Hello,
Hopefully somebody can help me, the BT turns on after taking/recieving/missed calls. It is annoying. Does anybody know how to stop it? I have tied tuning it off or into discovery mode, but to no help.
Any suggestions anybody? is their a reg hack for it?
Thanks
I had the same problem and fixed it by uninstalling bluetooth tools stack. Seems Okfor first hour.
Regards
Richardracer
I had the same problem and can confirm removing BT Tools fixed it.
Seems to be an 'undocumented feature'
but if the circle (a clock i think) is made white (as in on) then it turns off itself after awhile

It isn't an undocumented feature, it's one of the main features of Pocket Bluetooth Tools! In order to save battery, BT is kept switched off until a call comes in then it comes on (no messing around with the headset profile crap on the today screen). After the call finishes, if the timer is enabled in BPT, it turns BT off after about a minute (configurable in the registry).

"Today screen"
The icon on the left activates or deactivates Bluetooth. The clock symbol switches automatic power off for Bluetooth on or off. When activated (white backround as in the picture) then Bluetooth will be switch off after 60sec of inactivity.

Please take the time to read the documentation when installing software.
i still feel there should be the option to have bluetooth tools installed and not use the timer and still not have it turn bluetooth on when the phone ring
BT Tools made my headset completely non-functional. I could pair it after installation as instructed, but the phone would not put calls on the headset no matter what. Nice idea, but didn't work for me.
Has anyone actually measured the battery impact of having BT on? On my Ericsson T68 it had a very minimal impact on the battery life.
PBTool is wonderful. Before using it, after my first call of the day the xda would not release the connection. This meant it was running the bluetooth at full power continuously, which would drain the battery in about 3 hours, and the battery in the bluetooth headset in about the same time. So completely useless as a PDA.
With PBTools, it now closes the connection by turning bluetooth of a few seconds after the call finishes (Ive set it to 3 seconds in the registry).
It has finally made my headset usable, and for that I thank Towa.
I do wish he has made it more configurable, but at least he made is quite usable by default. Until another programmer comes along and does better, I dont think we have much to complain about.

Hey, you're the one who obviously didn't RTFM. In your case it was an 'undocumented feature' only because you didn't read the documentation! If I'm the smart one...
I have experienced a strange problem with my JasJar bluetooth radio. The bluetooth radio seems to turn itself off from time to time. I think it is somehow related to WM2005, because I had the same issue with a Himalaya running WM2005 (thanks to Buzz). What is weird is that the blue light continues to blink. If you go to the wireless manager applet, it sometimes shows the bluetooth as on and sometimes as off, but if you go to the bluetooth setting, it shows the radio as off. Turning it on, with the applet, or in the bluetooth settings, is only sometimes successful in actually getting it working again. Ressetting the device works every time. No need to re-pair.
Any suggestions?
TIA

INFURIATING!!!
Makes device useless as a phone. I am missing call after call!
I tried buzz's reg power hack, but I got dropped again this morning. my current hypotheses are based on the few things that happened btwn ok & bad today:
- may happen after an alarm
- may happen when charged
- may have been caused by a missed call
we need 2 elevate this. it is a SERIOUS flaw. have tried 3 BT devices - all the same!

This is what happens if you buy a "beta" product for tons of money. Next time be more clever and buy later, when the operating software is near to final. And btw HTC sucks 'coz they are selling / producing a non-final product.
Edit: i've made a mistake in the registry... found by ekapco. THANX.

Buzz, you're a legend!
Trying it right now, will report back tomorrow.
Can u not help us on all our other problems (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28343)? Your posts on Buzzdev.net indicate that you're far more technically savvy than most ppl here.
Tried headsetfix on my BA still no go
BT is stopped after 3-5 min.

WOW!
That was a helpful post. Thanks.
Buzz; can you explain what your fix actually does? I don't have a cab extractor here to look at the contents.
fix sets hds1: = dword:0 for 'unattended' system power state.
hds1: is headset device identifier.
bkl1: is backlight
wav1: is wave device
dsk1: is block/disk device
etc...
let's have some fun with those power settings...
open your regeditor and change
[HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/power/state/on]
"bkl1:"=dword:4
and
[HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/power/state/backlightoff]
"bkl1:"=dword:0
after changing the regs, press power button to off and on again. that will flush and apply new settings.
ok. the above settings will REVERT backlight's behaviour. I mean, when device is on, backlight is off. after inactivity timeout, light goes on.
well... funny experiment...
that proves, that devices could be powermanaged from here.
if you've had enough fun, revert those settings to normal. ;o)))
now set in:
[HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/power/state/unattended]
"bkl1:"=dword:0
that SHOULD turn the backlight on, when you leave the device untouched for a longer time (when the display goes off) or if you press the power button.
so leave it untouched and watch the display to see what's gonna happen on the 'unattended' state.
after approx. 5 minutes (never measure that), just when the display is about to off itself, BACKLIGHT FLASHES for a second and goes OFF.
why? we just said, bkl1:=0 (ON)?
so our settings are overriden. maybe that 'flags' settings?
lets see later, but exactly the same happens with BT connection even if we say ON, it goes off...
I have to sleep now in 'unattented' state, but meanwhile you can look at msdn, coz I saw those flags description there.
good night

Hi,
your tricks are very helpfull. The Bluetooth keeps on now on my device. Can you do the same to the wifi connection?

