I recently installed BCHS on my MDA Compact. It works great but when I receive a call it turns on the BT. But after the call is over it doesnt turn off. now because I dont use a headset this is an unneeded feature for me.
Also a lot of times my MDA sortof becomes unresponsive when the bluetooth was turned on, and I cant turn the phone on or off. And im forced to do a softreset.
Does anyone know of some registry hack to disable this auto-turn-on feature? I've already searched the forum, and kinda hoped the 'flightmode' thing would fix it.
Thanks in advance,

Hi all
I have K-JAM with latest IMate ROM
I notice that as soon as the phone starts ringing it enables bluetooth. I dont have a bluetooth headset and have never paired one with my device. Even more worrying is that it does not turn off the bluetooth after a call, or worse if I miss a call bluetooth could be left on draining the battery.
ive hunted for settings, i suspect its something to do with a headset setting but cant find anything. Does anyone know how to stop it doing this? Its very irritating.
Cheers

If you don't have a bluetooth headset you might not need bluetooth at all. If you don't then just go to Start --> Settings --> Connections and click the Bluetooh icon and just turn it off completely. You can also hit the Comm Manager button (upper side left button) and turn it off there. I have mine all the time and it really doesn't waste the battery much more than if it were off. Same thing applies with wi-fi as long as your phone goes to sleep. If you are turning it off and it automatically turns on when you get an incomming call then you definitely have something weird going on.
Good luck
Hi,
No i definately have BT turned off but as soon as there is an incoming call it turns on, and sometimes when you close the phone application the Comm Manager is visible behind it.
Has anyone else seen this?
G!
Wow... That is definitely strange. I was pretty sure mine didn't do that because I just recently got a bluetooth headset so I wasn't always using bluetooth. I tested this just to make sure. Mine does not turn bluetooth on. If I turn it off it stays off.
I have a Qtek 9100 non branded with the first WWE release
ROM 1.1.7.5
ROM 09/22/05
Radio 01.01.10
Protocol 4.0.13.16
extROM 1.1.7.105
My Xda Mini S doesn't either, but it would be a great feature to have to save battery life, in fact it has long been requested since the first Windows Smartphone 2 years ago.
Perhaps your device has some registry entry that we don't?
Hi everyone. I've done a search for a similar problem, but I haven't managed to come up with anything. I recently upgraded my T-Mobile MDA to the latest i-mate ROM, and everything seems to be working nicely for me. Everything, that is, except for one niggly little problem. I keep my bluetooth turned on permanently bacause of my bluetooth headset. However, it seems that everytime I push the red hang-up button to hang-up a call or to turn off GPRS, my bluetooth turns off automatically as well. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, and what I need to do to prevent it from happening?
Hey guys,
First off, I must say that although I am a new user on these boards, I've scoured them thoroughly before posting this. I also must say that everything I've seen on these forums have helped me LARGELY with setting up my lovely Universal. I owned an MPx200 SmartPhone before this, so I was familiar, and the pointers that everyone has posted have allowed me to get my device fully customized in about 3-4 days (I'm a busy dood too!).
Anyways, onto my issue...I'm not sure if this is the way that it is supposed to behave, but let's say that I have PHONE and BT on in my Comm Manager...now, if I get into my office and turn my Samsung WEP200 BT Headset OFF, all calls that come in will be automatically picked up/answered by my device. It's quite messed as I don't think the actual phone mic/earpiece are activated....as if it's looking for the BT headset, gives up, and just connects the call but I cannot talk to the caller. If I turn my BT Headset back on, all works properly.
Basically, my issue with this is that I'd like to power off my BT headset while still leaving the BT Radio ON on the Universal for ActiveSync, etc.. Is there something I'm missing, or do I have to have BT off everytime the Headset is off?
I read about Buzz' BT_headset_fix3.cab and ended up installing it, however I'm not totally sure what it does so I don't want to remove it, then realize it opens up a new can o' worms...
Anyways, if anyone has any ideas or similar behavior with their Uni's, please let me know...It's not crucial, however it is my one and only annoying problem with this device.
Thanks in advance guys!!
Using my 8525 for a bit over a month now, and I love the phone. Plenty of hacks/tweaks/edits and the phone is just how I like it right now.
Driving a 2005 Acura TL with the built in HandsFree Link and the phone paired seamlessly.
Recently, I notice that while on a call, sometimes the BT Link will drop and automatically transfer the call to the handset. This only happens here & there, not every call. Once call so far after I hung up in the car, the phone was still on and I ended up leaving someone a 6 minute voicemail of me driving, listening to music.....that can be dangerous!!!
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks,
John
i HAD SOME DISCONNECTS WHEN I RECEIVING MESSAGES..IS THAT IT?
No, it will just drop the bluetooth signal mid-call, then to get the car to recognize the phone again, I have to turn off the car and turn it back on to reset connection.....

I've had the same problem, only once or twice in about a week, using my Jawbone bth headset. Very disconcerting, but survivable. I can see where losing the car pairing might be a bit more problematic.
I wonder if this is because of the /weak/ Bth stack on the TyTN???
-Humbert
Possibly. I thought I saw some upgrades for the BT Stack on here somewhere but now I cant seem to track them down.
Something about the BT Radio shutting down or going into sleep mode after a while and a registry edit to keep it on at the sacrifice of minimal battery life which is fine by me...
Didn't read you mentioning it, but does bluetooth power off during the breaking of the link? If it does, read on and try the following..
not sure if this will help, but try to disable your auto power off options, uncheck the on battery power and on external power..
I had this solved some bluetooth problems especially using the Hermes Widcomm hack and MSI Blueplayer..
Yes, the BT does turn off, but then on again automatically as soon as the call is ended.
Where are you talking about? Is this in the registry or the BT Settings? I was not sure if the WidComm stack is fully functional as of yet, if so, is it in the Wiki?
Thanks again,
John
The WidComm stack is definitely NOT fully functional yet. One of the problems I have with this stack is that, the bluetooth will power off when my wizard turns off or goes into standby, which is not normal!
Not it is not a registry setting, but it is just how it behaves on my system. Sorry for not being a help... I know how the MS Stack pisses people off..
Best regards,
Eugene
Hey, every little bit of info I can get helps....
Thanks for the info on the WidComm Stack....I might just wait and deal with the MS untill the WC is fully functional and possibly in CAB format....just to make life all the easier!
OK, So today my phone would not drop the BT signal from my car.....after being home for 4 hours, it was still trying to use the HandsFree when recieving or making calls....took me a minute to figure out because the dialer skin I have is black at the top, so I could not see the headset icon at the top and was wondering why I could not hear anyone or use speakerphone.
Hopefully it was just a freak accident and wont happen again, but just incase, any suggestions?
Is there any way to force the hermes to keep bluetooth turned on? Mine turns itself off whenever it feels like it. Perhaps a small app that runs every time power button is pressed to check and enable bluetooth? Fed up of my hands free kit not working cos the bluetooth has turned off again...

I have the same issue with mine. Has anyone replied to you with a fix? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Mine too... a right pain in the arse when you've started driving and realise the car kit isn't connected. For now its worth keeping the 'Wireless' on the today screen just to keep an eye on the BT status!
Hello Together,
I have/had the same problem. Now I have the Jetware BT (http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm) stack on my MDA Vario II. With this stack the BT is more stabe. Not complete but better and the audio quality with hands-free devices is better. With this program you can create shotcuts to turn BT on and off and these shortcuts you can assign to your hard buttons. So you can quickly turn on BT when you recognize that BT is off.
Hope that helps
Greetings Pudl
