Hi everybody
I have a Charmer with v. 000.5b WM6 Essentials ROM for Charmer. After severals hours of (unsuccessfull ) advances and after reading many tutorials I´m not able to set a Bluetooth Network connection between my Charmer and my PC.
I'm wondering if there is a special BT Driver with the Bluetooth PAN capability for the Charmer undeer WM6 needed.I was able to set a Bluetooth Activesync connection between the PDA and the PC . But i would like to connect to the internet free of the crappy AS.
My MSI Star Key BT-dongle can pair with the PDA and I see a BT-Network-shortcut in My Bluetooth Places. But doubleclick on it cause just a error message : ... not able to set a connection
If i go in WM6 to Settings - Connections - Connections i can set a new modem connection and if i choose - Select Modem : Bluetooth - it starts to search for the BT modem , finds My PC , but there are just the services : Activesync and Headset.
If i look to - NetworkCards i can find a PAN Bluettoth driver.
If you can help me i will be very glad. I tried almost any tutorial , but they are commonly for WM2003 and they are different with mine. E.g. there is no Bluetooth-Manager under WM6.
Thanks for reply
i spent also already tons of hours getting this to work and i assume its somehow related to the charmer ROM i am using. I find my pc but under Settings - Connections - Connections when i set a new modem connection and select Bluetooth it finds my PC , but there are no services available.
i am thinking of going back to wm5 and trying it again.

Good Day,
I too am having this issue.
I am not using a cooked rom of any type, I am using an HTC Vogue with the factory rom installed (Windows Mobile 6 Professional: CE OS 5.2.1620 Build 18125.0.4.2).
From the reading I have done it leads me to believe that that the connection has to be setup using the Bluetooth DUN setups/addons/registry tweaks discussed in numerous posts within this forum.
However, I have been unable to find instructions that have been successful on my device.
My goal with this setup is to be able to go to friends houses as I travel, insert a Bluetooth USB dongle into their PC, and QUICKLY setup a PAN to borrow their internet connection for my device. To summarize I am looking for a solution to easily to connect to the internet without having to install ActiveSync on their machines.
Any input is apreciated, Thank You!
i got it
I finally go it to work with bluetooth and dund. the distribution i am using is ubuntu. HERE its described and that is the way its working for me too.

Delete your Partnerships on your device.
Than go to ActiveSync (Device) en press Menu, Connect Via Bleutooth. Than all you have to do is follow the instructionts.
I have Windows Mobile 5 (Full version) + ActiveSync 4 and it works perfect!
Don't forget to install your bluetooth doggle (or at your laptop) software
its still not working
any other solution

I updated my 8525 with the official AT&T AKU 3.5.2. When I enable Internet Sharing and connect the phone via USB to my Mac, it kills Bluetooth and nothing happens.
With AKU 3.3, this was not an issue. I tried it on a Macbook Pro and a Macbook with the same result. No problem using Bluetooth PAN, but slow.
Just for the fun of it, I tried Internet Sharing with Windows XP running in Parallels, and it works fine via USB cable.
Anyone having the same issue? Any registry hacks or drivers to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Ted
There must be a Mac user here who upgraded t AKU 3.5.
What do you mean by "it kills Bluetooth and nothing happens"?
Does it kill your bluetooth on your mac or on your 8525?
Are you trying to both do internet sharing via USB and connect to your Mac via Bluetooth from your 8525 at the same time?

After I enable ICS on my 8525, and connect the USB cable to MAC, somehow, the bluetooth on my MAC gets disabled [Bluetooth Not Avaible message with the icon grey out], and my 8525 still says "check USB cable". But, there's no connection. I made sure that BT is disabled on my phone, and PC to USB is unchecked.
Just as a test, I connected my 8525 to another MAC that doesn't even have Missing Sync and the same thing happened. With ICS on, USB connection basically disables Bluetooth. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why that happens. USB shouldn't interfere with Bluetooth.
In the meantime, it works fine with PC.
Hope someone can shed some insight.

Any MAC user here willing to help a poor sould?

I see the same thing on AKU 3.5 and Tiger 10.4.9 when I just tried it. Once 10.4.9 came out and supported PAN, I stopped using the USB connection. I still get 400kbps or so with Bluetooth, so there's I don't really have a reason to use USB (plus the Hermes drains a MacBook Pro's battery rather fast - I can drain a notebook battery in an hour with the phone plugged in vs. 3 hours without).
Jmat, thanks for the reply. It's good to know that it's not just my phone. I hope this can be fixed though. I do use BT PAN with OS X 10.4.9, but it would be nice to have the USB option since it's about 2x faster.
I cannot understand why USB connection would wipe out Bluetooth on my MAC though.
I know someone here will figure it out.
eh, 10.4.9 supports pan? news to me. i use my pc more than my mac, so i think i only have 10.4.8. i have the latest aku (as far as i know) from the newest cingular rom. i'll give it a shot.
Internet Sharing + OS X
I was able to tether 8525 to powerbook G4 thru bluetooth for internet connection. Then clicking the dropdown for the phone icon and clicking bluetooth. It would dial then authenticate, and I would be connected to the internet. In doing that, I needed to download Tytn modem script for mac modem, it worked great! However, I recently upgraded the ROM (2.06)on the 8525, and now Internet Sharing is the protocol for for Wireless Modem. This method directs the device to connect thru bluetooth by joining the network associated with the Pocket PC, once connected in the bluetooth icon dropdown, I try to access webpages and I get "Not Connected to the Internet."
I've heard of AKU, can someone please refresh my memory, and will it be necessary to update to correct my issue?
Can someone please assist me with using the 8525 to tether with a Powerbook G4 to connect to the internet?
**NOTE** Also, MissingSync for 8525 does not work since the ROM update. I was never successful connecting to it thru BT, but it worked great thru USB. Now I try to connect thru USB , the connection is lost when attempting to start MissingSync app. Any Ideas??
Thank you

Internet Sharing + OSX
I've been using my Hermes to connect to the internet from my powerbook for a few month (BT connection). It was working OK although conflicting with direct push.
Since I upgraded to AKU 3.3 and use internet sharing, it is now much more reliable, connects fast and transparently.
I recently got MissingSync to work, by enabling advanced USB settings thru the phone.
My other issue that is still unresolved is that when I connect the BT PAN from the phone, and join network from the BT setting from the MAC, I connect successfully, but I still can not access internet on MAC. It appears that there are internal settings that need to be altered to access web pages once connected thru BT PAN/Internet share? Any Ideas, please help! Thank you.

Can you tell me how you set up the connection? I've paired my Hermes and Powerbook, turned internet sharing on, I can join the PAN network but the Powerbook refuses to connect to the internet.
PB PAN
Have you set your network conf to Automatic?
I have a TomTom Go 910 and an M3100 running WM6.
I have been using the hands-free BT connection with no problem.
However, I recently tried to set up a data connection to access TomTom Plus services through the phone over BT, and the setup routine fails every time. (I have no problem connecting to the internet over WAP from the phone in general).
Of course, TomTom support refuse to help, telling me that the phone is not supported for the 910. According to them I should not even be able to use the hands-free feature...
Before I go spending hours trying different ROMs and BT stacks etc., does anyone out there have the same setup (even with a 710 or 510) and got it to work? (No point wasting time if they are simply not compatible and no one has actually got it to work).
Thanks for your help
My very basic guess is that you need to use the Internet Connection Sharing program on windows mobile, as just paring the devices won't do anything.
So I guess I fire ICS up and and choose Bluetooth PAN and then try to see if TomTom sees it.?
I'll try tonight and report back.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Let us know how it goes. But isn't WM6 lacking either PAN or DUN that's required to establish the connection?
No luck using ICS

