Hs anyone here successfully synced their WM6 himalaya with Windows Vista over bluetooth?
I am trying to sync my device with Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 in Vista over bluetooth but whenever i try to click on "Connect Via Bluetooth" in ActiveSync found in my device i get following error on my device:
"Cannot communicate with the PC because of the following Remote Networking error (Error 608)
Please reconnect your device if problem persists, restart the device."
I have tried both the roms i.e. helmi_c & c_shehkar's rom but couldnt get to sync my device over bluetooth with Vista. Previously i had a WM5 rom on my device and it synced with Vista flawlessly over bluetooth.
Can anyone help me on this matter???
In the file After_You_Flash.txt you can read:
"Once the device comes to life after hard reset for the first time, goto Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC and check the advance network functionality.
If you dont do this the device shall refuse get conncted to PC via USB."

can you syncing WM6 via BT with WINXP?
It's not working with me too on XP
Well, it was never working for me - on any OS - WindowsMobile wasn't detecting ActiveSync service on my PC via BT

Himalaya WM 5.0 was syncing just fine via BT ActiveSync.
WM 6.0 is not (yet).
Sascha
I cant even sync it using my USB cradle eventhough i have tried what was written in after_you_flash.txt. I am using Vista and is WMDC 6.1 is installed on Vista which is supposed to work with WM6. The problem is when i connect it thru USB, Vista fails to install a proper driver for it.

Seriously, I can't help, there're so many problems with so many apps on Vista...

utak3r the problem is that i cant do that since i am a WPF developer and need Vista for it. I kno WPF applications are possible on XP too but we as developers look forward to next-gen technologies.
All i wish is that our masters here somehow get this thing to work over bluetooth.. I wish them best of luck!!
hi

There Might be a solution..Only if u have XP installed on 1 of the partition..u can search the drivers in that partition
i can sync just fine with bt over vista using wm6...just had to make a new outgoing serial port on the ppc.
Using microsoft stack on both devices.
Syncing BT with Vista and WMDC
Have a look at this link. Its for WM5 but I used it with WM6 successfully.

Good luck
conecting ppc (wm6) to vista via BT solution
A few months ago, I posted on some forums this solution of my own, that enables conection vista pc and wm6 ppc via BT:
OW TO CONNECT WMDC AND PPC ON VISTA
1.-run bt on your pc
2.-run bt on your ppc
3.-bond your pc and ppc via bt, that will require password on both devices
4.-once connected, your pc will show some services your ppc is offering: activesync, voice gateway, obex, etc. and will allow you to configure some of them. you can see that because under each configurable service there is a button named configure. your pc assings by default one specific com port to activesync service, that may vary depending on free com ports available on your pc. you can see the assigned port clicking on configuration button. on the new window, you can see COM PORT, and one number. For our purposes, let´s suppose it is COM5
5.-run wmdc software, modify connections and mark on "allow bluetooth connection", which is not marked by default. close wmdc.
6.-old activesync program allows to choice com port to connect to. wmdc does not. it must be set modifing windows vista registry. so, run regedit and look for the key HKLM\software\microsoft\windows ce services\serial port. this key has usually the value "bluetooth" (without quotes). well, modify it, delete bluetooth and write COM5. (or any other com port your pc has assigned to activesync). notice that we are modifing SERIAL PORT, that means wmdc uses this service to connect.
7.-close regedit and reboot pc in order to allow changes in the registry.
8.-run again bt on both devices.
9.- run "add new bluetooth devices" on your pc. it will show again your ppc and services it provides, including activesync. configure again activesync service, and check out com port is still the same as before. in this configuration window, you will notice you can modify the NAME of the service, that is "activesync" (without quotes). well, change it, and write Serial Port.
10.-run again wmdc and it will connect to your ppc
what have we done?
1.-activesync ppc service is connected to pc using COM5
2.-wmdc is using serial port on COM5
3.-we change the name of activesync ppc service to serial port service
4.-both running on com5.
OK, I searched and searched, followed all the MS instructions and I cannot get VISTA ( Biz edition ) to connect to my (HTC branded) Kaiser.
The "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote adapter" driver does show up under Network Adapter in Device Manager but WMDC is oblivious to the USB attached device...
Any ideas ?
I remember the first time I connected mine in the exact same setup it took like 10 minutes to find it.
Try running windows update with your kaiser plugged in. If your missing a driver or something it should be able to find and install it.
Sorry guys,
My mistake .. did not have USB connection enabled on Activesync on the phone.
Thanks for your help!
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.
Anyone know how to sync with Windows 7???
I've tried to install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it don't recognize my phone.. And ActiveSync won't even be installed due to compability reasons. (Doh, it's Win7)
I really like Win7, so it would be great to sync the phone
Try another cable or something, the mobile center should work.

