Does anyone know why my Axim does not recognize my CF bluetooth card. I am using WIDCOMM software and it is properly installed on my Axim, but it still shows that my card is turned off when I put it in the CF slot.

Any suggestions?

I dont personally have any experience with bluetooth, but I was having the same problem with my WiFi card. I had to reinstall the drivers a few times to get it to kick in (I think my sync had a problem with installing software). You should go to "Start / Settings" and then click on the 'Connections' tab and then click on the "Network Adapters" icon and make sure it is properly installed. If so, uninstall it directly from there and try to reinstall once again. Maybe it just had an issue installing. Before uninstalling unplug your cradle and replug it in. Maybe even in a new usb port. If it isnt there you know that your problem is it is not installed properly. Liek I said I have no experience with bluetooth, so im not even sure it would show up there, but id assume it would. Then after you have tried reinstalling again, try going to "Start / Settings" then the 'Connections' tab again, and then click on the "Connections" icon there, and clicking on "modify" under whichever setting you want and creating a setting specifically for the bluetooth adapter. That is what I had to do for my wifi card so i assume its the same.
Hope this helps out some.

I'm having the same problem with an Anycom CF card. At least the support peoples are really trying to help. I will post all new development.

I have the same problem with Eagletec BT CF card. When I put it in the slot, the led just flash for a sec (in the iPAQ was on continuosly) and the widcom-s driver says its turned off.

Hi there !

I'm very intrested in bluetooth card for my axim (got it today !!!).
Any news from the anycom model ?
Bluetooth CF seems to be tricky on Axim

Bye !

go to remove programs and remove the bluetooth software from your dell axim, reinstall the driver again, thats what i did. try inserting the cf bluetooth firmly. hope this helps.

Thanks for the update. Anyway, anycom are sold out in France. I think I'll go for the socket one. Seems to work flawlessly on X5. I'll keep you posted.

Bye
