Have Windows XP SP3 and Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 installed.
Problem is that the ActiveSync will not connect to the Diamond via USB. These are the symptoms on connecting the USB cable:-
1) The "Connect to PC" window pops up on the Diamond, asking whether I would like to ActiveSync (sync with Outlook) or Disk Drive.
2) I choose either one and Diamond pops a dialog to declare that the device is connected.
3) ActiveSync on my pc goes into a "connecting..." attempt, but eventually throws out a "ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device" msg.
4) Diamond goes back into its Today screen, nothing happens.
I have tried :
1) disabling/uninstalling my firewall
2) checking/unchecking the Start->Settings->Connection->USB to PC->
"Enable advance network functionality" checkbox
3) Microsoft ActiveSync 4.2
4) a fresh install of windows.
****while I was at this I did manage to get ActiveSync to respond/connect seemingly for a while, during which I recall she popped up a msg saying that since I don't have MS Outlook installed, if I do proceed I can't sync contacts etc. I clicked cancel thinking I should install MS Outlook first since I do want to sync contacts, and I never managed to see this msg again****
Sorry for the lengthy post, appreciate any responses/help from gurus; noob.
I had the same problem with u also at 1st than reinstall Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
& tick Enable Advance network functionality
now ok liao
think u got to restart pc after u install Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Thanks but doesn't solve my problem, still.
Can I check what does you guys' Diamond show up as under Control Panel->System->Device Manager? If you look under Network Adaptors does it show up? Mine only shows up under Windows CE USB Devices->Pocket PC USB Sync. I recall that it should show up under Newwork Adaptors too?
forget to ask u did u install the prog for desktop which come with the cd?

Sorry, what CD/program? I only have a Windows Mobile Interactive CD.
**********
Damn found those CDs. But after installing the Outlook 2007 Trial, still nothing happens. What program for desktop should I be installing? The other CD seems to only contain those like applications and should not affect me?
sorry i forget wrongly.. try to install again & restart ur pc.. see how.. maybe restart ur diamond also
same problem here also

hello..i have the same problem..regardless of what i try it just wont sync..doesnt even
register ive connected my phone..installed..uninstalled..restarted the lot..so any ideas ?
i'm having similar problem. i'm using win xp sp2 and active sync 4.5. when i plugged my diamond to usb, the pc just showed "usb device not recognized" and it was recognized as "unknown device" in device manager.
i tried to uninstall the "unknown device" and reconnect diamond again. it worked but only once. after disconnect and reconnect again, it failed
i've tried using same cable and port for cruise and everything went smooth. dunno what it is...
replying back to my own thread.... i eventually managed to get it to work simply by changing the USB port I was using, not sure why at all.
I just got my diamond connected to my pc successfully. I simply used another usb cable.
Seems diamond is more sensitive to cable quality than other HTC devices.
HTC Diamond, problems with Windows Vista
I have so much problems syncing the Vista with the HTC Diamond. It took me one whole night and the program shows that it is halfway through the hotsync but nothing else happens. Uninstall and reinstall the Active sync programme on my Vista several times. Finally it works. The next day when I did a hotsync with my office computer nothing happens. After that when I got home Vista does not sync with my Diamond again. I do not know the problem is with Vista or my HTC Diamond... I wasted so much time troubleshooting..
I've found the solution. It had nothing to do with
Vista or with WMDC 6.1 it was a setting on my HTC S710. I removed the
following setting:
Step 1: Press Start
Step 2: Select settings
Step 3: Select (6) Connections
Step 4: Select (0) More
Step 5: Select (1) USB to PC
Changing the type of USB connection your device uses can help with problems
connecting ActiveSync.
Step 6: Disable the option - Enable advanced network functionality
Step 7: Press done 3 times
Step 8: Return to main screen.
Step 9: Uninstall unrecognized USB device in device manager (on PC)
Step 10: reboot Phone and reconnect
Hi, in my case it was the USB cable. I replaced the one I used for all my other WM devices before and now even the Diamond can connect.
Cheers,
Derek.
PS: problem and solution seen on both Vista and XP

