Re: Bluetooth active sync problem - Pocket PC Forums - Pocket PC Live!

???<br />Please can anyone help me with a step by step bluetooth setup for Active Sync V4.5.0 to a HP iPaq rw6815.<br />Running windows mobile 5  on the iPaq and a MSI star key bluetooth dongle with win xp Sp2 on desktop.<br /><br />The problem is - partnership is setup but data transfer/sync does not happen!<br /><br />Please help. >

The partnership is set with use of Active Sync on Bluetooth or USB?<br /><br />Regards,<br />Carty..

The initial partnership was setup in active sync via USB.<br />This partnership still exists/works.<br />The Bluetooth dongle also runs of a USB port (different port)<br />The problem is that the Bluetooth pairing is established in the bluetooth manager, but that Active sync will/con not use it. ><br /><br />

Make sure you have established a successful pairing or bonding of your Pocket PC device and PC. Then in the PC,<br />1. Go to the Computer's Bluetooth Devices window and click on 'COM Ports' tab, click Add, remember the COM Port number. Eg. 'COM Port 5'<br />2. Select 'Incoming (Device initiates the connection)' and click OK.<br />3. Open your Computer's ActiveSync program, select File menu, click Connections Settings<br />4. Select Allow connections to one of the following, remember the COM Port # from previously.<br /><br />And finally on your Pocket PC, turn on Bluetooh, open ActiveSync/Menu and select 'Connect via Bluetooth'. Thats about it!<br /><br />Regards,<br />Carty..

HI Carty,<br /><br />Thanx a lot - problem solved. The problem came from ActiveSync om the PPC. In mobile 5 ActiveSync asks you to setup a partnership out of ActiveSync. Only if you setup the partnership via ActiveSync do you get a option in the bluetooth manager to link up via "active sync" and not "file transfer" or "com port" in the select services to use tab!<br />Now it works 100% - Thanx again! ;D<br />
