Accessing Active Sync PC from Treo - Treo Forums

drjdan · 02-09-2006, 09:23 PM

I can active sync with USB and BT without any problem. When the Treo is connected, I can go to My Computer on the PC and have access to the Treo and add, delete, etc files on the Treo.

How can I see the connected PC from the Treo?

I figured out how to see the connected PC with USB. But with BT it will not show the computer. Is that a limitation of BT?

hmm I believe we may be experiencing similar problems. I can successfully use AS (ActiveSync) over USB, but not over bluetooth. I wont say its never worked, but I will say its worked no more than 5 times, and I don't know what I did to get it to work.

Now on my phone, under bluetooth (Partnership Settings) it states that its able to use the "Serial Port" service, but doesn't list ActiveSync. I think its suppose to list AS? Is it? For those that have it working, does it list AS?

When I try and connect to my desktop, I open up AS on my phone, select menu, and then "Connect via BT". I then receive a message stating, "Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?" If I select yes, it'll take me back to the Partnership Settings, and I'll hit refresh, but it'll only find Serial Port.

Now, if I try to have my Desktop AS try and find my phone, my phone will beep once it starts searching, but it'll never connect.

What are the correct COMM settings? What should I double check? Thanks.

This problem with AS just showed up for me. I can sync via BT fine. However, I want to download some media files and need to use the sync cable. This is the first time I have used the cable since installing BT and now when I use the cable it beeps and I get the spinning green wheel until it times out.

Please help. I need to trvel wihtin the next week and need these files for my sanity!

I had same problem when I wanted to connect by USB to transfer media. I turned off firewall and it worked fine. I then set the firewall (zone alarm) to med and worked also.

Yep, tried that already.
I read somewhere out there to delete the partnership and try anew, no luck there either.