But the mobile is charging =/ So i don't think something is wrong with the cable and it worked just fine in XP (ActiveSync). And when I connected the mobile first time, the PC recognized it and installed the drivers for the mobile and the ActiveSync started on the mobile. Should it start on the phone when mobile center is running on the PC?
So does that mean you didn't try anothe cable? Because if you had researched this sort of thing (aka searched) you would find that the cables do this quite often.

i don't know what is the issue for you as i have win7rc1 and i can sync fine using the mobile device center.
If you are using 64bit Windows 7 then you need to download the updated drivers for the HTC. I am not sure exactly where Microsoft has these located, but it automatically downloaded and installed the new USB drivers that it needed just the other day for me......
Works excellent. I was using the 32 Bit version of Windows 7 before this and even though its based under Vista couldn't get it to synch up.
I have Win7 64 bit...with internet already established through another source, when I plugged in my tilt, it found the driver and installed it and has worked flawlessly ever since.
Works fine for me too on Win7 x64.
First, try another cable. USB has 4 connections, only 2 are needed to make it charge, but for communication it needs all 4. Maybe try another USB port on your PC as well.
And as said before, make sure you have an internet connection so it can download the drivers.
WMDC is already built in with Win7, so don't install any other versions from Microsoft Download Center.
Works fine for Win7 x64.
but Win7 x86 "NO"
you can use virtual XP mode for 32bit version
Updates?
Hi. I had this same problem following a hard-reset of my phone. After a while of searching I found that an update (designed for Vista) is available on the microsoft website. Downloaded, installed and sync worked first time. Yey
It should work with Win 7 RC 32 bit - does for me!

Then you're doing something wrong (such as not having the TyTN II correctly connected to your desktop PC or not having internet access on it to download whats required perhaps). I plugged my TyTN II into my Win 7 RC (32 bit) PC and after a bit of hardware detection and some automatic downloading it works (allbeit still with slow file tranfers but at least the UI is better than Win XPs Activesync). Welcome to xda-dev by the way
I think that it matters wether or not it's Windows7 RC.. Right after it came out someone was using the beta and it wouldn't work for them.

I was wondering the same but as the RC version is still avail for free until 20 Aug, anyone with the Beta should be formatting and installing this instead. Grab it while you can
I am running RC 7100 and I have no problem syncing.
Only issue I have now is, when the phone is connected, it won't let me delete or replace any .xml files through file explorer. This was never an issue with XP and Active Sync.
i just found what the problem is. Open settings on phone, then connection tab, open usb to pc... and there uncheck (enable advanced network function)
With it checked it didnt work on mine win7

I had that problem when I first bought my TyTN II but it was because I was attempting to connect it to my ancient USB 1.1 ports on my Pentium III. As soon as I installed a modern (but cheap) NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI adapter card, I found I could connect fine either with or without advanced network functionality enabled. This is a USB port hardware compatibility issue rather than a Win 7 issue and I suspect even if users have Win XP on the machine that behaves this way, they'd still get the exact same response.
your speaking about USB 1 when others is speaking about Win7. If you dont know win 7 is the newest MS OS. So, i belive, all who use win7 have USB2. So there is question why you mention usb1?
And i didnt sad whole story. I had used phone with win xp for long time with that check on, and with one cabler... now on win7 i tried 2 diferent cables with that check on. Didnt work. Took it off and it started to work. So its Win7 issue.