Work for me too.
Tnx!
Hmm for those that tried and suddenly u got it once,but after that u disconnect and it disappear dont do anything extra!!!
Cos i got the same problem too! instead try to connect and remove it till u get it to sync again. It takes me the most 2 tries to get it to sync though..but if u try like maybe 5-6 times and it dont work..then i cant help sorry.
Btw i'm on Vista Home Premium 32 Bit.
This was what actually happened...i post this in another forum where people are having problems too.
"Hmm me having problems with syncing HTC diamond just now also. I'm on Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. I downloaded and installed the Window Mobile Device Centre(WMDC) 6.1 as they asked me to. WinXP its AutoSync 4.5. I connect and kind of expected this stupid syncing problems will happen to me like many others..zz.
I keep on trying to play with the checkbox in the USB to PC settings(To go there its Start>Settings>Connection Tab>USB To PC), people were saying if u uncheck the box it will sync already.But now my box is checked and it still can sync
Finally i got really fed up and piss..so i uninstall the stupid WMDC program totally without even plugging out the USB cable from my Diamond.Then i restart my pc, and i went to restore the USB to PC settings to ActiveSync with the tick in the checkbox. When Vista startup, i went for 1 last try haha...i just connect the diamond to my PC via the usb cable,and wow all the drivers start to install...and it sync LOL!!! And i go to control panel and was puzzled when WMDC was there even though i uninstalled it !!
And now its just sometimes i plugin it never detect but if i plug in and out ard 1-2times again it sync! I'm a happy man now"

Yes - that's it.
I had the same problems - ActiveSync worked worser and worser - and last week no synchronisation was possible at all.
ActiveSync doesn't open or when it's opened - the PC-ActiveSync stayed grey...
Now - new Cable - not from HTC - and it works fine from the first time on

