC with BlueSoleil and activesync 4.5 and a HTC Touch Diamond. I ended up catching this suggestion of 8 digit key, and used my phone number (all 11 digits) and that solved it. it now syncs without issues.
Thanks

Activesync over BT

I've spent several hours attempting to get this working, I've even bought two new BT dongles for my computer for testing.
Is it at all possible to get activesync working over BT on the diamond? Can't seem to get the ActiveSync profile offered... Neither on my PC or my phone!

Same happend to me until I found the right settings after that I just get irritated when my cable connection doesn't work, in other words I just use it whitout even nowing what the settings are, maybey I can help you if you tel me your settings and show some screendumps, after that I can show you some screendumps whit a working bluetooth connection.
Ps I am not giving any garanty just want to keep my own bluetooth connection
Willem
It works fine for me with Mobile Device Center. Remember to enable BT connection on desktop Activesync options, or else the profile won't appear when you pair with the phone.
I've never got BT/AS to work either (and I've spent days trying), as you say, I never get offered the AS service.
I did see it *once* on the Diamond when I was trying to connect another service (maybe Obex) but I didn't realise how important that was at the time.
I'm using XP/SP2 with the Toshiba stack but I've tried the BlueSoleil stack also with the same result.
I'm guessing this is a problem with the Diamond as I can happily connect with my Artemis via BT to the same laptop
Mee too, I saw the AS-service ONCE, but never ever again.. .:'( Tried 3 dongles and probably 6 different stack implementations.
I'm using XP as well, are the only success stories related to Vista?
Never seen it.
A bad-developed thing with MS and activesync, too bad.
I don't now how your guys try to connect I just can tell how my connection works flawless.
First of all and most important problem whit me was that I have to use the phone to make the connection and not the pc/notebook offcourse you have to allow active sync to acces your phone, in my case this is is found at file connection and allow conection for a compoort in my case com7, then I switch bluetooth on at my phone (and not try to sync straight away cause this results often in a faillure ) and then connect true bluetooth at my phone using the comand connect true bluetooth at active sync at my phone.
One of the strange things which have to set is "All connections use this connection and there is selected "USB" this maid seems trange but I believe the compoort is a virtual one which is used to connect at USB for that reason you have to add a compoort before making your connection, if done right your Diamond will ask for it as soon as you setup the bluetooth connection, the last thing can be wrong cause I don't remember quite well how I did the setup of that part, just because I never use any other connection anymore seems I mannaged to get it working.
This way I can even use it as a wireless webcam which can make you do funny things, the danger of it is when some good programmer makes a virus which allow to setup that connection remotley, aswell the connection whit pocketcontroller I don't want to think off what would hapen if someone manage to get controll of my phone.
Don't now or this is helpfull if any questions feel free.
Willem
On my diamond the only service I can find on my laptop is:
Serial Port
Wireless Stereo
AS set to use the same port as the incoming port in my bluetooth manager...
If you set COM ports right, you tie Diamond with PC using Diamond's ActiveSync. Start/Programs/ActiveSync, the Menu|Connect via Bluetooth. It should ask you now to make a new connection. Tap yes, it will search for BT devices. Choose your PC. If you did everything all right, now you will be connected.
(this may be obvious but I had some problems at start; I thought you initiate the connection on PC)

Yes... But what to do when this fails? Anyone ever encountered the "no activesync profile" problem and actually solved it?

I gues if there is no active sync profile yet you have to create one what maid be possible aswell is that your settings under active sync/options at your phone where you must selct the options which you want to be syncted, if nothing is selected there it will make a connection but will not sync.
This worked for me
To Async using MICROSOFT Stack do the following:
a. open Control Panel and open Bluetooth Devices
b. click Add and add your device. go to Options and mark "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" and "Allow Bluetooth Devices to connec to this computer". you can also mark other options as desired.
c. go to COM ports and add an INCOMING port. it will choose a port for you automatically.
d. go to WMDC/Connection Settings and mark "Allow connections to one of the following.." and choose the port you created.
e. go back to Devices and choose your PDA. choose Properties and go to Services. there you should see all services your PDA provides. one of them should be Active Sync Bluetooth Service. mark it and click OK. your comp and PDA should connect and disconnect a few secs later.
f. on your device, open ActiveSync and under Menu choose Connect Via Bluetooth.
I just provide my solution.
I use IVT BlueSoleil to manage my BT dongle. After installed, the BT dongle could be recognized as a COM port on the PC. Check through the PC device manager to know what the port number is, then adapt in Activesync, select "Allow connections to one of the following", select COM7 in my case.
Enable BT on the Diamond to make it visible to PC, after paring the PC with Diamond, Diamond could recognize the PC provides ActiveSync services.
Go to Diamond's ActiveSync, select connect via BT, PC will automatically accept the connection from Diamond.
P.S I am not a native English speaker, I just wonder if I could make you understood.

