Hey you guys…
I’ve got a question…
Is there an app whcich will toggle Bluetooth on when you enter the telephone function of the wizard?(ei. Press the green button) and that toggles Bluetooth on when there is an incoming call?
Then again turns blutooth off when you end the call and telephone app. :?:
Tomtom also toggles Bluetooth on when you launch the app, and it would be nice that you don’t have to manually toggle Bluetooth on when you get an ioncomming call in your car, or when you want to make a call in your car.
This way you can save battery life, because Bluetooth isn’t permanently on, and it turns on when you need it…
Is there such an app, or is this impossible….
Anybody? :?:
Maybe phonealarm can do it. It can definatly switch different profiles like home, car etc. and within the profile you can launch programs, turn on/off bluetooth/hifi

[edit] I should add that WM5 support is still in beta at the moment [/edit]
Okay, but I don't think that you cange a profile when you enter a car, because I just put the phone on a charger, and use a Jabra headset, so no professional carkit.
It would be nice if there's an app that switches bluetooth dependent on another app, not on a profile...
But I'll look into phonealarm...
Thanks, anybody else got an idea?

One reason I didn't keep phone alarm is because it didn't quite do what I was looking for. It was closer than everything else I've found, but seemed to slow my whole experience with my phone down.
Maybe someone like vijay555 might make something that'll do that.
I have got into the habbit of useing my BT headset when getting into the car and turning it off when I get out. I plug my phone into the car to keep it topped up, so using extra power isn't a problem.

I use a BT GPS receiver with my XDA II using MS BT stack. When I switch the XDA off and switch it back on I have to turn bluetooth back on and reconnect with the GPS receiver. Is there any way of keeping bluetooth on when you go into standby mode?
cant you just stop the xda from going standby ?
i mean most of those car gps thingys have power for the xda dont they ?
I won't be in a car. Walking around a city for a couple of hours - I'm going to drain the battaries too quickly.
Mine don't do that, it kept bluetooth on when I turn my XDA II off. I have a program in addition called Bluetooth Tools that automatically turn my BT off after a few seconds and turns on when I receive and make a call. I can also turn off the timer so the bluetooth stays on.
I use BTW-CE and I have the same problem. Before reinstalling this application everything was ok.
A half solution I've figured out is to create a shortcut to the bluetooth settings page - a lot of the time I can't acccess the bluetooth icon on the today screen because the input/keyboard bar is covering it (might have something to do with Fitaly). Anyway if you copy the following into a shortcut file i.e. Bluetooth.lnk:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
you can then assign it to a hardware button
I've tried Bluetooth Tools, while it does give you a handy bluetooth icon in the middle of the today screen it doesn't stop my bluetooth from turning off in standby mode.
@markh
are you using the widcomm bt stack?
No, the microsoft one
Hi guys,
Remember there is "Automatic pickup" (see Phone/Tools/More)?
Well, try using it while having your Bt earpeace or hands-free kit...
No go? Have to press a button in order to get the chat?
That is exactly what's driving me crazy!
See if you can adapt automatic pickup for the earpeace too...
I tried - in vale..
Hmmm...
Do you mean where I can actually pick up a call when the phone is ringing?
I don't get the idea, can you be more specific. When my phone rings, I just simply hit the phone button on my Jabra 250V.
Auto pickup by Bt
Let me put it this way:
The auto pickup format is made for receiving a call without the need to press anything: after a few rings (you set their quantity) the phone is open for the conversation by itself.
Go to Phone / Tools / More and see for yourself!
The problem that if you use a Bt device you have to press a button in order to get the call, even if it's auto pickup.
Now, try doing that in surgery or while you have to pay attention to the road when driving..
Let's find a way to allow auto pickup through Bt as well!
i have a problem with this. i'm sitting at my pc, someone calls my phone automaticly answers and connects to my pc as hands-free. it does all this in like half a ring so i have no time to stop it. i have to pick up my phone take off handsfree and then i see who it is i'm talking to, and most of the time its people i'm avoiding. and its getting really annoying because my bt on my pc reaches my phone almost anywhere in the house i went to phone-tools-options-more and the auto answer feature is unselected. what do i do? also when i go to bluetooth devices on my jam there is no remove hands-free only set as handsfree.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i fixed it, i just went to bluetooth services on my pc and unchecked start up automaticly on headset thingy.
thanks anyway
Will this only turn on/off Bluetooth with an incoming call?
I want it to turn on/off Bluetooth for any situation when I stop/start something that needs it.
For example if BT is off, and I start ActiveSync on the XDA, BT starts automatically. But when I close AS, BT stays on.
I was hoping something like DKToday would help with this, but it only seems to work for calls.
tap the bluetooth icon and it turns bluetooth of, at least it does for me.
I had a |Plantronics bluetooth headset which connected as soon as it was turned on. I now have an iTech S35 Bluetooth stereo headset. This won't automatically connect. I have to go through all the menus to select as wireless stereo and handsfree - a total of 9 taps!
Not sure if this is the fault of my device or the headset.
Anyone know how to get them to connect automatically?
happens to me too although i have different make of headsets... dunno the cause either what i do is delete the partnerships and reestablish them. I do this everytime I get the iffy behavior. so it's no big deal.
I have the same problem with my jabra BT620s headset. It connects it self as a Bluetooth handsfree and can use voice dialing, but It doesn't connect automatically as a wireless headset. I have to go to Wireless Manager and set it there...
Any way to make it automatically... or at least with a use of a simple click?
hmmm... known issue on the BT620s, however the fact that the iTech clip is also affected is new to me. Quite frankly, I'd never asked.
There are several headsets that don't have the issue, but its about 50/50.
I've been having a similar problem with Lubix NC1s (btw, had the problem on my MDA too).
Until I know a permanent fix, I've used iLauncher to place a Bluetooth icon on the System Tray, so at least I can get to the device profile in 2 clicks.

