Hey all, sorry for the remedial questions, but I am pulling my hair out trying to get my phone connected to my laptop thru ActiveSync via Bluetooth. I have the verizon xv6800, running dcd 2.3.2, activesync 4.5 and windows XP.
Anyone have a noob step by step? I have read the phone docs and the activesync docs and I cannot get it. My ports are matching and I can "connect" to the laptop, meaning my pc sees it as a bluetooth device and vice versa.. but not transfer anything or connect via activesync.
Thanks.

Hey, i wonder if anyone could help me.
I have a belkin F8T001 bluetooth dongle and have upgraded to sp2. I am unable to get my XDA to sync with my computer. I can bond them together fine and transfer files between but the XDA never gives me the option for using it to active sync.
Sorry i know this question has been sort of answered before but i really cant seem to get this working.
Thanks in advance.

I have a HTC Wizard, I just got it today.
I would like to setup the internet connection via bluetooth, untill I can buy a wifi adapter for my pc.
I have checked the guid on this site, but my wizard does not have the Bletooth PAN User Driver, so I can't select it. Has anyone gotten this to work on the wizard? All help will be appreciated. I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I could not fin it.
Please help!
if you can get activesync to work via bt then you can surf fine.
thnx, about 5 minutes before you posted I got active sync working over bluetooth. It was a pain...activesync with the USB cable was seriously screwing with my pc, it rebooted my pc as soon as the sync began. But after some hours I got it to work over bluetooth. Thank god, i;m not touching these settings ever again. (i hope the update activesync will solve all these problems)"
Thnx again for your suggestion

Acticesync4.1 is not connecting to my tmobile mda via USB. All i really want to do is install software on my phone. I do not really care if outlook is synced or not. Is there another way I can use to install software on the phone? I do not currently have either bluetooth or wifi. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
try this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
thanks for the help. It all works now. I had my mouse connected to a kvm switch, once I connected my mouse to the pc all was good.
I cannot seem to get my 8125 to sync with windows mobile device center in Vista. I have tried both bluetooth and usb cable, and I have turned off Windows Firewall.
When I connected it via the cable, the only thing that installed and appeared my device manager was a Smartphone USB Sync under mobile devices. I have read other people are getting a windows mobile device under portable devices, among other things.
When I try connecting via bluetooth, Activesync just does not show up when I pair my phone and my computer as a service.
Are there drivers I can get from somewhere, or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!
You have to update the WMDC in vista inorder to sync. Had the same problem me self.. kinda crazy if u ask me eh...
I know it has been a long time but I have wmdc 6.1 and an 8125 with the most recent HTC cingular rom. How do I get bluetooth sync working? My activesync on my phone says that the service is not installed and I am kind of stuck there.
A ton of google searches have illicited no help. I figurd I would try here...
I am paired properly with the laptop as I am able to use the modem as DUN and get internet working with no problems. I cant seem to get the device center to recognize the phone for syncing my outlook with bluetooth.
Same boat
I am right there with you man. I have tried everything and still no joy. I am going to try and up date my bluetooth software and try it out. I'll let you know if it works for me.
I did it!!
Ok the key is to use the same Comm port in WMDC that the wizard uses. For example try to set up a bluetooth partnership with your PC via your wizard. When you see a popup on your desktop that you wizard is trying to connect make a not on which Comm port it is trying to use. (for me it was COM4.) from there go into your setting in WMDC and check the second box to allow the wizard to use differant ports. Select your port and click ok. You should be good to go. Let me know if that did or didn't work for you. Best of luck!
I just got a new computer with Vista installed (enjoying it) but I really would like to sync via BT. I'm not real knowlegable about working with BT. When I get it to sync with my devices, I just leave it alone. I have a kensington USB adaper and it connected to my phone one time and it won't connect again. Even when it was connected I couldn't get it to sync with WMDC. I don't even know where to begin to diagnose my issues. Kensington has no directions at all.
Yes it is possible to sync via bluetooth.Do a search.

Yes, it's actually easier synching with BT than with USB, sometimes.
Just make sure that your BT on Vista supports ActiveSync. Go through the usual motions of pairing and all should be sweet.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to sync your wm device with vista via BT?

Thanx e_gregious, I figured it out. The drivers I installed for the USB BT adapter was screwing with my options in Vista. It wouldn't show me the "BT Devices" option to set it up with ActiveSync. I had to uninstall those drivers that came with it, and just let Vista install the drivers automatically. After that, I saw the options I was looking for and it was very easy. And you're right, syncing via BT is a whole lot easier than I though it would be. People bash Vista, but I'm fully enjoying it. (until I want to flash a new ROM)
