Bluetooth Modem [Windows Mobile/HTC PDA]

Greetings all 'MacHeads' out there, I am trying, [and boy am I trying!] to use my PDA phone as a modem via bluetooth. It's an HTC device made for 'Orange' [SPV 3100] It has Windows mobile OS 5.1.465 [build 15673.3.3.1]. Any light shed would be gratefully received.
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you finally find the solution to pair those 2 devices (with the phone menu) ?

Bluetooth in Windows Mobile

Ok
so I am writing a MIDlet that requires access to Bluetooth. The 2 test phones I am using (T-Mobile MDA Vario and MDA III) are both runing Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.195.
The problem is: when I emulate the program in the computer, everything works fine. But when I install it on the phones, it seems it does not have access to the bluetooth as it does not show the BT address and friendly name. I already tried another phone (Sony Ericson k 750i) and it worked fine.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
The code I wrote follows:
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.bluetooth.*;
public class BluetoothMidlet extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
private Command exit, next, back;
LocalDevice local;
Alert a;
Form startScreen;
public BluetoothMidlet() {
exit = new Command("Exit",Command.EXIT, 0);
next = new Command("Next", Command.SCREEN, 1);
back = new Command("Back", Command.BACK, 1);
a = new Alert("Local Device");
a.addCommand(back);
a.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
a.setCommandListener(this);
startScreen = new Form("Start");
startScreen.append("Press 'Next' to proceed or 'Exit' to make like a tree");
startScreen.addCommand(next);
startScreen.addCommand(exit);
startScreen.setCommandListener(this);
public void startApp() {
     show();
public void pauseApp() {}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {}
public void commandAction(Command c,Displayable d) {
     if(c == next) {
          start();
     if(c == back) {
          show();
if(c == exit) {
notifyDestroyed();
destroyApp(true);
void show() {
     Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(startScreen);
void start() {
try {
// Retrieve the local Bluetooth device object
local = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice();
// Retrieve the Bluetooth address of the local device
String address = local.getBluetoothAddress();
// Retrieve the name of the local Bluetooth device
String name = local.getFriendlyName();
System.out.println(address + name);
a.setString("Address is "+address+", Name is "+name);
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(a);
} catch(Exception e) {
a.setString(e.getMessage());
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(a);
Waiting for answers...

The problem is that they are not phones (like SE K750i or my K800i) but smartphones, that run Windows Mobile 5. In order to be able to use bluetooth from within Java (on WM5) you need to get [most likely: purchase...] a bluetooth stack implementation which is compatible to WM5 and your Java-Version on your smartphone.
You could also get trial licences (e.g. from here: http://www.avetana-gmbh.de/avetana-gmbh/produkte/jsr82.eng.xml ). Avetana (for example) you can use in combination with IBM's J9 or NSICOM's Cre-Me and WM2003 or WM5. I am currently writing my thesis about bluetooth & j2me and need to write a client/server-app using those technologies. I'd like to try to run the midlet on my PDA (WM5 + J9), too, but as I couldn't find working/good and free bluetooth stack implementations for this platform... I kinda gave up :-P
More focusing on development with my k800i right now. When my thesis is done I still have time to investigate the PDA-thing.
Wish you good luck & motivation for your work with your smartphones ;)

Send file via bluetooth to windows mobile?

I just got a T-Mobile Dash (made by HTC) running Windows Mobile 5. I can pair it with my iMac G5 (OS X 10.4.10).
With Bluetooth File Exchange 1.7.14, I can send a file from the handheld to the iMac, but not from the iMac to the handheld. I get an error message saying "Device does not have the necessary services". Also, I can't get Missing Sync to work by Bluetooth (although it works fine by USB).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Hello!I'm trying to set a DAQ system up to send files to a virtual server (both physical server and virtual servers running 2012 R2, Hyper-V as the hypervisor). Currently, the DAQ is able to send to a physical Server 2003 server via FileZilla server. However, that server is well beyond EoL and is being phased out. With Passive Mode disabled, I get the error "You appear to be behind a NAT router. Please configure the passive mode settings and forward a range of ports in your router." So, I've configured passive mode with the External Server IP Address as x.x.x.16 (the physical server) with the port range 20-21. Under these settings, the error goes away, but I am still unable to transfer data. The the firewall is currently off on the physical server for other reasons, but enabled on the virtual server. I believe that it needs to be...

Symbian bluetooth working, windows mobile 5.0 bluetooth not working?

