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...

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.

Anyone got TomTom working with BT GPS with Phone OFF?

As the title says. I have got TomTom 5.21 running fine on my Exec, but it will only connect to my BT GPS device when the phone radio is switched on. If you go to GPS Status it says "No GPS Device (Flight Mode)" as if Flight Mode in some way explains why the BT connection can't be made and I am stupid for even trying!
So has anybody got this to work with the phone radio switched off?

Whatcha Melty. Not for Universal, but the principle is the same: flight mode disables the phone+bluetooth. However, you want to disable the phone radio only, but leave bluetooth enabled. That requires a reg mod or a third party app.
Have you read this thread?

Hi Vijay,
I hadn't seen that thread. Thanks! I will try out some of the stuff and if I decide it would be better with an app, I'll knock one up. It'll just be a wrapper for TomTom that just forces flight mode off and then starts TomTom. I could run it instead of the normal TomTom app. Mind you, if I'm going to use my Exce as a phone then I might ot bother!
I've used the TAPI lib on the XDA2 to force flight mode off etc for a program for work, so it's not exactly difficult, but I just wondered if I was missing a simple setting somewhere.

i dunno.... looks to me like it's tomtom at fault here.
the wireless manager on my exec is happy to let me switch on bluetooth only, but switch off phone and wireless. it's just that tomtom sees phone off and assumes the worst
it only seems to check on startup though, so for a low-tech workaround you could always leave your phone on, startup tomtom and let it connect to your GPS, then switch back to wireless manager and switch off your phone.
once the connection is established, tomtom doesn't check again, and the WM wireless manager keeps the bluetooth connection up while turning off the phone

That actually makes perfect sense dalelane (although it means TomTom coders are mad). Thanks! :wink:

Bluetooth Manager.

There is this program here called Pocket Bluetooth:
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/
Which is not working very well in my 9100, and actually stopped working entirely.
What it promises:
1. One click enabling and disabling bluetooth
2. Shutting down BT after 60secs of inactivity.
3. Setting the screen light permanently on i.e in the case of a GPS set.
...things very much needed.
Does anybody know of another program that does that?
Thanks

No one?

Cicle BT does one click enabling and disabling of BT
http://www.winmobileapps.com/Home.aspx
Its freeware too.
Works for me U can put it in the tray useing PHM traylaunch
Or map it to one of the hardware buttons 8)

Thanks meschle,
It lacks though 2 main functions for me.
1. Disable BT after 60sec of inactivity and,
2. Screen light toggle, to permanent on, or normal when BT is active.

I contacted the developer of the Pocket Bluetooth Tools, but got no reply for a week now, nobody knows anything?

No one ?

How to avoid swich off when using GPS?

Hi guys!
I started GarminXT, wait for it to fix, start traveling ... and when I arrive at my destination I take the Touch HD out of my pocket and see it has recorded just the beggining... it switched off so I dont see the travel data. How can I make the device to not go to sleep while using GarminXT ?

GPS works also in suspended mode. Try something else than GarminXT

settings -> energy settings -> while battery using don't switch off the hd

^ but it will never switch off the HD...I have to do it manually.
I also have same problem.
I want this automatic thing...but it should not switch off while Garmin XT is on...
I think its the problem of Garmin XT.

then use previous version 5.010.

With the previous version also the same problem.
Does anybody find another solution as changing the energy settings as I suggested?

This is not a solution, but another workaround.
I usually set my PPC not to turn off after x minutes of inactivity if its plugged into the power source.
And I will leave the automatic turn off under the battery power.
Whenever its in my car and I use the navigation software, I just plug in the car charger. That way, it charges the PPC and the navigation software continues to work and the PPC will not go off.

Bluetooth On and Off, NOT Toggle

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.
