Hey everyone!!
Did anyone manage to connect his HTC Wings via Bluetooth to the PC and Sync it with WMDC?
It works with cable but not Bluetooth (BL).
I appreciate comments.
Thanks

It worked pretty easy on my S730. Make sure you enable BT on the phone and your computer. Pair the PC with the S730 and start ActiveSync on your mobile. Select the option 'Connect via Bluetooth' and that was it (for me).
you seem to be using activesync, however i use windows mobile device center with windows vista x32... so the procedure is different and much more problematic it seems... not just with the s730 but with all wm devices

I use Windows Vista Business (32-bit) and I needed to upgrade Mobile Device Center. It works without any problems afterwards. The only disadvantage is that I need to manually connect on my phone, before it starts synchronizing. I would rather have it syncronized whenever it is near my laptop.
it doesnt work for me. bluetooth is turned on in both devices.
does anyone have any suggestions?
i have the toshiba bluetooth stack software, do you use that too??
I had the same problem. Open you WMDC and go into Mobile Device Settings and select Connection Settings. Under Allow connection to one of the following: change the selection from Bluetooth to COM7.
Then open your device and set up your bluetooth connection again. You should see Activesync now.
You are most likely using the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack instead of WIDCOMM.
IT IS NOT WORKING
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
this is so STUPID
when i try to set up on my phone then it says "you have no partner for activeysnc, get one?"
i say YES and choose my computer
then i can select a port a one point and i CANT select 7
whats the solution!=?!
From your response I think you are trying to set the COM port on your device but you should be changing it in Windows Mobile Device Center.
I'll go step by step in case I was not clear.
1- Disconnect your Wing from your computer.
2- Open Windows Mobile Device Center
3- The only option should be "Mobile Device Settings"
4- In Mobile Device Settings you should have two option Connection Settings and End a partnership, select Connection Settings.
5- Under the second check box "Allow connection to one of the following" there is a drop-down box which should currently read "Bluetooth". In the drop-down box change that selection to COM7.
Note: If COM7 is not available, then I suggest you uninstall your Bluetooth device drivers and then reinstall them.
6- Close Windows Mobile Device Center
Now return to your device.
Delete any existing Bluetooth connections to your computer. and reestablish your Bluetooth connection. You don't need to change any COM settings on your device. Just establish your connection and you should have the Activesync option once it is reconnected.
This is under the assumption that you are running the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack on your computer. If you are and it doesn't work, I'm all out of ideas.
I should have specified that as of Step 2 above, this is all done on your computer not your smartphone, i.e. HTC Wings.
Your problem with Bluetooth is on the computer not the device, most likely.
this doesnt work... i did all the things like u told me on the computer.
then i go to my phone and try to connect from activesync via bluetooth and it says that no computer with a partnership could be found?? even though i actually made bluetooth partnership with my pc. when i added my pc to my bluetooth devices list on my HTC it told me that my pc supported 2 services: stereo audio and com port. i ticked com port... it doesnt seem to help.
on my pc, when i open the bluetooth stack software from toshiba i can see my phone has a partnership with my pc. but it has a network symbol on it.. is this supposed to be like that? ah this is so frustrating? any suggestions?
The only difference I see between your set up and mine is that I don't have a connection appearing on my computer.
So when you open your Bluetooth Settings on the computer, I don't have a saved connection with my Smartphone. The only place I see a connection between my computer and my device is on the device itself.
So my last suggestion is to delete both connections. The one on your computer and then the one on your device.
Open your device and reestablish a connection from your device to your computer. You will be asked to enter the password on your computer but when you open your Bluetooth Settings, you may not see a saved connection.
Also, go back and make sure that in Windows Mobile Device Centre, the connection is for COM7 and has not reverted back to Bluetooth. What you described has only ever happened on my computer when the connection was not set to COM7.
Something currious happened with my device when I was reestablishing my Bluetooth connection, which may be of interest to you.
I erased my original Bluetooth connection and while reestablishing it my device was also connected to my computer with the USB cable. When I paired the device, there was no option for ActiveSync. I disconnected my device and then started the Bluetooth pairing over and this time ActiveSync was available.
Does this help?
Any of you guys who have sucessfully pairedd WDMC in Vista with S730 over bluetooth use original MS out-of-box bluetooth drivers?
I've only used the Toshiba and Widcomm Bluetooth Stacks and have been able to sync with both on Vista.

