To synchronize the Palm with the PC through bluetooth
Since the last models of Palm bring the connectivity bluetooth integrated, we have seen day day like taking advantage of it to control from her Winamp or WMP or a PC acting like music reproducer, to listen to the music of the Palm in wireless helmets, to interact with the moving body, to transfer archives, or to play in network the Duke Nukem 3D, the Quake or the Doom. And with the possibility of using bluetooth to connect the Palm to Internet through our PC, the possibilities they multiplied: to control a PC remotely, to speak by Skype, to wake up the PC when it is hibernating, and more than we will with time go seeing.
MrAnderson explains to us how to synchronize the Palm by means of bluetooth
But one of the most useful and obvious uses of bluetooth of the Palm, and that in addition comes already preformed from factory, is the power to do hotsync wirelessly, without having to use the cable of data. Del is a subject that it had thought to speak, since he is very comfortable to leave the PDA in the table and to synchronize it, without worrying to always have cables thrown by the ground. But it has in the end not been necessary, since MrAnderson has realised an impressive tutorial, with screen captures of all the steps and detailed explanations, so that we learn how one forms the PC and the Palm to be able to do this hotsync wireless. I congratulate to him from here by a so good work, and I invite to you to you read that it. The steps could be summarized in the following thing:
- First of everything we must deactivate drivers bluetooth that Windows brings by defect, because as we already saw in other tutorials, very they are limited, reason why he is better to use those than they come with the adapter bluetooth USB that we have bought.
- Immediately afterwards, we installed this drivers and we come to match the PDA with the PC, so that it enters both “are seen”. We also form what services we want that they are possible to be used, and which no. in this case is necessary the one of port virtual series, that causes that the connection by bluetooth appears in the PC like a port series of those of all the life.
- Next, we formed the Hotsync Manager, which is very simple, since it is only necessary to say to him that it uses the port series that we finished creating for synchronization. It is the same process that stops to synchronize with an old Palm of that they used a cable series, before the appearance of the USB.
- And finally, MrAnderson explains detail yet to us, like forming the Palm so that it uses bluetooth like means of hotsync. Once fact this, everything will be preparation so that we never need plus the cable of data to make a synchronization.
The configuration of the Palm will not give any problem, since those that come already with bluetooth they contemplate this possibility from the beginning, reason why bring assistants to be able to form it easily. Luck with the process, and thanks again to MrAnderson for so worked tutorial.

Marks… I feel honest to appear mentioned in post yours… I am a palmero of heart and I feel that with this I have contributed a sand granite compared with the complete beach that you have contributed your. Greetings
Perhaps marks, your you can understand to me. It is that I have my formed Tx to connect to me to Internet by means of bluetooth PC, but now that I add the synchronization configuration I have promblema with port COM7, says occupied, change to port COM8 for the synchronization but equal at the time of concectar palm to the PC it continues using port COM7 and obvious it does not synchronize, that I must do? , podria to give some suggestion me. Obvious I believe that I must form the synchronization with 8 COM ne lagoon starts off, but not where…
That agradecera you your support.

Good for seeing if I can help a little you. Ports COM are created with the software of the adapter bluetooth, in the PC. In the Bluesolei for example, there is option to create a port COM7 and COM8.
On the other hand the port to use for hotsync is formed in the program of hotsync, that icon that appears in the notification bar, near the clock of Windows.
Sometimes it is necessary to reinitiate bluetooth in the PC, or the own PC, so that one finds out the changes (so good Windows as always), so it tries to do it.
I do not know if I have contributed something to you that you did not know already. Ah yes, you do not confuse the “modem sync” with the “premises sync” in the program of hotsync, that although both uses ports COM, are very different things.
Thanks marks for all advice and your quick answer but I even have the same problem. It is that at the time of connecting itself it does through COM7 and not of COM 8, this it forms in “cable of communication between two teams” of the Control Panel and modem and telephone. I have soon it well formed in hotsync what local and the configuration of com in the premises, soon the “resumption” but follows the problem, is continued connecting by the COM7 does not pass anything. That but podria to do? or in which I am failing. Thanks

the one of cable of communication between two equipment I have never touched it. You are using bluetooth or a cable? If you use bluetooth, the ports com7 and com8 are virtual, nonports series of your computer, and must be formed from the software of bluetoot (ex. Bluesolei).
First that everything I want to congratulate to MrAnderson by all the things teaches that us to addict of palm the excellent wisdom the one that has east teacher in these subjects.
I have a problem with my Tungsten T.I have not been able that it synchronizes to me by bluetooth, already segui all the steps it says but me in the PC that are ports no available and in palm it says to another application this using the port series.
When I abro to administrator of devices ports com only shows to two ports com1 to me and Lpt1.
That I must do?
MrAnderson that I do if to realise the synchronization it requests a key to me. I have one palm tungten T5
