Solved: Activesync over Bluetooth with Toshiba BT stack (all Toshiba & Dell laptops)
I wanted to setup Activesync over bluetooth with my Dell laptop but could not figure out how to do it. Until I came across this excellent set of tutorials http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=howto that describe the whole process and much more. The one relevant for Diamond is here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetoot...a_Bluetooth_TOSHIBA-PC---Windows-Mobile-6.zip
I am using Toshiba bluetooth stack, which is definitively one of the best. And to make it even sweeter- not too many people know it- it works with many Dell laptops and perhaps even all? with a built in BT module (350,355,360). Toshiba and Dell struck license deal a while ago that makes Dell internal BT devices licensed under their own BT stack.

THANK YOU!
This has bugged me for a while until I found your posting.

Hi all,
I have version 1.3.2.7 of the WIDCOMM BT Stack installed on my XP SP2 machine with a CSR Bluetooth USB adapter. I've tried searching on the CSR site for a bluetooth driver update but their site was a little confusing suffice it to say.
Does anyone have the new 1.4 version of the drivers that they're willing to upload?
Download from
Mitsumi's site
Works on my CSR BT stick!
the only question is, does this work with WinXP SP2?
@eabeukes: cheers for that, downloading now...
i'm having a hard time trying to install the widcomm stack for windows. can i get some help, pls?
the reason why i want to do this is because the normal windows stack won't allow me to use my Sony Ericcson HBH-65 as a headset for windows.
*windows = windows xp sp2
OK, a friend of mine recently bought a Toshiba Qosmio notebook with built in Bluetooth module. It runs Windows Vista Ultimate and Toshiba (no way! ) Bluetooth Stack. He's also got an hw6515, which he wants to use as a Bluetooth modem for the Qosmio. And here the fun begins.
When I try to pair the devices with express setup, Toshiba BT Stack sees only the PAN Profile on 6515. When using advanced setup it sees the DUN profile, then I select the COM port (default - COM40). After that, when I click Finish, it says that there is no modem installed. When I look up the modem list, I can only see "Toshiba Software Modem (COM3)", I then try to change the COM port to 40 (or any other I selected previously) and it says OK.
Now the connection. When I try to dial the number it says there's no modem installed. When I look at the modem list, there's only the "Toshiba Software Modem (COM3)". I've been using this with other Bluetooth enabled computers (with MS BT Stack and BlueSoleil) and it worked perfectly (installed itself as a Standard Bluetooth Modem, or something like this).
Anyone has some ideas, why doesn't it work on Toshiba BT Stack?
Problem fixed. Should anyone have the same problem, you have to get rid of this gay Toshiba Stack and install Bluetooth Monitor form Toshiba support page.
Hi All,
I have been trying to connect my TyTN II to my pc and use the headset profile on my pc as the bluetooth headset, but my phone doesn't see any of the services except for the Serial Port. Why is that happening or how can i get it to work?
Windows XP SP2
BlueSoliel bluetooth stack
Thanks for your help
My ThinkPad T41 laptop with the bundled Widcomm drivers on Windows XP SP2 offers the following profiles:
Serial Port
Dialup Networking
Headset
BlueSoliel is a really awful Bluetooth stack. See if the WIDCOMM drivers are available for your bluetooth card. If not, invest $20 or $30 on a bluetooth card that that has the WIDCOMM drivers. Its definitely worth it. BTW, don't use Vista, the included Bluetooth stack is almost as bad as BlueSoliel.
thanks guys for your help. I'll try to check if my bluetooth dongol supports widcomm drivers. For vista i am using the toshiba bluetooth stack that came with my laptop which i dont think supports either the Headset profile or the ActiveSync profile! :s
Toshiba/Microsoft/BlueSoleil BT stacks for desktops are all garbaggio. Widcomm is the only one to go with. If your dongle came with the BlueSoleil stack, it does not support any Widcomm stack. Do yourself a favor and invest in a Belkin class 1 dongle.
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.

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.
hi
i need to have a program to conect my mouse to my phone via bluethooh .
so if any body has this program
hi if you do a search here, you will find out that hd2 is not supporting bluetooth mices at all. some companies have announced drivers some time ago, but that's all.

BT mouse driver
teksoft releases a bluetooth winmobile HID suite:
it costs around 15$
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinput
take a look, i think, this is what you searched for.
Supposedly it does not work with the Broadcom stack in the HD2, only works with the Microsoft stack. Techsoftco hasn't been responsive to inquiries about blueinputbroadcom which is on their web page other than to say they are working on it.