there is the problem: "You will be asked to enter the password on your computer but when you open your Bluetooth Settings, you may not see a saved connection."
because as soon as i enter the bluetooth password on my phone and computer, there appears a bluetooth connection in the manager from toshiba. this connection has a "network" symbol and the services offered are com port and stereo audio. thats not much is it? and also when i click "connect" an error comes up.. connection couldnt be established or something.
i hate this. how can be a SIMPLE task so problematic?
toshiba drivers are working fine. send and receive works. and my phone is fine too. the wmdc work fine as well via USB. i also installed the wmdc UPDATE..... wtf right?!
Hey A.Bagatov,
I'm at a complete loss to understand why you can't get WMDC to work with your phone over BT. You've done everything I've done but unlike you I was able toe stablish the connection.
The only other thing I can think of is to download the latest BT drivers from Toshiba. But before you install them, make a copy of the TosBtChk.dll file and once you've completed the installation of your new BT drivers, replace the new TosBtChk.dll with the one you saved. This will stop you from receiving the trial period notification.
If that doesn't work, then maybe replace your Toshiba BT stack with the Widcomm stack. You'll need to locate a version compatible with your computer.
i would like to get widcomm and get rid of the problems.
so where can i get the widcomm stack? and how do i figure out if its compatible with my laptop?
its sony vaio

You have to understand Widcomm is not a free replacement for your MS drivers. Its commercial and it can only be obtained with some BT hardware, not as stanalone product AFAIK. As that, it is a bit complicated to make it work with unsupported device (but quite possible). And where to get it? Generally, if you are able to pirate, you are also able to google.
However, I assume you have legal OS installed on your Sony laptop - why not to tell MS they BT drivers SUCK A BIG TIME? Go tell them its crap that does not EVEN WORK TOGETHER WITH THEIR OWN UTILITIES.

I've also got a Sony Vaio, SZ45, and on the Notebook Review forum, there is a thread that discusses replacing the Toshiba BT stack with Widcomm, which you can get free of charge. The thread offers a modified file which should be sufficient to enable Widcommon your laptop. Here's a link to the general forum http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8

