I browse the Internet on my laptop using to the GPRS/EDGE connection of my network provider and Internet Connection Sharing on my Kaiser.
I have been trying hard to establish a Dial Up Networking using either a Bluetooth or USB but with no success.
Bluetooth:
1. I make my laptop Bluetooth enable by using a BlueTooth dongle.
2. Pair the Kaiser and Laptop.
3. On my Kaiser, I cant see any service listed.
4. Though i can see that Win XP did detect a Bluetooth Modem and it installed it. When i "Query Modem" in my Control Panel for the BT modem, it does successfully query it.
5. I create a new Dial up connection and use this modem, however it never starts to connect to the GPRS.
I do have a Sony Ericsson T610, where i do exactly the same thing and the internet works like a charm.
Please can somebody explain me step by step process how to achieve this. I have read 100's of forums and imported many registry keys but it simply doesnt work. The same was the case with my Hermes(TMobile Vario II).
The ROM details are in my signature.
Thanks in advance.
Activesync?
last time i tried this, i used a USB cable and activesync was installed on my pc...it worked like a charm and the steps are oh-so-easy!!!
using a USB cable, follow these steps:
1. ensure the applications on your phone (web browsers, weather applications, etc) can use your data connection (edge/gprs) just fine
2. on your pc, you have to have either activesync installed (if you have windows xp) or windows device center (if you have windows vista)...i have only tried this with activesync so can't guide you further regarding vista
3. sync your phone and pc with activesync...just plugging in the USB cable on your phone and pc will usually get activesync going
4. on your phone, go to "Settings->Connections->Comm Manager" and hit the "Internet Sharing" button...a configuration page will open...select "USB" under "PC Connection" and whatever your data connection name is on your phone under "Network Connection"
5. hit connect!
now on your pc, check if the internet applications are working!
Note: it helps to disable ALL OTHER network interfaces on your pc from Device Manager

I dont want with Internet Connection Sharing. I want to use with Bluetooth Dial-up networking. Why? The reason is that with ICS, my screen glows permanently(even at the lowest bright option) and eats the battery. BT the screen will go off and still be connected.
True true...BUT!

that makes sense...BUT...the phone charges when it is connected to USB so Internet Connection Sharing worked well for me on my DESKTOP...but you have a laptop so it wouldn't make much sense in the long term to have your phone charge off your laptop's battery when you're on the go! i see your point!
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.

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*
My T-Mobile MDA Compact IV has suddenly developed a problem in that it won't connect (automatically or otherwise) to my PC or laptop. Until today it would give me the option of connecting as a 'Disk Drive' or 'Active Sync'
It simply just starts charging on my desktop but on the laptop the window pops up asking if I want to play media files, etc etc etc.
Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be and what I might be able to do to rectify it.
Thanks in advance for any help
go to settings > connections > usb to pc and set connection for active sync. if you rather check "ask before connecting", the device will pop up a choice of connection types everytime you plug it to the usb plug...

You sir, are a flippin' star
The AS and "ask" check boxes were .....errrrrr....... unchecked.
I have a problem with my diamond (now with BsB 6.5I rom)
usually, when connected by usb cable to the pc, a menu pops out and allows me to select between active sync, disk mode and internet sharing
now, when I connect the diamond to the pc, automatically starts with internet sharing
how can I sync with active sync if I cannot select the right mode?
Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC
Check the "Ask about conneciton type when I connect" checkbox and then it'll prompt you which of the two you want each time you plug the phone in.
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!
Best Regard!
