Hi all,
Searched under 'bluetooth' with no obvious joy.
When I turn on bluetooth I have to manually make sure that the device is discoverable every time if I want to receive via bluetooth. Is it posible to make the device 'discoverable' automatically when I simply turn bluetooth on?
Thanks.
Matt
Well I'm surprised at you all! lol.
Sorry guys, been away (pc problems!! still ongoing but at least now I can connect to www) so not been watching the site.
Anyone any ideas on this?
Matt
I think you have to tick "receive incoming beams" under connections

All I did was go into bluetooth settings, make discoverable, and everytime I power on my BT Headset, it automatically connects.

Is beam receive switched off? This has been a very common problem with WM5 users before I've published the fix to it.

It should connect every time you power it up - even without your PDA being discoverable.
Hello!
Unfortunatley ihave the same issue when i'm connecting using Stereo BT Nokia BH-501. The problem is that each time after the BT is switched off and then switched on i need to go to Bluetooth settings and make an update for it and save. Only ofter these steps it reconnects to Hermes (HTC TyTN) and starting to play sounds and music through BT
Is it possible to make it fully reconnect automatically after it is switched on and how?
Thanks!
VJVolubilis can force you into discoverable mode from a shortcut, so you can drop that into your startup folder, but it's not advisable to keep yourself discoverable unless required.

Hey VJ
I just tried that... I made a shortcut with the -bluediscoveron paramenter and removed the -status parameter. I dropped it in my Windows\Startup folder.
It doesn't seem to be working, When I turn on my BT, Dicoverable Mode is still OFF. However after, I enable my BT and then click on the shortcut with -bludiscoveron parameter, it works.
Is there anyway to have Discoverable Mode on even after I turn off my BT and then on again?