Microsoft are not the developers of the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack, it's owned by Broadcom. It can be obtained for free, however, you're right in saying it may not work with non-Broadcom hardware. In A.Bagatov's case, the issue is with Toshiba not Microsoft. They are the one's who developed a driver that is not always compatible with non-Toshiba products.
According to other posts I've, the Microsoft generic Bluetooth drivers would appear to work just fine with Windows Mobile devices, however, I was unable to get it working and did not pursue the matter any further once I was able to get the Toshiba BT Stack to function.
I can sympathize with your frustration, but your post does not help him solve his problem.
if I ad my HTC diamond Touch too my windows vista laptop with Bluetooth,
my laptop want´s to install a driver "Bluetooth Peripheral divice"
but my laptop does not find this driver.
My Laptop is a Dell xps m1330
need help please, sorry for my bad Englisch
did u ever find a solution to ur issue i have the same problem
hmm, i just got an XPS M1530, ill have a look now
(first time using bluetooth on it )
my laptop found the driver, maybe check on the dell website to see if there are any updates? i got my laptop on friday so i'd like to hope i have the latest software, maybe yours is outdated or something?
F**** Vista
same problem but other machine(I think that the bluetooth dongle is the same- Broadcom) : Samsung R560, Vista 32bit Home Premium
When I try to connect my Diamond, Vista asks me for Installing Bluetooth Peripheral Device...There´s no possiblitlity to find one at the computer and even the German HTC Support doesn´t have any idea (but the Support-Guy didn´t seem to have any knowledge about pc´s )
The strange thing is, that the Laptop and the device are connected after entering the access-code, but no services are available.
Therefore guys, you´re my one and only hope (yes, I also accept an advice of a woman ) Please help me....
Hey Guys, I am new to XDA Forums. Its a great place to be for Windows Mobile Users. Coming to the point, here is the solution for the problem that all of you are facing. I am telling the steps according to Windows Vista as i am running it as my only OS. If anybody faces this problem on Windows XP, i hope the steps will be quiet same, otherwise contact me by PM.
The Bluetooth peripheral device that Vista detects is the "Windows Mobile-based Device Support" device. It should be configured properly when Windows Mobile Device Center (Sync Center) is installed but it somehow gets messed up. I think Micorosoft will soon release a patch for this problem. Anyways for now, do this:
1. Install Windows Mobile Device Center that comes on the Companion CD with your phone if you haven't already done so. Even if you have installed it, open Programs and Features from Control Panel and repair the installation. I am using a HTC P3400i and my CD comes with versions for XP and Vista both.
2. The first step may solve your problem automatically. If it doesn't, however, Right Click on Computer Icon and Choose Manage.
3. Goto Device Manager. You'll see an Unknow Device named Bluetooth Peripheral Device. Double Click it to open its properties.
4. Click "Reinstall Driver" on the first tab.
5. Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software" button.
6. Click "Let Me Pick from a List of Device Drivers on my computer".
7. Now the next page will show a list of drivers with Company Names in one list and Drivers in another. In the Company List choose Microsoft Corporation, not only Microsoft. Please confirm this twice that you dont choose Micorosoft but Micorosoft Corporation.
8. Now in the drivers list there may be one or more drivers with the name "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support" with different driver versions. I cant tell you which will work for you, but start with the newest version.
9. Click next. Ignore any warnings and keep pressing next and then Finish at last. If all goes well, the last screen will show the message that device driver is properly installed.
If the last screen shows that device is nto configured properly or The device could not start then repeat the above steps choosing a different driver version this time.
I sincerly hope that this will solve the problem that all of you are facing. It has worked for me, atleast.
Hey, many thanks for you turtorial !
Unfortunately, it didn´t work for me, my pc can´t detect the services of my HTC TOUCH DIAMIND and also other way round. Hope that windows will fix this bug because it is neither the fault of my bluetooth dongle nor the one of my device...
Bluetooth problem "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" driver Fixed Windows 7 and Vista.
Thanks a lot, it works on my Windows 7 and also without problems in windows vista.
Your method worked on Windows 7 x64, thanks.
still can't fix it
I have win7 x64, but I can't find "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support" driver.
I've repaired WMDC. And I've tried other drivers. I'm attaching a screenshot. Most of the device is accounted for, but the "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" is not working for my HD2 or my TP2. I know this is the Diamond Thread, but I'm sure it's going to be the same solution in the end.
I've not had many problems between my laptop and the 2 phones, but under certain circumstances, then don't want to communicate. I usually find a "work around", but if anyone has other ideas... I'm all ears.
so I did all of this and the first driver listed worked. the problem is that I still cannot get it to connect to the internet.
just to give the pertinent info.
I have an HTC t-mobile us version hd2. I am trying to get the cell phone to act as my internet when I am using my laptop.
at home I have wi-fi and when I am out and around I will use the hotspots when available but at times I have neither so I would really like to have the phone get my laptop onto the internet.
the above link got me the device driver but I still cannot get it to connect to the internet.
my laptop is running windows 7. can anyone help?
thanks in advance.

you lost me on 7. after "Let Me Pick from a List of Device Drivers on my computer" it asked me to select device type. i selected mobile devices. then it took me to the window to pick the manufacturer. i found HTC among the manufactures, but all drivers were for USB Sync. could you clearify 7 and explain how to get to 8 please.
THANK YOU!
why dont you get the app that allows you to use your phone as a wifi hotspot then you can just link to it via wireless saves you the hassle sorting all the bluetooth stuff out then
@badguy8: got similiar problem on W7 but now it's fixed:
7a) choose All devices - instead of Mobile Devices
7b) instead of Microsoft Corporatin choose (Standard Windows Mobile devices) - yes it's written inside () so you'll find it at the beginning of the list
8) ...there you can find the required driver and continue as above
...
hope that helps
EDIT: it only worked when my HTC HD2 had been connected via USB during driver instalation....
solution here in this link. it worked for me !

