Bluetooth ActiveSync: doesn't start - help? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Just upgraded my XDA II to O2 ROM 1.72 and I'm trying to recreate the bond for bluetooth ActiveSync. When I upgraded to 1.60 this was easy, so I've tried to do the same so I can surf the web at home for free.
I made a mistake though: I created a new bonded device in bluetooth before I clicked the 'Connect via bluetooth' menu item in ActiveSync. Now when I click that, nothin happens. No error, no dialog box, nothing. When I upgraded before I clicked the ActiveSync option before making the bond and that way it worked.
I've tried deleting the bond with the server from the XDA II and then going back into ActiveSync to the 'Connect via bluetooth' option, but the same thing happens. The XDA II isn't even opening the COM port.
Can anyone help?

*bump*
Update: I did a hard reset and tried setting up Bluetooth ActiveSync again... No luck. It just doesn't work. I can bond to the PC over BT but nothing else.
Can anyone help? Please?

i have no problem with activesync via bluetooth between my pc & ppc, i have upgraded to uk 1.72.181
just followed this guide
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2417
starting to start---settings---system---bluetooth settings---start---new (bonded)
my pc with xp sp1 & widcomm 1.4.3.4
hope this helps

ajong, you're a star!!! Thank you!
I read those instructions and realised I was clicking the wrong thing to start the whole bluetooth ActiveSync setup process. Doh!!!
Anyway, got it working now. Great!

RSU 6.24 Upgrade & ActiveSync 3.71 Problem

I just upgraded TMO radio stack to 6.24.00, works flawlessly. Tested the RS with calls, web connections, incoming call while on web ... perfect.
However, ActiveSync will not recognize a partnership with my PDA now. Reverts to Guest every connection.
Reinstalled ActiveSync ... no luck. Soft reset PDA ... no luck. Tried it on a WinXP-HE and Win2K computer, same on both.
Have searched forum & seen a few enteries on this subject but no solutions. Running TMO ROM 4.00.21 & TMO RS6.24.00.
Anybody had this issue & successfully resolved it?
Yeap been there seen that but had forgotten about those problems until I read your post! :wink:
Try downgrading back to 3.7, my sig states what I ended up doing to fix it for me! :wink:
Also you might try turning the device off before you put it in the cradle
so times that helped if I remember correctly.
HTH
Resolved problem by uninstalling ActiveSync 3.7.1, restart Windows, reinstall ActiveSync 3.7.1 and it detects new USB hardware, starts the Partnership wizard and things are okay.

1.12.00 WWE ROM, Bluetooth COM Port settings, ActiveSync

Hi all,
I've just recently upgraded to the above ROM- everything else seems to be fine but I've just realised that the 'Settings' for BT are slightly different to my original rom version.
I can pair the JAM fine with the PC but it won't let me connect. As I look at the BT settings, I can see the following tabs: Mode, Devices and COM Ports; it's the COM ports that has changed. It's got New Outgoing Port and New Incoming Port. When i select either of these I can't assign any port number; the drop down list is blank.
P.S. I was able to connect fine via BT using my original ROM v1.00 or something.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
hey man
i just posted another querry regarding the card reader ...
hope u read it !!
getting back to yr problem
follow the instructions on this link and yr problem will be solved (HOPEFULLY)
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=544932
I remember reading that link a while ago but I got the BT working without Pocket Tools software...
Anyway, I've tried both versions from the website but after installing either of them, the connect via bluetooth in Tools of ActiveSync is not there; just the IR. As soon as I uninstall the software it's back there.
I thought I had mastered the myth of Jam and Bluetooth- looks like back to square one!
Sorry - I'm just impatient- reinstalled and re-paired a few times and all is fine now.
Thanks for your help.
reinstalled what may i ask? im having this exact problem at the mo
Instructions from the top of my head (excuse any errors)
1) I removed the Pocket Bluetooth tools from remove programs
2) Perform soft reset and remove any existing paired devices
3) Reinstall the Bluetooth Tools (i used the an earlier version)
4) Select ActiveSync check box
5) The device should be paired
6) Go to to ActiveSync on PPC; go to tools and you should see Connect BT with ***
This should work.

SynC via BT with no mods

Hello! i always read this forum.... today i've found a tutorial to sync magician over BT connection with ORIGINAL stack & no other stuff...
it's in italian, but so simple, just follow the sequence of the configuration step by step, in described order
HERE
Regards
Wow, that's really simple! I'm Dutch, working on a German computer without any knowledge of the Italian language and it worked within a minute!
Thanx for this post
Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup
That's what I've been missing...
I've done everything except to start that "Bluetooth Activesync Setup" in Settings->System->Bluetooth Settings
For anybody else who have been failing to activesync with bluetooth, this may be the one you miss. I wonder why PocketPC doesnt come with this service setup from the factory.
Thanks for the information SkizZO!!
Yes! in particular AFTER the click on ActiveSync BT Settings, you HAVE TO PAIR your PPC with your PC.
If after tapping "ActiveSync Settings over BT" in BT Settings, you close the new window with Bluetooth activation/rules, you break ActiveSync setup, then no BT connection will be estabilished!!
I spent a lot of time to sync via BT, and the solution was really really simple!!! :shock:
thanx man! it was sucessfully done! so happy....
mmm ... dint work
did all like in manual but the step, between finishing add process of BT device and starting active sync on PPC, failed. It didnt ask me anything, just added the device.
And when i push Connect via BT nothin happens
there is something of wrong on your pc/ppc
We are in 4 and all works fine.

You COM port number may be too high. Activesync only recognises up to COM 9. Here's another guide that includes info on how to delete unused COM ports.

Another Bluetooth Sync issue

Hello guys i have a magician with windows mobile 2003, ROM version 1.12.00 WWE, actually downloaded from magician wiki,
my problem is as the title suggests, i can't synchronise using bluetooth, things are fine wth USB, but not with bluetooth.
i have been searching the forum for a week now, and followed many steps, but no use...when i start Active Sync on the PPC and i press connect via bluetooth i get stuck in "connecting to host" and it doesnt change.
i have an ASUS notebook (XP SP2)with Build in Bluetooth, and use ActiveSync 4.5.
2 more notes:
1. i had vista on the notebook a week ago, and things were totally fine, bu as i am back to XP, and to ActiveSync 4.5, things don't work, it never worked even with the previous XP.
2. i am not good in these things,,,so please a bit more detalied comment will be very helpful
thanks in advance
regards

hard-resent & activesync 4.5

I have done a hard reset on xplodes Rom, and now my activesync 4.5 is not picking up my XDA IIs. I uninstalled and then re-installed activesync and still not picking it up ?
My PC says 'USB device not unrecognised '
Is there anything I need to do ?
At what stage are you at? Are you installing the rom? This is the guide you should be following:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain
Can you tell us more information, like what is shown on the screen, what stage you got to, which guide you were following, which rom version you were trying to install etc.
cheers
it was the sync cable - it seems it has died.
Using the sync cradle - it is working!
