I am having trouble connecting my wing to my laptop (trying to use my wing as a modem over bluetooth). Ive contacted TMobile support and after going through alot of steps, they said that my bluetooth stack is not functioning properly and to contact mircosoft and/or bluetooth manufacturer. Ive contacted the bluetooth manufacturer and they said to contact technical support for my device (back to Tmobile ). Anyone out there have any ideas/suggestions?
THANKS!
It's faster using Internet Sharing and a 5 inch USB cable. Keeps the phone charged at the same time.....

Need help. Trying to set up blue tooth on cingular 8125. Just bought new kensington bt and it set up serial com as com 4 and 5. The phone only gives u the option of com 6 and com 7. Any ideas? The BT does connect to phone but activesync cant find phone. Tried activsync 4.1 and 4.2. Thanks in advance for help.
I'm having the same trouble. i scoured this and other forums but can't find any info on this problem. I think we may need to upgrade the rom on our phones. I'm still running the stock rom and i think if we upgrade that might correct the problem.
I talked to the support team at HTC about this issue, they say that the activesync feature is a function of the drivers that are loaded onto your PC. If you pair your phone and don't see activesync as an available option, then try to upgrade or reinstall your BT driver. I wouldn't have thought it would work, but a simple uninstall and reinstall of my existing bluetooth software fixed the problem for me.

This is the simpliest method to fix the problem.
I had many bad rounds of this and finally did a reinstall of the bluetooth and then Active"stink" (crappy program for many reasons).
You have to make sure that you can identify the port that you 8125 establishes a bluetooth session with beforee you try to sync with. This port number is used in Activesync to know which port to talk through.
Please make sure that in the connections of Activesync that you choose the port for which you identified as bluetooth connected to your device.
THEN try to re-establish a bluetooth Activesync connection from your 8125 (pair it if you need to) and "bing" there should the option for Activesync.

If you guys still have problems with this after let me know. I played with this for a few hours about a month ago and could retrace my steps. A couple of phone reboots after setting up the ports helped
Just to add, I noticed that once I upgraded the ROM to Summiter's 2.25 I was able to walk out of BT range and when I returned re-sync via ActiveSync without doing a soft-reset of the phone.
As SK7575 said, be sure to post there are plenty of folks using this connectivty option and it does work....
And I had this working - nicely syncing between my cingular 8125 and laptop via BT!!
But then I tried to get my 8125 to connect to my new wireless network - which did not work - and in the process of trying everything I must have broken something, because now after trying everything imaginable I just never see that activesync service on my 8125 any more.
The last I tried was to remove all the BT serial ports from device manager after deleting them from the HP bluetooth neighborhood (I have a bigger HP laptop with built in BT).
Then rebootet and four new BT ports were found and installed. Then I told the HP software to make a new incoming port (they call it service) and got COM 5. Then I told activesync on the PC to use COM5 for syncing.
Made sure all pairing was removed. booted both the HTC and PC - paired the two - bang - no 'activesync' service.
Now I am running out of options especially as I don't know how to un- and reinstall the HP software that comes with the laptop.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I also have the HP BT stack on my laptop and ActiveStink does not sync with my MDA.
Any answers here, may help get me synced via BT.
Is the trick to see which USB port comes alive when I connect MDA via USB?
and use that on my PC for ActiveSync to listen to via BT on my laptop?
Thanks

NB
I'd be glad to hear if someone has the Belkin F8T012 USB dongle and that they have that working with bluetooth ActiveStink.
'Cause everything I've tried, I never ever see the "Activesync" profile appear on my device when pairing, I only see an available Serial Port.
Does anyone know the details of how that active sync profile is cretaed on the 'puter? If I could troubleshoot from that angle, I bet I'd have it working...

Thus far, I've been unable to use my AT&T Tilt as a wireless modem for my Vista laptop. I've partnered them in the MS Bluetooth Stack, then gone to Windows --> Internet sharing and set it to bluetooth pan and media net, then on my computer, gone to "connect to" and opened the bluetooth pan connection. Unfortunately, at this point, my phone doesn't show up as a devic for bluetooth pan. If anyone can offer up some advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
I would also like to add that Bluetooth PAN also doesn't work for me in XP (SP2). It doesn't show up in the the Bluetooth Device Wizard (the one used to add devices with PAN services), but clearly broadcasting is enabled in the options.
Also, just as a side note, I can't get USB tethering to work either...I'd really appreciate any help I can get with this tethering problem. Thanks.
Got it working. I have no idea why, but for some reason when i tried repairing it for the sixth time or so, vista suddenly decided it had drivers to install for my tilt, and it went ahead and installed the modem driver. now everything seems to be working.
By Bluetooth or USB? Or did you get both working?
Why bother with Bluetooth or USB headaches?? Just use WMWiFiRouter and connect to your phone over Wifi.
i have a v1615 and want to use it to play online with my ps3 (which is in my car so i need some form of mobile connection) i have tried using WMWifiRouter which didnt work and i have tried using it wired but with no luck so has anyone got any ideas to help me???
i wouldnt recomend it unless you data service is free. coz the information that would download is insane and not to mention the data transfer speed will be slow
data useage isnt an issue as im Vodafone staff and on a true unlimited plan. I also have a HSDPA wireless usb modem and if you could think of a way to use that to get me ps3 online ide appreciate it!
see due to the price i aint got either a ps3 so i cant really help there, i just didnt want you doing it then getting a huge bill
tell us more bout your setups
on the phone or the whole in car solution?

