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
P.S. Sorry for my bad english

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 am trying to get my laptop running linux to use my hermes as a modem over bluetooth. So far I am not succeeding, I have paired the phone and the laptop, but no services show up to share. I have sent files over bluetooth to the laptop and that is just fine.
Has anyone else done this? I really don't want to change my laptop back to windows just so I can surf the net using my phone.
Thanks
What distribution of linux and what window manager do you use?
And does the file transfer work both ways? (to the phone and from it).
I might help you a little
Using Ubuntu - Edgy Eft and Gnome.
I don't have a way for files to be sent from the latop, I am using the blue tooth file sharing program - which seems to be one way only.
I did this a long time ago, so I might have forgot something, but let's give it a try.
First check if you have a rfcomm device in /dev/, there should be something like rfcomm0.
And this is there if you have edited and paired your phone correctly!
(you should add your device to /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf)
Try Gnome-PPP, it's a very good program for dialup rutines ^^
Code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp
The gnome-ppp should be run in root mode because rfcomm device has no privileges, or then you could just chmod it.
But anyways, I've made a script for myself to turn on BT and start gnome-ppp, to run it with root privileges with the following command
Code:
gksudo -u root gnome-ppp
after that you see a window with username password etc.
press setup and put in the following config..
Setup
Now we need a init string! I have no idea what is your provider and what init string is needed for it.
In the Setup window press Init Strings...
And in the first place you set the string.
With Saunalahti as a provider I have a init string of:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.saunalahti"
notice that internet.saunalahti is the APN name for my providers internet gprs connections! So replace this with yours, or then contact your provider and ask for that info
Now back to the first window.
My ISP doesn't require any username but you can't connect without them so put in whatever you like for example
username: none and password: none
or
if you need username and password for your providers GPRS, then add them here
For the phonenumber set the number: *99#
Nothing else, that should be it then if I got it all and remember correct
Then just connect (notice that on TyTN there isn't any "connecting to GPRS" popups when you use a PPP from linux).

I've been successfully using my Wizard and Hermes as BT modems for GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connections, but only with WM5 (check out my tutorial here: http://klamstwo.org/evad/archives/20 ). After upgrading Hermes to WM6 I am no longer able to create rfcomm device, and I don't know why.
However, it is still possible to use GPRS/UMTS connection under Linux! I've managed to get it working through Bluetooth PAN profile. I'm planning to write some kind of tutorial on my blog pretty soon, but in meanwhile have a look here: http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN - this HOWTO describes quite comprehensively BT PAN usage under Linux.
Basically, you need to set up Internet Sharing via BT on your Hermes, and then connect from your Linux using pand daemon. Check out HOWTO, give it a try, if nothings comes up - feel free to ask here. Good luck.
Btw, my distro is FC6.

In WM5 it didn't work even with Windows (or I didn't know how to set it up properly). WM6 brings completely new Internet Sharing application which is accessible from Linux without big problems via Bluetooth PAN profile - check out my post above.
I'm planning to try connecting to internet through Hermes/WM6 via USB cable. I guess it's just a matter of installing some usb-driver. It's worth to try, as UMTS/HSDPA connection together with BT drains battery really (I mean REALLY) fast, and also - USB cable offers higher speeds than BT...
Nice to know, i'm using WM5 atm, waiting the official WM6 release from sweden (I live in finland and tried to contact finnish HTC regarding that matter), then I might look into it more.

I see your point now, I upgraded to a new ROM and AKU, now the wireless modem is gone and I cannot connect to a rfcomm device anymore. But there is the Internet Sharing application, I'm going to try your tutorial in a moment
What about USB modem?

Hi all,
It's my first post on this forum. But I'm looking forward to finding a way to use my HTC Wizard has a USB modem...
I've seen on another forum that configuring this device as an USB modem can be quite easy done on Windows. So it would be nice to have this working for Linux

You can get it working as modem the same way you could do it in WM5 - using the "internet sharing " application.
The problem described here is that when you do
$ sdptool browse <bluetooth_mac_address>
you see no services.
I have the same problem with ubuntu.
When I browse the services of another phone - a nokia for example - I see all of them .
However I had this problem with ubuntu even before upgrading to WM6.
So it seems the problem is in the bluez version delivered with ubuntu.
What I am going to try the next few days is to uninstall the ubuntu release of bluez and build the source code and install.
I had an issue with synce also with ubuntu - not working. So I downloaded synce 's sources and everything works now.

