Can't get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth - please help.

I recently got a Bluetooth dongle for my PC but can't get my XDA-II to use any of the services !
When I select ActiveSync and the Sync with Bluetooth I get
'Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. The communications prt is not available. Another program may be using the port, or it may not be valid.
Quit any programs that may be using the port and reconnect. If the problem persists, restart your device using the instructions provided by the manufacturer.'
When I choose Bluetooth settings and select 'Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup'->Start on the XDA II I get 'Please bond with other Bluetooth device which supports serial port or ActiveSync profile as your ActiveSync partner !
The PC has the ActiveSync service enabled and I am now stuck. Please help.

Try this utility.

Install it, do a soft reset. Delete previous BT connection and find again.
you should get an option to sync on your XDA II with the specific computer.

ActiveSync Via Bluetooth with Troy Windport
Have tried all suggestiosn including http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
Activesync starts to connect an then drops the connection
Have w2k, ActiveSync 3.7.1 and TRoy Windport bluetooth PCMCIA card, XDA II with Latest 6.10.50 upgrade

try following this tutorial at geekzone
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2417

try to turn off infrared communication on ppc.
try to delete all bounded devices both pc and xda.
try to search for a bt device again.

You have to follow the above mentioned procedure. After that you start to search the device with ActiveSync.
ActiveSync will start to check all the serial ports, one port before it comes to the port that is used by your BT stack, you should start ActiveSync via BT on your XDAII.
This is the only way (for me) to get that crap working. After the XDAII and the computer have found each other, future syncs via BT are no (or at least not a big) problem. If the XDAII and the computer sometimes dot not find each other, try to sync 2-3 times, it will hopefully work then. Sometimes there seems a kind of timeout error.
I don't use BT anymore 'cause it is really a hard job to get it running. Even when I managed to establish the connection, after some days the connection gets lost again and can only be repaired by re-installing the BT stack or ActiveSync - I am really tired of beta testing all the bluetooth stacks and stopped to use it until the industry established a working standard...

I try a lot of time after install Tobias application for BT, but I can not see the new dialog after pair my XDA II with PC. Someone help me!

I had the exact same experience. I have not sorted out my the BT problems yet but suffered also from the interrupted connection using the cradle until I disabled Norton anti-virus and firewall.

HELP!
No connection possible between my PC and MDA-II.
Bluetooth Devices program in Windows XP SP2 comes up with "incoming port: 17", while ActivSync seraches only ports 1 to 9.
How can I make them listen to the same port?

Lan access with MDA Compact via bluetooth accespoint.

Can somebody tell me how to connect my MDA compact to my wlan router via bluetooth ? I've got a bluetooth access point (dlink DBT-900AP) that is connected by ethernet cable to my router/adsl modem.
I want to use email en internet access with my MDA Compact.

The BT Lan Access Service using Microsoft BT Stack has been removed in the registry. It's been like that since XDA2.
I do not know if there is a corresponding driver available in MDA Compact such that you can re-enable the service via updated registry entries.
Anyone?

i think it needs the ppp bluetooth profile
and ms bluetooth stack dont have that
vidcomm bluetooth stack does....
you can try using that

Found the reg entry with missing configuration:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001102-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="Lan Access"
and here are some more...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001105-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="OBEX Push"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001106-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="OBEX FTP"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001112-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="Headset Audio Gateway"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="HID"
Anyone knows enough of these entries?

just add those to your device, apply the other things from msdn you've found and restart your device. then scan your ppc on the pc for open services...

