Tips & Tricks|Sync Your Windows Mobile Device with SONY VAIO VGN-UX280P using Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

Finally got Windows Mobile Device Center (aka Activesync for Vista) on the UX280P to sync with my 750v over Bluetooth. Apparently it needed a bit of registry editing to make WMDC recognize the serial port that the Toshiba Bluetooth stack installed on my VAIO VGN-UX280P.

Tested on/with:
SONY VAIO VGN-UX280P
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and Software [ver. 5.00.10 from SONY]
Windows Mobile Device Center
palm Treo 750v
Wndows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition [AKU 2.6]

1. On your VAIO [Part 1]
1.1 Open WMDC under Mobile device settings Connection Settings make sure Bluetooth is enabled
1.2 Click Start [Windows logo] On the search bar type regedit
1.3 Navigate to the ff: key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
1.4 look for SerialPort and modify it to COM7
1.5 Exit the Registry Editor and Reboot your PC
1.6 Open BT and make sure the VAIO is visible and can accept connections

2. On your Treo [Part 2]
2.1 Enable BT on the Treo [you may want to delete existing/old partnerships just to be on the safe side and redo them later]
2.2 Open Activesync > Options > Connect via Bluetooth
2.3 You'll be prompted to make a new partnership search for your VAIO and pair
2.4 If you did part 1 correctly you'll see Activesync and Wireless Stereo as options, make sure you tick on Activesync
2.5 Connect via BT and your done!

3. Trouble Shooting [Part 3]
3.1 If you've reached 2.3 and see only Serial Port and Wireless Stereo you were not able to select the correct COM Port for the Serial Port Profile.
3.2 Go back and do Part 1 [1.2 to 1.5] again using Trial and Error method [this might be tedious as the Toshiba BT Stack installs a lot of COM Ports]
3.3 Use the FORCE and you'll be fine :o)