This is mainly because the connection method has changed in WM6.
In WM5 it was done via DUN (Dialup Networking Profile). WM6 Internet Connection Sharing does not utilise or advertise this profile when in place, but sets up a PUNU (Personal Area Network) profile, basically turning the Hermes into a router with dhcp services.
I followed the referenced howto and was able to get my laptop running FC6 connected to the Hermes and auto-assigning an IP address. Unfortunately, though, the connection was not stable and disconnects not long after it was established.
I'll have another read at the howto as I've noticed persistent connection flags that should force reconnection, however if I'm connected to the Company VPN, then I suspect that will continually drop also.
Can anyone post any success stories and configuration/command output that they used to create a stable connection?

It actually works stable, however I have never used single connection for more than like 30-60 minutes, yet - I guess.
Btw, works also with Fedora 7.
I'm pretty sure i have everything setup on the pc right. Serial port is configured in WIDCOMM drivers as COM5. Activesync is setup to listen for COM5.. but on the ppc all i see is a serial port selection in the bluetooth mgr and not activesync.. Anyone have any tips to get it working correctly?
It isn't real clear from your post, but I assume you are trying to set up bluetooth sync.
Some avenues for you to explore:
Have you set up a partnership through USB connection? If not, this should be first on your list of things to do.
Have you paired the devices? Turn your PPC to discoverable in bluetooth settings and have your PC search for new devices. The wizard should pick up the PPC and walk you through the pairing process.
Does your bluetooth module support the correct services? Older bluetooth dongles and radios might not support syncing pim info.
I have the exact same Problem.
Did everything like it is described here in the forums. Firewalls and antivir deactivated. Used the right COM ports. Settings in Active Sync match. Pairing successful. The WIDCOMM-Driver even renames the Serial Port to ActiveSync after pairing. But even after all that, if I'm trying to get a Connection from my phone by using the ActiveSync on my phone with "connect via bluetooth", I cannot see ActiveSync there, just Serial Port. Switching on the Beam (like in some boards suggested) had no success either.
I tried reinstalling all. I tried my desktop PC and my Laptop (same problem). ActiveSync does know the XDA when I'm using a cable. I tried deleting the profile and create it again. I tried the Microsoft bluetooth stack instead on my laptop. I tried using another COM-Port. I tried deleting the pairing from the registry on the phone.
I have a XDA Neo / HTC Prophet with WM6 ProphetTouchIX, an Anycom BT-200 Bluetooth Dongle with WIDCOMM based driver. WINXP SP2 with the newest Security updates and Active Sync 4.5.
If anyone has any new suggestions, please post them here. If you have the exact same problem, post here, what you've tried to solve it, maybe we can at least find out, what's causing it.
found this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=287820&highlight=widcomm+bluetooth

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!!

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'm struggling to restore BT Dial-Up Networking profile in my i780. I've used known solution for this, but it doesn't work exactly as it should.
After changing HKLM\Software\Microsoft\BTHATCI\Port from '5' (default) to '3', I've managed to get to the stage, where DUN profile is recognised by other devices (my Nokia N810 Internet Tablet in particular), but when I try to actually connect - it fails. However, it seems like really close to the definitive connection - there is BT communication between devices, even Data Call Manager in i780 indicates 'general.t-mobile.uk' data call, while N810 is still waiting for connection and eventually dies.
Because I've had DUN working excellent between N810 and HTC Kaiser, powered by dutty's WM6.1, I've manually checked all DUN-related registry settings in Kaiser and i780 - they are all the same. The only different bits that are relevant here, are \Windows\atcmdint.dll and \Windows\bthatci.dll files. I've tried to copy them across from Kaiser to i780, but I can't - as they are protected by the system.
I don't have any other ideas what could cause such problems. DUN service is detected, I can initiate connection, but I can't get it finally connected. I think mentioned above files are the very last resort in this case. Is there any way of extracting system-protected files from \Windows directory? Or maybe someone has it saved somewhere and could send them out? Thanks in advance for any advise.
I've managed to figure out that phone doesn't respond to ATDT command. It takes AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","general.t-mobile.uk" initstring correctly (hence Data Call Manager shows APN), but when it comes to ATDT*99# - it fails with the error. I've also tried to dial ATDT*99***X# where X=0-6 but also no luck.
Any suggestions?