I have found a workaround
I'm the happy owner of an MDA Compact and a Siemens blue2net access point. Indeed, the Microsoft Bluetooth stack refused to talk to the access point, which only offers the "Lan Access" profile.
I tried the suggested registry hack. Good idea, but sadly it does not work. It would appear that the "Lan Access" profile is simply not supported by the Bluetooth stack - it has not just been disabled by deleting a few registry entries
However, I found a workaround. After a few hours of fighting with the Microsoft stack, I downloaded a free Bluetooth stack from Toshiba (http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/) that supports the "Lan Access" profile. I did a full backup of my MDA Compact, adopted the "brace position", and prepared for a crash landing (aka hard reset).
After installing the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, I simply had to do a soft reset to activate it. Big surprise for me: my MDA still worked. Clicking the Microsoft Bluetooth icon in the status bar now told me that my toy had no Bluetooth support; however, clicking the new Toshiba Bluetooth icon brought up a different (and better, IMHO) Bluetooth interface. From here I could see the blue2net access point. Not only that - I could actually connect to it. The rest was piece of cake: add the Bluetooth device and configure a modem connection via it. I am now happily surfing the web via Bluetooth
The only caveats I have so far are these:
1) I now have a disfunctional Microsoft Bluetooth icon in the status line. I would like to get rid of that. Please drop me a note if someone knows how to do that.
2) When using the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, the diode above the screen does not blink blue when Bluetooth is active. A small price to pay for having internet access

i am about to do as lars_juhl has stated on my xda II knowning that he messed with mda compact and i have a xda II but still i am going to do as he has stated will let you guys know wat happens.
FINGERS CROSSED !!

ok ive downloaded bluetooth stack v3.10.00 from the link that you've given and after extracting the contents of the zipped file on my desktop i have.
1.QFE (FOLDER)
2.SD_HOST_driver (Folder)
3.us (Folder)
4.AutoAns (Exe)
5.AutoOn (Exe)
6.AutoSetup (Config File I Guess)
7.lmgLoad.dll
8.Setup (Exe)
9.TbpSetup (Exe)
10.TbpSetup (Config)
11.TosBtLoad.dll
12.Uninstall
care to tell me which is the file that you installed on your pda as a bluetooth profile and i shall follow you.

jeetz

I think you're supposed to download the 'Pocket PC 2002 / Windows Mobile 2003' bluetooth stack. This shows version 5.01.
Goodluck.

Hi,
I've one question:
(a) Apart from Internet access, do you have other BT functions working?
e.g. Headset/Handsfree, BT ActiveSync??
The BT Tray Icon can be removed by deleting this registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]
then reboot.
If you don't wish to remove the key, you can disable it by editing this parameter value under the registry key
change
"Dll"="BTIcon_Dll.dll" to
"Dll"="BTIcon_Dll.dll.disabled"
then reboot. When WM2003SE tries to load the Dll driver, it can't find it and therefore the MS BT system tray icon will not be activated.

The download is here:
http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php

Works great on my MDA Compact too (DLINK BT-900ap).
Many thanks for this idea.
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn on/off the bluetooth radio once this stack has been installed ? I have the feeling that it is always on, consuming precious energy...
BTW has anyone tried headsets with this stack. Do they work ?
Thanks agian,
Martin

Yeah, I have the same question.
And one more: After turning off/on toshiba bt icon disappers. How to fix it?

it works for me but how can i turn bluetooth off ?!! i think it goes ON all the time

Yeah, the BT icon is disappearing after turning the device off as well as sometimes ramdomly.
The set-up app (bt_setup) cannot be restarted without soft reset, I get following error "An error occured with th Buetooth Card Confirm that the card is working properly."
M.

I installed the Toshiba bluetooth stack on my I-Mate Jam and it ROCKS - it includes ALL the functionality missing in the MS stack!
...BUT...
It is unstable as hell (I have experience all the bugs listed in this thread) and I am fairly sure this is due to the fact that both MS and Toshiba stacks try to use the same bluetooth hardware SIMULTANEOUSLY.
...SO...
has anyone figured how deinstall/reinstall the microsoft bluetooth stack on a Magician (I-Mate Jam, Qtek S-100, MDA Compact, XDA Mini)?

can't get files over BT

Hey all,
i've tried to recieve files over BT from Nokia 7610 & 6230 with no luck.
(both of them did send files each other and did recieve files from my device)
does anyone else has this problem?
i have an XdaII mini..
Thanks ahead,
Lior.

even with Receive all incoming beams and Bluetooth On I cannot receive any files from my desktop. I think this is because MS BT stack is a bit crippled. I can send files to and from my h2210 iPAQ just fine.

