You might need to uninstall some serial hardware or software to be able to do so. The other way is to manually set the port number but this might interfere with the functioning if the COM port is being used by another device. If you are sure the COM port is not being used by the other device, then you can set it up manually as explained in the following screen.
Next click the Advanced button and select the COM Port Number that you need to assign from the list box at the end of the dialog:. Click Yes and proceed to do the same for the other COM port. Tap New and select the "ActiveSync via Bluetooth" option. Follow the instructions on the screen and once your computer is listed, select the device and create a short-cut icon for the connection.
Next time you want to connect using Bluetooth, all you have to do is tap the short-cut icon and choose Connect. On your computer, click on the Devices tab on the same dialog as shown below and select the Pocket PC and click Properties and then click the Services tab and ensure the Serial port service is checked. You should have a successful connection. Enjoy synchronizing via Bluetooth with your Microsoft Bluetooth Transceiver!!!
Other than syncing your contacts, calendar, tasks and notes you can also sync the Emails on the Exchange server. ActiveSync can also be used to connect to a network or Internet. You can use this feature to perform tasks such as downloading non-Outlook e-mail messages or to browse the Internet.
The device did have Wi-Fi capabilities;however the minute I turned it on, it used to suck the handset battery big time! Note that the snapshots and features correspond to ActiveSync 4. I followed your instructions as soon as i click connect via bluetooth my laptop tells me device connected to serial port service.
Activesync starts showing connecting. How I can set a com port on my pc less then Hi there, Thank you for the info about bluetooth sync. Uninstalling Activesync, updating from 4. Changing the com ports in Device manager. Any clues would be so appreciated!!! Kind Regards. Press Ok. Press OK and try refreshing in the device.
Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate your time. However…regretably, the device still does not recognise activesync when I refresh it. Carlos, thanks for that pointer. I went from com 3 to com 7. Delete all existing partnerships from your phone and your PC.
Reboot both devices. Make a note of the port number, e. Click OK. Set your PC bluetooth mode to discoverable. Carlos, thanks for your latest post. After a refresh, it did indeed come up with the Active Synch service on the phone. All good so far as the tips before your post had not worked up until now!
Any further ideas? In answer to your question, yep, have turned on both Bluetooth on PC and phone. They can see each other! Another program may be using the the port, or it may not be valid.
Close any programs that use the port, restart the device and try again. I have also just restarted the pc and indeed the option to select COM8 as previously created is no longer there on the PC in Active Sync. I will try again and see what happens, following your instructions above, removing pairing etc. Thanks, Simon. Hi again Carlos, reconfigured everything again and no luck. Still has the same error message. Is there anything I can check?
At worst I can still synch via the USB cable but it seems to stop me using the internet…. Another question there in lies I guess — why does it do this? I guess the device is using the pc internet to connect and hence fighting with my pc for control over the internet?
Any ideas how to set this? Thanks Simon. Hi, thanx a lot for the info on sync over bluetooth. Vineet Akre. I had to do a bunch of looking around to finally get my setup to work, but I did. Then find My Bluetooth Serial Port and change it from disabled default to enabled.
Just mentioning it in the hopes it may help someone else. Simon, please check if Fastmacks suggestion will help you in resolving your COM port issue.
Please, help me out on this one!! Hi Marc, I also recently upgraded 2 days back to Vista and I was trying yesterday to sync via bluetooth and faced the same problem. Initially it was set to save camera pictures to the Photos directory, but I was able to change it to a folder in the storage card. Marc, If you still have trouble syncing with Vista, check this new article on my weblog. First off, thank you to everyone who posted their advice. I had the same problem and it helped correct it.
I am new to bluetooth and connection between my pda and computer. Second question — since Wifi sucks up battery power, if I keep my pda connected to my pc via bluetooth, does that mean I can surf the web on my pda via that bluetooth connection? Hi Carlos thanks for the steps.. I would like to mention one point here for tilt users.
I initially had a lot of problems connecting with activesync over USB let alone bluetooth and when i tried to connect with bluetooth i used to get the message like port is being used by some other program or port not available message.
I reinstalled activesync software hundred times but it did not work. The final way i could connect is:. I dont know what this feature is for but when i disabled it, everything is straight forward. But my final quest of connecting the using my tilt as a GPS receiver and syncing it with the GPS software either via bluetooth or usb installed on my laptop microsoft streets and trips is not achieved yet.
If anyone knows any forums where a similar topic is being discussed let me know. However it only works once. Yesterday morning it also happened.
I have to remove all the configurations, I reconfigure it again, and it will work. Can you help? Gabriel, I am not sure about WM, if the activesync on the PC support connection via bluetooth, the above steps should work.. When i go to my HTC device and refresh the bluetooth device i get a popup on the PC that says that the device is connected to the active sync service on COM5 — this is so frustrating and is making me wish I never got the HTC device — should be soooo simpole to setup and it is not…..
You first need to setup a working bluetooth partnership between your PC and the mobile. Try also sending files either way to test the bluetooth connection. After that if you start ActiveSync you should see it as a service when you refresh on the mobile device.. This tip really helped me!! But i have managed to get it to work with bluetooth with this tip ofcourse :D. Bah bluetooth crashed and now i cant connect anymore.
