I am looking to hear from people who have vista and have actrivelync working via bluetooth. I am looking for the model or the bluetooth adapter and the procedure they used to get it to work.
I currently have the activesync listed on my phone as an option but despite that when I try to bluetooth activesync it says there is no device in range..
i had vista and it was working on mine...i actually have windows 7 rc now and its still working fine...i have the rocketfish bluetooth dongle from best buy...works great!!
cheers!!
I have vista and use it to sync with my Phone. I use a rocketfish bluetooth adapter. It works good you have to pair it with the computer first time like pairing a bluetooth headset. Just follow the pairing instructions on the phone and the computer also you have to make them both discoverable when pairing

Make sure "Windows Mobile Device Center" is up and running on your computer before connecting via ActiveSync from your phone. Let me know if you run into issues.

I have a Lobster with Windows Vista (Mobile Device Center 6.1)
Should it be possible by default (or is it possible at all) to surf the internet via Bluetooth / USB cable rather than GPRS?
I can Sync via Bluetooth fine.
Thanks for your help!
browsing via bluetooth or usb
You may have already got this working, but I only just saw your post.
The answer is yes, if your active-sync works actually the USB connection should connect you to the internet through the PC. Bluetooth is a bit more difficult since Microsoft has never understood bluetooth properly (compare with the Nokia PC suite where it takes about 2 clicks to set up!). Anyway after an hour or so of frustration I was able to browse over b/t on my Lobster.
Just for fun I installed Fring and was also able to use Skype and SIP the
same way.
Now just need to unlock the phone!
Good luck.
Mike.
Hi,
I've been running vegan 5.1b happily for sometime (and 3.0 etc before). Everything works, except for bluetooth headset connection: GTab keeps saying that it pairs with my device but it's not connected. I searched the forum but I couldn't find any solution; any suggestion?
Thanks!

I use one all the time with Beta5.1. Will your headset connect with other stuff?
mine will show as "paired" but that does not mean its connected at that moment.
Flick on your wifi settings go under blue tooth, click the head phones and MAKE it connect.
let us know if that works.

I have two BT phones and a BT headset (samsung WEP460). The headset does connect to the phones so at least the headset works.

My Gtab with vegan 5.1b does pair with all three BT devices but it won't connect. I long-pressed the headset icon on the Gtab to bring up the options; I clicked both "connect" and "audio devices" but it does not do anything.
I was on TnT Lite 2.2 before switching over to vegan (3.* and now 5.1b), and back then I was able to use BT to transfer files between my phones and GTab. Did something happended in between? (I did not try BT in vegan 3.*)
Thanks!

Anybody got the Bluetooth working with vegan 5.1?
I am having same issue. I think it might stem from not being able to enter the pair code into GTablet? The direction for my headset say i must type in 0001 on my phone after pairing. GTablet does not seem to have any way to do this.
Any Ideas?
For what it's worth, I haven't had any issues using my Rocketfish BT headphones with Vegan 5.1.
I use a Sonorix BT adaptor with regular sound isolation ear buds on vegan 5.1. It works great!
Pair then go into tablet bt settings under wireless.
Then.....
Pandora or Rhapsody while surfing or kindle reading.
I'm having the same issue with 5.1.1. Can't connect my motorola headset or my wiimote. They pair, but nothing will stay connected. Manually forcing a connect through the menu doesn't seem to do anything.
Likewise, I've got a Motorola H17 that connects fine with my Razr and N1 but woun't connect with my Vegan 5.1.1 with Clemsyn v8. Pairs correctly but no connection.

Replying to own post.
Just found Clemsyn's v9. Same thing. Still no connection.
It seems to be an issue with the tablet using VEGAn 5xx because I have that problem too yet no one had a solution so far, or at least no one posted a solution.
I have a Jawbone and my computer and both are paired but not connected. I did connect the Jawbone to my phone so the problem is not with the Jawbone but with the tablet.
Same issue here. I have tried quite a few different bluetooth devices with the same outcome. Can pair (or so it says) but unable to connect. No options found to force it.
Vegan 5.1 here also no bluetooth. Getting "Paired but not connected"
Anyone have a work around for this? Would love to ditch my USB cable to transfer files

You can transfer files wirelessly using an app called file expert. It creates a web site or ftp site with your wifi connection. It is not a fix but at least a work around.
Sent from my hacked Vibrant
Same here, I have a plantronics bluetooth headset that is "connected" but no sound, and make the tablet no sound also, have to reboot to get sound work again.

