well, i just recognized that my bt always autostarts on a softreset, but i cant deactivate it after this, the bt icon (bottom right corner) is there but i cant click on it
any suggestions?
1- And from settings->Bluetooth settings?
just to see whether you can't turned it off at all.
2- Sometimes in the response is bad and the interface appears after a long time.
Sorry have no solution. Had sometimes the same problem.
Regards,
Mark
to 1.)
when i go to settings - bt settings it shows me the widcomm bt settings, but not the ms settings (i have both, widcomm and ms bt) i also deleted the widcomm bt from the startup folder, so theres only one bt driver loaded,...
edit: oh no, my fault, its not the widcomm settings, its the ms ****, with bt beam authentication, active sync setup and serial port setup , i know there was another bt settings where i could enable and disable it, but where is it?
the one with activesync bluetooth and..........
is in system->system
the one with turning on and off and bonding devices is in
system->connections
there is only one bt icon in connections, and thats the one for widcomm's
hello,
i have a question about activesync:
while my ppc is connected to my vista pc it is connected to it over activesync/mobile device center. during this connection, it searchs for any changes on the pc or ppc and syncs them, if there was a change.
but the frequency of these automatic syncs is too high
even if there is no change, it searches for over 2 minutes and during this time the prophet has a 100% cpu usage and responds very slow.
so using the ppc while it is in the docking station is a bit difficult now.
is there any way to decrease this automatic sync frequency?
and it would be nice, if i could disable this completely.
btw: i hadn't this long sync time with pdaviet 4.0.0.0.3. it has started with 4.0.0.0.5 and remained with 4.0.0.0.6.
I'm interested in this as well... I hate how activesync 4.x took away "sync only at connect"
The strange thing is, for older devices, activesync reverts back to the 3.7x interface and allows this option. (i tried with my old typhoon smartphone running wm2003)
no one here knows how to change this? =)
Serveral FAQ's (here for example) claims it's not possible to change manually this frequency starting with ActiveSync 4.x
Disabling ActiveSync's sync frequency
Hello,
I had the same concern in order to reduce ActiveSync frequency.
It seems that there was an frequency tab inside Tools/Options that disappeared since version ActiveSync 4.x .
I just know how to disable ActiveSync when I plug my PDA with an USB cable.
When you plug in the USB cable, a new Network Connection appears that says "Windows Mobile Connection".
Just click on it with the right button and "Disable" it!
That's it. Your PDA gets the battery charged and you only will synchronize when you Enable the connection at the end of the day
Cheers
Guys, I've waited to find a solution, it's been almost 10 months, and I wonder if I'm the only one with the problem. I can sync via USB cable, but not via Bluetooth. My setup:
Computer: Vista Ultimate 32bit running WMDC v 6.1
PPC: Dopod 181pro G3 WM6 PDAViet 4005b.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.
You must change AS config. on your PPC for BT connection
What do you mean? Under my BT in my PPC, I have ActiveSync checked. It does try to connect with WMDC, but it just never actually connects.
Has anyone gotten bluetooth sync to work under Vista and WM6? I'm starting to think there is either something missing on the WM6 PDAViet, or the Vista BT stack is missing something.
So, find the bluetooth settings in Vista. I can't help you much here since I'm using a german version.
Systemsteuerung\Hardware und Sound\Bluetooth-Geräte
(Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Bluetooth-Devices?)
Open the panel and select COM-Ports, and add a Port for an incoming connection. Don't forget to pair the devices and tell the WMDC its allowed to use Bluetooth connections.
hope it works for you
p.s. I can't get my WM5 device to connect, its an hx4700. My Hermes works fine (WM6). Any suggestions on that maybe?
Ok thanks all, I finally got it kinda working. Kinda, cause it doesn't work all the time for some strange reason. The only thing I did to finally get it to work is, after I paired the PPC and computer up, I went to the BT icon on my desktop and clicked it open, and selected the 'HTC Phophet' icon, and under the service tab, I checked off Activesync. Then it was able to connect. It took a while to connect though, and also sometimes, it would not connect. Also, the speed is really slow, for example, to browse my PPC folders takes a very long time. I wonder if it's my upgraded radio rom. I will see if rebooting or soft resetting the PC/PPC would solve anything. Thanks again.

I could use some help with this too....
Been trying unsuccessfully to sync my Athena X7501 via BT with my lil' Kohjinsha SH6/Vista Home Premium but no go...

Any suggestions????

if you see "serial port" instead of "active sync" during getting them to 'see each other' you may check "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SerialPort" key using regedit.
you have to change it to your bluetooth stack's incoming COM port (usually COM7). You will probably see "Bluetooth" in that key. just change it to "COM7" and restart the computer then rebind the devices.
it worked for me on my vista.

Thanks for that input, gokhanmoral!!
Will check that out....
OK, did a search in RegEdit for
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SerialPort"
but it didn't find this....
I do see
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\" with several subfolders in it....
One folder is called 'Extended Serial' and another is 'Services'....
Can you be verify the path to the item I should edit???
Thanks!

it is not a path but it is a REG_SZ (string) key.
sorry, my mistake. I should have written SerialPort key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services.
see the attached image.
it was "Bluetooth" before I change it.
I had no option to select COM7 in WMDC because it is marked as "used" in another registry but changing it and reinstalling the bluetooth stack is a harder way to fix. so just change it to whichever port your stack is using for incoming serial. you must have an option to check it in control panel.

