Bluetooth active sync

[sk7575]

I am trying to get active sync to work over my bluetooth connection to my laptop. I have a partnership defined in the phone, serial port, com 6. I can connect to the phone from the laptop via the bluetooth connection manager. However, when I try and "connect via bluetooth" from the phone it tells me no partnership exists that can connect via bluetooth. However, one clearly does. I also try and connect to the phone over bluetooth from my laptop with active sync, and it just says it can't find the phone. ANy suggestions?

Thanks!

You need remove the partenership and re-pair with your PC from within Active Sync (using Connect via BT). You have to let ActiveSync handle the profile thing instead of manually setup COM port. Once you paired this way, you will see an ActiveSync profile listed for your PC on your phone. Don't try to outsmart ActiveSync. It's really dumb and only works according to its way.

I tried that and its still not working. Same message from the phone. I dont see anywhere in activesyc though that has profiles. Am I missing something? Do i need a newer version of activesync? (I am running summiters latest rom 2.3 for cingular).

Did you remove profiles from both phone and PC. You don't want to manally set COM port connection. After pairing from ActiveSync, you PC will be listed with an ActiveSync Service option instead of Serial port option.

-- I was running activesync 4.2 beta on my PC. Went down to 4.1 and i'm trying to get it going now.

I did remove it from both PC and phone and it sitll didnt work, but i will try here with 4.1.

Nope. Still not working even with 4.1.

If you go to settings->Connections->Bluetooth->Devices, what are the services listed for your PC?

I got it working. Thanks for your help!

How did you get it working? I'm a new user and I have exactly the same problem. If I go to 'settings->Connections->Bluetooth->Devices' I see that Activesync is checked but handsfree is not checked.

I'm not able to connect, either. I go to connect via BT, setup a new partnership, exit back to activesync, and it still says the same - "cannot find an existing partnership that supports Activesync."

That is good. Now all you need to do it go to activeSync->menu->Connect via BT. You should see status dialog popup and it starts to connect. Make sure on your PC side, you allow the incoming BT connection and ActiveSync is set to allow connect through the COM port BT activesync is using.
