HOW to USE ActiveSync over BT with Toshiba stack

[pa3x]

I found this by googling, and successfully connected to my Vista Laptop.
Here it is solution:

Firstly, on your host machine, open Regedit and navigate to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SerialPort
and change the value from Bluetooth to your incoming bluetooth COM port. Normally this is COM7 if you are using v5 of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (the Vista compatible version). Change the value to "COM7" (without the quotes).

You will need to restart your machine.
Now pair your Windows Mobile device with your host machine. You should see the ActiveSync service listed. If you've previously paired your device, then you would have seen "Serial Port" listed as a service (which isn't enough to get ActiveSync working). Instead go into the properties of the bluetooth device and select "refresh" to get an updated list of services that your host PC is advertising. ActiveSync should now be an option. Select it. Now, when using ActiveSync on your WM device, Connect via Bluetooth should work just fine.

I found second better solution. Then you can use Windows SideShow as well.

1. Uninstall Toshiba BT stack.
2. Go to Dev Mgmt.
3. Find Unknown device
4. Update driver
5. List all drivers
6. Find Cambridge manufacturer
7. install Generic Radio

Thats all.

I used many websites, a lot with very similar advice, but none specific to the HTC touch Diamond conundrum.

However, this is a very useful step by step guide:
http://www.inspectmygadget.com/2007/05/31/how-to-connect-your-wm5-device-to-wmdc-via-bluetooth/, which although provides advice for WM 5, is still the same principle.

The advice below is device specific

I use:
HTC Touch Diamond (with WM 6.1)
WMDC 6.1
Bluesoleil V6 Bluetooth Dongle

Although I had found the above advice on previous websites, and it had not worked I remained persistent.

I was able to find 'Activesync' as a service when, on my PC, changed the WMDC connection settings to COM 3.
However every time I tried to 'connect via BT' on my device, it said 'no partnership existed......'.

I therefore established some more com ports on my computer (in addition to COM 3, COM 4, COM 5 which I had taken authorisation off of):
COM 6
COM 7. Both without authorisation.

I then used the trial and error method to find which com port would broadcast 'activesync' to my device. It was still COM 3.

However, on trying 'activesync via BT'on my device this time, it began to connect!!!

I am not sure whether opening up the extra ports (COM 6 and COM 7) or whether my computer/device decided it was now the time to play ball since it realised I was about to take a cricket bat to it worked but it now syncs fantastically.