How did you get to the shortcut - I couldnt find which programme / file to select?

This is using iLauncher from SBSH:
Under Settings>Shortcuts you can select "* Shell Tray Tab *" as your tab, then "Add" Bluetooth from "Cpl Applets".
One click opens Bluetooth Settings, then click on Devices.
Ah Ha! Done it, Thank you.
I often wondered how you got shortcuts on the bottom tray!
thanks
With the iTech you have to press the MFB buttton (the flashy one) once it is turned on to connect it. Bloody stupid I know. I don't turn it on to watch the light flash, I turn it on to connect it to my device.
Hi-I tried this with a trinity and itech and a single press of the button just activates voice dial then disconnects. Any ideas?
Sorry just re-read, I have an R35, thought you did too. You could try the Bluetooth audio routing program from below, there's a program & a separate today screen plugin version:

Not sure if it'll work or what the quality may be like but its worth a stab.
instructions with Bluetooth X5
For those that have a Tytn and Blueant X5 (with the latest firmware)
- turn on bluetooth on tytn and the X5
- quick-press volume up and down buttons -> Done (you might have to have your bluetooth in discoverable mode -> not sure)
BTW - Blueant X5 are fantastic - I have had it for over a year; and now about 5 of my work colleagues bought them too.

I have an iTech S38 and it works the same with the MFB button. If it does not work for you (ie when you press it you just get voice command) then I think it's a rom issue, not the headset itself. Ie, the bluetooth stack is not recognising the request to connect from the headset.
Try A2DPToggle

Can also be made to work with one button press using mortscript.

I trying to find out a very simple program that can turn Bluetooth on/off on a schedule.
I only use bluetooth at my car, and I'm always on my car at the same time.
Thanks
I have an app called Wireless Time, it lets you do that with Bluetooth, Wifi, Sound, and the Phone itself! I unfortunately do not remember where it's at, but I'm sure you can find it with a search here.
Thanks bwilliams73,
Wireless Time seems to do the job, but it's too confusing. I didn't liked the interface.
If anyone have a second option I would like to know.
Thanks
Can WirelessTime run minimized?
I've been looking for a tool like WirelessTime to turn on Bluetooth during the hours I'm commuting in the car and to turn off Wifi when I'm at work. I've put a shortcut in Startup to restart it after a soft-reset but is there a command line switch to start minimized ?

Just extract and add this to your start up items in the windows folder. Basically it turns on bluetooth when the phone is charging and turns it off when it is not. I use it because I don't really want bluetooth on when I'm not charging it and don't mind it being on when I am. Also I use a bluetooth headset when driving and I don't need to fiddle with the phone when I get into the car. Just put it in it's cradle and bingo....

WirelessTime.
It's working very well on my HTC diamond.
