if im not mistaken you need some sort of OBEX transfer on the phone... I THINK.. maybe someone can back me up or break me down on this!
It was working...
The problem is it was working alright only after I got something sent over to me by another phone via Bluetooth I have lost Synch partnership! Now everytime I try synching with my system it only show Serial Port as services available and not Active Synch as earlier!
That is the worst title you can think of. You may have got your answer earlier if not for the stupid title.
Go to activesync, on the connection setting, add your bluetooth serial port to it.
Thanks...
Thanks for your comments. The problem is I have already done what you have said, but my phone recognises my system as "Serial Port" or "Active Synch" not both together....

So, what is your problem? Just choose the "Active Sync" when your phone recognise your PC as "Active Sync". Please state your problem clearly.
hmmm, i think you've been hit by a virus phone,you dnt have a choice, only HARD RESET :evil:

When I pair my phone with the system the services it shows on the phone is only "Serial Port" and not "Active Synch". So when I try synching via Bluetooth from the Active Synch on the phone I get a message "Please pair a phone with Active Synch". I am not being able to make my phone "realise" that there is Active Synch on my system!

Hmm.. there seems to be communication problems between you and me too No worries. Anyway, just to confirm, that you have done this already.
Go to Active Sync.
Click on 'File'->'Connection Settings'
Check (tick) 'Allow connection to one of the following'
At the list below, choose the COM port that your bluetooth is attached to.
Delete the bluetooth pair (on your phone)
Re-pair (match) your bluetooh again (on your phone).
If fail, try another COM port at the 'Allow connection to one of the following'
Have done that
I have done what you have told me. The problem is my phone doesn't even recognise that my system has Active Synch via Bluetooth. All it show is Serial Port! It was working fine until I tried the dial-up funtion to connect to internet via GPRS. Since then when I pair it shows my phone as a modem. I have tried unpairing pairing several time no luck :?
Kull, I had a similar problem where my phone would not recognize the ActiveSync connection and would show it as serial port. Turns out that the port was unchecked in ActiveSync's connection settings. Hope this helps.
i had a similar problem...i deleted everything on bluetooth devices and ports on desktop pc and started from scratch...also soft reset the device...it worked for me...
Tried all but...
I have tried several things, including hard resetting the phone, installing Active Sync, repairing, problem just refuses to go!
You did create a port in bluetooth right. Control Panel, Bluetooth see pix...
Then select this port in ActiveSync.
Done that...
Yeah this is all fine, I think the problem is on the phone, somehow some port or something is blocking something.... if only I knew....
i´ve the some problem, and i remember that deleting a file on ppc, the problem was solved, but i don´t remember what file

Found a possible "solution" for some people who have been having problems estabishing a BT AS Partnership with their Universal and a host computer running AS. What I found was you may need to edit the registry to fix the problem. Here's what happened to me yesterday:
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!!!
Wow miguel, this seems to be the answer. Finally after sooo long I get a possible solution. Now even I see a mysterious folder in the exact place u have mentioned. This problem occurred after I transferred a file to a Nokia phone. So this must be the issue. Can check only after I return from my hols though. Thanks again.
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

No idea what has happened here????
Friday it was working fine. Now, when i try and synch via Bluetooth with the laptop I get an error saying 'Unable to connect with a PC that supports Active Synch'.
I cannot think of ANYTHING I have done in any settings on either??? I've searched and come up with loads of info on Active Synch and com ports etc and a process to go through but I didn't have to faff about with all this when I got it working first time?? Synched by cable, disconnected, set up partnership via PC. Synched via Bluetooth no problem.
Now I get this error. I've deleted devices on both and can re-pair OK but as soon as that's done I cannot connect. Any thoughts appreciated. I'm contemplating a hard reset first, followed by a bloody re-flash if needed. Real pain.

When you do the pairing on the phone, do you see "ActiveSync" in the PC's service list? If yes it means the config is OK on the PC, otherwise it would show as "Serial Port".
I've had the same kind of problem where I did have the "ActiveSync" but it would still give me the error you mentioned, I deleted the pairing, turned BT off/on on both the PC and phone, removed the COM port check in ActiveSync, ON, then activated it again, paired again and it was fine. It can be the PC blocking access or asking confirmation too. The stupid bluetooth stack I had on my previous laptop would sometimes ask for confirmation whether to accept the incoming connection or not... but the prompt stupidly wouldn't show up unless I manually clicked on the BT tray icon on the PC.
I'll look a that next time if it happens, thanks. Ended up doing a hard reset
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

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!
-Mike
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*
Hi
I really hope someone can help:
I bought a Belkin Music Reciever.
It works fine with my iPhone using PIN code '0000' when connecting, but when I try to connect with the Galaxy Tab, it can pair - but not connect. It never ask's me to enter a PIN code, but only to confirm the pincode, and I cant even see what code I am confirming, I can just press "Accept" or "Deny". It tries to connect, but goes back to the status "Paired". I tried unparing, I tried resetting to factory, and what else I can think of, but nothing works.
I think that the problem is that it never ask's for a pin-code, and therefore I can't enter the '0000' which is required to connect.
Please, any ideas?
Bump - no ideas?