I'm using XP SP3, ActiveSync 4.5.0 and it works fine. Of course after UNticking (disabling) the advanced network functionality. This advanced network functionality is designed for Vista, not for XP&ActiveSync.
Device manager:
In Device Manager I have the device listed with a separate entry directly from the root called "Windows CE USB Devices" and not under Network or other section. The driver provider is Microsoft and driver version is 4.0.4232.0 (06.10.2004). The driver file is wceusbsh.sys.
See the attached files.
I just don't remember from where I downloaded the driver, but for sure I did not used a CD/DVD delivered with Diamond.
issues synchronising
so i'm using activesync 4.5 with XP SP2 (i think) and i cant get my device to synchronise.
i connect it to the computer and it connects perfectly (i can explore the device and install files on it from my comp and all). It then starts trying to sync, however it never does. After an extended period of time it says "waiting for network" and then just stops synchronising - without actaully syncing any of my files! on the device it says "the server could not be reached. This could be caused by temporary network conditions" as the result and gives a support code of 0x80072EFF. it reports nothing ever synced.
It syncs with another computer in the house nicely -the comp is however ancient and we are getting rid of it! I'm sure its just a setting but i cant find it! Anyone?
Cheers guys!
Issue solved!
Not to worry i found the issue!
if this happens to anyone else this is the fix i found
"Fellow frustrated users I have worked out this issue. What happens is if you restore your computer or change files or link to another computer, Activesync creates multiple datasets on the device which must confuse the program.
With the phone disconnected from the computer, open Programs, ActiveSync, Menu, Options. If you use the scroll down bar, you will find all the datasets. I deleted all the datasets and let ActiveSync create a fresh connection."
Hi everybody,
It seems strange ,but after 2 weeks of good job,my Diamond can't sync
with an XP-laptop running Actisync 4.5 using bluetooth!!
My ROM is 1.37 WWE,working fine for all tasks....
Apparently the "ActiveSync service" is no more seen among the services after
pairing with laptop....
Cleared all relationship and rebooted the diamond.....nothing to do.
Other HTC devices (TYTN, Himalaya ,all with Windows mobile 6.1 work fine and syncronize via bluetooth...).
Please help me ..! I do not want hard-reset my diamond
Thanks
Have you updated your Xp to Sp3??
Search for Activesync Windows Sp3 there are several people thats having that issue.
I have had similar problems on both XP and Vista. You could try uninstalling your Bluetooth driver on your PC and rebooting. Your PC should re-install your Bluetooth drivers after reboot. Make sure the partnership is cleared from your handset and try to set up the relationship again.
If you are having the same problem I was having, then this should work for getting the two to talk to each other again. However, in my case, after I rebooted again, I would start getting "Port Not Available" errors on my Diamond.
I ended up installing the BlueSoleil bluetooth drivers on my PC and things are working much better now. If worse comes to worse, you can try them. You can run the trial version forever, but, it is limited to 5 MB transfers per session.
Good luck.
ActiveSync via bluetooth problem ...again
Thanks for all suggestions....
Yes ,i updated my Xp to SP-3,but it seems to be a "Diamond-problem" because if I use another 2 phones (HTC:TYTN-1 and Himalaya,both with Windows mobile 6.1) no problems occur when syncronizing with Xp laptop
via bluetooth........this is a matematically demonstration ,I think.....
Furthermore this problem occured just today ,while XP-SP-3 was installed 2 weeks ago.....
Thanks again
Giuseppe
Perhaps too simple, but did you activate "Transfer" (use to be called "Beam") as well? As being renamed on your Diamond it is easy to overlook.
To Rondol1
Hi Rondol1,
Maybe you mean "receive all beam" -in bluetooth settings....
Yes,sure,but it makes no difference....
Thanks
ActiveSync via bluetooth problem ...again-2
Using PHM_Registry_Editor I took a look inside:
HKLM_Sw_Microsoft_Bluetooth_Device_...._services_0001101-0000-ecc.ecc.
"name": Serial port (instead ActiveSync!) tried to change...but does not fix.
The curious is that "TYTN" -working correctly via Activesync-Bluetooth---
has the same string and values!!!! for all the other variables...
It is a mistery at the moment
Has nobody a solution for this yet?

Well, I am not certain this will answer the question. But I had the same problem defined here and I overcame it.
1.- I was finally able to pair computer and diamond: start the pairing process from the computer and use a long password like 8 char or more. (I used o use 4 digit one and did not work).
2.- once Paired, go to Activesync in the PC and enable COM port: - "My ActiveSync" must be listed and enabled in the PC BT devices with a COM#. -then enable that COM# in the ActiveSync Connection Config
3.- Go to DIAMOND ActiveSync, Menu - Connect via Bluetooth, and the Error Appears, "No activesync Device...", Click Yes and go to COM Ports ... "Click REFRESH" (this was the key hint) and an "Activesync" service should appear from the PC. Select it, and that's it. It worked for me.
Here's a funny troubleshooting tip. Apparently Windows media Player on your pc can interfere with Activesync. make sure its not running in the task manager before trying to sync.

Thank you cserran1.

Cant connect bluetooth to diamond
Im having problem when i try to pair my bluetooth device "MSI star key 2" with the Bluesoleil sofware program, whem ive typed in the 4,8, 10 digid passwords i get connected but just after 3 seconds i get disconnected again, can i be sometith with the "com 19" port.
i have tried uninstalling bluesoliel software and diffrent typed of bluetooth dongel but no luck
i have a siemens gigaset SL37 that connects fine with bluetooth and sync with my outlook contacts
Perfect
I have waded my way through multiple threads trying to figure out how to get Bluetooth to work on an XP SP3 PC with BlueSoleil and activesync 4.5 and a HTC Touch Diamond. I ended up catching this suggestion of 8 digit key, and used my phone number (all 11 digits) and that solved it. it now syncs without issues.
Thanks
Only thing working