Please follow my last post here or you have to tell me your wifi device handle.
I try to find the device ID
In "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Power/Interfaces" i fount this 4 IDs
{8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715} Power-manageable block devices
{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} Power-manageable NDIS miniports
{A32942B7-920C-486b-B0E6-92A702A99B35} Generic power-manageable devices
{EB91C7C9-8BF6-4a2d-9AB8-69724EED97D1} Power-manageable display
Does this help? Or am I wrong?
O Hell! Your hack seems to have kept it alive overnight, and I truly thought it was solved. But today I'm finding that the BT problems go way deeper than sleeping (nothing to do ur hack):
- In the middle of a call, with my phone within 2 feet of me at all times and both devices fully charged, it disconnected BT and continued the call on the handset
- Thereafter I got the kind of trouble we've experienced in the past:
- A new call coming in only answers on the handset. Pressing the BT button initiates a SECOND call out on the BT - to the last number dialed.
- Trying to make an outgoing call it LOOKS like the headset is enabled, but as soon as the call initiates the headset icon dissapears and the call continues on the handset
- Throughtout, BT seems to be on (ie no on/off issues)
- All seemingly fixed by a reset.
Basically it feels like the BT stack is a complete disaster. When u start ROM hacking this Buzz, I'm very much looking forwards to going back to the old BT stack.
Any thoughts Buzz?

...stupid question, but:
does it actually have MS BT stack??
buzz
there is another problem, it seems that my mobile doesn't accept any connection from any nokia mobile, it says to them (unable to connect), i don't know why???????????
I too am experiencing Bluetooth problems with my O2 Exec and a Motoroa HS810 headset. I use voice tags quite a bit and for the most part this works well however sometimes the EXEC fails to respond to the button press on the headset.
I first noticed this when I did the reg hack to make MS Voice Command the default Voice dialler and presumed that maybe there was a problem with MS VC so went back to VoiceDialler. However the same thing happens with VoiceDialler. To get it working again i have to turn off bluetooth in the Wireless Settings panel and then turn it on again. After this it starts to work again (but not ideal if your driving).
I think this might be the same problem mentioned above, i.e. bluetooth says it is on, the blue led flashes on the phone, but in reality it has switched itself off. I did some more testing while the headset was not initiating voice dialling and called the Exec. After a short time, the headset icon appeared on the "Incoming Call" message area and my headset burst into life. This would make sense I suppose because doesn't Headset mode start bluetooth up when a call is received (presuming it is off)?
Looked at Buzz's reg hack for Bluetooth but didn't really understand it
Here's what didn't fixed it for me.
After more reading today I realize I was way wrong.
Re: Here's what fixed it for me.
I can confirm that these registry settings work perfectly on the blueangel Great job.
in the past week i've found trhe sound in the music player will randomly stop working. the track keeps playing via the movement bar but there's no sound. i've checked the volume and this isnt a problem and there's no sound in coreplayer either when this happens.
the headphones are fine because unplugging them doenst bring the sound on either (via the speaker). the only way to get it working is to reset. it's strnage ebcause sometimes it goes for ages without a prob, soemtimes it happens after 5 minutes...
anyone got any ideas? I'm fairly certain it's a software issue as unplugging the headphone jack makes a noise
ok still dpont know the solution but i just left my phone alone for 30mins after it last stopped making sound and now it's making sound again (without resetting). is it a memory problem??
backup, hardreset, restore. it's the only way to be sure.
Hope you didn't do a hard reset yet as the post above me urged. Like you said once the TF3D mp3 player stops playing (the sound) coreplayer doesn't work either. Now, i'm guessing WM player doesn't work either, but oddly the radio does? One more question, are you running Gyrrator in the background? Let me know and i'll try and help you out promptly.

I'm having the same problem with the sound.
Yes, the radio works, but nothing else, after unplugging the headphones it takes a while for the headphone icon to disappear and when plugged in it takes it longer than usual to appear. Doesnt fix the sound though. I have Gyrator 2 on auto start but i usually close it. At the time of the sound's disappearing it was off.
Mine only does it after i've answered a call through the headset, after the call is finished, the song continues playing and after a while or when the next song comes up, the sound disappears and can only be fixed through a soft reset.
Also mine refuses to display the embedded album art for every song, just chooses one and goes with that cover. And there used to be more covers behing the one running, but now it's just the one.
Hope someone can help me with any of this.
Thanks.

