Windows Mobile Smartphones (and some PPC's) use the Microsft Windows CE
stack and are able to use ActiveSync with no problems. A common issue some
users hit is that XP with the MS stack will not expose the serial port
profile (SPP) over BT until an application is actually listening on the COM
port. So make sure you configure ActiveSync to use the COM port before
doing the BT discovery from CE. That is one difference between the Widcomm
and MS implementations. Otherwise, I have no ideas why this would not work.
Getting debug output from btd.dll would help.

| Hi all,
|
| We're having some issues with Bluetooth at the moment, maybe any of
| you can shed some light on them. Basically our setup is as follows:
|
| 1 PXA255 target with embedded bluetooth on board, running windows
| CE4.2 (actually PPC2003SE) and 1 windows PC with a bluetooth dongle.
|
| We can communicate with the PC when we've installed the Widcomm
| bluetooth stack. Activesync works fine then, but the target won't
| communicate with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack (service pack 2) when
| we have a dongle which prefers to use that.
|
| I find this very strange since the stack on our wince device is from
| Microsoft and it doesn't seem to cooperate with the Microsoft stack on
| a PC! Did anyone ever experience this as well? Any cures or
| experiments that we may try to fix this?
|
| Any help is appreciated, thanks.

|
| On a side note: all PDA's i've seen so far seem to be using the
| widcomm BT stack on the wince device and those are working fine with
| any PC.