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to setup my Jabra BT250 on the XDA2 with imate rom 1.72. After bonding, everything works perfectly; However, if I turn off the phone's bluetooth or turn off the headset, I can no longer use the headset.
I have to go through the whole bonding process again before I can use the headset once more.
I have also tried Pocket Bluetooth Tools with the same exact results.
Not sure what is going on.
Found a workaround... All you need to do is click on the Bluetooth Icon, then click on the Bonded Devices tab then close that window. It'll enable you to use the headset again.
But I hope it's only a temporary fix and that someone has a permanent fix out there.
Hey...I also go thru the tedious task of clicking icons to on/off the bT headset.
Enter PocketZenPhone...
It save you the trouble of doing this...
I'm sure you'll find the thread and dicussions on the active thread on the homepage. Its cool. 8)
Thanks... I notice that it works fine if you give it a few seconds before trying to answer.
I need to do more testing
Hello,
i have a qtek 2020 1.75.00 WWE
My question is as follows:
Is it possible to have the headset mode set to "enabled" as soon as Bluetooth is switched on? At this moment, i have to go to the today screen to manually touch the headset icon to enable it. So even when bluetooth is active, i still can't use my headset immediately. When the phone rings i still have to go through the above mentiond manouvre, so by the time i have done that, the phone already stopped ringing.
So what i actually want is that the headset mode is either always enabled or that it gets enabled as soon as bt is active.
I hope you can help me.
Regards,
Ilana
Hi Ilana,
On my i-mate (XDA II) I run Pocket Bluetooth Tools (or BTHTools) which you'll find on XDA Developers if you search for it, and aside from adding additional profiles (such as the missing SPP - Serial Port Profile, which is needed to connect to Bluetooth GPS units), it also replaces the default Headset Profile app with an automatic one.
When the phone is activated by an incoming or outgoing call, the Bluetooth radio turns on automatically & I just tap the BT headset's answer button to transfer the call to the headset. When the call finishes the BT radio automatically turns off again after 60 seconds (thus saving battery power).
Give it a try - you can uninstall it to return to the default Microsoft BT stack if it doesn't ring your bell.
Lucas.
Thank you for your help. I will definitely give it a try!
So i once paired my phone with my car stereo handsfree, but since it was a $100 stereo, the handsfree didn't work correctly. So i don't want to use it anymore. But the stupid stereo have no way to turn off bluetooth.
I tried deleting the stereo from paired devices, and set my phone bluetooth to "hidden" - but that stupid stereo still finds me, and a message about "bla bla wants to connect" pops up everytime i get into my car.
I also tried disconneting power from my stereo, and use the reset switch on it, which reset all settings on it - but IT STILL FINDS MY PHONE!
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? At the end of the day, i have like 10 notifications on my phone i have to go through and click "No" on...
On the Wizard did you ...?
1) Push the Comm mgr tab
2) Click on settings
3) BlueTooth Settings
4) Mode: UN-check the box "Make this device discoverable to other devices"
5) click OK.
If you didn't do that, try it.
Then go to B/T settings again and pick devices, and remove the device giving you trouble.
That SHOULD do it.
as mentioned i have already made it undiscoverable for other devices. But it still tries to connect to me...
Been looking around for a resolution to my issue and still can't seem to find any.
Here's the deal, I have a Motorola H710 BT mono headset. I just recently upgraded my rom to the latest "Official" 3.56. and prior to the upgrade I was using bad sector's IDtransfer app with the audiogateway app to be able to listen to the incoming ringtones through the headset and I would use the audiogateway app to be able to listen to music through the headset as needed, then shut if off when I didn't.
The problem arose after the update and when trying to install these same two apps. I would get into a rolling reboot after the soft reset and had to hard reset to fix it.
I'm currently using Destination Gotlands BT app and although it seems to let me hear my ringtones and music through I guess an "always on" audio gateway, it comes at the expense of not having voice speed dial as by pressing down on the earpiece buttin is what turns on the app and opens the gateway, where as before it was what turned on voice speed dial.
Another issue is that when I put the phone in "sleep" mode by pushing the power button, the gateway seems to close and the music no longer is heard through the BT headset. It also does this when i'm not even using the BT headset but the phone's speakers. Is this normal? It seems to cut in and out sometimes. I'm pretty sure that it use to play music with the screen turned off prior to the update. Is there a registry tweak or something that will allow this?
So in brief, what i'm looking for is an app/reg tweak that will allow me to
1. Hear my incoming call ringtones through my BT headset automatically.
2. Still use voice speed dial.
3. Listen to music through my BT headset when I want to and be able to shut it off.
4. Not close the audio gateway with my bt headset when I turn off the screen on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And again, this is for WM6.1.
Thanks!
bump. Anyone?
Opposite Problem
I just reflashed my phone the other day.
As I was going and reconfiguring everything I noticed that my bluetooth connection was active even when I put my phone to sleep.
I remember changing some settings last time I configured my phone to turn off bluetooth and not allow data connections when the phone was asleep to conserve battery.
I thought I used an application like "AdvancedConfig" or "KaiserTweak" to change the WM6 settings but I am not seeing those settings in those applications this second time around.
I'm running Dutty's Dual Touch for the Kaiser. I'm sure there are settings to set on the WM6 OS registry that can turn on or off the bluetooth sleep functions.
Do any of you know an application that can change the bluetooth / data connections hack or the registry changes that need to be made to accomplish this?
I think I may have found it.
Go to Settings -> Phone -> "Data" Tab. See if you're "Disable data Connections" setting is checked and try unchecking it.
This may affect bluethooth. I have my macbook connected to my phone showing signal strength and batter. When I unchecked that box and put my phone to sleep the connection was lost.
Let me know if that fixed it.

Don't have that "data" option/tab in my phone settings. Only "Services" and "More". And under services there is no data option either.
Hi, I have a problem setting my S4 to autoconnect with my car bluetooth automatically. When I switch ON bluetooth I need the car to connect instantly, but it doesn't happen. Until I go to bluetooth settings and select the already paired device it doesn't start.
I've read that I need to clear the memory of the car and of the phone and start again. I've done that with the car's bluetooth, but I'm not able to do it with the phone. Do you know what do I have to do?
I'm root, by the way, so I can delete some folder or file if it's necessary.
Thank you
