Bluetooth crazy

[Guest dave55]

Hi

Searched frantically for a solution to connecting my C500 to active sync by bluetooth.

I know the problem but not the answer, so how do you change the bloody com port setting on Win xp as my bluetooth adapter keeps setting itself at com port 10.

No xp2 update as my laptop crashes if i try to instal that and sync needs coms 1/3 and wont let me change. My cheap and cheerful Nokia 7600 banged itself on first time with tons mores services than my SPVC500, anybody idea's.

The ports on the PC and phone are irrelivent. Are you trying to connect from the phone? If so what happens? Are you using Widcomm drivers?

Activestink only goes up to com9 I believe.

Go into XP's Device Manager and the com port in question and reduce the number there in advanced properties for the com port. Otherwise search for HKLMsystemCurrentControlSetCom Name Arbiter on the net and take careful note of what people say to reduce the number that the computer allocates to the next com port.

I used to go to Com10 but after setting the parameter in this reg keyu on XP, I jnow start at com6 instead.

BUT, I never got activestink working on Bluetooth so it didn't do much good really.

Good luck, u will need it.

Well after many hours of trying i'am admitting defeat. There has got to be a fault with the phones or active sync's software. There are far to many posts on the subject for there not to be. All posts just seem to repeat themselves, closest i came was when the phone said connecting but just hung and had to reboot after battery out. One possible bug is when the phones trying to connect and you go to menu and advanced pc settings it locks up good and proper.

Forgetting active sync aside is there a way to just transfer files as even this basic option does not work with my smart technologies usb bluetooth dongle. And no ia explorer does not do it to my pc but does to my mates pda... Keep on trying will check up every now and then for a breakthrough. :twisted: :twisted:
