Widcomm Bluetooth Activesync Shortcut on Today Screen

[rz1]

Hello All,

I have have the Widcomm Bluetooth stack installed on an X51v.
My Activesync over bluetooth is working like a charm through the shortcut in the Bluetooth Manager.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get that shortcut on to my Today screen?

I'm currently using Ilauncher and I have know idea on how to create a shortcut to the Bluetooth Activesync.

This question can also be expanded on how to create any other Bluetooth shortcuts from the Widcomm Bluetooth manager.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

This is totally untested on my part, mainly through lack of time, but I, too, am looking for a shorter way to access all of the profiles and wireless. I came across this in the xda-developers forum. I've downloaded it but haven't tried is. If you try, report on your experiences. thanx

Hi,

Can you tell me how you got your activesync running over bluetooth? I'm pulling my hair out with this one!! Thanks for any help you can give.

Hey luvlumps,

Need more info before I can help out :)

Are you using Widcomm or MS Stack?
Also, did you install MemMaid and delete your notification queue?

For weeks, I had problems with my BT AS but it was because I deleted a critical notification in Memaid.

Check out this site also.... It help me out a lot as well for removing phantom COM Ports...

This is a good idea and I hope that a shortcut for AS over BT (widcomm) will soon be installed on my Axim

rz1,

Here's the sitch: I got an Axim x51v last Sunday from a buddy of mine. It's about a year old. I went through tons of threads and managed to get my rom up to A12. I installed the widcomm stack. I can pair with my stereo heaset and get music perfectly. I paired with my Moto Razor and can use it as a modem. I have paired with my laptop but I can't sync over BT. Here's the deal... Old Dell Latitude with no builtin BT. I bought an IOgear dongle and it comes with a widcomm stack. All kinds of services available. I can use file transfer with no problem. I can't for the life of me figure out this activesync crap over BT. I noticed in the services on the Ax there is activesync over BT listed; there is NO such service in the laptop stack. Is this the problem? Is there a place I can find the Widcomm stack for Win XP that will match the stack I loaded on the Ax? I looked under Bluetooth: About and it shows:
Bluetooth for Windows CE
BT-PPC Version 1.7.1 Build 3400
This came from the forum on this site about the state of development of the widcomm stack

BTW - I've read about using the MS stack vs. the Widcomm but unfortunately, this is a work laptop with a custom rollout of Win XP that does not have the MS drivers.

Hey DeeCee52,

No luck using the Shortcutcreator app since I don't know the exact parameters the BT Manager shortcut is using. I did find the registry address for all the BT Manager shortcuts:

[HKLM\Software\Widcomm\Connections]

Can anyone help out an fellow axim member out :) ?

I think this shortcut idea would be useful to everybody using bluetooth :)

Thanks for the link DeeCee52 :)

Hey Luvlumps,

Assuming your running Widcomm on your laptop....
On your laptop:
Double-click "My Bluetooth Places"
Click "View My Bluetooth services"
Click "View or modify configuration"
Click the "Local Services" tab
Click "Add Serial Service"
In the "General Tab" , type "Activesync" and take note of the COM Port
Click the "OK" button.

You should see Windows do it's thing of installing a new serial port.

Now, double click your activesync icon in the taskbar.
Click the File menu and select "Connection Settings..."
Check the "Allow connections to one of the following:" and enter the COM Port number you just added.

On your AX,
Go to your BT Manager, make a new shortcut and select Activesync via Bluetooth
Select your paired laptop
Your activesync you just created should show up

If this doesn't work....
Make sure your COM Port number is less than 10.... I've read somewhere that Activesync doesn't support COM Ports more than 10.... hence having to remove phantom COM Ports....

If all else fails, you may have to do a hard reset on your Ax and start from scratch.

Hope this helps...