i just posted a while ago in freya ROM's thread about this bluetooth issue and i chanced this thread. problem solved!
Hi,
Just got my xperia today, but I'm still new to Windows Mobile. I want to transfer media files to my phone from my mac, is there any software that can let me do this relatively easily like by drag and drop? My mac doesn't seem to even recognize the x1. Also, I have a 8gb microsd card already inserted into the phone, but it doesn't seem to recognize the memory at all. Any help would be great, thanks.
I don't have a mac, so can't help much, but there's one thing I can think of. you might have tried it already, but...
Did you try going into Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and setting this to "disk drive"? I would have thought that this makes the phone act just like a USB drive, so there wouldn't be a problem as long as the Mac can see standard USB sticks.
Active Sync certainly won't work, it being Microsoft Active Sync, but maybe as a USB "Drive" it might...
Hi ... You must use Missing Sync ... you can use it via USB or bluetooth ...
Bye.
The Missing Sync seems the most popular with Mac users - apparently really good:
http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software.html
I just use the Disk Drive option in USBtoPC.exe ...
Hey guys, thanks for the quick responses and help so far. The disk to drive has an issue because it needs a memory card to be inserted, and mine isn't being recognized for some reason. Oddly enough, whenever I unplug it from the miniUSB, the memory card suddenly becomes available. I downloaded the Missing Sync but I may have gotten a weird version or something(4.0 something) that was talking about a patch.
Feel really stupid about this. Is there any easy way to just drag and drop music and videos onto this phone?
Sync wth Mac
Hi Guys,
I am using a WM5.0 Dopod 838 Pro but looking to change to experia soon. I used eltima syncmate to sync my Dopod to my Mac. The freeware works great and IMHO, it is more stable than Missing Sync.
Cheers

