Has anybody out there tried using the scripts in this software to turn on Bluetooth when a call is received and off again when the call is finished.
I don't have a Bluetooth headset at the moment so I have no idea if the Bluetooth connection is established fast enougth, but if did, then it would be a good way of preserving battery power.
Hi Paul,
I see what you are saying however when using a BT headset the headset initiates the connection to the phone when it is switched on which means when you switch back on BT on the phone it won't initiate a connection to the headset. In this case you would need to either power on (assuming it's off) the headset or press one of the headset keys which might be enough to make the connection.
However the BT power consumption on modern phones is minimal and you probably only gain about 30 mins max extra standby time by switching BT off.

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.

Thank you for your help. I will definitely give it a try!
Wondering if anyone has had this problem. I haven't pinned a time down yet. I use a motorola car kit. It will disconnect and end the call for no reason. Is there a timer to auto disconnect in the bluetooth stack? Any help is appreciated.
approx 4minutes or less
I was having a problem w/mda and bluetooth and sometimes without bluetooth, in that the entire network would just drop when the call gets close to 4 minutes.... I called tmo about it and they simply gave up and said maybe its the phone...so they sent me a replacement mda, used it today during one call and couldn't believe that the call lasted longer than an hour...
Mine is only with bluetooth. I guess a little more info is needed. If I hit the voice dial button on my car kit I get the voice command tone. I have also used bluetooth to play music over the car kit with the voice command controls(just for fun, horrible quality). It will disconnect while it's playing music no call involved. I have a feeling it's the bluetooth connection timing out but I'm not sure. It's frustrating.
so its not happening during phone calls???
see there might be a bluetooth timeout that tmo doesn't know about...I have to use bluetooth and it seems like every 4min or less it blanks out everything and sometimes I even have to re pair the two devices.... I would try making calls and using the bluetooth w/o car kit...mine did some of the samethings like streaming music thru bt headseat and it would blankout with that also even when not on a call..
Car Kit Not Staying Paired???
I guess I wasn't clear. It happens in both situations. I think i have to re-pair after as well. As far as I know it doesn't stay paired. When a call comes in I usually have to wait about 2 rings before it rings through the car kit. Also when I make a call by hitting the voice dial button on the car kit the blue light blinks for about 2 seconds then I get the voice command sound. I assume that the blinking is it re-pairing. I guess I need info on how to keep it paired.
Anyone? I have found that time dosen't seem to be a issue as it has done it a 1min 43 seconds and 2 mins 38 seconds.

Try turning on the bluetooth first while your phone is off. Once the bluetooth is on, then turn on your cell phone. I tried many times in frustration why it is saying "phone is disconnected" looking for problems. Then it works now and even the phone book in my Nokia and Garmin GPS. Hope it helps you too.
Turn on bluetooth device first while the cell phone is off. Once bluetooth is on, then turn on the latter. Hope it works. Do it everytime you use bluetooth device in your car.
Hi,
i have phonealarm. Phonealarm can turn on bluetooth on incoming call. this save battery.
my td2 take about 30 seconds to connect to my seecode car handsfree.
my old touch cruise connected in 5-10 seconds.
30 seconds is to slow for the incoming call.
is there any way to speed up the bluetooth connect?
regards
lars

Can't answer that, but can report that leaving Bluetooth enabled all the time doesn't have a serious impact on battery life. I use Bluetooth for music, and when I turn on my Sony HBH DS-200 it connects immediately even with the TD2 in standby. Try it, nothing to lose.
I don't know if this is possible or if this is a really simple question however is there a way to disconnect a hands free device in 1-2 clicks.
what happens is this, I have a BlueAnt Speakerphone in the car I get out of the car (and forget to turn of BlueAnt) walk 15m and make a call - phone is still connected to Hands-Free, so how can I quickly disconnect the hands-free and make a call through the normal phones internal speaker.
I suppose I can assigna button to be comms manager and disable bluetooth however I want bluetooth to remain on if possible (just d/c hands-free temporarily)

You can try this, it merely toggles bluetooth.
However, I have had the same problem as you, so decided to make my TD2 KNOW when it is in my car and KNOW when it is not. I use GProfile for this. It knows when it is in my car because it is connected to my car cradle (it is charging) which is also an FM transmitter (it thinks it is connected to a headset). This then automatically turns bluetooth on when cradled. When I un-cradle it, it turns bluetooth off thus disconnecting from my handsfree headset.
GProfile is one program which does this but you could use Mortscript instead.
Hi,
Usually I use my device with two BT headsets, first is Jabra BT3030 for A2DP music listening and second is my car stereo with BT only as headset for phone calls. Normally when device is in standby, any of the two BT headsets turning on makes the device wake up and connect to device.
Recently after a backup / hard reset / restore action, when the device is in standby, turning on any of the headsets wakes the device, headset connected icon appears, but no connection is actually made.
I have to turn off then on either the headset or the BT on device. That means when device is not in standby connection is made as is supposed to.
When connection is made, device going in standby does not affect the connection.
I have tried re-pairing the device with both headsets, but there's no change.
Should I try another or more backup / hard reset / restore action till, hopefully, it's back to normal or there is another solution?
