Bluetooth Authorization - Motorola Q

vwjobo · #1 05-05-2007, 06:21 PM

I am trying to pair my Q with my laptop whey it detects it it wants to set it up as a modem and dial a number to connect to the internet. I can not seem to get it to just see it as a device it wants to set it up a dial up modem. Is there any other way. i am using a Toshiba laptop and Win XP

wait, so you want to use it as a modem or use bt to connect to active sync?
for a modem, you have to buy PDA net
for active sync, im not sure how to do it... just go looking around in start>BT and mess w/settings

wait a sec, you do want to sync your computer up with your phone. You need to get active sync 4.5, just google it

In order to use ActiveSync via Bluetooth you must initiate the sync from the phone, not the PC. On the Q, click Start -> ActiveSync -> Menu -> Connect via Bluetooth. And yes you should have ActiveSync 4.5 on your PC if you don't already.

I have 4.5 When I tyr to sync it will not connect. It just says connecting ans never connects.?. It gets throught the connecting window with the blue "barber pole on Top" then gets to the active sync window and stops there. My laptop does see it.

I tried to help a guy at work with his Pocket PC (2003 I think) sync with Bluetooth. It was a major pain in the neck. It would work one time then he would have to reset his Pocket PC to get it to work again. We finally gave up. It doesn't sound like it's gotten any better.

I do it all the time with my Q and my PC with a Kensington USB Bluetooth adapter. Have not had a single problem with this setup at all. This makes me suspect that it may be an issue with the particular Bluetooth adapter your PC is using.

You need to do the following for it to work. If not your device will not be recongnized.......

BlueTooth Activesync

1) On your computer, go into bluetooth settings. Check bluetooth is ON and set to discoverable. Add an incoming COM port, eg. COM5.

2) On ActiveSync on your computer, go into connection settings. Tick all the boxes. If the COM port is greyed out, untick it, close the settings box, go back in, now tick it and set the COM port to eg. COM5.

3) On the K Jam go into bluetooth settings, and remove the connection to your computer.

4) On your K Jam go into ActiveSync, click 'menu' > 'connect via bluetooth' then you should see a message saying 'cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?'

5) Click YES - you are taken to the Bluetooth settings screen.

6) Now click 'new partnership. As soon as you do this, the K Jam will search, and as long as your computer has bluetooth discoverable turned on, your computer will eventually be displayed. Check the computer name showing on the K Jam is the same as the name you gave the bluetooth profile on your computer.

7) On K Jam, click your computer name then NEXT.
Now enter a passcode - any four digit number (remember it) then next

8) When you do this, your computer will pop up with a message saying "a bluetooth device is requesting authorisation". Open this message and type in the code that you gave the K Jam. The next screen on the computer will tell you that it was successful - click FINISH.

9) Back on the K Jam, the screen will now be showing the services available. AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOWED STEP 1 and 2, ActiveSync will be an option, and you need to tick this and press FINISH on the K Jam.

10) Close bluetooth settings, now in ActiveSync screen click MENU > Connect via bluetooth. Your ActiveSync program on the computer should eventually pop up and connect.

See if that does the trick.
