WM5: Unable to sync with my laptop with Toshiba BT!

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!

blue tooth activesync and cingular 8125

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
Gunter

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...
-Chuck

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!

ActiveSync via Bluetooth - No ActiveSync Port

* 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.

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.

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

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)

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*