great
it works on win7 x64 realy great
working here on win7
If you are using windows 7 and trying to connect your mobile phone as the bluetooth device then it might show blutooth peripheral device driver error as Windows 7 does not support A2DP and mobile phones generally come with A2DP. But third party software can connect your bluetooth mobile phone with windows 7. One of such freeware software is Medieval Software Bluetooth FTP.
Having this problem:
When device is connected to any PC, nothing is detected at either end. Nothing happens (except power to the phone).
Tried switching between activesync and disc drive modes, with or without advanced network functionality, but the problem is prior to that.
I have to say these WM devices are pretty unreliable, I've had USB problems on more than one of them, compared with none on any other usb device.
Grateful for any help.
when you say you change modes, do you mean that you change it in the settings or when you connect the USB a screen pops up?
I am having the same issue. My phone is basically useless, I don't have warranty to send it back to HTC either.
Many people are having issues with connecting with Windows 7. I think there are solutions, but most of those people don't post replies when they solve their problems...
I have been able to connect to Windows XP, then suddenly one day it stopped for no apparent reason. So I don't think the OS is the problem in this case.
how about your guys try to checke the windows firewall setting first?
on the exception list, make sure all related activesync task are selected.
then try again.. hope that help
Tried that - in fact, turned off my firewall entirely - still no luck.
Device connects, and comes up as an "unknown device". Nothing else in Windows 7 sees it - not WMDC, or File Explorer, or anything.
This is really disappointing - how can a Windows Mobile device not work at all with a Windows OS?
i also have my firewall turned off, even worse thing is that the computer doesn't even recognize that a device has been plugged.
Same here, shaks 4.3 ...
I can't believe that Windows has this device listed as compatible with Windows 7. It isn't working, period.
mine stopped connecting to vista one day but would charge. I went an got another usb to mini usb cord at the PX and plugged it in and it now connects with my laptop and my mac. replace your cord before you start hard reseting.

I've tried several cords... but thanks for the advice.
i contacted HTC and asked them how much for repair w/o warranty, this is their response:
We apologize for any issues you are experiencing with your device and would be happy to assist. While warranty coverage would depend on a diagnosis by one of our certified technicians, based on the problems symptoms you have provided, costs for repairs could range from approximately $373.00 to $428.00. Please contact Customer Care at 1-888-617-1113 for service options and to set up an RMA for repair if desired.
this is hilarious, fking HTC ppl make sh*t w/ no technical support and charge ridiculous for repairs. i dont know what they thinking
had the same problem...tried everything to fix. i am with Verizon. Went to my Verizon store. They called in for me which resulted in Verizon sending my a replacement (refurb) which ironically(?) turned out to have a different issue. Back to store...another call...sent me a brand new diamond. everything ok so far. don't deal with htc....go to your carrier.
I've done a hard reset on my diamond, but the usb problem remains. Now I'm thinking it's a mechanical problem. I'll try and clean out the hole somehow and see if that helps.
I'm using windows 7 64 bit and the latest Windows Mobile device Centre with the Windows Firewall on and I have no problems connecting my HTC HD and Diamond.
To all of you who still struggle on UBS connection.
Here's my solution based on reading forums for almost two weeks and trying hundreds of settings. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.
First you have to set regional settings on both PC and device on English.
1. Make suse you select ONLY ActiveSync under Settings/All Settings/Connections/USB to PC/ NO OTHER SELLECTIONS.
2. Tick "When the device is turned on, do not ...." under Settings/System/Power ( later, when establish connection for couple times you can uncheck it)
3. If Using NOD 32 disable Treat Sence and Disable detection of Potentionaly dangerous programs ( if using other antivirus disable similar options - they block connections they think are dangerous)
4. On your PC Uninstall ALL USB controlers and Hubs.
5. On Your device on home screen check and stop all programs running.
6. Turn OFF PC.
7. Connect USB cable to PC USB port and to phone.
8. Turn on PC and wait untill Windows instals all the usb stuff. If everything is OK Windows should recognize and install HTC PPC .... The WMDC or ActiveSync should start automatically. IF not start it manually and disconnect and connect usb cable on ppc. Wait untill it connects and HAVE FUN !!!
First couple of times you should be carefull not to move the phone or cable so you wont lose connection.
Hope this helps others, since I managed to get it work for myself.
Happy New Year to all of You!
will try this tomorrow,
btw, what's NOD32 and WMDC?
thanks for the post
OS -> Windows 7
PPC-> Mobile 6.1
Unchecked the "Enable advanced network functionality" box.
Until that it would connect just under Disk Drive option, Now it runs just fine with active sync too. Thank you
Dear all,
sorry if this is repost.
i found it quite trouble for me, as my TYTN II suddenly stop syncing with my notebook.
it shown Microsoft ActiveSync can't recognize any port plug to TYTN ii, even if it can't sync with notebook active sync, but the phone still able to charge via USB port, anyone experience this before?
fortunately my Tytn II still able to sync via Bluetooth connection, but NOT via USB port.
Some recommended action that i've run so far:
1. uninstall & re-install microsoft activesync 4.5
2. change usb port
3. change with different notebook with activesync 4.5
4. hard reset my device
5. flash to another ROM via USB
6. etc
after doing all the thing, but the problem still there, only able to sync via Bluetooth connection.
hope anyone could give me a clue here.
thx & rgds,
What OS are you running on your notebook ?
Activsync for Windows XP and earlier
Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista, Wimdows 7
I am using Windows XP SP3 and using Microsoft Active Sync 4.5.0 build 5096
I also have tried into Windows Vista Home premium,
and couple hours ago I've tried to sync my friend O2 and it was successfull syncing with his device, and then I re-tried to sync with mine, but no hope
any clue really appreciate that
Try going to the "USB to PC" settings on your phone (probably under Settings>Connections) and unchecking "Enable faster data synchronization."
hmm, I've tried that before and still no luck,
do you think any possible hardware failure
It's possible that you have a hardware failure. However, that seems unlikely if you can flash using USB and it can connect to those other systems. Two other trivial things to try:
1) Try a different cable
2) Is "Allow USB Connections" checked in File>Connections Settings in ActiveSync? (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, just covering the bases)