The car solution please.
aye sorry internet went off what zee zee said
7" monitor in my head unit, ps3 (via crappy aux cables), psp and nokia n95 linked to a scart box which goes to the head unit. sub and amp in the boot ps3 powered off the amp via a invertor and the missing piece of the puzzle is online gaming also getin a 10.4" fold down roof mounted screen for the back but gota wait til payday now
i might be wrong here but i think youd need a driver on your ps3. so it recognises the tytn 2. but i wouldnt kno how to do that
What problems were you having with WMWifiRouter?
I use the paid version and it works flawlessly.
What steps did you take to try to get it working on the wired connection? I've used internet sharing through my usb cable and bluetooth and gotten it to work before, but depending on your computer and rom setup you may have issues (I've certainly run into a few).
EDIT: I assumed you had a computer in the car too but reading back I see no mention of this. If you have a laptop or a car computer you can use, this would solve your issue plus give you a computer in the car
Use clearwire
I'd like to use my internet tethering with a bluetooth adapter with my pc.
What would you say is the most reliable device that you've used?

I've used both a Belkin USB Bluetooth Dongle and now I'm using the one that came with my Logitech MX5500 Bluetooth desktop and neither gave me any problems connecting the TyTN II for Activesync, printing or file transfer (though I've never tried any using Bluetooth PAN and Internet Connection Sharing as that'd be slower than USB 2.0). The beauty of using my current one is that it handles the keyboard and mouse as well so no other dongle is needed. I have used Widcomms stack but now I'm just using the Microsoft one for basic functionality. I did briefly use a non-name elcheapo dongle a few years ago when I trialed a Motorola A1000 for a couple of weeks but I found the software with that one was a nightmare. The 'currentish' Widcomm software that comes with the Logitech and Belkin is much more user friendly. See if what you want can use the default Microsoft Windows stack and that should give you some idea of its compatibility. Not exactly a review of all thats out there but I hope that helps.
Nearly the same here actually, MX5000 with the supplied logitech/widcomm stack. Works perfectly well for everything, including file transfer, sync, PAN, ICS, A2DP,... and doesn't even cause trouble using the keyboard/mouse while all that's running.
Other than that I have the integrated BT on my laptop, then the one of my previous laptop, works perfectly too... I actually never ran into a "bad" BT adapter, it just works. Except maybe for bluetooth 1.0 about 6 years back in the early days of BT, it was a nightmare and nothing would usually work. But since they got it right it's really reliable and easy
Sweet! Thanks guys. That sounds about what I'm looking for.
HI,
I have a $10.00 blutooth dongle I bought off e-bay.
The real magic is in the software.
Try finding a program called bluesoleil.
It hooks up any bluetooth dongle for just about anything,
Bluetooth PAN
BT DUN
BT Serial port
BT access service
BT file transfer
BT sycronization
BT push
BT printer
BT human interface device
BT FAx
BT Imaging (camera/video)
BT headphone
and BT headset
I use it for BT PAN to tether my tilt (although the speed is about 60% of USB connection. 1100kbps vs 1800kbps)
and for my BT headphone/headset.
It even switches between headphone and headset during a Skype call!
Give it a try.
SF
Only prob is that Bluesoleil is payware if not bundled with an adapter, and while it indeed is makes it pretty easy visually the others like Widcomm will do just the same.
okay
so i plug in my tilt into the cradle, or the mini usb cable connection that i have, and in either case, the orange light comes up and the phone does indeed charge...however, the computer does not pick it up at all, i've tried on several computers already, and i tried it with pdacorner 16 and 18, both of which worked fine up until recently when this started happening...
so my question is, is it possible for the mini usb port on my tilt to have gotten messed up to the point where it still charges, but the connection to the computer doesn't work...
if so, what can i do about it?
the main reason i want to connect to the computer is to be able to use the 3g internet on my laptop/desktop, is there another way to do this?
The answer to the first question to the best of my knowledge is yes. The second question, you can send it to HTC or another repair company to get it repaired. I assume you have already tried a hard reset though. You can still tether your computer to your modem using your device's Wi-Fi and a program like WMWifiRouter. It isn't free, but it has many useful features including the ability to use your device's data connection over Wi-Fi. And FYI, if your computer has built in bluetooth (or you have a USB bluetooth USB key like I do), I think you can also tether over bluetooth without WMWifiRouter. I hope that answers your questions