Hi guys,
I am running an application on my Nokia 6680 mobile phone (symbian series 60), and I am able to recieve a bluetooth connection using a hard coded address of the bluetooth device. The bluetooth device I connect to is a GPS device, HOLOX BT-321. All working fine!
Problem occurs when I use the same application on an XDA Exec from O2 (also called i-mate Jasjar and M5000), the application does not connect to the bluetooth gps device, it pairs with it but when I run the application it doesnt communicate with the gps reciever, i.e the bluetooth light doesnt flash on the gps reciever to show a connection.
Why does it work on one and not the other? Both Nokia 6680 and XDA Exec uses bluetooth v1.2 as does the gps device. Both support J2ME and CLDC 1.1 with MIDP 2.0! So why doesnt it work? Any ideas??
The code i use is on the folowing website...
http://www.hcilab.org/documents/tutorials/BT_GPS/BT_GPS.htm
As I said you have to hard code the gps device your connecting to. It works on the Nokia 6680 fine!
Thanks...

The quality of Windows mobile java is very poor.
Very recently some features doesn't work on core level.

Hi Antonio,
This error is possibly a sideeffect of another exception,
Can you check the trace files of the MI client ?
There might be another set of exceptions logged.

Connecting Windows Mobile 5 to Airport Network

Hi,
Does anyone know how to do it? I have a windows mobile 5 PDA, which I am trying to connect to my home Airport Network(it is running on WPA2 Personal Security). I have spent many hours trying to configure it without any luck. I am totally stuck with configurations and security settings for the Win 5.0 device... if only windows was OS was made by Apple!
PB g4 15'' Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Hi craiglud,
Thanks for your suggestion. I have not even got to that stage yet I am afraid.
When I am trying to connect to my Airport network – I get a message (on my PDA) “please enter the network key” however, when I am trying to enter a password which I set up for my home network – it does not eat it – says incorrect. I set it up with a password not with a hexadecimal key, it says on my Apple Airport Config utility that the hexadecimal key has to be 64 characters long, however, the PDA says it cannot be that long.
Can you tell me which settings did you enter for your Win Mobile device? Especially in the “Configure Network Authentication” panel there are several lines: “Authentication”, “Data Encryption”, and then the “key is automatically provided”.
What really annoys me is that my PDA (iPAQ) came without any information on how to configure the wireless network!
Thanks in advance – and I am glad it is working with you!
If I ever manage to set it up I am going to post a HOWTO so that others can work through it.

PDA Bluetooth Windows Mobile 5

I have just finished developing a PDA application using LV PDA 8.20 for my HP iPAQ running Windows Mobile 2003. The application uses Bluetooth to communicate with a device and all runs well.
I have just ordered a new HP iPAQ running Windows Mobile 2005 and loaded my software onto it along with the 3 Bluetooth dlls required:
BtCoreIf.dll
BtSdkCE30.dll
LVBtw.dll
When I run the software and try to discover devices, I get the following error: Bt Discovery Error code: 2. I have Bluetooth turned on.
Has anybody else experienced anything similar?
Thanks
ssk

Well, I thought I had cracked this..............!
My software now starts ok and discovers Bluetooth devices. Soon after discovering a device and the operator selecting the desired one, the software hangs.
This works fine on Mobile 2003 but not on Mobile 5.
I have recompiled the software and chosen the target device to be Mobile 5.
I have read bits and pieces about extra software being installed for Mobile 5. I have installed EVC 4.
PDA version is 8.20
I cannot see anyway of changing the processor type in the build definition, it defaults to ARM. My iPAQ hx2100 has a PXA270 (is this ARM compatible as far as LV is concerned?).
Any help gratefully received!

10.4.9 Allows Bluetooth PAN and Windows Mobile Cell as a modem - MBP

FYI,
I have been wishing/dreaming after all my fellow T-Mobile Dash owners that have been able to use their Dash as a Bluetooth modem with their PC laptops. There have also been those that can do the same by installing Windows on their Mac via Parallels. With 10.4.9 Apple has added PAN to Bluetooth. This allows one to use their cell phone that has Internet access as a modem. In the case of my Mac Pro, if/when my Internet connection is down, I can still surf at around 200Kb. When I am out in the outskirts with my MBP and there isn't a HotSpot nearby, I can do the same, like at the beach :>) Below is the link I found that explains the process:
http://www.furrygoat.com/2007/03/bluetoothmac_os_x_and_thedas.html
It may be a non-event for most of you, but I have been waiting for this for some time. I also have The Missing Sync installed to use the Dash on my MBP instead of Windoze....

