Is there a way so when bluetooth is switched on the phone's visibility is also switched on rather than going through the menus to do this?

Providing that you have selected tthe phone as visible before switching off bluetooth its should automatically stay on wheny you switch it back on. Its worked for me on both the hermes and niki
yeah i figured it does work when i switch bluetooth on from the comm manager

Have you installed Bluetooth Tools?
Not sure if that's even necessary or not, but certainly that software by very nature, does this so that incoming calls can be passed to Bluetooth headsets.
This can be altered, if you are using Bluetooth Tools, by enabling this item on the today screen, and turning OFF timed bluetooth mode.
If you are not using this, then I am not sure...
Yes, I do use Bluetooth tools.
I use it mainly for my GPS BT Receiver.
I will play with its options, and see if this can solved this.

Not solve mate - it's the whole intention of the software you installed.
Simply enable the Bluetooth Tools plugin on your today screen.
Then you will see a little clock icon.
Tap on this so it goes grey.
This means you just turned OFF the timed bluetooth option.
But mate, it ISN'T a bug, and is the very purpose of Bluetooth Tools for most people.
To get it to activate Bluetooth ONLY when a call comes in, so as to enable the headset.
Instead of PERMANENTLY having to leave BT on, and thus flatten the battery.
i'm pretty sure mine does it when i make the clock grey aswell

Rudegar,
If you grey out the clock, you turn OFF the timed element of Bluetooth.
It will then depend on whether you have Bluetooth ON, or Bluetooth OFF as to what happens then...
All the clock does, AFAIK, is enable or disable timed bluetooth...?
Yep.. guess you right. It's working so good with the BT GPS receiver, I'll just sit and enjoy, and let it work for 60 seconds, each call I make.
Even when I turn the clock grey it still comes on !
OK I can live with the 60secs business, it'll save battery life.
But what is the purpose of the 2 battery indicators 1&2 ?? Can't seem to suss that out ?

They are two different Profiles as it were.
It means you can configure settings as you prefer for one device/gps/headset, and then click icon 2 and set another lot, for a different device, then quickly change easily.
That info is from the Bluetooth Tools site, where it is all mentioned.
I don't wish to sound too rude, but it would be helpful if people seeking support would try reading the site where they download stuff from, or the original author's site, first...
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
thanks for the help mate and thanks for telling me what it already says on that site.
My question is really how to configure those two settings ? I can't work out how I can set different settings for profile 2 nor how I can change 1 ?

Well, it's dead simple (actually, was too simple for me to understand until someone pointed it out to me...): you tap on '1', so that it gets the little grey box around it. Then you use the normal settings dialogs of the PPC to configure things like backlight timeout, brightness etc. Then go back to the Today screen, tap on '2', and again configure your PPC. Now, each time you tap '1' or '2', the set of settings will be restored. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a list of which settings are actually subject to that toggle. I know that the backlight timing is, because that's what I use it for: while TomTom is running, I don't want the backlight to go out, so while '2' was actibe, I configured the backlight accordingly. Now '1' is my normal mode, and '2' is the "navigation" mode.

Greetings,
I have a HTC XV6800. Recently I got the GPS to work which is just freaking awesome. I have the HTC Comm Manager and I noticed that the GPS will not work without my bluetooth running. The question I have is, is it possible tomake a button in the Comm manager to turn the GPS on/off while remaining the Bluetooth on/off and visa versa? If you turn the GPS on it turns the bluetooth on since it needs to be used and when you turn it off it turns off the bluetooth. It would have to remember conditions. Is that possible?
Thanks,
mmmm I'm not sure I got your request right.
I think you have an internal gps right ? but you say it can't start without BT ? That's weird !!
Yeah isn't it? So like here are the conditions with Comm Manager added
Flight Mode - On/Off
Phone Mode - On/Off
WLAN - On/Off
Microsoft Direct Push - On/Off
Data Connection - On/Off
Ringer/Vibrate
Internet Sharing - On/Off
ActiveSynce - On/Off
Beam - On/Off
GPS - On/Off (Conditional see below)
Bluetooth - On/Off (Conditional see below)
1. On if turned on by user
2. On if GPS turned on
3. Off if turned off by user
4. Off it turned on by GPS
5. Can not be shut off by user if GPS was started by user.
Get it or is it still confusing?
Actually, it might be very very useful. I mean, considering an internal GPS usually works without any relation to BT... if there's a way to have a buttom to turn it on/off it can save battery... unless there's some kind of mechanism i'm not familiar with which already does that.

