ActiveSync over bluetooth with BlueSoleil - MoDaCo

ActiveSync over bluetooth with BlueSoleil - MoDaCo:

"Delete any exiting partnerships on the PC and the phone

Open Active Sync (With out the phone connected)

Open the connection settings (this will take ages its trying to find the phone, but hang in there it will eventually give up and display the options)

Select connect to this port.. And select COM7.
>> comment: ensure the com-ports are enabled in the search; this seems to have enabled the ActiveSync Service

Close Active Sync and reboot your PC
>> comment: not required for me

Make sure your phones bluetooth is on.

Open Active Sync on your phone

Select sync over bluetooth.
Its should now say there are no connections that support active sync, and ask if you would like to set one up, say yes.

It will now go though the standard bluetooth set up but hopefully in the services section at the end you should be able to tick Active Sync."

-- why was the com-port disabled?

Activesync connects only as a guest solved!! - PDAPhoneHome.com:

"Check and see of the registration key at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
and see whether a key named
GuestOnly has a value of 1.

If it does then change the value to 0 to allow you to setup a partnership."


-- or delete the key. But how it got set, I don't know.

Now I just need to get the WM 5.0 PDA (FSC LOOX N560) to find the host pc's BT ActiveSync connection. It has worked for years, and suddently i'ts gone.

1. Save installed on the PDA firmware (ROM) using the utility ROM Backup (detail)

2. If your PDA operating system is different from the language of the new firmware, then in order to successfully make the upgrade PDA using PocketLOOX ... FlashTool.exe, in the title should be a new firmware install the same language as your PDA. Using ROM Lang (detailed), you can change the language firmware to successfully ask (what would you have not set any language in the firmware with this tool, language itself will not change firmware).

3. Cradle of USB, cradle connected to a power supply, power supply - the network.

4. The battery is charged at the PDA 100%

5. PDA and PC saw each other through ActiveSync.

6. If you have files stored on the SD through Encryption, to avoid losing data in these files, I recommend to rewrite them with the PDA to PC via ActiveSync.

7. Memory card (SD) to remove from the PDA.

8. I recommend at the time of firmware for PC, from which the program will PDA, disable the firewall (including built-in system). Because the operating system on your PC at this time would be open to attacks from outside, at the time firmware disable your computer from the local network, the Internet.

9. Remove all sekretki and remove passwords from PDA. Check whether withdrawn password in the FSC Secure Lock.

10. Download from this site proshivalschik (FlashTool) and firmware for your PDA. Unpack archives and place the files received from 2 - x archives in one directory on the PC.

11. Start program firmware (for N560 -> PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe, for S550 -> PocketLOOXC550FlashTool.exe), started Xbox PDA, against the backdrop of dolphins fill two strips on PDA, the screen time out, there were climbers.

12. PDA is removed from the cradle, are waiting longer to blink when the full upper left LED set PDA (calibration screen, etc.).

13. Overburden PC (or you can start to implement the program at PC wcescomm.exe), present the PDA in the cradle configured, set up ActiveSync on the PC.

14. The result should be synchronized with time on the PDA time at PC, the device exchanged data.

15. If there is a way out PC to the Internet, that the Internet was available in the PDA do the following:

- not removing the PDA from the cradle, press the button briefly Power, PDA moved to sleep,
- the gap occurs connect through ActiveSync, waiting a couple of seconds, push the button Power. PDA awakened, automatically synchronized with a PC, then on the PDA is accessible through the Internet PC. Should automatically zakachatsya data via satellites QuickGPS (from whom she is at the PDA).

16. VoilĂ  ...

The procedure in firmware OS Microsoft Vista is described here. (i.e. elsewhere!!!)


Rarely, but sometimes that after the firmware, inserting the PDA in the cradle, the PDA appears that began charging batteries and the battery is not charged, that is in less than 10% battery charge, although before the firmware was 100%. Then you need to remove the PDA from the cradle and make a cold restart.

-- Amazing gadget. However, I'll stick to my Pentax W10. It has been great for snorkelling and takes great pictures, both above and under the surface. You'd look rather silly taking above-surface pics with the yellow mask.