yep spot on, gyrattor 2 is running in the bakground and i havent hard reset. havent actually tried using WMplayer or the radio as i dont use those functions but I'd also assume they prob wont work either
Ok, not guareenting anything, but this might/should fix it. I'm guessing you did this through Gyrrator (though u could have prolly done it via windows too somehow, but my money on Gyrrator). What's prolly happening is that in Gyrrator you have it set to "Suspend Device" for one of the events (to turn off the screen). Instead change this to "Turn Screen Off." Suspending the device causes u to loose sound in most apps (radio still works fine). When you hit the power button, this only turns the screen off and does not actually suspend the device while you're playing music. Let me know if it worked.
good luck
looked thropugh my events which are all the default ones and nothing was set to suspend
could it be something is S2U2? theres an option there which is worded "Dont suspend power" and mine is set to off. Do i need tio change it? (damn double negatives)
My Gyrator had a suspend device event, removed it and we'll see how it goes.

yes, sounds like a double negative to me, so switch that to "on" so it won't suspend power. Let us know if it worked.

Nope, didn't.
Had the same problem today. Only happens after i receive a call via the headset.
Sound is completely stopped working!
The sound on my THD has completely stopped working. I've only had it for a few days, and suddenly when I was working on it, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It doesnt work in WMP, Coreplayer, the radio or the built in touchflo3dplayer. It does, however, work when I plug in the headset, but still no sound in the speakers though. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, and it doesn't even make a sound in the beginning when HTC logo comes on.
Any ideas about what's wrong, or do I just send it back for support?
i also got a problem with sounds, sometimes when i use youtubeclient, my sound stops working, and just the occasional tac in sound, then i have to reset my HD te get sound again, ive done 3 hard resets, and it even happenend when i booted youtube right after hard reset was done... does somebody know the problem?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. It was perfectly fine till I received an SMS and everything after that, sound from the loud speaker does not work
Same issue here. The problem is caused by S2U2. The audio driver crashes everytime S2U2 locked the phone while there is a high usage of audio (e.g. by the TF3D MP3player). With S2U2 disabled everything stays normal.
I guess it has something to do with the new 1.40 version of S2U2. I just posted a request into the S2U2 thread.
I got the problem, too.
Thanks you found the reason for this sound-problem.
I hope S2U2 will fix this in next version.

I hope so too because there is no workaround. you cannot define the player as an exception because it is part of manila :-(
I also can confirm the problem with S2U2!
It also happen when you use the udio player. Once S2U2 locks the device the audio freezes.
Hi,
I have this same problem too, but haven't got S2U2 installed. I have found out what causes the problem. It only happens when I use the headset that came with the phone. When the button on the microphone to pick up a call is pressed for a longer time, the sound stops, while the mp3 (or other file) keeps on playing.
So that's the way to get the problem to appear... now a solution to make it go away. And not the answer, don't use that headset...
Up till now the only way I have found to make the sound come back is to do a soft-reset.
Is there by any change an already excisting application that could predifine volume settings when the headset is connect/disconnected. Or even better, a code monkey who is willing to give this idea a go and create it from scratch.
My Diamond Volume is set to max when the headset is unplugged.
But when I Connect it, I've to readjust both Ring Volume & System volume, for its simply to loud and painfull to the ears.
Its not that I'm lazy and not willing to adjust the volume manually, its then when I happen to forget it (and that happens quite often) The Volume of an incomming call can be quite painfull to the ears let alone give me a hart attack. Not the kind of thing I like to see happen while I'm driving my car.
I've searched and ran in to alot of dead ends, so if any one have some suggestions to offer I'm all "Ears"
I guess MortScript can be used here, but you would need to start it manually anyway. I dunno if MortScript allow to write scripts whcih would hang in the memory, probably some loops and it can be set to check required parametrs all the time. However it's not the direct solution. It needs to be a programm, rather simple: it hanging in the memory and checks if headset is plugged in (or if it can't be doen directly then checking specific registry value). When headset in programm change sound values. Too bad I'm not a programmer
Well, I tried to use mortscript for it
(see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3303572&postcount=1235) , but I didn't check my script, I just tried to change registry entries and see if it affects volume. Unfortunatly it's not (and I just recently read somewhere that sound changes doesn't work this way). Just changing registry values doesn't help, somehow it works directly when you puch buttons. I dunno if it;s possible to emulate this buttons in a script.
I'd realyl like to see solution myself, I just noticed that I was always changing volume for music but not for phone. My luck none called me while I was listen to music .

I recall seeing such a feature with phonealarm (commercial thought)....
Hi,
I´ve been having this problem for about 2 days. While mp3 playback, device wont go to sleep when I press power button. I have to pause/stop playback to do so. I dont know why. I havent installed anything before this. I´m using standard player provided by HTC.
This may not sound like a serious problem, but it kills battery real fast while its on. Is anyone having the same problem? Thanks for any answer.
is this without the headphones?
try this its a great lil programe allows soft reset also has a secondary feature called display switch, witch basically turns the screen off but not the phone. i always have this installed on every device ive ever owned.
Ditto - same issue. Its a bug.
The problem occurs when the device is in headset mode - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482027
No solution available AFAIK. Report it to HTC and the more of us that do it might get a hot fix! Cheers
