Bluetooth and WMDC

[nacnack]

I just got my new Dell M1210 and no matter what I try I can not get my Q to sync BT with Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC). It works flawlessly with the USB cable, BT Remote & BT Send object: but WILL NOT sync with WMDC to update files and outlook under any conditions. I even had Dell tech support do the "remote assistance" and they couldn't get it to work. SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE of the software if it doesn't work?

I have traveled throughout the internet to try and find an answer for this problem with no avail. SUCKS

Anyone have a workaround let me know....

Dell XPS Mobile M1210 Vista Premium
2ghz Core Duo
2gbs DDR2 Ram
80gb HD 7200rpm
BT
Wifi 11n
Intergrated Broadband wireless card (Verizon)
Bla bla bla and more (BTW, Awesome system)

If it makes you feel better, I'm sitting in the same boat. It simply says:

Bluetooth Activesync
Service not found

The service you are requesting is not supported on the device. Please make sure the device is ready and the service is enabled.

I enabled bluetooth in WMDC, created a partneship, and also added the Q to the PAN.... still no go. Anybody?

Its a no go for me... I've set every setting 10 times and changed com-ports so many times in the bluetooth settings my eyes hurt. Nada!

The funny thing is that I can access my Q as a drive through My Computer and see the root directory only on any setting I change in the bluetooth setup. But WMDC won't load via bluetooth...OH well maybe some day there will be a patch for this.

I have a Sprint Q with the updated firmware and there is no 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE
Services\SerialPort'
There is a 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\S erial\Ports' with a value 'SupportedPorts' and a list of ports COM0 through COM9.

My phone was setup in the PC with COM17 as the incoming. I added this value to the registry and rebooted the phone but still nothing.

Couldn't find how to change the COM port value in the PC (uninstalling and re-installing only gets even higher numbered COM ports).

Any ideas?

Ok, what worked for me is that I put the same Comport number off my phone into the system registry but under "'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window s CE Services\serial port\COM1 (Like my phone)" Now what I think your missing is that this string is located in the System Register ON YOUR PC, not your phone. (you may want to reboot first after doing the system register changes)

Once set, then I turn my BT on my phone and open up the BT connection on my PC and search for my phone. once my phone is found as a new BT device on my PC I finish the install.
THEN...I search for my PC network connection on my phone (Via BT) and make sure it shows a connection on my PC, once connected NOW I'm ready to try Active Sync on my phone.
I disconnect the network connection on my phone (You don't need that to active sync, its just a way to make sure your BT is set up correctly (At least for me.))
I open up WMDC on my PC and execute Activesync on my phone (Via BT) and walla, it works Now every once in a while I get this stupid connection error if I have left my PC running for days but rebooting my PC always fixes it. (no biggie)

duh, it was the registry on the PC not in the phone.

Thanks, worked great!
