Multiplay by bluetooth at Pocket PC??

gpc · WI Forum Novice

I try multiplay in my pocket pc and palm.
I use Warfare Incorporated 1.2.
My pocket PC is Mitac Mio558. (OS: WM2003 with Bluetooth and Wifi)
My Palm is Sony Clie TG50 (OS: palm OS5 with Bluetooth)

However, i face a problem that i can't see the "Bluetooth" option in my Pocket PC.

Does the Warfare Incorporated 1.2 support bluetooth connection at Pocket PC??
But i cannot see the bluetooth option.
This is because of my PPC is specially ?

Can any body help me to play the multiplayer game between Mio 558 and Clie TG50 through Bluetooth?

If your pda has bluetooth, you can find an icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the today screen. If it is not there then you can go into the programs menu and there should be an icon that says "bluetooth manager". If you still cant find it then go into settings menu, click the "system" tab and then click on "asset viewer". There you should see if your pda really has bluetooth or not because it will be listed as one of its capabilities.

I also can find an icon that says "bluetooth manager" in the programs menu .

However, when i tap the "Multiplay" in Warfare Incorporated, I cannot find the "bluetooth" option, only one "Network".

This is my PPC Specification:

Well on my pocket pc it shows up and I know that bluetooth multiplayer is now supported. Perhaps it is a compatability issue with your specific pda. Have you tried contacting handmark or spiffcode?

Some Bluetooth problems on My Pocket PC,

The programmers of the software are the modertaors on the messageboard, so thye would probably have a more definitive answer as to how to get bluetooth to show up on your device than I. Hopefully, they should be able to answer your messageboard query.

Thank you,

Have you used Bluetooth before on your PDA?
If not you need to enable it.
If you have you may still need to enable it each time you use any other infared options like a key board etc on your PDA.
Hope this helps.

I too am experiencing this problem, I have the tmobile MDA with Bluetooth enabled (double and triple checked). It seems to default to wifi to search for games... all my buddies have the TREO but I don't want the treo

What is wrong with Treo? I use the 650 model over GPRS to play against people. I can't host with it unfortunately. Screen is small, I must admit.

Never used the BT to play on it though.
