Bluetooth? Help

[Timewarp]

Hello,

On my I-Mate JAM I only seem to have one Bluetooth port available? Is this correct (see attached shots)?

Incidentally, I can't seem to get ActiveSync to work over BT anymore - I'm wondering whether it's related to this or not? ActiveSync with BT worked at first but ActiveSync will only work over USB now. :?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

you should define the com port on you Pc on local services under advaced configuraions on your bluetooth. Then use the sma port on your I-Mate

SMA port?

I've just tried the following:-

* Setup an incoming port on my PC
* In ActiveSync connection settings, selected that port as the serial cable port.
* Created a partnership using my I-Mate to find the PC.

I just keep getting the message below, even though it's setup on my PC. :?

Even if I try deleting the partnership and recreating it after this message I have no luck. :x

What could be wrong? Cheers!

Try this:

I forgot where I found it, but I make a copy on my pc.

1)On your PC go to the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth". In the "Options" tab, make sure all the ticks are on. You'll now see a little bluetooth icon on your system tray. Makes it easier to access in the future. Your PC should also be ready to be found as long as you ticked the fist box in the step above.

2)On your Jam, Go to Start, Settings, System (Tab), Bluetooth Settings. On the screen that comes up you ONLY want to hit start. Leave the incoming and outgoing checkboxes OFF!!!

3)You will now be taken to the partnership screen, where you just follow the instructions to add your PC. Follow through until you hit finish. Close everything down until you're back at the today screen.

4)Back to your PC, double click on the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Go to "Com Ports" (Tab) and click "Add". Choose incoming. A You'll see an incoming port added to the list (probably be the only item there). It should look like "COM X Incoming"
Remember what number is after COM. Close all windows, making sure you hit OK or Apply where you have to.

5)Open Active Sync on your PC. Hit File, Connection Settings. Enable the first tick, and select the COM port you had to remember in the previous step. Hit OK

6)Open Active Sync on your Jam. Choose Tools, Connect Via Bluetooth.

I hope above help!

Thanks, Artosoft. That's got me so far. The device gets past the "User Authenticated" stage with ActiveSync opening on the PC, but the sync doesn't actually occur, it disconnects at that stage.

Any ideas? Thanks again.

Try soft reset your ppc maybe...?
