I tried several times but I cannot sync my new XDA Orbit via Bluetooh. ActiveSync does not find my device although I did it the help-file told (choose the right COM-port). Could the reason be that I am using the WIDCOMM BT driver instead of the pre-installed standard Win XP-driver?
Same problem
Hi all. A have the samу problem with connection activesybc via bluetooth. When a want o connect my device say me that is no partnership to connect. What a reason. No posts about this a find

Hi.
May I know where you got your Widcomm BT stack for the Artemis?
Thanks
no. my artemis has a standard build in bluetooth drivers but for the first time i had aproblem whit them
I had this problem trying to sync with my Dell PC using its built in bluetooth hardware and the Widcomm stack. No luck at first, but I solved it by uninstalling the Widcomm stack in device manager, then allowing XP to re-discover the hardware and to install the alternative Microsoft stack. (XP SP2 only).
With XP handling the bluetooth, I had no problem pairing with the Artemis using instructions from here - http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=3163 .
Syncing is now straightforward.

Okay, I've scanned the entire website and visited your links, I still cannot set up a bluetooth partnership with my P3300 and my laptop.
I'm using D-link DBT-122.. and it just doesnt connect.
What am I missing?
No one has any ideas?
Had to bump it because its frustrating to not be able to sync via bluetooth.
Anyone wid ANY ideas whatsoever?
I just managed to advance a bit on this path:
Thanx to a Hazymat over on xda-dev I managed to get it all working, his guide, for anyone else finding this:-
1) On your computer, go into bluetooth settings. Check bluetooth is ON and set to discoverable. Add an incoming COM port, eg. COM5.
2) On ActiveSync on your computer, go into connection settings. Tick all the boxes. If the COM port is greyed out, untick it, close the settings box, go back in, now tick it and set the COM port to eg. COM5.
3) On the K Jam go into bluetooth settings, and remove the connection to your computer.
4) On your K Jam go into ActiveSync, click 'menu' > 'connect via bluetooth' then you should see a message saying 'cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?'
5) Click YES - you are taken to the Bluetooth settings screen.
6) Now click 'new partnership. As soon as you do this, the K Jam will search, and as long as your computer has bluetooth discoverable turned on, your computer will eventually be displayed. Check the computer name showing on the K Jam is the same as the name you gave the bluetooth profile on your computer.
7) On K Jam, click your computer name then NEXT.
Now enter a passcode - any four digit number (remember it) then next
9) When you do this, your computer will pop up with a message saying "a bluetooth device is requesting authorisation". Open this message and type in the code that you gave the K Jam. The next screen on the computer will tell you that it was successful - click FINISH.
10) Back on the K Jam, the screen will now be showing the services available. AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOWED STEP 1 and 2, ActiveSync will be an option, and you need to tick this and press FINISH on the K Jam.
11) Close bluetooth settings, now in ActiveSync screen click MENU > Connect via bluetooth. Your ActiveSync program on the computer should eventually pop up and connect.
The only port you worry about is the incoming pc one. Active Synch does the rest. You must see acitivesync as a service when you connect. I did not see it until I updated my Toshiba Bluetooth stack from thier website. Creating other ports can stop the synch from working.

(http://discussion.treocentral.com/wm-synchronization/104553-bluetooth-activesync.html)
The PC has an adapter managed by Widcomm stack (5.5.0.3200, latest so far). Only the "ActiveSync" service is set up as "Automatic", therefore immediately available. ActiveSync is version 4.5.
I do everything anew as instructed, my Hermes sees only the "ActiveSync" remote service. Sometimes it may stubbornly offer the "Serial Port" instead but after a few retries (yes, everything anew!) the correct service is seen. So far so good.
Then I create an outgoing port with same name as on PC. COM5 is apparently optimal at both sides. The PDA begins synchronization, the "Connected" sound is heard from PC... and almost immediately is followed by the "Disconnected" sound. The PDA additionally explains: "port is not available".
If I now refresh services visible via this partnership, the "ActiveSync" is replaced by "Wireless Stereo", "Serial Port" (checked), "Dialup Networking" and "Headset". This is a dead end. The stack on the PC somehow remembers this state and the correct choice of services won't be available anymore.
From now on I can do everything anew repeatedly, and if succeeded, all I get is that quick disconnection.
After installing the older v5.1.0.5600 stack the behaviour changed a bit. Instead of connecting/disconnecting an error message appears: "Synchronization cannot be completed successfully". Reinstalled the newer one, the appropriate behaviour returned.
Had no luck with the M$ stack altogether. The laptop manufacturer doesn't offer the Q323183 separately. Even if it is already included in SP2, I still must provide the kernel-mode drivers. The older Widcomm stack has them in a separate directory but they fail to install. Moreover I read somewhere that the M$ stack allegedly supports ActiveSync at a cost of absent RFCOMM support, and the latter is of paramount importance for me. Perhaps I'm destined to use cable (no problems with it).
Someone at experts-exchange.com states:
There are 2 major issues with activesync 4.x
1 - You cannot sync wirelessly
2 - You cannot sync via cable/cradle when the wifi card is active. If you are connected to a wireless network I would suggest you delete the connection and then try re-syncing.
If you do not need the latest version I would suggest you rollback to version 3.8 unless the above limitations dont affect you or you absolutely need the latest version.

If that only were an official M$ statement... And regarding older ActiveSync versions, those didn't work at all for me, as far as I remember.

i have a t-mobile mda3 Compact with PDAViet Black&Blue V3...
since i upgraded from WM5 to WM6 i can not sync to my PC over bluetooth..
can anyone with wm6 try this? maybe im only to stupid...
if it works.. pls tell me how...
thanks
Works just like it always did. Switched Bluetooth Radio on, started ActiveSync on my XDA and selected "Connect via Bluetooth" it than searched new Bluetooth Devices, found my Notebook with ActiveSync Service enabled and synced. Exactly the same as it was with WM5
doesnt work =(
that does not work for me... the following happens:
I enable bluetooth... open active sync and select connect via bluetooth...
A window pops up witch says : There is no Bluetooth Relationship with an ActiveSync enabled PC. Would you create a relationship.
If i click on Yes i get to the Bluetooth settings tab were i can enable / disable bluetooth.
If i create the bluetooth partnership myself, the same happens in Active Sync...
any ideas?? pls help me... i really need this.

Could you please explain to me more slowly I am sorry I am noob, I have the same problem
Finaly the problem solved. You are right it is because of incoming port. But another reason why in the begginning I don't know your statement about incoming port is because the application and the driver of my Bluetooh donggle which come with the device has different user interface. No incoming port is stated there . When I delete this driver and use the driver which includes from window XP, and try to pair it again, everything solved.
Thank for the information
I know I'm going to get flamed which, after much debate, I realize I cannot avoid. I've searched and searched and perhaps I haven't searched properly. I've read endless posts on this and that but nothing. I'm going to lay this out and if you want to flame me... go ahead.
Cingular 8525 - Schaps 4.01 Lite
IBM Thinkpad T60
Bluetooth Configuration > Diagnostics > Device Properties
Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation
Firmware Revision: Version 2.1.92.108
I create a partnership by searching for the computer from my device. Find it and enter the code. Partnership complete.
Open My Bluetooth Places\My Device and I see 11 potential services which include, My PIM Synchronization, My Dial-up Networking, My audio gateway and 8 others. So basically, I have a lot of possibilities. On my 8525 I have only 4 possible connection types which are Dun, Serial, headset and something else but NOT PIM synchronization.
I go to activesync on my 8525 with Bluetooth radio turned on. Go to connections and I have the when cradled "synchronize all pc's with USB (my only option). Click on menu > connect via bluetooth and get the message "cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a pc that supports activesync...". Sounds like a pc side issue maybe so i go to activesync on my pc and make sure that I allow a connection. I choose com6 because it is available and I modified HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Serial\Ports\00000016ceed6fdcort to use com6 because otherwise my only option is com0 which isn't available in activesync.
Anyway, it still wont connect. I'm not a genius but I'm not an idiot either. I'm obviously missing something so help a brotha out.... PLEASE!!
I am having the same problem with my BT bluesoid (cant spell)...I know have used it before, but could not figure out how to do it with hermes.
Let me know if you find a fix...
I'm searching through the threads...I think I saw somewhere how broadcom's BT drivers don't work with AS or WMDC...Somebody had removed the Broadcomm stack and defaulted to the Micro$oft BT stack...
There's some info here with XP if you haven't seen it:

I finally got it to work by changing the com ports in activesync on my laptop. I am currently using "com 7". Each time I changed com ports I deleted the connection and paired again. That was the only way I could get it to work.

