Upgrade went fine, used the v24 w/ opera version, but have a couple issues.
Biggest issue is that Bluetooth file transfer doesn't seem to work anymore with my iMac. I try to initiate a transfer and it says " there is already a transfer in progress", even after a soft reset, re-pairing, etc. It also says " your device appears to not support this feature", but it worked fine with WinMo 6.0, which came preloaded out of the box. I mostly upgraded for the performance and sliding panels, but the bluetooth issue is annoying.
The other problem is that Opera just won't install from the "my extras" menu. Also, my JOGGR randomly acts crazy, flipping between links on an IE webpage, only a soft reset fixes it
Any insight?
Install the latest Kavana ROM and stay away from the bloated "v24" version
I have WM6.1 V24 Ricky. My Bluetooth works just fine. In fact I'm posting wirelessly via a T-Mobile Dash Bluetooth PAN connection to a network server that feeds internet to all network devices, including the computer I'm typing on. So I don't think the problem is V24.
If you have a Broadcom BT adapter you may want to go to http://broadcom.com and download the latest BT drivers. I did this and it helped my server which was running 100% CPU with the old drivers. Updating the drivers also incidentally increased the BT PAN connection speed from 700K to 2000k (2Mps).

I just noticed this problem today - though I think it may have been happening for a few days.
OE & IE have been hanging a lot (most unusal for my PC). So I had a good clearout & spy/adaware/antivirus blitz too - nothing! When I checked my process list I discovered OUTLOOK.EXE running happily away. Initially I thought I had a worm but it looks like it only kicks in when ActiveSync is running and then I have to manually delete the process afterwards.
Around the time this all started I upgraded to the latest ROM etc and setup bluetooth on my PC and PDA. All eventually worked ok - after I removed 17 virtual COM ports from my device manager! I can now sync & surf via bluetooth if I need to - first choice is WIFI though.
Any comments would be appreciated - more concerned that whatever it is, is hanging OE & IE from time to time. If need be I'll remove the bluetooth on my PC and see if that makes any difference.
Have you installed activesync v4?
Hi Swoopster.
No I haven't - read conflicting reports online - admittedly didn't look into it very far but decided to stick with 3.8.0
Do you think I should try ver. 4?
Cheers
I installed one of the original activesync 4 betas and had the odd few issues with that. I found that it partially removed the issues with outlook locking up.
Moving to the released version of activesync 4 and my outlook issues have disappeared. Outlook remains open whenever the xda is syncing (and when i'm using it), otherwise it just closes it down and removes it whenever you remove your xda.
There is a clean way of shutting down a locked office app as well... In 2003 you have the microsoft application recovery tool which will force shut down the apps for you.
Cheers.
Outlook sticking and Activesync
Ihave the same problem with Outlook "sticking" and I have to end task when I want to back up my .pst file.
It happened with Activesync 3.8 and still with 4.0.
I could not downgrade Activesync back to 3.8 (by uninstalling 4.0 and reinstalling 3.8)- may just be me though !!!!
Dear All
Please help: I have an O2 XDA IIs which MS Activesync 4.1 does not detect, despite all my efforts during the last few days (I also have an old iPAQ 1940 which Activesync detects fine).
The XDA is from work, so could it be that it is somehow locked, and if so, how can I unlock it?
Also, as an alternative, can I sync the XDA with my PC via Bluetooth through the iPAQ's?
Any ideas will be gratefully received!
Many thanks in advance,