it's okay... i am looking for clue not for arguing
anyway, i've done that
1) already try 3 different cable, the last one i tried is with two devices my tytn ii and my friend O2
2) already done that too, been trying uncheck/check "Allow USB connection" in Microsoft Activesync in my Ms XP SP3 notebook.
btw flashing via SD card is applicable because it's not related with USB port right
regards,
I'm having a very similar problem. I have 2 Kaisers, one factory AT&T ROM WinMobile 6.1 and the other running a cracked 6.5 ROM.
Two computers, one Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and a desktop running XP w/SP3 32 bit.
About a month ago all phones stopped syncing to all computers. I just get a "Unrecognized USB device" error on both computers using either phone.
Does Anyone know if MS released a USB driver update that may be causing this? I have tried every possible phone setting listed on the web, uninstalled activesync on XP and nothing seems to work. It really feels like a Windows USB issue to me. Just my gut feeling.
Doug
I have one more stab in the dark. Plug in your phone, open the device manager on your computer. There should be a device category called "Windows CE USB Devices." Expand that category, right click on the device in that category and uninstall it. Unplug your phone and plug it in again. This should reinstall the device driver. I'm guessing that the original drive got corrupted somehow.

I had a similar problem as the original poster, and it turned out to indeed be a hardware problem. The SD-card reader was faulty, and ActiveSync would not recognize the phone while an SD-card was plugged in (Nor would WM5Torage work). Removing and reinstalling drivers did not work either. The SD-card was fine, when tested in a PC reader and my Touch HD, so I figured it had to be the kaiser.
I fixed this *today* by replacing the PCB in the display part of the kaiser. Part costs about $40 (Search for item ID 380187854526 on eBay to see which part)
The disassembly/assembly instructions required are in the service manual, available at a dozen places online.
Hope this helps! (Couldn't post links )
Hi,
I just bought a Bluetooth dongle for my PC. (Trust Ultra Small Bluetooth 2.1 Usb Adapter 25 M)
The main reasons for buying this was so I could sync without using one of my very spare USB ports.
Another big reason was that I really want to try SideShow.
So, I hooked the thing up, installed it. Works like a charm for most services (files etc). It just doesn't work for two things: ActiveSync (on the phone)/Windows Device Center (on my PC) and Windows SideShow. Yay.
Could you please help me out?
To summarize:
PC with Vista Home Premium,
Trust Ultra Small Bluetooth 2.1 Usb Adapter 25 M,
HTC S730.
Not working for ActiveSync nor SideShow.

PS: I installed something called "X86-PC Drivers.cab" I found in some thread. That's supposed to be the drivers for the SideShow service on the PC. (I think I installed them, I did not get an error from Rundll32...)
EDIT: what might be of use: I can't get the devices to pair if I use the PC to initiate that. The PC does not find the phone untill I pair them using to phone to initiate.
I don't know about SideShow but I managed once to ActiveSync my Wings through Bluetooth. Just be sure to remove any security restricition on your Bluetooth settings on your device. Like Secure Connection etc... Also, setup a serial port when you connect with your PC and then, at PC ActiveSync settings, at connection settings -> Allow Connections To One Of The Following (Com 4 or whatever). And then, at ActiveSync on your mobile, connect through Bluetooth. Try it and come again if it doesn't work.
Yes! Thank you. It's syncing as I type. That COM4 did the trick!
In the same way, you can have Internet on your mobile through Bluetooth's activesync connection. It is helpful if you don't have wifi on your mobile.