@bnycastro
how do you send files from the xda to the 2210? and vice-versa? i don't have an option to send files via BT in the file explorer, only beam file. thanks!

Just use the beam file and make sure bluetooh is on; the XDA will search for other BT devices then will display 'tap to send'
If you right click on a file on your PC then go down to 'send to' Bletooth device should come up (Windows XP SP2) Make sure the XDA is set to discoverable and you should be able to send the file to it

big thanks nikpro!

hey i have the same problem....
has anybody found a solution???

Hi

BlueTooth problem on Qtek 9100

Hi All!
I have 2 devices - Qtek9100 and Dell X51v. I pair them and Dell see only 1 service - Dial-Up Networking! Where other services?!!!! Help me, plese!
PS: USB dongle see only 1 service too

Are you sure your Qtek is in discoverable mode? I saw that when you turn bluetooth on in the Comm Manager , it does not turn on the discoverable mode. For this you have to go to start-settings-connections-bluetooth and tick the box for that.
Maybe that is the problem on your device? You can use Buzz Lightyear's SwitchIt to switch bluetooth on and off and into discoverable mode as well, works pretty good.

Yes, I sure, my Qtek discoverable mode turn on. I dont try Buzz Lightyear's SwitchIt? but I try this. But other device see my Qtek, but dont see services!!!

Everyone that can should check this- I have noticed the same thing on my KJAM. The only profiles available on the wizard appear to be DUN, headset and serial port. This is the same whether I use my PC with WIDCOMM BT, my Axim x50v or my Axim x30. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue, but had not taken the time to post more about it...

ill say it again!!!!!! Bluetooth smells on the wizard
Bring widcom back

I have the same problem. The only thing that I see is DUN...
One positive is that I can get DUN to work...

Same problem while trying to transfer some files from Nokia 6630 to Qtek 9100 :-/ Any solution to this?

I have found the solution to BT recieving problem: you must check the "recieve all incoming beams" in the settings/connections/Beam and you can recieve all files from other BT devices

any one know how the battery time will be if im using Dial-Up Networking ?

then did anyone sync successfully via bluetooth ???? can connect to the ActiveSync via bluetooth ??

bluetooth problem wm6

i cannot sync via bluetooth......my laptop detects and its paired too...no incoming or outgoing ports are seen....i hve 2 BA both upgraded to WM6... working allright ....please somebody help

Well, you didn't exactly give much information.
What do you mean "no incoming or outgoing ports are seen"? What do you get when you go into activesync on the angel and tell it to connect via bluetooth?

you must have enabled on your PC BT dongle one incoming and one outgoing com port, also in activesync on your pc in connection settings you must check that activesync to accept connection on your incoming port. Then the sync over BT will be possible

bluetooth
thank you explode I have done it now

What settings do I need to fill up?
Hi anyone who can help me,
I am trying to sync via bluetooth... I can connect both laptop and BA .. however, I dont know what else I need to do to make them sync via bluetooth..
I dont understand where to set up the com in and out.
would someone be kind enuf to guide me step by step please .. excluding pairing devices since that is straight forward.
Cheers

Maybe the same here

I have the same problem, just enable the beam in the connections manager, then enable the bluetooth as well , then set bluetooth to discoverable in the bluetooth settings then everything works fine.
It seems the beam must be enabled as well for some reason.
Would love to know if there is a more elegant solution though.

I can create only incoming port on PC. When I try to create the outcoming port, he try to find the device (BA) but don´t find it. Help....

well like my phone after updating it to wm6 6.1 i cant recieve anything shared on bluetooth, my phone is discoverable but nothing can send into it because it says it fails! can anyone help??
