Hi,
Has anyone noticed that when battery is low, device automatically turns off Bluetooth? It happened two times to me and each time I had to go to the COMM Manager and check the Bluetooth icon on again
Cheers,
John

I use a BT GPS receiver with my XDA II using MS BT stack. When I switch the XDA off and switch it back on I have to turn bluetooth back on and reconnect with the GPS receiver. Is there any way of keeping bluetooth on when you go into standby mode?
cant you just stop the xda from going standby ?
i mean most of those car gps thingys have power for the xda dont they ?
I won't be in a car. Walking around a city for a couple of hours - I'm going to drain the battaries too quickly.
Mine don't do that, it kept bluetooth on when I turn my XDA II off. I have a program in addition called Bluetooth Tools that automatically turn my BT off after a few seconds and turns on when I receive and make a call. I can also turn off the timer so the bluetooth stays on.
I use BTW-CE and I have the same problem. Before reinstalling this application everything was ok.
A half solution I've figured out is to create a shortcut to the bluetooth settings page - a lot of the time I can't acccess the bluetooth icon on the today screen because the input/keyboard bar is covering it (might have something to do with Fitaly). Anyway if you copy the following into a shortcut file i.e. Bluetooth.lnk:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
you can then assign it to a hardware button
I've tried Bluetooth Tools, while it does give you a handy bluetooth icon in the middle of the today screen it doesn't stop my bluetooth from turning off in standby mode.
@markh
are you using the widcomm bt stack?
No, the microsoft one
Will this only turn on/off Bluetooth with an incoming call?
I want it to turn on/off Bluetooth for any situation when I stop/start something that needs it.
For example if BT is off, and I start ActiveSync on the XDA, BT starts automatically. But when I close AS, BT stays on.
I was hoping something like DKToday would help with this, but it only seems to work for calls.
tap the bluetooth icon and it turns bluetooth of, at least it does for me.
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?
Hi
I have written a mortscript which automatically switches the audio on my O2 Orbit (WM6) to my bluetooth car kit when it detects it, it then plays a sound to confirm that the sound has switched over - it also start TT if power is detected. When it looses the bluetooth connection sound is returned to the handset and a "disconnected" wav is played. Now this works fine as long as the device is awake but not when in standby. So I would like to find a way of waking the device up when it first gets a bluetooth connection and then again when it looses it. I have looked at adding something to the notification queue using memmaid but I can't see any bluetooth actions there.
Can anyone help me??
anyone?????????????
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.