Did you have to edit the laptop registry to get com7 to work? In activesync, i don't have the option of using com7. Only com1 and 3 or IR.
i have the same problem here,it says" cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a pc that supports activesync..."." and then opens some sort of list whit divices and services.
i have selected com 8 becouse i wont select com7 (dunno why)
so i selected com 8 in every program: bluesoleil, activesync 4.5 and MS stack in my ppc.
the system is in spanish but you can recognoise all the things in a sec.
but still cant sync, what am i doing wrong?

ActiveSync via Bluetooth is the most confusing and non-user friendly thing that any software develop can ever come up with. You're not alone. After trying to figure it out for many months, I gave up. Hopefully, your thread can shed some light.
Create a Bluetooth serial port...
You're almost there...once you have the partnership established, open your bluetooth settings and go to the "COM Ports" tab. Press the "Add..." button and create an "Incoming" port. Give it a sec and it will go through the whole "new hardware found" thing. Make a note of the Com Port number it created. Once thats done, open up active-sync on the PC and go to "File->Connection Settings" and check the "Allow connections to one of the following:" and set it to the com port that was created. Hit "OK", then on the mobile device run activesync and go to "Menu-> Connect via Bluetooth". You should now be good to go.
After fighting this one for several months with my 8525 w/att wm6, here what I found .......
On my Dell (toshiba stack) you will have two types of com ports . Incoming (server) and outgoing (client). The incoming(server) is the one you want, but not important as you will see!! The only thing that is important is to note which com ports did your bluetooth manager setup!!!
After you set the ActiveSync partnership with your PC through USB. Go to Files/Connection Setting. Check the box " Allow connections to..."Now select the incoming(server) com port, or at least the one you think it is!! OK out...
Now on the 8525 go to ActiveSync, select connect via bluetooth. When it comes to the "No Partnership exists....". Now follow the prompts on setting up the bluetooth partnership. Select your PC, NOW Re-discover services on your PC!! If the correct port is selected on your PC, ActiveSync service should appear. If not, no sweat, just go back to the PC. Change the com port in the connection setting for Activesync. Now back on 8525 re-discover services on your PC. If you have to, just go down the list of com ports until you get the Activesync service to show up!!
Now here is the Kicker, when you get the active sync service and hit OK. Now try to ActiveSync via Bluetooth. if it come back with no partnership exists, just follow the screen prompts. select your PC with activesync service is checked....uncheck it, then re-check it. Now you should receive a warning about ending connection to conserve power. You are done!!
Good Luck!!
Stuart
Holy Crap it works..thanks a million scl_electronics, I had given up on the whole activesync & bluetooth. I saw the thread and said why not..let me try again. It was pretty much how you explained( there were some differences, using broadcomm stack). It is a little confusing, but hell it took me about 20 mins of fiddling around and now it works..Great Work
I have been trying all weekend to Sync my 8525 and my HP laptop via Bluetooth and it will not work! They are both paired and I can do just about everything with them both but sync with ActiveSync. I can use the phone as a modem, transfer files, use the laptop as an external stereo speaker and as a speaker phone but it will not sync with freakin' Activesync! Both the Laptop and the 8525 serial ports are set at Com8. When attempting to sync via bluetooth on the phones active sync all I get is:
"Cannot connect using Bluetooth to a PC that supports ActiveSync. You may be out of range. Would you like to create a Bluetooth partnership with a different PC?"
Oh my LORD!! This is becoming soooo anoying! I have tried searching here and through Google, I have tried just about everything to get this crap to work and so far NOTHING!!!!
I am at wits end! Please if you can help it would save my sanity!

Looks wrong to me, as PDA's COM8 is not laptop's COM8. I suggest you delete all the serial ports, and delete the partnership itself on both PDA and laptop. Then let ActiveSync establish it back as it wants.

I have tried that before, and it still gave me the same message when trying
to sync. The laptop usually sets the com port to 8 and the phone sets the com port to 0, however this does not seem to sync. I will try it again tonight to see if maybe I missed something. Thank you for your suggestion.
If anyone else has any ideas I would love to try them.
Thank You!
For what it's worth, I'm able to sync my 8525 via Bluetooth ActiveSync with my Windows XP Professional notebook. It took a little finegaling, but I was able to make it happen. Unfortunately, the notebook is at home, and the phone is not allowed into my office. If you don't get it resolved by this evening, I'll try to post my settings after I get home.

