I am trying to get active sync to work over my bluetooth connection to my laptop. I have a partnership defined in the phone, serial port, com 6. I can connect to the phone from the laptop via the bluetooth connection manager. However, when I try and "connect via bluetooth" from the phone it tells me no partnership exists that can connect via bluetooth. However, one clearly does. I also try and connect to the phone over bluetooth from my laptop with active sync, and it just says it can't find the phone. ANy suggestions?
Thanks!
You need remove the partenership and re-pair with your PC from within Active Sync (using Connect via BT). You have to let ActiveSync handle the profile thing instead of manually setup COM port. Once you paired this way, you will see an ActiveSync profile listed for your PC on your phone. Don't try to outsmart ActiveSync. It's really dumb and only works according to its way.
Tried it
I tried that and its still not working. Same message from the phone. I dont see anywhere in activesyc though that has profiles. Am I missing something? Do i need a newer version of activesync? (I am running summiters latest rom 2.3 for cingular).
Did you remove profiles from both phone and PC. You don't want to manally set COM port connection. After pairing from ActiveSync, you PC will be listed with an ActiveSync Service option instead of Serial port option.

Nope. Still not working even with 4.1.
If you go to settings->Connections->Bluetooth->Devices, what are the services listed for your PC?

I got it working. Thanks for your help!
How did you get it working? I'm a new user and I have exactly the same problem. If I go to 'settings->Connections->Bluetooth->Devices' I see that Activesync is checked but handsfree is not checked.
I'm not able to connect, either. I go to connect via BT, setup a new partnership, exit back to activesync, and it still says the same - "cannot find an existing partnership that supports Activesync."

That is good. Now all you need to do it go to activeSync->menu->Connect via BT. You should see status dialog popup and it starts to connect. Make sure on your PC side, you allow the incoming BT connection and ActiveSync is set to allow connect through the COM port BT activesync is using.
no service on bluetooth, no device found
hi
If I go to 'settings->Connections->Bluetooth->Devices
I see no service.
If I try to pairing through active sync, no device found.

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.
hi, will some one please show me how to set it up, i did tried few times but it wont connect, thanks
Do you have bluetooth networking enabled in your PC?
im actually having problems with this 2 ever since i upgraded to duttys v3 and now v4 same problem it used to work perfectly it just says something like connection couldnt be established check your device documentation.... did you have it working earlier to tongphan?

If your laptop or Desktop computer is Bluetooth enabled (like mine) then you do not require an adaptor. If your laptop or desktop is not Bluetooth enabled, then you do need a Bluetooth adapter. They cost from about £10/ $20
With my MDA Vario III and my Bluetooth enabled laptop, this is how I connect to the internet on my Windows Vista laptop by sharing the internet from my device:
1) Turn Bluetooth on and also turn on the visibility on your device
2) Now on your laptop/pc (please keep in my mind I’m describing how to set up using a vista laptop), click on ‘My Networks’.
3) Next, click onto ‘network and sharing centre
4) Click onto ‘setup a connection or network’
5) Click onto ‘connect to a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) and then click ‘next’
6) Click ‘Add’
7) A screen will pop up with a box that needs to be ticked. Tick it and then click next
8) A torch light animation appears as the computer searches for the device
9) A device name such as ‘MDA Vario III’ or similar should appear. Click on it and then onto next
10) A passkey screen appears asking if you want to add a password for whenever you connect your device. Choose which option you want. If you don’t want to create a password, then simply click on ‘don’t use a passkey’
11) Click on next
12) On your device, a sign appears asking if you want to connect to your pc/laptop. Click on yes
13) Then type in the passkey you’ve created (if you have one) in the passcode box which should have appeared on your device. Click on ‘next’.
14) Click on Finish
15) On your device, click on programs and then onto ‘ internet sharing’
16) Now if you want to internet share by Bluetooth, under ‘PC Conection’, click on ‘Bluetooth PAN’.
If you want to connect by USB cable, then connect your device to your PC/ Laptop with your cable. Under PC connection, click on USB.
17) Then click on ‘connect’.
18) On your computer/laptop, click on ‘My network’ and then right clik onto ‘Manage network connections’ and ‘View Bluetooth network devices’.
19) Click on your device name and ‘connect’
Although I also own a XP computer, it’s currently not working so I can’t give a step by step guide on how to connect using XP. I do think the methods are pretty similar though.
hey man thanks for the help but before i came back her i figured out what my problem was and i was retarted i forgot to pair the device after i installed a new rom... lol my bad
I have a problem trying to connect to ActiveSync by bluetooth .
When I pair diamond to PC not appear the service "ActiveSync", but "Serial Port".
Therefore ActiveSync, can't connect to my PC.
I have already configure ActiveSync on PC to connect on right Com port.
Please help me
I had this problem.
You have to pair the PC to the Diamond. ie search for the device on your PC then pair. (Unpair the origonal setup first)
Hope this helps
I had this problem. Until I activated Bluetooth PAN (networking) on my desktop PC. After this "Active Sync" was available when pairing the device.
The issue have been resloved,I modify the Register, change serial port to ActiveSync
Sorry if this has already been answered I have been searching the forums to no avail.
Has anyone come up with a programme that will connect to activesync when in bluetooth proximity without having to click on the "connect via bluetooth" similar to the way Nokia phones can ?
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!
-Mike
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.

Ooook, after Firmware-Flash of new o2 Germany v2.03.207.2 everything's working again. *strange*
