Smartphone does not support Bluetooth Serial Port?

[Guest batha]

At on point read all of the threads and thoughts to get my 220 to activsync over bluetooth, with no luck so I gave up. Erased all confiiguration settings,did hard reset, established partnership using USB and got that working.

Now when I try to find the services that my 220 will support it tells me that "Smartphone does not support Bluetooth Serial Port."

This little message really sucks and I am stuck. Using Widdcom bluetooth which has worked fine with other hardware.

Any ideas?

Thanks

My Btooth synch works perfectly. I have to initiate it from the phone though. It doesn't show up as an available service, but it does work. I'm using the Socket Communications CF/PCMCIA Adapater card in the laptop with the BlueSoleil software. It only show DUN as the available service. Here's how it works for me though.

Open AS on the phone, select Synch Using Btooth from the Menu, setup the AS app on my computer to use the port it connects to. Sometimes the port changes though, so I have to reset the AS software to the right COM port. Once it's connected though it works perfectly.

I even used Btooth to synch and dial out on a GPRS connect on my laptop. I'm using Tmobile in the US though so the GPRS speed is 56k at best.

Hope this somehow helps.

I just got the Kensington bluetooth adapter and would like to synch my MPx220 using bluetooth. In your post above you said that you configured the Activesynch to use the same com port that the bluetooth uses. When I try and configure Activesynch, when I click on the serial ports I don't see the com port that my bluetooth adapter is using. In the hardward setup it shows COM11 and that is not available in the dropdown for serial ports in Activesynch.

Any help will be appreciated.

This sounds like a specific setup "feature" of the btooth card you have. My card is a Socket Communications CF card. The software I have on my laptop creates about 6 COM ports. You are right that several of them do not show up in the options, but the one I needed did. I really didn't do anything to trick it.

There may be a way in your btooth software to specify a port. I didn't need it, but my software for the Socket card does have an option for reserving a port for a specific device.

You could also try to click sync by btooth on the phone while running the connection wizard in Async. That may check ALL the ports. You will probably need to click the sync by btooth option on the phone several times during the wizard as the phone will fail to connect and stop trying...

Hope this helps!