What ROM are you running?
I will check the rom version in a second, but I remember that it was dated for the 29th of August. I got the x1 to mount as a disk drive, but I was confused about where to drag my media files for the media panel to recognize the stuff in my storage card. Not only that, but dragging and dropping was incredibly slow and I was only able to get 5-6 songs on to my phone before the lag became unbearable.
hey guys thanks for the help in the missing sync. New problem now lol. I transfered my music and vids to my memory card and the media panel read it fine. But my touchFLO3d manila HD can't seem to detect any media from the card at all. Is there any way to change this?
I got my Xperia on Friday and have spent the last 2 1/2 days trying to sync it with my Mac using Missing Sync. I was using MS V4.0.3 and then after upgrading to V4.0.4 and a hard reset (I think) things stopped working. The MS activity log said it couldn't connect to the sync client on the X1 (I also couldn't sync my old Dell Axim X51v either). I tried uninstalling and re-installing multiple times but still no success. After 2 days, I binned MS thinking it was the problem and purchased Eltima's SyncMate. Again same result, couldn't connect with the sync server.
After much googling if found the following post (http://forums.markspace.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5349) in Mark Spaces forums of all places. Copied and pasted the commands into Terminal restarted and everything is fine. Good old Apple.
Hi,
Using SyncMate right now with my new X1.
I'm using the free version, so far contact syncing is ok with the only problem being certain number fields in Mac's Addressbook not showing up in the phone. But this is pretty common problem among all Mac <-> WM syncing. Just need to play around with the info fields in Mac Addressbook.
Right now the problem is the internet sharing to the phone is not working (sharing Mac's LAN connection to the phone). I know this used to work when I was using the same copy of SyncMate with a WM 5.1 Palm Tero I had borrowed. So far SyncMate doesn't seem to show the dialogue box that it discovered a internet connection and is sharing it with the phone.
Of course the Mac has working internet connection.. I'm using it now...
Any help and advice on this issue or any other Mac <-> WM tips are welcome!
As was said above, I use syncmate on my wifes. I used to use missing sync but it didn't always seem to recognise teh phone and had limited features. So I use Syncmate now. Have also tried pocketmac whcih was similar. Both softwares allow you to sync files, contacts, calander, install softwares adn will also mount the phoen as a hardisc on your mac without stopping eth phone from still being able to access it (if you put it into usb disc mode the phone no longer has access to teh memory card untill you disconnect). They can also connect wireless, usb or bluetooth.
I'd try either of the above instead of missing sync. Missing sync just didn't do the job well enough if you ask me.
As for the internet conenction issue, mine just works......have you checked teh connection settings in teh actual phone?
Hi
I tried using the free version of Syncmate with my Xperia, it doesnt recognize my phone. I am using the latest R2 ROM version. Any help ???
thanks!
internet
can please somebody help me, i have a mac and se x1 and i cant connect on internet from my mac via x1 i tried everything over usb, bt, internet sharing, sync mate , nothing works please help.
p.s. sorry about my English
This has been posted in this forum before but here it is again … I've never successfully used my X1 as a broadband modem via USB (it has something to do with ActiveSync, I think however, I use my X1 as a modem all the time using BT).
For a BT connection:
1. Pair your X1 and Mac (using the OS X BT preference panel)
2. On the X1 start Internet Sharing - PC CONNECTION should be set to BLUETOOTH PAN and NETWORK CONNECTION to whatever your ISP requires - SELECT CONNECT down in the task bar (bottom left) - should now say CONNECTED.
3. On your Mac open the BT Preference Panel from System Preferences or the clicking on the BT status icon in the menu bar (top right of screen). Click on your Xperia device (to select it) in the left-hand side-bar. Its status should be displayed in the right-hand panel (paired - yes; connected - no). Click on the task button (the one with the cogged wheel next to the minus button, bottom left-hand corner of the BT preference panel and select CONNECT TO NETWORK - status should change to connected.
4. To disconnect - select disconnect in the task bar of Internet Sharing on the phone or disconnect from network in the Mac's BT preference panel.
The process has to be done in this order. If you don't connect to the internet with the phone first, the process fails.

Sync Xperia with mac
Hi everyone, new to the forum so bear with me. I've recently acquired the software "The Missing Sync" to be allowed to edit and fix up my phone through my mac. When I plug in my phone, the computer only recognizes it as a mass storage device and the program will not detect it. Do I need to update the firmware on the phone to up to date with the most current version of The Missing Sync? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
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
Willem
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*
hi guys,
i have a problem concerning the sync of my x1 via bluetooth connection...means that i can establish a bt partnership. but when i hit "connect via bluetooth" in the x1s activesync it says that it cant establish a connection to a activesync-supporting pc. an wheter i want to establish a bt-partership with another device. when i hit yes i can search for another device. when i search a again for a bluetooth fitted device it (of course) shows me my pc.
the weird thing: at first launch of the x1 it worked via bt!!!
I checked the services:
x1: Active Sync is activated...
in bt-settings on my pc: ActiveSync Bluetooth Service is also activated and OBEX. In the windows mobile device center the setting is: allow connections via: bluetooth. I also can choose IR and COM 3.
i tested if bt works by sending a (jpeg)file from the x1 to my pc...this is no problem.
cant figure the problem out. why can i transfer files but not sync via windows mobility center...crazy crazy...hope you can help me!
thanks a lot guys!
trekkie2003
seems like i have this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-347472.html
i have tried to connect with following settings:
PC:
- Windowsmobility center: allow connections via com6
- bluetoothdriversettings: services "ActiveSync Bluetooth Service" is enabled!!! I also added incoming (serial) com connection on port 6 (com6)
X1 activesync: - services enabled: serial connection. Under COM-Connections there is an outgoing connection on com6...
as you can see no service "activesync" in the service list...but as alreade told the service "serial connection"
the problem still exists and active sync on my x1 gives me that error message:
"cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a pc that supports activesync..."
hope for some helpful advice...

trekkie
after numerous faq and forum post i figured out that the service on the x1 has to be "ActiveSync". it wont work with the "serial connection" service enabled! An in my case a only get the activesync service when i choose "allow connections via: bluetooth" in windowsmobile device center... but problem still exists..."cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a pc that supports activesync..."
you should not make the outgoing com on the pda
the guides they have here
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?ContentId=3163
are still pretty valid seen from the pda's side
or you can google for other guides which step by step explain it on the
vista platform but
your issue is the way you set it up
thx rudegar for your reply and the link...
this was just a try with making an outging port on my pda...there is NO outgoing port added in my pda!!
i only set windowsmobile device center to com3 (allow connections via com3) and the incoming port of the pcs' btstack to com3...checked services on pda and pc...on both sides "active sync" is enabled! but problem still exists...
as my problem unfortunately isnt solved...to make sure nothing is interfering with bt stuff on vista i rebooted my pc. rechecked all settings. WMDC automatically reset the connection to Bluetooth! i changed it again to com3 as my btstack incoming port is also port 3.
i took a screenshot of the settings on my pc...(settingspc.jpg, see attachment)...
as i dont know how to make screenshots of my pda i can only tell you the settings of my pda....so i continued on my pda: active sync=> connect via bt => "error message: cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a pc that supports activesync..." => adding my pc to bt devices =>checking services on pda: only serial connection service...re-checked the services on pc... activesync is enabled (as you can see in the image)...
wmdc resets the connection settings to bt on every windows startup to bt!!! i downloaded a guide from toshiba für vista @winmo6. I did it exacetly the way they went through it like me!
btw. tried it also again with com6...but...no way... im starting to get really anoying about this...
I never had any problems with any of my WM 6-6.1 devices on my Vista64 system.. I have bluetooth in "Allow connections to one of the following" selection. No serial ports needed in WM device or in Vista...
But Before you sync, open the Windows Mobile Device Center on your Vista Computer!!!
Now open Activesync in your X1. Then just choose connect by bluetooth in WM Activesync App!!
Good Luck
Stuart
thats the way it worked at first launch!! just activated bt and here we go...no need chang com ports... maybe i should hard reset the x1 but i hate to re-install all programms i have on my device again as PIMbackup only saves contacts, calendar but not installed progams...
Hi
please can somebody explain to me how to connect my x1 via bt
I read many threads and still have a problem
I'm using windows XP SP3
thank you bye
my solution
I'm using ActiveSync over BT (R10 rom, Vista Laptop) but not really without problems...
For the 1st connection X1 never get's connected to Lappi. My Solution:
Make BT on Local Maschine unvisible, then again visible and after that on X1 -> ActiveSync -> Connect over BT.
What I don't like at all, ist that my BT on Laptop has to be visible:/ and compared to Nokia N95 (how there is working BT synch) the ActiveSync on WM6.1 is really crap.
Hope it can help you.
Best,
Mag
I did that but my X1 show me massege that cannot find partnership and I'm sure I have partnership
I use the COM method but I don't know how to select incoming port in my X1 I have only outgoing port
any idea please
same
I had same problem till 1 Week ago. I could not get rid of this message... finally I've flashed my X1 to the latest R10 ROM. Till now it works.
BTW: The R10 Rom is really the fastest I've ever tried on my Xperia (mp4 Videos without played without freezes and lauder music/tones). Maybe it is worth for you to do the upgrade too.
Best,
Mag
Quick reply without reading all your details, but maybe this will help.

Thank you for help
I was don't know about new ROM

I had the same problem with broadcom bluetooth. I downloaded new driver for my PC, upgraded, and after that I saw "activesync" service in my bluetooth services. I set COM (COM6) and synchro works fine now
Try to upgrade PC drivers.
