TT5 Bluetooth and floight mode problem

Before installing TT5, my bluetooth worked fine, even in flight mode. After installing TT5, bluetooth does not work at all. Everytime I try to activate it, it comes with the warning: Please turn off flight mode first. My GSM part is on, so flight mode is off, but I still get the message. soft reset and re-installing TT5 did not work, neither did removing TT5 Bluetooth app.
I use TT5 as a road map, without bluetooth GPS, but no matter what I try, it keeps popping up a message every 10 secs asking me to turn flight mode off. I don't need the bluetooth to be on when using TT5, even more, I like it to stay off for power reasons.
Also after un-installing TT5, my bluetooth still does not work! Can anyone out there help me?

I get the same problem also.My bluetooth does work however as i use a bluetooth gps.I find that when your in TT5 and the message pops up,just quickly turn flight mode on then off and then you can carry on using it fine after that with no interuptions

I had the same thing. It turned out to be a 'Flightmode' program I downloaded using a link from this site. For some reason it didn't always turn BT completely back on.
Instead I found a program called RadioOff, also on this forum, and it works perfectly. No TT5 problems since this switch.

My bluetooth issues are partly resolved. by turning flight mode on, then resetting and then turning it off again bluetooth works again. Perhaps my flight mode switcher, a different one from yours, is making trouble. Can you send me the radiooff that you mentioned, since I cannot find it on the forum. my email is jdfkok at hotmail. Thanks!

I'll upload it here, so everyone has a chance to pick up this nice proggy
Don't know who made it, but it's a job well done.

thanks man! I will report back to you if it solved my problems

Hi, just tested it and I think it is the same one I already use! Byte count is exactly the same, just the name and icon are different. But I noticed another thing...When I switch on flight mode with both apps, my bluetooth stays on and can be switched on and off. When I switch flight mode on using the standard windows application in the phone bubble, bluetooth goes off as well and cannot be switched on again! Looks like the app you posted makes it possible to use bluetooth while the gsm is off, while the normal way to enter flight mode also shuts down the bluetooth radio. interesting find! Now all the problems I had can beresolved by using the right way to switch flight mode on and off. Thanks for your help!

Happy to help Although I find it very weird that 'Radio Off' means that BT is still running! But maybe it's made for a non-BT device?

Yes, strange isn't it? But might be helpful in some circumstances to have it work like this. I know I won't touch my bluetooth settings anymore, now I have this sorted out, don't want to spend another 2 hours figuring out how to switch it the way I want :wink:

Have teh same problem with QTek s100, can't turn on bluetooth (get "turn on flight mode first"). Sorry, where did you get RadioOff.exe program? Seek all the site and forum and didn't see where can I download it.

How to run in 'PDA mode' (no phone fuctions)?

My girlfriend would like to borrow my MDA for TomTom use.
I would like to turn off all phone functions, but can't find the option.
Flight mode also disables Bluetooth, so thats no use. Diverting all call's does not stop SMS messages.

Remove the SIM

Tap the sigal icon and in the ballon popup there should be a flight mode option.
When I put my phone into flight mode I can still use wifi and bluetooth - just use the comm manager to turn each function back on as required. The phone becomes a PDA in flight mode with everything else bar the phone still being functional. If you still can't get bluetooth back on then you're doing something wrong.

Just swicth off the phone in the Comm Manager. You can leave the other (BT or Wifi) on if you need them.
Flight mode will turn off everything (wifi, BT, and phone).

Wifi over 3G

Hey,
I have a seemingly simple problem. I use POP email and I want to check for emails regularly but at home and work I can stay connected to a WiFi network.
I know with Skype I can set the program to use WiFi if available else 3G. Does anyone know if this can be done at a system level so for instance that email and any other apps needing a connection will follow this protocol, please?
Thanks.

Since i do not want to create a new thread (for 2 posts maximum) i will ask here: my phone shows that is connected with the wi-fi (usr9108 router--> access point) BUT when i am trying to sign in to msn, skype open a page in I.E nothing happens, it's like i am not connected to the net.

Most applications will use whatever connection is already on. In your case if you are connected via WiFi then your email will use that connection, if not then it will try to connect by the default GPRS/3G connection setting. I do this all the time.

Okay, yeah sorry.
To clarify I think what I really want is to let the device go into sleep mode and attempt to create a WiFi connection before it attempts to create a 3G data connection.
Other than that, purchasing a cradle and leaving the device in alert mode would be the way forward would it?
Is there a way for WiFi to remain on even if the device is in Sleep mode?
Thanks again.

Oh I see you what you mean. Why not try this schedule an event to wake the device and so long as it was connected to a wireless AP when it went to sleep it will try to reconnect when it wakes then schedule another event after a suitable pause to allow it to find and connect to AP to sync email.
Alternatively try SKSchema or MortScript which are both macro tools to do the above.

Cheers Jazza. Not sure how to 'schedule' an event but I'll do some research into 'SKSchema or MortScript' to see how I can use them.
Thanks for your help.

Keeping Internet connection Alive (Ping)

I have been using a dialing CDMA cell over bluetooth for internet access from BlackStone.
The connection goes dormant after 10 sec inactivity. Each wake up from dormancy is charged a new call
Is there any app (preferably freeware) that constantly pings a public server say yahoo.com in background to keep the connection Alive?

HD Tweak has this ability just download and install and check what you want your phone to do I believe it has the option to remain connected when phone sleeps

Thanks for that ... I already have it.
Here the problem is not HD going to sleep but the external phone data connection... So I need to ping it repeatedly. I do on desktop with the ping command. (and earlier in my palm PDA by a IM client for Jabber).
Now on PPC I am lost. I tried an app called GPRS keep alive for WM5 but doesn't seem to work well on WM6 of THD.

Do you found a solution for the disconnect problem? At the moment I use "hrping -t -s 5000 google.de" at my desktop or vxUtils directly on the TouchHD.

vxUtils unfortunately makes the device so slow/unresponsive as to be useless. (looks like some incompatibility with the graphics processing of HD becuse CPU utilisation is not high).So still looking for a useable solution.
Hopefully some one writes a simple pinging utility... My service provider is minting money by data calls every 20-30 sec!!
