Bluetooth Desktop Connectivity and Wireless Bypass is Grayed Out
- Hello,
I have successfully set up bluetooth wireless dial up networking with my blackberry and laptop. To works great and I had no problems once set up with blutooth pairing, etc.
Now I am trying to set up my blackberry to synchronize through desktop manager via bluetooth, and I keep hitting a wall. I try to set up bluetooth in Desktop manager and it can't find the device, but my computer sees it no problem. I have a feeling that this may be due to the fact that the boxes are grayed out (uncheckable) on my blackberry bluetooth options for Desktop Connectiity and Wireless Bypass (under the Serial Port Profile - which is checked). Every service is checked in the options page on my blackberry except for Desktop connectivity and wireless bypass which are grayed out.
I am running Desktop Manager 5.0 - Just upgraded because I tried with 4.7 and that didn't work either. My Blackberry is running 4.0.0.174, upgraded as well because previous versions were not working with blue tooth either,
Any thoughts, suggestions or help?
Thank you very much!

- I have the same problem, did you find a solution? is this because our IT dept does not allow? I can use the cable but not bt08-24-09 01:53 PMLike 0
- I have spent a couple of hours on the phone with the Sr. Techs at RIM, I was told this was due to the propery blank policy not being sent back to the device after disconnecting from the BES. I was working on my Dad's 8900
However my device WAS working properly and able to connect to DM and it worked great. BUT, today all of the sudden those choices are now grayed out, I can connect to my PC but not to DM and I haven't had any connection to a BES.
Something very strange is going on with it, but its a fantastic feature that I really loved when it worked.01-08-10 12:24 PMLike 0 - I just recently purchased a used 8220 off of eBay. Money's very tight and my 8100 decided to crap out. Anyway, I've got the same boxes grayed out as well and I wanted to have my phone automatically sync with my desktop. Does anybody out there have a solution?
BTW, other than this issue and the loose sim card problem, I love the 8220, always been a fan of the clam shell, but I can't see living without my Blackberry.10-16-10 01:41 AMLike 0 - If you are on a BES and the boxes are likely grayed out because the BES IT policy is still on the default, contact your BES admin:
