Has anyone got wifi activesync working without usb cable

I have managed to lose my use cable and unfortunately I've reset my xda iis since it was sync'd. I know I should be able t connect it to my wifi router but I gather there's no way to do it without first setting up a partnership using the cable? Is this correct? Can anybody clarify please?

That's my understanding. If your PC has Bluetooth, maybe you can set up the initial sync via BT, then get WiFi working. Haven't tried it -- I always do wired sync first.

I havent dont it for a while but I always had to sync with usb or serial before the bt sync would work also.

Unfortunately this isn't possible. After a little testing to confirm what I already thought. Active Sync requires the partnership to be set up via a cabled connection either USB or serial.
The availability of a serial connection might lead you to believe that setting up a bluetooth serial connection should circumvent this problem but it just doesn't work.
If ya lived ever so sighly nearer I'd lend you mind hehe.
Good luck

Thanks for the input. I'll just clarify that it is possible to create a partnership using bluetooth as that's how i first got my connection setup, having no usb cable. Unfortunately the bt was unreliable for my internet so I exchanged it for wifi at my local store. Only problem is I hard reset the XDA since and lost the partnership.

Create activesync partnership with Infrared
Your answer is Infrared dude. I deleted my partnership & then created & re-sync'd using IR.

haven't got IR on my pc tho!

If you setup your Bluetooth to sync over a BT serial port and set activesync to sync over that port then it should work.

Cheers for the input, but i've not got IR or bluetooth, just wifi on my pc.

Check on eBay, I picked up a cable pretty cheap there - not a complete crade, just a lead with a connector on

Great idea. I've just ordered one for £3 inc postage. just have to wait now till I can install any software on my xda.

wm5torage for sony ericsson

I know this is a WM board but i gotta ask u guys cos the knowledge here is very good, my friend has a SE w850i and he want a program like wm5torage, if you know any, or know a specific Sony ericsson board?

To the best of my knowledge, new SE have this built-in and selectable from a menu when you plug the phone in. What happens to your friend upon connecting?

he wants to use it as a protable memory for his car stereo with an usb jack, i do that with my phone, and it works great, but my mp3 wont work, dunno why cos it appears like a portable device in windows but the car stereo just says usb usb then fm radio again, i guess he has the same problem...

Precisely, what is shown on the phone display? There should be a menu: http://www.knowyourmobile.com/sonye...uides/101/using_the_w850i_as_a_usb_drive.html

when he plugs it in, the menu appears and he select file transfer, but it wont work...

Do I understand you right? It works with the computer but not the car stereo, which refuses to accept the MP3 player too? Then it's just an incompatibility. And as that SE is not a smartphone, all you can ask for is a firmware upgrade - check SE site.

okay, thanks!

did he tryed connecting the phone while off?

whenever you connect it it turns the phone off and asks if u want file transfer or some other stuff

Tether Dash to Another Phone (TM506)?

OK, this may be a bit naive, especially since T-Mo is rumored to stop tethering on the TM506 in later updates (heaven forbid SIM provisioning), but I would like to tether the Dash to the TM506, like a PC, via BT and only have data on the TM506. I really love my Dash for now and the TM506 has HSPDA 3.5G. Can this be done? Can any additional WM6 software accomplish this?

Find my thread on Bluetooth Dun, it has the software you need, just install it on your T-Mobile Dash to the main memory. If you cannot find it get back with me...........!

Thanks for the quick reply and advice.
I'll search your threads to find the DUN Posts and post back in a few days. So I quess the Dash can dial to T-Mo 3G using the TM506 modem via BT. Great!
I just wonder if there is a way to configure DUN without it eating minutes. Previously, when I set up connection teaming on a laptop with the Dash and a Samsung T409 using DUN, minutes on my plan began to mysteriously get used.
Is it possible to use T-Mo DUN without eating minutes off your plan?

