[new release] VJBlueSync - enable and sync through BlueTooth

[vijay555]

http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJBlueSync/icon1.ico
VJBlueSync - WM2003 only

This program can be used to automatically enable BlueTooth, load ActiveSync and start a synchronization through BlueTooth, all in one step.

It can also be used to start an Infra Red Sync, close ActiveSync and disable BlueTooth

As ever, it requires use of command lines to configure options.
The cab will install shortcuts, but these will only be in the right place if you have an English language OS

This software is beta: the BlueTooth sync does not always work. However, if it doesn't, try it again. If it still does not, enable BlueTooth manually before syncing.

I didn't really want to release this software, since the BlueTooth option doesn't work 100% of the time. But I'd done all the work, so even if it works 1%, you might as well have it anyway.... It's difficult to debug this since you can't be connected to ActiveSync while testing it :roll:

hey vijay555,

that is the programm i'm looking for a whole week!!
thanks a lot for your work.
one thing:
your programm does't start the sync. it starts bluetooth and activ sync, but not the sync itselfs.(tried a lot of times incl restarts)
do you have an idea?
i start vjbluesync by the shortcut ( VJVlueSync Bluetooth) the programm created in startmenu.
ActivSync writes an error "synchronize with windows PC Errors: #now the time#". if i know click on tools->connect via bt every thing works fine.

thanks for your time

xlephant: I noticed the same thing, which is what I said on the page. try enabling the bluetooth first, manually, try bluetooth sync once manually, and then try VJBlueSync. I think the issue is timing, because the code used is exactly the same as for IRSync, and that works every time.

But I've run out of time to develop this one right now, I would rather not release it, but if I get a chance, I'll look at it again when I get a bit more time, and fix it properly. But i can't identify why it works sometimes, and not others... I got bored of it and just went back to developing VJOkButt instead. That was hard hard work!

If you can find a pattern that works on USB sync, I'll implement it. It does work, but not every time. Don't know why :(

Please indicate which hardware and OS you're using. Thanks!

Hi VJ/ xlephant,

I've been trying to do the same thing on WM5 (shame VJ's is WM2003 only) and came up with a not so short to set up porcess that works flawlessly so far for me. Have a look at the thread and you may be able to learn from what the other freeware is doing (if nothing else a few pointers).

The key for me is I use Wisbar Advanced, Pocket Bluetooth Tools and ToggleBTH (if you don't use WA as it isn't freeware though the other are the average user could use mortscript instead etc, but VJ you're good enough to code soemthing instead). Anyway, take a look at...