Thanks for the support. Now I am not a coder or developer but would someone like to take this on? I think it should be pretty easy. I would imagine you would just have to disect the comm manager and localize the GPS.
just FYI, on other devices with internal gps I've seen, it's turned on/off automatically via the gps software, and there is no entry for GPS in the comm manager..
hello every 1. I have a BA running windows mob 6.1 pro and everything is working fine except t e fact that when i put the device on standby, it is always turning itself on again. does this happen to anyone? thanks

which ROM do you have?
Do you happen to have BigMike bluetooth running?
standy..you mean you press the power button and the screen goes off, right? And then it turns on by itself? Did you check if your bluetooth is on? Because I experienced this too before, if I left the bluetooth on and I turn off (stand by) the BA after a while it will turn on itself. Hope this helps. Cheers.
Try going through your power management under settings.
You might have tick a few things there.
I was getting this trouble too!
As Resident evil... on nights my device wakes up and begins screaming STARS!!!!
I just call Claire redfield and Alice and they burn on its head! PUMMM!
jajajaj
Well... check out your settings if you have a program runing under... and it needs conections via BT, Wi-fi or GPRS... your device gonna wakes up trying to get conection all the ways it can... if nothing is runing behind maybe was a bad flash... reflash it...
Hope all we can help you...
We are like a squadron supporting forces... Huh im playing too much Acecombat 5....
It could either be Bluetooth running and also it could be some appointment/message turning your device on. Also, do you have your device cradled? ActiveSync (if connected to PC) will turn your device on to sync.
Hope this helps

It's exaclty that. I read somewhere it has something to do with the bluetooth stack, I turned off BT and it stopped lol However I need BT always on as I use an external sirf star 3 gps and I pair up the mobile phone with my car. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Tks

There is no fix. Since WM5, the BT driver requires that it be turned on periodically or else it turns itself off. All ROM cookers (AFAIK) use the big mike fix driver to keep the BT alive.

I read somewhere that if you installed another BT stack that eventually it would solve the problem? Is this true?
ok there is fix but i do not advice you to use it if you use BT handsfree - because with original driver BT turns off when device get in standby and this one keeps it working
you can install S2U2 and set:
Lock when device wakes up: ON
Power Off in: 5s (this is the minimum).
this is not a solution, but more like a workaround...this works for me well...
Hi all. I have seen many bluetooth toggle solutions and many of them work great. But I am looking for a simple solution to turn BT on, not to toggle it. This is why. I use profiles in Inesoft Phone a lot. But their BT on and off do not work due to the TP2 not using the WM stack. So say I am switching from one profile where BT is on to another where BT should stay on. Toggle does me no good because it will sometimes turn BT off when I really wanted it to stay on. There is a native app on my Tilt 2 in \Windows called TurnBTOff.exe. But there is not one to turn it on. I must have 5 different BT toggles on my phone but nothing to turn on only.
Any ideas for a TurnBTOn app? I am hoping for the typical small footprint cab utility and not another install of an app that does 20 other things besides BT on. I have found some 'on only' cabs, but not for the widcomm stack we have.
try this out. i am downloading it right now myself. it looks like it creates an actual exe shortcut that you can assign to your softkeys or certain hardware buttons to turn BT on and off. i know you mentioned you only need it to turn ON but having both might be good too...
Thanks for the info. But it looks like all of those are toggles, not an "on-only" BT exe. So I don't think it will solve my issue posted above.
Great fix for CHT 1.8 Bluetooth Issue
Thanks for the link! Installed that simple program, and now the Bluetooth toggle switch on my Cookie Home Tab works great on my TP2/Tilt2.
I flashed HD2O 1.23b1 ROM to my HD2. Almost everything is perfect (or at least has workaround) except bluetooth. I cannot turn it on. Actually when I turned it on, it will turn itself off automatically after few seconds.
Bluetooth is must-have feature for me coz I leverage it to use my phone in car. Can anybody with the same ROM has the similar issue? How to fix it? Any workaround?
After searching the forum I found a workaround for this.
Turn on Wi-Fi
Turn off Bluetooth
Reboot the phone
Now I can turn on Bluetooth.
However after while, I found its Bluetooth will turn off again automatically.
I don't have a chance to test the CAB mentioned in the following thread on this ROM yet. (Actually I cannot download it from office network.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250869
Hopefully they could fix the issue.
Similar behaviour to me...
But I discovered that if I charge my HD2 (when I'm in the car) then the bluetooth is not turning off automatically any more...and I can use it.

Really? How about Wi-Fi? Do you need to enable Wi-Fi to turn on Bluetooth?
If it works, at least we have a workaround before 1.23 final version released.
I just realized that I cannot send CAB to HD2O ROM. Pathetic~

Yes, wi-fi should be ON in any case...if you want BT working.

I tested the solution. It works! Thanks you so much! At least we had a workaround. Hopefully HD2O could fix the bug in the next release.