HTC PDA deployment problem using Mobile Module

Hi all,
I am trying to connect my HTC PDA Kaiser (TyTN II) to a customized device using the miniUSB port. This PDA runs Windows Mobile 6, I am using Labview 8.6 (and I am using the Mobile Module - former PDA module) on Windows Vista.
However, I am having a couple of issues trying to do this. Initially I am trying to discover, if the application deployed on the PDA using Mobile Module sees the miniUSB port as a virtual COM port (or serial). This would make my job much easier.
Nevertheless, way before that, I simply cannot deploy my application on the PDA because there are two files missing during the building process(attached file): windows.h and commctrl.lib, according to the message error.
I was trying to follow the simple tutorial on http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371296d.pdf but the deployment process stops when I get this message. I installed all the necessary files (Virtual PC 2007, Windows Mobile Device Center and I think LV does the rest) and of course the mobile module. I read about the installation known issues, uninstalling Visual Studio 2008, reinstalling Labview like some of the threads suggested (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&requireLogin=False&thread.id=132656) and still didn't work. I wouldn't go that far to reinstall Windows, would I?
I know that it might be something related to a wrong path according to the attached log error file during the C generation code, however I am still not sure what's the path supposed to be!
Does anyone could give any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Edgar Charry

Hi Anna,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is Windows Vista 32-bit Home.
Certainly the reason is that the builder looks after these two files, that simply doesn't exist. I know it, because I looked for them, and found on the PocketPC2003 - smartphone folder (..\Labview 8.6\PDA\Utilities\VC\Smartdevices\SDK\PocketPC2003\include and lib). And the only one I can at least emulate is indeed the PocketPC2003 SmartPhone!
So, if your emulator for the Windows Mobile 6 platform works (emulates any VI), could you please give me the correct path of the Windows Mobile 6 and also the files? Here I have: ..\Labview 8.6\PDA\Utilities\VC\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC\Deviceemulation\Pocket_PC (and a couple of others, which are pretty much empty - no header files or libraries there, just the PNG files of the figures of the emulators). That's it.
I tried copying the lib and the include folders there, but also didn't work....
Thanks Anna,

Windows Mobile 6 & BT stack - How to set PC - PDA - Internet connection

Hello,
My configuration : another manufacture laptop with True Mobile 350 (Toshiba stack)
and a PDA Windows Mobile 6 PocketPc (Phone Edition)(TyTn)
I would like to use my PDA as a PAN server to use its internet connection with my laptop (PC -> PDA -> Internet. I've paired the two devices, but when I activated the Internet sharing on my PDA i've no feature on my laptop to access the PAN created by the PDA.
"The auto discovery is the only way to set up services. However, the PAN service doesn't display unless the devices are paired.
Toshiba can only Pair with devices seen during discovery.... "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297561&highlight=bluetooth+intern et+sharing
I'm not the only one to have a problem and I have already installed the v5 of the stack.

Hi
Did you already check this Toshiba Bluetooth "FAQ" and "How to" area??
http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/
There you can find useful HOW TO documents for example about:
- InternetAccess on PDA via PAN using Notebook as Gateway
- Browse Notebook-share via PDA and PAN
- etc
Maybe you will find some useful advices.
PS: Sorry Im not a BT expert and therefore I cannot say much about this case

I want to use my windows mobile phone as a modem connected to the usb port of mac AERO...But does not work, no reaction

can anibody help?

First of all, are you using a Windows Phone (windows phone 7 or 7.5) or a Windows Mobile (6.1, 6.5) phone?
Windows Mobile phones are generally not compatible with macs for USB internet tethering. They do work OK by sharing via Bluetooth or Wifi.

Sync Windows Mobile 5.0 PDA (Dell Axim) with iBook

After a decade of dependence on Windows I have made the decision to return to Apple products. I am concerned that the transition may be more difficult than expected.
At the moment I am wondering if anyone has been able to sync their Windows Mobile 5.0 based PDA with their Apple computer? If so, what program works?
Thanks

In order to use and sync a PocketPC PDA with a Mac you will need third party software such as The Missing Sync or PocketMac.

Hi,
I installed the latest Vista Bluetooth Driver on my Notebook (P100 426) and I even get a connection with my cell phone; unfortunately I'm not able to use this connection with windows mobile device center. If I click on the Bluetooth icon in the control panel I don't see the bluetooth device of my notebook.
Any suggetions?
