i just thought i'd let you guys know that this guie works for activesync 4 and a c500 running wm5.
there are a couple of commands and settings that are either missing or in a slightly different place, but anytime there was a missing part i just skipped it. like the part where turning on com 6 and 7 on the phone i just skipped that part but it still synced up fine. the funny part being that to sync via the cable i need to turn off the firewall but i can happy sync via bt with the firewall on LOL good job |

Ok had an spv e200 couldn't get bt working properly bought my son a c500 same problems now got myself a c500 which is slightly different to my sons c500 ie menu options are different ( no com ports option in bt set up on older c500 to mention just one difference) I have followed the bulletproof guide to a T but falls on its face when trying to find the com 6 and com 7 selection page it just isnt there. i have come across this page on e200 but can't find it anymore and anyway c500 is definately different to e200. any help would be appreciated. also does this help cure the problem of the obex file push thingy that windows says is the problem when trying to bt files from pc to c500 and not finding pc when sending file from c500 to pc. help help help
Simon Edit...... read above and decided to go ahead without the "com 6 com 7 screen" and wow i am synching with bt. cheers for the tutorial but is anyone able to shine a light on why when trying to send a file over bluetooth (not via active sync) from pc to phone = obex file push problem. and from phone to pc via resco explorer 2003 latest release the phone just carries on searching wether recieve file is enabled on bluetooth on pc or not. i read a post on here wich says to click my bluetooth places either on desktop start menu or control pannel then further steps to enable obex but this icon seems to have no function whatsoever. how do i get obex file push to work. any search on internet for obex seems to return only the same queery i have. please help ta. also bluetooth seems to have no function phone to phone when using spvs.????

I'm using Widcomm drivers and this guide helped, but still required a little figuring out.
Anyway, I got the setup working (PC xp2 & Audiovox5600) and everything synced all day just fine. But, the next day I came back into work and it would no longer sync. I went in and removed the pair on both the phone and the PC. Repaired them and it worked again. The next day... didn't work again. Unpaired and repaired the devices and it worked again.. and the loop goes on and on. Anyone have any pointers for me so that I don't have to keep resetting everything everyday? Ward |

This guide finally made it work with Activesync and BT. Thanks!!
I could not figure out why I some times had a lot of trouble when starting up the laptop and get lots of messages that the COM port is not responding and if I want to disconnect the com port from activesync. Then lots of hassle before they "hook up" again. Seems the problem is that I have not always put the BT dongle in the same USB port. If I changed the usb port, activesync did not understand what was going on. Is MS going to make it more user-friendly to use Activesync and BT in any new version (Im using activesync 3.8). |

Another thank you from a grateful user of your guide.
I too have spent months trying to make activesync work on BT - and have never suceeded. Then your guide - and it all works perfectly, finally free of the wires!!! PS: One thing I'm not clear about: is the cup of coffee optional or a requirement to make the thing work??? :> |

Great easy to follow guide. I have aproblem though...
On my C500, when I try to add a COM port, 'New Outgoing Port' is greyed out, and thus I can not check it. Does anyone know how to sort this? Thanks in advance |

Ok, so that will be my downfall. I am using a work laptop and so I have very little rights, let alone administrative ones. Will try on home pc to see if it works there.
Cheers for your comments |

Help!
 I am really new to bluetooth... and I have just baught a bluetooth dongle... I have tried to follow your guide but I cannot find this 'Microsoft Bluetooth Driver', I downloaded the auto update it recommended but it gives me no Bluetooth icon bottom right, or anything saying my dongle is connected. I have also tried adding my bluetooth driver which came with the dongle but that is nothing like what you show in the screenshots so I cant add a device. I would REALLY appreciate some help with this! Thank You, Chris. [EDIT] So basically I am stuck on this first step, i cant do anything!