So......Huston we still have a problem. Deleting the two devices and repairing did not seem to correct the issue.
Hmmm. I have experienced this before, and have fixed it....somehow. Sorry. I have a Dell laptop (yeah ok, wotever!). Established activesync partnership via usb to start. Told phone to find new BT gear, paired with laptop, ticked every box that the laptop presented, including 'allow device to access activesync service'. In BT settings, laptop has activesync box ticked in list of services available. To connect, I go into comm manager, turn on activesync, menu, connect via bluetooth. All sweet. Running WM6.1, had it working on most of the WM6 roms too.
what bluetooth stack are you using on you laptop?
Umm.. would that be 'WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software 5.0.1.2609'? Dunno - whatever is installed on the Dell Inspiron 6400. Would be happy to provide any further info, if you can tell me exactly what it is you want and where I find it....

Didn't have quite the same problem that you are having, but was having trouble. I found these instructions and took care of mine right away. The author, and the link to the site are listed in the instructions. I copied them to notepad so as not to lose them. Hopefully this will work for you.

Dude thank you! I will try that as soon as I get home!
I have it working on my desktop PC in front of me. Here's my setup:
PC:
IVT BlueSoleil v5 I think (the one that costs money but has a new slick interface)
Device Name: PokerPro
Device Type: Desktop
Accessibility: Allow other Bluetooth devices to find this device, Allow other Bluetooth devices to connect to this device
Services: Bluetooth Serial Port (COM4), Bluetooth Serial Port (COM5), Bluetooth Advanced Audio, Bluetooth Object Push, Bluetooth File Transfer, Bluetooth Personal Area Network. All have Security On (i.e. a secure connection).
Serial Ports: COM4: Direction Incoming. COM5: Direction Incoming.
Microsoft ActiveSync:
Connection Settings:
Allow USB connections
Allow connections to one of the following: COM4
This computer is connected to: Automatic
Open ActiveSync when device connects
I >don't< have "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" set.
On my Phone:
Running WM6 (Windows CE 5.2.1933) (note not WM6.1) and Schap's 4.01 full rom
Bluetooth device name: "Dir Someone" (my name). I don't have OBEX enabled.
Within the Bluetooth settings:
PokerPro shows up as a device. If I select it, it shows Wireless Stereo (not ticked) and ActiveSync (ticked). This is the important bit - ActiveSync needs to show up as a service under your PC paired connection.
Mode: Turn On Bluetooth is ticked, but "Make device visible to other devices" is not ticked.
COM Ports: I don't have anything there aside from "New Outgoing Port".
FTP: Enable Bluetooth Explorer is ticked
Security: Authentication (Passkey) required is not ticked.
ActiveSync: I have "Synchronise all PCs using this connection" ticked, with the default " 'USB " selected.
When I select "Connect via Bluetooth", I get a message on my desktop saying the phone has connected, and ActiveSync turns green and starts spinning.
If I recall correctly, it took me a couple of goes before the ActiveSync service appeared under the PC paired connection (the bit in italics above). I don't recall how I got that working but it was just a matter of deleting the connection and letting them discover each other again I think.
I did a bunch of research and found a few articles that I read at the time, but because I'm using BlueSoleil it was slightly different for my setup. But you can get the general idea of what you need to do here.
Check My post here, it is on the butoom of the page!!

