Hi guys
I just got a Dash and I am trying to setup a incoming com port. I used to have a SDA and I had the options to select incoming com port and out going com port.
Also I was wondering if anyone can tell me why after I pair my device with my computer I cant see serial port as a option on my computer. On my phone it list Wireless Stereo, Serial Port, and Headset but on computer I can only see:
Network Access Point
OBEX Object Push
Voice Gateway
Thanks

Hi I use cradle to connect PDA2K with my desktop PC with no problem... but I cant connect my PDA2K with my Desktop PC via Bluetooth with active sync[]
When I am making a new com port with the software of my Dongle USB Bluetooth, the COM Port takes the number 15 or 16. But the PDA2K use inbound port 5 and outbound 6.
Any help???

Hi.
I posted this a couple of weeks ago. You need to reset the com ports.....
I spent hours and hours trying to sep up ActiveSync and I found these and sorted it:
Bluetooth Drivers:
First I removed the old Bluetooth drivers as they are not needed.

Com ports:
Then I reset the com ports.

Does anybody know how to 2 Bluetooth Serial ports on the XDAII ?
I am using Pocket Bluetooth Tools to give me a Bluetooth Serial Port. However I only get COM7 appear in the dropdown list when I bond a SPP Bluetooth device.
This has been fine for a couple of years as I only had a Serial Port Plug for plugging into equipment instead of using a Comm1 Cable and I run a VT100 Terminal Program.
However I have now got TomTom and have a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I am getting tired of having to delete one SPP device and then rebond the other to the only Com7 Port.
There must be a way of having 1 on Com7 and the other on another virtual serial port, but as I said earlier only Com7 appears on my XDA ?????????????
I cannot open COM1 on the Blue Angel
As far as I know this COM1 relates to the Pin headers RS232 connection.
I want to feed a GPS signal via this COM1 path.
Has anyone manage to make use of the COM1?? :?
Martin, go to Settings/ Connection tab IrDA and uncheck the "recieve all beams" check box, this ties up the serial port on the device, also if you use an external keyboard with the unit, or it has external keyboard software loaded open this application and switch the software from Keyboard to IrDA/ Serial - hope this gives you a clue - Mike
thanks this helped me too
Thanks
This sorted out my problem...TomTom is now alive and kicking
How do I create an incoming Bluetooth COM port? When I go to the COM ports tab in the Bluetooth settings, where I expect to find "New Outgoing Port" and "New Incoming Port", it's just blank. I need to create an incoming port to get my hands-free car kit working.
Using WM6 by the way, but think I still had this issue with orignal WM5.
Thanks!
You have 2 do thid on the pc, not the ppc. Go to bluetoothsettings in your configscreen on XP. then 3rd tab, comports, then add outgoing comport.
use this comport in your conection settings in activesync.

I was hoping that wouldn't be the only answer as I've not got an XP machine any more Can this be done from Vista? (not even sure by BT dongle works with Vista). Or do you know if it can be done from a Mac?
Thanks for the reply anyway.
Is it possible to use a Touch Pro2 GPS on a laptop via bluetooth?
I wouldnt bother. You can probably get a gps reciever for your comp for pretty cheap. Then you wouldnt have to use your phone at all. Using your phone as a gps reciever and sending the signal to your laptop might run your phones battery dead faster, so if you were gonna use your phone as gps reciever, youd probly want to use usb rather than bluetooth, then the phone is charging and you have your bluetooth freed up for phone calls. But I would still suggest a reciever for your laptop, you wouldnt have to bother hooking your phone up n setting everything up every time you want to use gps
But yes i believe it is possible, Im pretty sure I saw a program for windows phones somewhere, that did send the phones gps info thru bluetooth to comp
It is called GPS2Blue and I never had any luck with it on bluetooth, but have via USB.
i just tried gps2blue again after years , now with rhodium and could get to work both tcp -> com and bluetooth -> com
WORKS GREAT with garmin on my tablet pc. and garmin-pc is even kind of made the way to use it on touch screens.
what do you have for a software?
here's what I have done:
cable:
on PC, install the Czech program called 'virtual serial port for tcp/ip'
Instructions where to get it and how to set it are here: http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2BlueFAQ.html#USB
on pda in gps2blue check TCP and choose com4 (or your gps SW EMULATED com port)
in gps program on pc choose to connect to the com port you just created with 'virtual serial port'
bluetooth:
choose com2 in gps2blue and click ON, rhodium's bluetooth manager should popup asking what to do, create a new port for your PC and go.
there is a little mess with this, it created two com2 ports on pda, till one was asking for a pairing code, the other just get connected. And is not showing them in list, or sometimes showing one, but then not showing activesync port. But nevermind. it's working.