Well, I tried it... no luck. TomTom still insists on going through a DUN setup routine (entering access point, GPRS dial-up number, etc.) and promptly fails both with automatic and manual setup. It does not detect the PAN already running with ICS connected.
I wonder if DUN can be ported back to WM6 with CABs from WM5?
Any other ideas?
Is a well known problem since WM5 AKU 3.0, DUN disappeared (Dial Up Network, using WM as remote modem, via Activesync or BT)
Any TOM TOM Go and TOM TOM One, (not used by ATHENA users, we have our GPS) need IT to be connected with the PDA. In some cases DUN could be usefull also for Athena users, but it was removed from latest WM5 and WM6 Rom (the majority of Nokia and Sony smartphones have it)
Now someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21 posted the .cab to restore it on a TyTN.
Sleuth put it on his new rom, I've tested on my X7500 (HTC WM6 rom) and I am having some config problem on the USB side...
My be it could be interesting also for some ATHENA user
tried on my touch and tried to dial from my athena with *99# and didnt work..
Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you set up a modem in Settings > Connections > Connections > Tasks > Add a new modem connection? Just need an APN, user name and password, which vary depending on your ISP (I have AT&T). Modem string and *99# no longer necessary.
If you want to use your Athena as a modem for your laptop, either through a USB or Bluetooth connection, just use Internet Sharing under Programs.
im trying to share between ppc to ppc ...
hy,
I cannot connect athena100 to tomtom go910.
I upgrades WM5 to WM6, I installes BT_DUN, tries several ways, but it doesn't work, I always got a message of DUN-connection problem;
I managed perfectly well on touch, but I have no succes with atnena100;
could you help me?
I'd say use wmwifirouter for this. It will work perfectly for internet sharing with about anything around you over usb BT or wifi
Thank you Astain, but I need a DUN-connection because TomTom does not use ICS.
Do you have a solution for that?
Hi There,
I have upgraded my Atom Life to WM6 (latest version from O2 site). Everything works well. But I have problems with syn via bluetooth and IrDA. Please see my problem below:
Before syn with bluetooth or IR, I can syn with USB well.
* For IrDA:
+ When I choose syn with IR from activesyn menu on Pocket PC it shows "Attention required" then I click on this it shows "Connection Not valid: cannot open the connection 'infrared port'. This connection does not exist or no longer support. Select a difference connection or try again"
+ I am sure that: IR in range and I can do this many time on WM5 as well as send and receive file between my Atom life and My Laptop.
* For Bluetooth:
+ When I choose syn with Bluetooth from activesyn menu on PPC it show "Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSyn Would you like to set up Partnership now?"
+ I am sure that: Bluetooth in rang and pair with my laptop, I can send and receive file between my Atom life and Laprop. I can syn via bluetooth with WM5 many times.
If anyboby know what are the problems and solutions for these please let me know. If you can point me some document that would be great.
Thanks in advance
I dont own Atom Life, however sounds like you havent got the COM Ports configured properly...with MS generic bt drivers add (Incoming connection) port (usually COM3 is selected by default) after adding the port go to Connection settings in Activesync and under (allow connection to one of the following) select COM3. Assuming you have already paired your device now go to bt connection settings in device and tap your PC name then tap refresh, wait until it discovers A/S, tick the box then add a com port on your device too. I usually select COM6 but I do not believe it matters. good luck if that doesnt work then you should ask O2.
PS...if you already have an existing partnership and its not syncing, then delete partnership from PC and device and start again.
Thanks for your information but I still not work. I did check carefully incoming connection port and I also configured allowing connect wireless on ActiveSync to connect this port. Every step, I think correctly because I configured and sync with WM5 in the day before I update WM6. I don't know why It happens when I upgrade to WM6 then I could not syn with Bluetooth and IrDA. Maybe, I should get help from O2 support centre.
