I have been trying all weekend to Sync my 8525 and my HP laptop via Bluetooth and it will not work! They are both paired and I can do just about everything with them both but sync with ActiveSync. I can use the phone as a modem, transfer files, use the laptop as an external stereo speaker and as a speaker phone but it will not sync with freakin' Activesync! Both the Laptop and the 8525 serial ports are set at Com8. When attempting to sync via bluetooth on the phones active sync all I get is:

"Cannot connect using Bluetooth to a PC that supports ActiveSync. You may be out of range. Would you like to create a Bluetooth partnership with a different PC?"

Oh my LORD!! This is becoming soooo anoying! I have tried searching here and through Google, I have tried just about everything to get this crap to work and so far NOTHING!!!!

I am at wits end! Please if you can help it would save my sanity!

-Cingular 8525

-Windows Mobile 6 Professional (OEM Rom downloaded from HTC website)

-Rom version 3.62.502.3

-Radio version 1.54.07.00

Thank You!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Koterpillar:
Looks wrong to me, as PDA's COM8 is not laptop's COM8. I suggest you delete all the serial ports, and delete the partnership itself on both PDA and laptop. Then let ActiveSync establish it back as it wants.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] acuraman2004:
I have tried that before, and it still gave me the same message when trying

to sync. The laptop usually sets the com port to 8 and the phone sets the com port to 0, however this does not seem to sync. I will try it again tonight to see if maybe I missed something. Thank you for your suggestion.

If anyone else has any ideas I would love to try them.

Thank You!

For what it's worth, I'm able to sync my 8525 via Bluetooth ActiveSync with my Windows XP Professional notebook. It took a little finegaling, but I was able to make it happen. Unfortunately, the notebook is at home, and the phone is not allowed into my office. If you don't get it resolved by this evening, I'll try to post my settings after I get home.

So......Huston we still have a problem. Deleting the two devices and repairing did not seem to correct the issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ads2112:
Hmmm. I have experienced this before, and have fixed it....somehow. Sorry. I have a Dell laptop (yeah ok, wotever!). Established activesync partnership via usb to start. Told phone to find new BT gear, paired with laptop, ticked every box that the laptop presented, including 'allow device to access activesync service'. In BT settings, laptop has activesync box ticked in list of services available. To connect, I go into comm manager, turn on activesync, menu, connect via bluetooth. All sweet. Running WM6.1, had it working on most of the WM6 roms too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] XtreMe_G:
what bluetooth stack are you using on you laptop?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ads2112:
Umm.. would that be 'WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software 5.0.1.2609'? Dunno - whatever is installed on the Dell Inspiron 6400. Would be happy to provide any further info, if you can tell me exactly what it is you want and where I find it....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ads2112:
Does this help any?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] XtreMe_G:
oh, sorry ads2112, should have been clearer, i was asking acuraman2004 wat his bluetooth stack was, not you.......you dont have any problems with ur bluetooth and activesync right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] acuraman2004:
You know what I am not sure as to where that information would be located on the laptop. I will search for the information once I get home from work and post it. Thank you for the reply.

Didn't have quite the same problem that you are having, but was having trouble. I found these instructions and took care of mine right away. The author, and the link to the site are listed in the instructions. I copied them to notepad so as not to lose them. Hopefully this will work for you.

BlueTooth Sync

I got my bluetooth to work by following Hazymat's guide: Here (http://www.modaco.com/Active_Sync_over_BlueSoleil_Blutooth-t232696.html) Excerpt:

Thanx to a Hazymat over on xda-dev I managed to get it all working, his guide, for anyone else finding this:-

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.

The only port you worry about is the incoming pc one. Active Synch does the rest. You must see acitivesync as a service when you connect. I did not see it until I updated my Toshiba Bluetooth stack from thier website. Creating other ports can stop the synch from working.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] acuraman2004:
:D Dude thank you! I will try that as soon as I get home!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] douginoz:
I have it working on my desktop PC in front of me. Here's my setup:

PC:

IVT BlueSoleil v5 I think (the one that costs money but has a new slick interface)

Device Name: PokerPro

Device Type: Desktop

Accessibility: Allow other Bluetooth devices to find this device, Allow other Bluetooth devices to connect to this device

Services: Bluetooth Serial Port (COM4), Bluetooth Serial Port (COM5), Bluetooth Advanced Audio, Bluetooth Object Push, Bluetooth File Transfer, Bluetooth Personal Area Network. All have Security On (i.e. a secure connection).