Motorola s10 HD works fine withvvegan 5.1.1
How can I transfer files between my Atrix and PC over Bluetooth?
I have one "bluetooth peripheral device" which does not have any drivers. lots of other bluetooth devices on the atrix aree discovered by windows 7 and found drivers.I can play atrix sound through pc speakers and use pc as a hands free system. both over bluetooth.
I think the one device on the atrix which win7 cant find drivers for must be used for file sharing.
I have no idea where one might find a driver..
EDIT:
Just tried it now and it worked :~0

You need this from the Market for your phone -----> Bluetooth File Transfer.
And a Bluetooth dongle for your PC like this ------> Wireless USB Bluetooth Dongle.
That should do it for you!
<edit> I'd have to check at home here, but this may only allow transfer from phone to PC. Heading to a party, so will maybe try tomorrow with bluetooth USB dongle I have at home.
Hello.
I'm trying to browse files on my HTC EVO 3D via bluetooth. To accomplish this, I went into:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Bluetooth Settings-> Bluetooth Advanced Settings
I enabled FTP Server
I then went to:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Bluetooth Settings->
And made the device discoverable.
From the Bluetooth Devices panel in Windows 7, I went to "Add a Device"
The device was found, I entered the pair code displayed in windows into my EVO 3D and then . . . I get an error message that the drivers were not installed properly.
If I select my HTC EVO 3D in the Bluetooth Devices panel and click "Troubleshoot" it detects problems ans suggests the followings:
Install a driver for this device
The Driver for Bluetooth Peripheral Device is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device.
Apply this fix
Skip this fix
Continue troubleshooting without applying this fix.
If I click "Apply this fix" it ultimately shows:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Bluetooth Peripheral Device X No Driver found
Since it doesn't have a driver, I can't access the EVO 3D.
Any ideas as to where I can find this driver or otherwise get this to work?
USB transfer works, HTC Sync works over USB, bluetooth headsets work, the phone pairs via bluetooth to the PC but I can't do anything with it because there are no drivers.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
ditto to the t, nice explanation of exactly whats happening.
Hahahaha works perfectly on my mac..
Do you have the htc drivers installed?
Edit: you do, did you try uninstalling them?
Same problem here man, i think its just 64-Bit because alot of other people are having the same problem with alot of devices while the 32-Bit guys are connecting without a hitch.
Windows bluetooth driver(s) for EVO 3D?
I'm having the same problem. I'm running Vista 32-bit. Where can I find the necessary bluetooth driver??
Thanks!
does any body has the solution??? I have the same problem, my laptop is HP dv5 1021et
I'm working on a carputer install with windows 7 32bit, and this is getting very frustrating. Has anyone contacted HTC on the issue? Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem, but very disappointed to find there's no solution yet.
Edit....
Emailed HTC support, will come back with response.
Mine connected fine.

HTC's response.
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with syncing your device by Bluetooth to your windows 7 PC. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device. You will want to make sure you have the most current Bluetooth drivers on your computer to try to connect your device by Bluetooth. When you connect your device with a vehicle Bluetooth system if it is compatible to sync over your contacts then it will but if it does not sync then it is possible it is not compatible. You will not be able to sync your information from your device to a PC via Bluetooth you will need to connect by USB cable and use HTC Sync to sync your information.
So it looks like there will be no data transfering, and it must be our Bluetooth devices don't have the proper drivers?
Clavoie- what Bluetooth dongle, or on-board Bluetooth device is windows using on your system?
Thanks!

I have an acer pc 64bit windows 7. Try uninstalling the BT software on your pc then reinstall it.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Has anyone ever found a fix for this? I tried all of the above but to no avail, and it is frustrating to say the least. Fresh install of Windows 7 32bit over Vista Business.
Still no fix for this?
I bought a bluetooth dongle on Amazon (ORICO BTA 403, CSR8510 A10 chipset) and installed it on my Windows 7 x64 computer.
The dongle installs fine and works perfectly with all my older phones but not with my Xperia S running Android 4.1.2.
Basically, if I install the automatic windows driver, and pair with the phone, windows complains about no drivers for the device, and I can't do anything with it.
If I install the supplied software (CSR Harmony wireless software stack) I can pair and the Xperia S is installed properly, the various audio services work (I can stream music to PC using BT), but I still can't send or receive files, either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC.
The connection times out after a second and gives me a connectivity error. It's like the phone refuses to connect to the PC, both when transferring and receiving.
I don't know if the phone is the problem, it seems to not work only when doing file transfers with PC, if I try to transfer files to other phones or to my mac (which has built in BT) it works fine.
Is there any way to fix this issue? Any way to troubleshoot this issue to tell if the problem comes from the phone or the dongle?
Searching with google I can't find any solution, I just get lost into a sea of bluetooth problems which have nothing to do with what I'm experiencing.
By the way, using Airdroid instead of BT is not a fix.

your problem is bare and I think you can try these two solutions out:
1- Restart your phone and check whether your problem has solved or not. 2- Restart your windows and also turn off your Antivirus and firewall and try again.

1.Its not a phone its Headphones. 2.Restart made no difference plus Antivirus/firewall not the cause, seems to be a driver problem when installing from windows update! Ta all the same.
The problem is ****ty drivers from the manufacturer. I installed Bluesoleil and it worked perfectly. Another solution is to use the Windows stack by manually installing drivers from the MS Windows Mobile Suite (or whatever it's called, I don't remember) but that only supports file transfer.