Hi there,
I've Looked through hundreds of forums and although I have seem similiar I haven't found a resolution to my exact problem.
Due to the fact that I've been trying to resolve this issue on and off all day it's probably something really simple... :roll:
HISTORY
PDA
Was running WM2003SE on a Xda IIS.
PC
ActiveSync 3.8 on Laptop with Windows 2000 SP4 and all updates. Laptop on a home LAN with router. No firewall software and have since removed all Spyware removal software, (after doing one last scan).
My Task \ Issue \ Problem
I wanted to to the upgrade to WM2005 and followed all the usual procedures. The one mistake I may have made was to install the very very latest 4.1 Activesync without removing 3.8. However at this stage my XDA was still on 2003SE and synced perfectly with 4.1 Activesync.
I performed the upgrade to WM2005 including patches and as far as the XDA is concerned everything appears to be working.
Activesync however doesn't work. Via the USB cradle Windows 2000 detected a device and under device properties it's was listed as Generic RNDIS, it's now listed as a windows mobile based-device. I don't have an entry in my network connections, although I think this only happens with Windows XP. I've tried uninstalling Activesync, removing the rapi.dll file, reinstalling etc, I even did the former and removed entries within the registry and running a registry fixer but to no avail.
I then decided the Bluetooth route but cannot sync via this method either. I can actually succesfully connect from PC to XDA and vice versa but cannot use these connections for Activesync.
I have another Hard Drive for this Laptop which I use for testing. I can simply shut down, swap drives and boot again to another build. The other build is also Windows 2000 with SP4 and pretty much nothing else. I've installed Activesync 4.1 onto this machine, plugged in the cradle and everything works fine.
So..... I know the XDA is fine, The cradle's okay and Activesync 4.1 actually works with my XDA OS. The problem is it doesn't work on one particular build. I believe this is actually a Activesync issue but due to some form of conflict with my build. It's currently out of the question for me to rebuild so my mission is to find out what's conflicting.
Just to summarise though..... Activesync 4.1 was working fine, I upgraded XDA to WM2003 to WM2005 and then it stopped. The other harddisk proves that Activesync does actually work with my XDA.
Pheeeew...... I hope somebody doesn't suggest lack of information.... :lol: :lol:
So the reason for the post?? Well if anybody else is having frustrations, (which I'm sure I'm not the only one judging my my searching), your not alone.
I think a lot of people's problems have actually been resolved by the latest version of Activesync, (4.1), and other people have resolved by sorting out the main culprit of firewalls.
For me though I'll keep searching..... if any of you can think of any other ideas I can use for diagnosing the problem I'll appreciate it.
Thanks in advance..... sorry for the waffle.....
RESOLVED
Okay.... During further searching I noticed people mentioning VPN clients interfering.
I did have SecureRemote VPN installed which I use for work purposes.
I uninstalled SecureRemote but had to uninstall & re-install Activesync again. This time it's working.....
I will, (but not tonight), re-install the VPN client and see what happens. If Activesync countinues to work then, apart from being happy, it's worth making a note of.
If it doesn't work then I'll start to investigate why...... I know the new active sync does some form of IP connection but I cannot accept that it won't work with VPN's installed.
use windows XP (SP2) ...
first install the activesyn and then restart your computer.
then attach your pocket pc with usb cable.
and try to connect.
its works for me...
I want to dump my blackberry phone and just use my jasjar. Early reviews of the German ROM with BB Connect seemed to indicate that I would need to download an older T-Mobile ROM with an older radio stack to get BB connect to work.
Can someone point me to a good combination of a more recent ROM (english) with the BB Client software that I can use with a US T-Mobile Enterprise BB account.
thanks,
--Kia
Hi,
you can download the BBC-Client from Vodafone (German version, dunno if there's a WWE one). It's not provider locked like the T-Mobile one and works great with my Uni.
I have the latest qtek rom with radio 1.09 on it.

Blackberry connect working on unversal
I managed to get everything working. Thanks for the link. In addition here is the link to the activesync with the Blackberry desktop software.
http://support.vodafone.de/publicfiles/ActiveSyncInstaller2.1.1.9.zip
First I installed the bbclient on the uni and then the desktop software it read my settings from the other blackberry desktop (the one used with my device) automatically.
Everything is fine except when the Universal is docked it disconnects the GPRS tunnel; probabely firewall issues.
any ideas?

Glad to hear that you got it working.
The disconnect is a normal behaviour. BBConnect will always disconnect from GPRS a soon as you attach the device to ASync. AFAIK there is nothing you can do about.