That's a beautiful little Sony phone, I saw it in the T-Mobile store yesterday. I believe it will work, if you cannot find the software, I will PM you a link to the BT dunn software a little bit later. I got to find it also, but I have it.........!

I found it
Look for a PM in the next 10 minutes.........!

The BlueTooth Dunn File
Below is the BT dunn file, install it to the main memory, you still will need the configuration set up.........!

Thanks, I still have it in my downloads from the last time you helped me. I didn't really need it then because my modded Dash had BT DUN enable for PC to Dash modem. Hope it works for Dash to TM506 modem.
Update: I installed the app to main memory but I don't see a program link or folder in program files. I'm guessing something went wrong but the install was reported as successful.

Nothing is wrong, it's there, you will not see anything, but it will work, pair the devices. Let me know how things work out for you....!

Sorry, Techhology but I still can't figure this out. The Bluetooth services of the TM506 only list Input Device and Serial Port. Give me a few more pointers. Thanks.

Print a picture of what you are working with on the Sony TM506, I would love to make this work. Another thing did you get the 2 devices paried.......?

Yes the devices are paired. The TM506 sees these services on the Dash: Object Push, File Transfer, Audio Remote Control and target. The Dash sees these services on the TM506: Input Device and Serial Port.
It appears that the SE PC Suite connects to the TM506 through BT serial port. You can also use BT dial-up networking directly instead of BT serial port.
If it were possible to have the Dash use the BT serial port on the TM506, like the SE PC Suite, then it might work. But I can't find any function in the Dash to do this.
I was also successful in connecting two PC's to the TM506 via BT. One via BT DUN and the other via BT PAN. The PC's had internet but the connections seemed very slow.

Ok, you will not see anything the Dash but the BT dunn file are there. Do you have a BT set up on the TM506?

Somthing tells me this would have been easier with a PPC instead on a Smartphone. GRIN
I can use DUN from a PC to both the TM506 and the Dash just fine. But I can't seem to figure out how to use DUN from the Dash to the TM506.
Many BT profile features on the TM506 are not visible to the Dash. Especially DUN and PAN. The BT serial port is visible but theres no application on the Dash to take advantage of this like the SE PC Suite does.
I've attached a picture of the BT services provided by the TM506 to a PC using the Widcomm BT stack.
Looks like the picture is too small. I'll try to post a better one.

Larger Photo of TM506 BT service to a PC with Widcomm BT Stack. The SE PC Suite uses the Serial Port to connect. Use can also use Dial-Up directly. In the photo I was using PAN - notice the green connected icon.

Audio over Bluetooth question

Hi all, I can’t seem to find a straight answer on this forum about how to connect my SX66 (WM6.1) to my Windows XP PC over Bluetooth so I can listen to my mp3s or internet radio on my HIFI system that’s connected to my PC?
I am using a Bluetooth USB stick and I have them both paired using the BT software the came with Windows XP.
I had tried BlueSoleil software in the past to listen to my music but I didn’t find it practical because it keeps disconnecting and I would need to pair them again.
I am running ROM version: 6.141 WWE, RADIO version: 1.02.10 and ExtROM version: BLACK KERNEL
Thanks

