I'm trying to sync my Palm TX with Bluetooth, and I can't seem to get it
right. I have WinXP, SP2, and I can connect my TX to another TX for file
transfer, but I can't seem to set up the sync.
Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial, how to guide etc?
Thanks!
Mark

Where in the process do you have a problem? I have a T3 and do this without
a problem, setup on TX may differ.
1. Pair you TX with your PC and make sure PIM sync is enabled in your PC
bluetooth setup
2. Create a new connection on your TX (under
Prefs/Communication/Connection), use connection to "PC" via "Bluetooth"
through Device "your PC" (which is the name you gave your PC in the pairing
process)
3. In the Hotsync app on your PC, make sure that "local" is enabled, the
serial port assigned Bluetooth (which you can find displayed under the Local
services tab of the BT config on your PC) should be listed as serial port
under the Local tab (setup/local in your hotsync app on PC).
Hope this helps!

Please log in for more thread options Now it's working.
When I looked under the device manager at the serial COM ports, there were
at least 10 different bluetooth ports, and I assume that when I would try to
make a new connection, a new one was created. The Palm instructions
referred to a "virtual serial port," and I assume that's what all of these
were.
I went to the hotsync manager, setup, local tab, and started trying one port
after another, until one worked (serial #COM7). Then, I deleted the ones
greater than 7, of which there seemed to be many.
Now, it works, but it's noticeably slower than the USB sync. This wasn't a
terribly intuitive process, not as idiot-proof as I had been lead to expect.
But, again, it works. Thanks, Thorbjorn.