I think the majority here isn't a native English speaker, this forum isn't a forum about language but about phones and pda's if someone wants to show how good his/here English is they beter look for another forum.
I think this forum is one of a few where the solution which someone offers weights more then the way its sad, unless its offending.
Untill now (I don't now what I am calling over myself now) I never got any critics at my English which is far from perfect the last thing wasn't nescesary to say even a blindone could see it whitout braille.

I was able to sync my Diamond using WMDC on vista using these steps, with a few modifications.
I had to leave my WMDC "Connections Settings" pull-down box on "Bluetooth" for it to work for me. I'm using a USB dongle, this may be why.
On step (e), after opening the "Services" tab and unchecking, then rechecking the "Active Sync Bluetooth Service" box and hitting Okay, my device would be listed as "Connected" on the main Devices tab for a few seconds before disconnecting (about 3 seconds). I had to initiate step 4 BEFORE the device disconnected. So basically I had 3 seconds to start the Bluetooth sync to get them talking. Haven't had any problems since!

This is what worked for me, when not able to get the active sync profile.
In settings for "USB to PC";
turned off 'enable advanced network functionality'
My PC and my Diamond didnt show me any services. Because of that it says no device is paired when i want to connect, although my PC is paired.
I use XP SP3 and the Windows BT Stack.
xp SP3 is a problem ?
cuz nothing work for me
Doesn't work for me either.
Using Vista64SP2.
It worked before but eventually stopped working now.
I see ActiveSync on the Phone and on the Notebook.
AS tries to establish a connection for some seconds but cant do it.
//edit:
Ooook, after Firmware-Flash of new o2 Germany v2.03.207.2 everything's working again. *strange*

How to sync Leo with PC via Bluetooth!

Hi everyone!
I'm wondering how to connect Leo with PC via Bluetooth..Just sometimes I come to Office and forget my cable...poor..
If anyone knows it, please share some experiences for me. Add video or picture it's more clear..
Thanks so much!
noone knows how to do it???
Pair your device with your computer, then connect to it.
You can access the HD2's Bluetooth manager in All Settings/Bluetooth.
To pair, either put your computer in discoverable mode and add it with your HD2, or the other way around.
To put your phone in discoverable mode, tab on the left (Settings) tab in the Bluetooth manager then look for the relevant option.
To put your PC in discoverable mode, look for the Bluetooth icon in the notification area, right click it and select "Open Settings", tick on "Allow discovery by other devices", and click OK.
To pair from the HD2, in the Bluetooth manager's device list (middle tab), tap Menu, tap "Add device", and follow the instructions.
To pair from the PC, look for the Bluetooth icon in the notification area, then right click and select "Add a device".
Once done, tap the "+" near the PC's name in the device list too see the available services, then tap ActiveSync.
The ActiveSync service will not appear if the PC doesn't have ActiveSync or WMDC installed, or if the device already has an ActiveSync connection established (i.e if you are connected by the USB cable)
Successfully did it today ! In office without the microUSB cable but needed to transfer a file (also didn't have a microSD card reader with me).
First pair the PC with HD2 (enabled automatic authentication between the 2 from now on)
Confirmed ActiveSync include COM5 (or whatever in your case Bluetooth is using)
on HD2 side, ActiveSync > Connect
Whoala ! Just like the cable equivalent.

Thanks for your help!
one more question..in this case to sync PC with PPC. Do the PC need a Bluetooth set to connect with PPC? If like that I think my PC can not apply for..I see only Laptop have Bluetooth set included inside..what a pity!
Anyway thanks for your share!
