No com ports showing in my Apache !!

[dray]

I am able to pair my ppc6700 with other devices butI cannot transfer any data. When I try to set up a new incoming/outgoing port, no ports are populating. I have a 6.1 flashed Apache and this is driving me nuts !!! trying to transfer over myphonebook from another cell phone. Someone please HELP ME !!!

if you just need to copy your contacts, sync it with a computer, and then sync the other phone but on the second phone tell it contacts only.

hope this helps

or use PIMBackup to take them from one device and replace on the new.

I am trying to retreive them off a Katana II but I am more concerned with the fact that no com ports are showing available on the Apache.

Well WM6.1 has been known to do some really weird things so I guess you are apart of the statistic now. Not saying it cannot do it, but how do you know the Katana will even transfer contacts via BT to the 6700? I assume you are pairing the 6700 and the Katana together and getting a 'pair' but cannot find a COM port on the Katana, right?

Katana will not work that way...I am trying to pair the 6700 with a pc.

[weedahoe]

Well where are the contacts from the Katana? Why not get them off the Katana to the PC and then just Actvesync the 6700 via USB to the PC?

I was able to get my contacts transfered, however, the I am not able to transfer data for some reason. COM ports are not available. Any suggestions ?? I can pair my device but not transfer data across bluetooth.

Do you know what Bluetooth stack is running on the PC? If it is Toshiba, I'd recommend replacing with Microsoft. You really don't have to set up any COM ports on the 6700. Just set up the incoming COM on the PC. Then when you pair, you should get services options serial (just a data connection) and Activesync (syncing) on the 6700.

Yeah how do you transfer files using BT?
