Blue tooth issues

sachin · 07-14-2009, 11:40 AM

1. I cannot hot-synch my centro with my laptop on blue tooth. It works perfectly well with the data transfer cable. Both the laptop and the centro are detecting each other etc. I am using XP (SP2)

2. I cannot transfer data files from my laptop to my centro through blue tooth, it is possible to do so?
anyone help?

I don't know about transferring data files, but I hotsync with Bluetooth, and it works perfectly. You need to set your HotSync Manager connection option to serial, and you need to configure the Bluetooth driver on your PC to emulate a serial device at COM3.

It all apparently appears to be pretty simple but even though my laptop recognizes my centro it just wont synch, and the help files have incorrect info and steps. It says select "local" serial, there is no such option, neither are there any port options on the laptop or on the centro etc etc...

Hi,

I have tried for 6 hours to try to figure out the answer to " unable to initiate HOTSYNCH operation because the port is in use by another application" when I try to sych my phone through bluetooth. It has something to do with com or serial ports or virtual serials ports???

I chatted with palm today 5 timea and they have no clue. Does anyone have a step by step guide I can use?
Thanks