Use Airfix and checkit out, it will not kill Wireless connection while Active Sync is on. Cheers,
Strange thing - when i turn off my device (having BB client running) after i turn it back on in 10 minutes - BB is down and there is no icon in the taskbar. It does even disappear in Settings !
I've installed BB Connect on SD card.
Anybody experienced anything like that ?
Resolved.
BBConnect HAS to be installed in the main memory - no way to make it work correctly been on SD.
One more issue noticed - from the first try i was not able to see the BlackBerry folders in the list of my messanger. Messages are comming and i can preview them at the bottom of the screen, but when i goto messenger (standard) i do not see anything.
I've created a new dummy mail account and - VOILA ! i can see the BlackBerry folders. After 3-4 hours is disappeared again. :-( . I removed the dummy account and again was able to see the BB folders for a while. Then the whole story repeats.
Don't understand how to overlwhelm this.
Anybody has any ideas ?

Do you know if this software can work with every mobile provider? I'm in spain, using vodafone but they told me doesn't support this sofware and said nothing is available to use BB in a universal...Maybe a commercial matter in order to sell BB hardware...
Hi chaps,
Excuse what might seem like a stupid question from a newbie...but....got my new Orbit a couple of days ago....and straight away, the problems came in thick and fast!!
Has anyone successfully set one of these things up to Activesync via bluetooth??? Mine is stubbornly refusing to do so...
Also...my FM radio plays nothing but Simon and Garfunkel, since all I get is "The sound of Silence" Nothing....zip...zero is being played
It spat on my TomTom's auto install, until I handraulically installed the cabs, must say, this sat nav is head and shoulders above the same software on my old XDA II, using a wired GPS Antenna...nice
Anybody any ideas (I spent 2hrs on the phone with O2 about the bluetooth this week, and they just put their hands up in the air!!)
Nice site btw

Why not trying this here:

Bluetooth Activesync works ok using the Microsoft XP SP2 stack instead of Widcomm or Toshiba:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288761
I tried and failed with Widcomm, but got it working 1st time once I used the MS stack.
Had the same problem with Tomtom. For me it was because my version of tt (5) was for an older version of WM. Installer didn't work, but manually dragged cabs were fine. I suspect tt6 installs fine.
F.
Mine is WIDCOMM, how to I get it to run the MS stack?
works fine with Toshiba, and the older versions of widcomm.
Toshiba stack always has an incoming port on com 7
set this and it will work fine (make sure you have the latest version of the stack from http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php)
Not tried with the latest versions cos my MIS key runs bluesoleil :-(
Try this
open my bluetooth places.
click bluetooth at the top of the windows (next to file, edit etc.)
click advanced configuration
click local services
note the port associated with the bluetooth serial port service.
open activesync on the pc
click file
click connection settings
set the com port here. (it must be lower than 20 for activesync 4.x)
click ok
open activesync on the device
tap menu
tap connect via bluetooth
tap yes when it asks about creating a pairing.
tap new device (if your device is already there, delete it. not totally necessary, but cleaner)
select your device and tap next
enter passkey
tap next
once it scans for services on the computer, it should find activesync.
tick it and tap finish
in activesync, tap menu
tap connect via bluetooth
should be gravy!
I have multiple PCs that I would like to pair with my TP2 over bluetooth. I do not really want to sync any data, I just want them to be paired so that I can easily share internet connection or explore the storage of my device on the PC without having to re-pair.
I was running EnergyROM Leo M2.5 (build 28002) and I was able to get the TP2 to remember 3 bluetooth-paired PCs. They would all appear in the paired devices list. If I added another one, the most-recently-paired one would disappear and be replaced by the one I just added.
I have now switched ROMs to EnergyROM Phoenix M2.1 (build 28011). Now, the bluetooth will only remember one (1) PC. Everytime I go to another PC I must re-pair and the already-paired one disappears from the list. This is really, really irritating.
Is there any way to fix this? Does it have anything to do with the ROM version I am running now? I mean they are both WM6.5 and the only difference was the newer build and the Manila interface version..
I was thinking, maybe I can insert all of the paired device data into the registry and force it to remember all of my PCs. Has anyone ever tried this?