Thanks for the clarification...edited that key....
Weird thing is that my X7501 and laptop can 'see each other' but still doesn't sync....when I click on 'sync' in ActiveSync on X7501 nothing happens and on laptop Mobile Device Center says 'Not Connected' and Sync Center shows the partnership with my X7501 as 'grayed out' looking.....
Not sure what you mean by 'you must have an option to check it in control panel...
Any suggestions as to what to check now???
Why Don't I See 'ActiveSync' Listed in BT Services List?
Seems that the problem I'm having getting my 7501 to sync to a PC via BT has to do with no having ActiveSync show up in the list of available services in BT partnership settings.
I just see Serial Port listed, not ActiveSync.
Could it be that I need to install ActiveSync again?
I'm using Vista on PC so I thought it uses Mobile Device Center and Sync Center which comes built-in to Vista. So didn't install ActiveSync myself...
Does ActiveSync install anything onto a mobile device like the X7501?
Thanks,
Mark
Frustrated X7501 BT Sync'r.....
GOT BT Sync Finally!
Just thought this might help someone else down the road to know what the problem turned out to be on why I couldn't BT Sync my X7501 and my laptop....
I called HTC this morning. They were actually extremely helpful!
Turns out that my laptop was using BlueSoleil BT software instead of MS BT Stack...deleted BlueSoleil and restarted and voila! MS BT Stack installed and then I could see ActiveSync service on my X7501!!!!
Who would of thought about that.....
Still troubled with bluetooth sync via WMDC/Active Sync

I have the same problem. Seems to be a fairly common one. My WM6 PPC (with Active Sync) will not sync via bluetooth to my Vista Ultimate "powered" machine with WMDC. No trouble syncing via USB. Also no trouble with bluetooth pairing of the PPC and my machine or sending files (directly) from one to the other via bluetooth. Just no syncing of Calender, Tasks, etc. over bluetooth. Kind of infuriating.
Also possibly worth noting---I had no trouble syncing same PPC to my old XP powered machine with Active Sync. Why did Microsoft insist on "improving" on something (Active Sync) that worked just fine and was straightforward to use? Vista and WMDC in particular are steps backward in my view.
Pointless griping aside, the symptoms suggest that bluetooth stacks are working, that active sync and WMDC are talking (over USB), just no syncing, suggesting something is inconsistent in the way the ports are set up, just as others have implied in this thread.
Incidentally I tried everything listed in this thread, including the Regedit modification (all of this made a lot of sense given the problem) and still get no response when I try to sync over bluetooth.
On my ppc the only options for com ports are COM2, COM4, COM6 and COM8. Does this matter?
Help!? Please.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Well, as for myself, it tured out that my problem had something to do with the pocket pc ROM I installed, as posted in the first thread. It would sync a few times at first, then never again. So, all this time (years) I've just done it with USB wire.
Now I just got done upgrading my Prophet to Ultimate v 2 ROM. And my BT active Sync is now working like normal. I knew from the description of the first paragraph there was something wrong with my flash of the new ROM or the ROM itself. Anyway, now it's working like normal. It's now time to go fix my headphone jack that is stuck in headphone mode lol. I need a new PPC!

My USB Port is broken. It was soldered but has broken again, and this time I think for good. I bought a high capacity battery (2 days only) and charger that charges the battery separately and I am forced to swap out the battery whenever it is dead.
I was able to flash successfully via SD Card to the PDAViet WM6.1 20273 ROM (removed the header, renamed nb0 and the extended image file only - but this did not fix the camera that crashes every time it is launched, the led test in diagnostics also fails).
Is there a way to flash the camera module as well from SD Card?
Now I want to sync the phone.
I have triend syncing over Infra-red and Bluetooth with no success. All the tutorials speak of syncing first via USB then the bluetooth option will work, but I can not do that.
Is there a hack/registry edit to allow the phone to sync over bluetooth without syncing over USB first?
I am looking also for a combination of apps that I can install via CAB that will allow me to transfer contacts AND install applications without ActiveSync for programmes that require ActiveSync. I prefer to get ActivSync over BT working though.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions
BT Syncing without USB
I got the BT syncing without first syncing over USB (on Vista only so far)
I followed this http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/05/how-to-sync-via-bluetooth-with-wmdc-in-windows-vista/ with a couple restarts and it works!
Next to get the camera working...
syncing bt via activesync is a sinch, piece-a-piss!
Use MS bt stack
PC...go-to COM Ports (bluetooth ooptions) add incoming port and remember it, now open Activesync 'Connection Settings' and select the same Port from the drop down box.
PPC... open BT settings and pair with PC, upon hitting 'refresh' you will see Activesync animation on PC Taskbar, dont forget to add outgoing COM Port (6) in PPC.

I realised before that the registry edit was not neccessary because WMDC 6.1 in Vista had the option to choose the BT serial port of your BT device in a drop down list. Actually I did not have to create an outgoing COM Port on the PPC to get it to work.
Hi folks, my car's flunky bluetooth kit flakes out when downloading the my touch pro's contacts. If I empty out the contacts list on the phone, the car's bluetooth kit works fine.
So, one way to prevent the contacts to download to the car is to disable PBAP profile. Is there a reg key or tool to do that?
ATT's Fuze version of activesync won't let me sync by category (the option is disabled), so I can't just reduce the number of contacts downloaded.
I've searched the wiki and googled it, no joy.
Cheers, and Thanks!
If i'm not mistaken, it was Bluetooth SIM Access Profile (BTSAP) which u can disable it in many ways.
Maybe u can prevent the boot call by deleting this key.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Launch99"="SAPSettings.exe"
I tried this and no joy. This only turns off the SIM Access Profile (SAP) which btw can also be turned off with the Bluetooth manager on the phone.
Anybody have luck with reg keys/tools?
Disable PBAP in WM 6.1