first of all let's make sure i got the question right:
you want to stream audio from your sx66 to your pc, right?
well that is no problem in general, since the sx66 is known to have better BT quality than most of the other BA models (further range, higher tx rate).
since windows xp does not come with a proper usable bluetooth client (unlike vista) i woul generally recommend bluesoleil, because it can be a handy tool, once you got all the settings right. plus you don't need extra drivers, since most of the BT chip manufacturers work with bluesoleil.
then all you have to do is pair your device with your pc and once that's done, set bluesoleil to allow the device to do all further things in all areas without further confirmation.
then you need to make sure you have the a2dpfix on your sx66, which is needed for stereo bt stream.
then, when paired, start wmp and play music, and look in the mixer on your pc, if a signal comes in, and what channel and turn it up / activate it for audio input.
(let me repeat that all this is so much easier in vista, and for every step i made the other day i have to think of 5 ones which are necessary to do the same on xp)
then your stream should work as long as you don't close wmp, if you do so and then want to continue playing, you need to connect to your pc in your BA's bluetooth app again, but need no settings on the px anymore which i guess is a relief.
back to the basics: if you really want to do that, you can do it now, but still i can't think of a reason why anyone should do that, i suppose the mp3s your playing come from your pc and you could play them there anyway, your pc can probably also play internet radio.
if that is a "i turn the screen off and control the music with my mobile!" thing, i can give you another freeware, with which you can control winamp, whenever you are connected via activesync, no matter if you are doing that via cable, cradle, BT or wi-fi.
i just gotta look it up, i don't have it right now either but it is great!
e.g. i want to control my music while playing, but with full screen games and without media keys on the pc's keyboard i need an external winamp control to (plus it also provides jump to and other things media keyboards can't do).
EDIT: i could not find the program i had to control winamp from my device, but it was a bit older, even worked with wm2003se, but i did find, that people do like to control their pc players from mobiles, therefore, a thread was made, to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294524
greetings Chef_Tony
P.S. please re-post, if it worked and if that is what you actually asked.

Thanks
Thank you for the quick reply; Yes you understood correctly.
It seems that BlueSoleil is the only solution for what I want to do, so I reinstalled (version: 6.4.245.0) again with the A2DPFix.CAB and it’s working for now.
Do you know where I can find a cab file to install on my BA to enable the rest of BlueSoleil services (Bluetooth phonebook….)? BlueSoleil is asking me to install “symbian\IVT-wm(1.0.2).CAB” on my device, but it doesn’t work and the only file I can find on this forum is the “bluesoleil_r2.arm_163.zip” for magician.

actually, for other services, like dialing, phoebook, sms and stuff i would suggest pairig the device, and setting up activesync via bluetooth, your phonebook is to be found in outlook then and for writing sms and completely controlling your device i would suggest MyMobiler, which is a freeware remote program which gets the BA's screen on the pc and you can control the device via the pc's keyboard and mouse. i also use that for making screenshots of new roms and stuff, it's free and works with activesync, so cradled, BT, wi-fi doesn't matter. that of course, doesn't 100% satisfy your question, i guess. i'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but be sure to check in this thread later, because i will edit, as soon as i found something that really brings you the services.

Thanks for the info. MyMobiler works great

By the way I uninstalled the A2DPFix because the sound was choppy.

Good evening,
Well MyMobiler is not working everytime on my device and i'd appreciate to find bluesoleil CE if it allows you to send sms from PC without having to link it anytime.
Have a nice evening.

Using Tilt 2 with a Bluetooth dongle

Hey all -
First post. I've searched all over and can't find a solution for this.
What I want to do is use a Bluetooth dongle to connect to my Tilt 2 (accomplished) so that I can listen to whatever audio is coming out of my sound card on my desktop have it transmitted to my phone, which I have headphones for.
It'd be a nice substitute for PC headphones, and would allow me to walk around the house without being wired to the desktop. If I missed a relevant post to this issue, please point me to it, because I looked all over and couldn't find anything.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If this is not possible and I'm asking for something that can't be done, please let me know.
I'm using Tilt 2 with a stock rom and an ISSCBTA (it says ISSC-5) dongle with windows XP sp3, if that helps at all.
As of right now, I've managed to open a few services like file sharing and serial port service. There is two audio options, but I can't access them.
I thought maybe the problem was the Bluetooth program I'm using on my Tilt 2, which is whatever comes with the stock rom.
Any which way I can figure out how to use my phone as a wireless headset for my computer is fine with me. Thanks in advance.

A dongle like that (I have a Jabra) is supposed to go to an audio out and pair to a device that accepts audio in. I believe the Tilt 2 BT audio profiles are only setup to send stereo audio out to another device and not to receive audio in. I'm pretty sure you can only use the BT on the phone going both ways for data transfer and not audio transfer.