Serial Ports: COM4: Direction Incoming. COM5: Direction Incoming.

Microsoft ActiveSync:

Connection Settings:

Allow USB connections

Allow connections to one of the following: COM4

This computer is connected to: Automatic

Open ActiveSync when device connects

I >don't< have "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" set.

On my Phone:

Running WM6 (Windows CE 5.2.1933) (note not WM6.1) and Schap's 4.01 full rom

Bluetooth device name: "Dir Someone" (my name). I don't have OBEX enabled.

Within the Bluetooth settings:

PokerPro shows up as a device. If I select it, it shows Wireless Stereo (not ticked) and ActiveSync (ticked). This is the important bit - ActiveSync needs to show up as a service under your PC paired connection.

Mode: Turn On Bluetooth is ticked, but "Make device visible to other devices" is not ticked.

COM Ports: I don't have anything there aside from "New Outgoing Port".

FTP: Enable Bluetooth Explorer is ticked

Security: Authentication (Passkey) required is not ticked.

ActiveSync: I have "Synchronise all PCs using this connection" ticked, with the default " 'USB " selected.

When I select "Connect via Bluetooth", I get a message on my desktop saying the phone has connected, and ActiveSync turns green and starts spinning.

If I recall correctly, it took me a couple of goes before the ActiveSync service appeared under the PC paired connection (the bit in italics above). I don't recall how I got that working but it was just a matter of deleting the connection and letting them discover each other again I think.

I did a bunch of research and found a few articles that I read at the time, but because I'm using BlueSoleil it was slightly different for my setup. But you can get the general idea of what you need to do here.

[General Questions and Answers] Msamp:
does anyone sell a tablet that's "rooted" out of the box, so i don't have to go through all that mess?

if not, and this question may make no sense, but which are the most easily rooted?

i want to keep stock firmware, etc, but it's my bloody tablet and i'll not have it crippled.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try looking here

http://www.droidallday.com/

Another option would be to buy a tablet that has MTK(MediaTek) chipset. There are PC tools that unlock bootloader and root the device plus they are one of the easiest devices to build a custom recovery for, there are even tools that just about automate the recovery building process.

Porting ROMs from other MTK devices with the exact same chipset shouldn't be too difficult either. Just make sure you choose a tablet that has the stock firmware available to download from somewhere, a copy of stock firmware and the tools to flash it are very important to have when using/modifying a rooted device just in case something goes wrong when modifying the device.

btw, what do you think of the GPU performance of adreno 540 and mali-g72. i remember adreno has more GPU flops (around 570 and mali has only around 380 if im not wrong) and higher stability performance.

can you test some game frame rates on max settings? like GTA SA and Asphalt 8. would be helpful to me.

Phone doesn't work with Sprint. I tried. Something about OnePlus not doing business with Sprint CDMA. I thought I would at least 3g or 2g... But the phone doesn't work with placing a call. Network restrictions...

Ok thank you just needed to clarify
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] JonathanShidler:
I had a similar problem with Sprint back when the Nexus5 came out-- although supported and set up for the Nexus5 and was to have a branded version, they were just in the infant stages (and still are to a degree) of having "Bring your Own" set up.

I had the same problem yet again with the Nexus6 (still my daily driver, pray for my soul)

It took me 4 weeks of wrangling (of which they sent me 3 bad SIMs for the device, and again 2 weeks with the Nexus6 and 2 bad SIMs yet again) until I found "the one guy who has the binder" out in Kansas City over the phone with sprint who figured out how to input in the MEID and the IMEI data to whitelist the phone--

I am suspect that (at least according to "WillMyPhoneWork .net" ) the phone should work-- I have seen video on youtube of a 5T working on Verizon (albeit, only 3g, but that was with just popping in the sim).

I mention this, as During my adventure trying to get my BYO Unlocked Nexus6, I had discovered that even if I just popped in a sim at the store (being sneaky to prove a point) of a display model nexus6 or other device, it would not work even then.

We need one brave person willing to spend 1-21 days on the phone with Sprint, and get theirs individually whitelisted.