Thanks for the explanation but my Pentium III is capable of running (or should that be walking) Win 7 RC and it has USB 1.1 ports (as well as a USB 2.0 card now). Given Win 7 RC was avail free of charge - don't know if it still is, I got mine in June, there'll be people who get it just to see what it looks like, even though the hardware isn't up to ideal spec.
I don't know what ports were being used in your case because as you mentioned, full details weren't supplied and we didn't have the whole story - we still don't know. Glad you've resolved the issue in your case but in a modern PC which can comfortably run Windows 7, I wouldn't typically expect this to be an issue. If the hardware is struggling to keep up or has USB ports of dubious quality/performance, then thats a different matter.
Sounds like win7 (my main OS now days) communicates with the USB ports in a different manner than XP or the other OS's. Good to know.
hey people,
I know I am writing about a known topic since I have been looking on the internet for hours, however I'm absolutely not finding the answer, it is so frustrating. Hope someone can help.
I connect my diamond touch (WM 6.1 pro, thanx to xda dev) to my freshly installed windows 7 utlimate on my iMac 27". It simply doesn't connect. I managed to install windows mobile device center, but it does not recognize my phone. I can connect mounting the phone as disk, but I want to sync. When I use active sync the computer sees it either as a generic RNDIS device (fast transfer checked on in pc-usb connection) or as unknown device (fast transfer checked off). For both it cannot find a proper driver when windows start looking for it! I have tried everything so far. Reinstalling WMDC, restarts, reboots, change usb ports. I don't know what to do anymore, please help me.
Best regards,
Barbet
Win7 mobile center, need install a driver.
drvupdate-x86.exe
you can search this file. I don't know why I can not put in the link.
Hmmm
Did that driver thing work? I didn't have any problems connecting from a PC. Are you using a VM or have you installed windows 7 on your mac? Try using a virtual machine.
Windows 7 by default do not recognise a lot of phone, you need mobile center to make it work, on microsoft.com -slash- windowsmobile -slash- en-us -slash- downloads -slash- microsoft -slash- device-center-download.mspx
thanx so much for your replies, however my problem is still not solved. I really don't want to use any viritual windows versions on my mac, it was a cramp to install it via bootcamp. I made sure all drivers were correct and all my hardware is working. Still problem is not solved. I have installed media pack, i have installed and reinstalled WMDC multiple times, i have installed any updates possible, i have tried different settings on my cell. Either i get: generic RNDIS driver not availible or i get generic serial driver not availible (serial doesn't even make sense, it is a usb connection). Anyways, i really really really want a solution.
btw, drvupdate-x86.exe is for 32 bit, i have 64 bit, i used drvupdate-amd64. It is properly installed.
Ow and i tried to deinstall WMDC update to reinstall it, but it was not possible to deinstall it!!! It deinstalls to 99% and then the process bar runs BACKWARDS. I didn't even know it was possible running these bars backwards. It certainly confirms why I prefer mac.
This will sound really dumb - but make sure you try it with the USB cable the phone came with. I was having problems for days until I tried a different USB cable... and there you go.
i will try again, but i remember trying similar things, also switching usb port, i tried didn't work
edit:
i did as you said and doesn't work
it does appear properly as disk if, but the moment you select 'active sync' it doesn't appear anymore,
i hear the sound that confirms the connection, and in the devicemanager i can see the device but with a warning that the driver is not installed
i have to edit first post, i am running wm 6.5, sorry, maybe this gives an anwer?
i think a solution can be in the WMDC driver update
i think i should uninstall it and reinstall it with my htc pluged in
however i can't uninstall it as i said before
i read that 'undocumented service' is necessary, however can find what it is
uninstalling via 'remove programs' doesn't work, neither normal or in safemode
someone help me further?