2) On ActiveSync on your computer, go into connection settings. Tick all the boxes. If the COM port is greyed out, untick it, close the settings box, go back in, now tick it and set the COM port to eg. COM5.
3) On the K Jam go into bluetooth settings, and remove the connection to your computer.
4) On your K Jam go into ActiveSync, click 'menu' > 'connect via bluetooth' then you should see a message saying 'cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?'
5) Click YES - you are taken to the Bluetooth settings screen.
6) Now click 'new partnership. As soon as you do this, the K Jam will search, and as long as your computer has bluetooth discoverable turned on, your computer will eventually be displayed. Check the computer name showing on the K Jam is the same as the name you gave the bluetooth profile on your computer.
7) On K Jam, click your computer name then NEXT.
Now enter a passcode - any four digit number (remember it) then next
8) When you do this, your computer will pop up with a message saying "a bluetooth device is requesting authorisation". Open this message and type in the code that you gave the K Jam. The next screen on the computer will tell you that it was successful - click FINISH.
9) Back on the K Jam, the screen will now be showing the services available. AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOWED STEP 1 and 2, ActiveSync will be an option, and you need to tick this and press FINISH on the K Jam.
10) Close bluetooth settings, now in ActiveSync screen click MENU > Connect via bluetooth. Your ActiveSync program on the computer should eventually pop up and connect.
The only port you worry about is the incoming pc one. Active Synch does the rest. You must see acitivesync as a service when you connect. I did not see it until I updated my Toshiba Bluetooth stack from thier website. Creating other ports can stop the synch from working.

Steve Sharp - thanks a TON for this post...I've been trying to get Activesync to work on my Tilt for about 3 weeks now.
thanks!
First let me apologize for spamming the forums with some similar threads... each time I overcame a hurdle and a new one presented itself, I just began a new thread to discuss that. From now on I will append the initial thread... thanks for your patience.
1. WM6.1 and WMDC 6.1 (vista x64) are not too friendly... as the interface, though designed to be intuitive.... is anything but. I am sure it will get worked out in the future... but now it is one tough SOB to conquer
2. From doing enough reading on the web, though recently updated (12-17-07)... the Toshiba BT stack also does not play nicely with WM6.1 ... as numerous smartphone and PPC users are experiencing issues across multiple mobile platforms.
3. In Vista x64 (this is my personal experience) the only way for me to sync via bluetooth is to drop the Toshiba BT stack and use the generic M$ drivers. However... doing so I lose the stereo and serial port services
4. For whatever reason, it seems that activesync locks up STK (R08). When I disable STK, I can establish a connection infintely quicker. Alternatively... when I have activesync disabled, STK is much snappier and its failure/crash rate drops substantially
If anyone has had similar and/or different/"better" experiences with similar hardware... I'd love to hear about it
OS: Vista ultimate x64
ROM: Kavana/Rickwyatt .18
BT adapter: Kensington Micro USB (toshiba rebadge)
HTC: s620

Never thought of STK being the culprit of activesync issues. Since i didnt have these issues with WM 6.0 . Now i also use the toshiba bluetooth stack but i use winXP and there was a way that i could get activesync to work. (not sure how this would translate to WMDC) here it goes. Basically i created another bluetooth COM port with the toshiba BT configurator. then made sure that COM port # was selected in connection settings under activesync then i opened activesnc on my phone searched for new bluetooth devices and when it found my PC and connected, activesync was one of the options. Trying to go the other way around by pairing the phone starting with toshibas program did not yield the same results, in fact i could never get it to paired the other way around.
very interesting...
I will try the technique with today... usually my issue comes about when the devices cant exchange passkeys... although they are identical.
pudge.... should I set the com port as server or client?

Do what? the com port needs to be a serial COM port. not a bluetooth DUN or PAN com port

I gotcha... when I use the BT com port utility it asks whether I want to create a client-side or server-side port
since its serial it needs to be "server" side...
I tried, but still no luck, it pairs.... lists stereo and activesync in the services, but then refuses to sync
I think this is a flaw in WMDC 6.1

the only other thing you might try is in bluetooth settings -->security on your device. disable (temporarily) the OBEX security option and try again.
You can also try and create a COM port on your device. When you're on the screen where you add a new bluetooth device. press right soft key and select COM ports. right soft key again and then select new outgoing port. then select your PC (or laptop) on the list of devices that shows up. then add a com port . and it will let you pick com 6 or com 7. Then try again

already been down that road, trying to set up a new outgoing com port (6,7) no dice.
I think the deal is WMDC6.1 ... it makes me sad

sorry to hear that. Well since i have the same drivers, i will not be using vista anytime soon (not that i needed this as an excuse to begin with)
I was thinking of perhaps looking for some compatable drivers to replace the Toshiba stack. The generic MS drivers allow me to connect via activesync... but thats all, I lose all serial services (including object push, file transfer, stereo etc....)
I'll be honest though, I have been an XP guy for a long time... but after learning how to tweak, hack and optimize my vista install, I love it.