I am not such a person, yet.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] heyChristo:
Nexus five should work. You will just have to find which sim card you need. I found a good guide in the sprint forums (believe it or not out of all places) actually for getting a pixel to work on sprint. U should be able to find something similar. I actually had to order a special sim card through sprint to get my htc 10 working. They gave/shipped it to me for free but they knew which one I needed.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ribonucleic:
Yes the discount is nice, the adds are incredibly irritating, Here is my method.

Install a Firewall, I use NoRoot Firewall

Enable Debugging Mode

Install Pandora

Install a memory clearing app

1. Power cycle your phone

2. Put a firewall against the Amazon offers apps

3. Load Pandora, this should switch full screen lock adds into a banner, try switching songs a few times if it doesnt work right away, Swipe the add away

4. Load Running Services from the Debugging Menu

5. Scroll To Amazon Offers, and Force Stop any services running

6. Go to Apps in the settings Menu, Load System Apps.

7. Turn Background Data off for all Amazon Offers apps, widgets etc.. Also Hit Force Stop

8. Clear the memory

That should be it, It may pop up with an add already in memory once in a while but since its firewalled it wont have much of a chance to push new adds and your phone should stay add free until you power cycle and go through the process each time.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bug_bloke:
I have been struggling for the last 3 weeks to unlock my new Mi5s plus so I can flash the correct ROM and get a couple of problems (camera and sound not working) fixed.

I got the phone from Gearbest and they are refusing to refund the full cost of the phone, so I would rather get it fixed and keep it.

I've tried all possible ways of upgrading: Updater app, recovery mode, fastboot, miflash, special cable and whatever other forum ideas I could find. Everything so far has failed and I think it comes down to the locked bootloader.

I have gained permission and using the unlocking software I get to 99% before I get told "current account is not bound to this device", so I head off to the MI Unlock status to bind phone to account and get the "86023: hardwareid abnormal" message. I think this might have something to do with the wrong ROM being on the phone.

So my questions are: how can I bind my phone to my account, or at least make it look like it is bound? Or is there another way to flash the correct ROM without unlocking? :confused:

Please help!!:(
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] pr0x2:
Go to paypal and ask for refund.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bug_bloke:
Good suggestion.

I paid with credit card, so I have asked the credit card to get me a refund under section 75 of the consumer credit act, I'm waiting for the outcome. However, I suspect I will not get a full refund, including delivery costs and the cost of the return delivery, so I would still rather fix the phone than return it.

If it's not fixed by the time I get a reply from the credit card, I will have to give in and return it, accepting the financial loss.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] franztesca:
I might be able to help you. First remember that you can always flash your device in emergency download mode by connecting the test points on the motherboard and using miflash and fastboot rom (just google "mi5s plus test points"). But if you don't want to open your device I could find a way to flash a natrium (mi5s plus) rom on your device. If you want to try this "software way" to do that, just follow this passages:

- Download and install my tool on your windows pc: www.xiaomitool.com/latest

- Connect your device and put it in recovery mode (hold vol+ and power button, if a menu appears press the third option ("connect to mi assistant"))

- You don't need to run the tool, just run cmd (command prompt) on your pc and send the following commands:

C:\xiaomi\XiaoMiTool\tools\adbsl.exe getsn

C:\xiaomi\XiaoMiTool\tools\adbsl.exe getversion

C:\xiaomi\XiaoMiTool\tools\adbsl.exe getcodebase

C:\xiaomi\XiaoMiTool\tools\adbsl.exe getdevice

Post the output of the commands here and I will see if there is a way to flash the device and eventually with further instructions.

Has anyone managed to get a pixel 2 xl to fast charge using a normal usb a-c cable.

I have tried plugging it into a 2.4a usb wall charger and a QC2.0 charger and I can't get the device to pull any more than 1.5a

My pixel 1 used to charge fine @ 2.something A and it would say charging rapidly on the screen when charging.

Anyone got any experiences?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] annoyingduck:
Unlikely that you'll get fastcharge from a-c as the fast charge only comes from Power Delivery (this is not the same as Qualcom's Quick Charge which usually has a usb -a connection on the charger). The only chargers I've seen that implement it are usb c to usb c (no -a connections on the charger). If there are any Power Delivery chargers that have a usb -a connection at the charger, they are rare as all the ones I've seen are -c only.
