I have spent the past hour trying in vain to get Bluetooth ActiveSync (4.2) working between the XV6700 and Flash (Samsung Q1 SSD). This was another hour I did not have to spare that I was forced to waste trying to get the connection working. What makes me so angry about this is that it was working fine last night. I have used both Bluetooth and USB connections with ActiveSync between these two devices frequently with no problems but this morning, kaput. I go to connect via Bluetooth and nothing, nada, bupkis. It just decided it wouldn’t connect anymore overnight while both units were off and sitting happily charging in their respective places. Let’s recap– Bluetooth ActiveSync worked find for days since getting the Q1. I have used it repeatedly every day for that time. Today it won’t work. Nothing I have tried yet has worked to restore the connection. Both devices can see each other over Bluetooth. The XV6700 will not indicate to Flash that the ActiveSync service is available. Until the XV6700 tells Flash that ActiveSync is one of the allowed Bluetooth services the connection cannot be made. I have reset both devices to no avail. Unfortunately I do not have any additional time to spend on the problem so today I will go off into the big bad corporate world unable to quickly connect via Bluetooth. Not a big deal you say? It is to me because that means I can’t use the XV6700 as a modem via PDANet unless I stop what I am doing and connect the USB cable, wait for ActiveSync to connect up, and then get a web connection. I hate ActiveSync.
