Bluetooth Shuts Itself Off

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

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.

Answering calls when open and Speakerphone mic volume

Hi,
Is there anything that can be done to improve the mic volume when on speaker phone - I have had complaints when more than a foot or so away that people can't hear me.
I have the phone open on my desk most of the time and am just trying to work out the best way to deal with calls as they come in. At the moment unplugging the USB and then flipping the screen and then trying to answer the call seems a bit ham fisted and I keep on loosing calls

I personally never use my MDA Pro as a conventional phone. I find it too bulky. My own method is to always use a bluetooth headset.
If I was in your situation, I would have the Universal open on my desk, with the bluetooth headset lying beside it. When the phone rings, simply put on the bluetooth headset,press the call receive button on it, and away you go.

You don't really need to flip the screen, just close it and then use the green button to answer the call. Will work fine with the USB connected if you don't mind people looking at you strangely.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
I don't have a headset so haven't gone down that route yet. Will they work with Skype and VOIP software etc on the phone?
As for closing and then picking up, I'm wondering if the phone has a problem because I have tried this a couple of times and have lost the calls although I am generally unplugging the USB, closing the phone and then answering - have only had the phone a couple of days so still getting the hang of it.

Hmmm....can it be used when in pda mode to answer and make calls... I have tried this, but I think either my machine's mic & speakers dont work on the inside (screen side) of the clamshell, the other person on the line can't hear, and I hear their voice (distantly), which means it is coming out of the back of the screen, not the front. Its either that or the device just isnt designed to work in this orientation.
Has anyone else tried recieving or making calls with the screen facing out in portrait mode?
Re the Bluetooth headset answering method, great idea, I do this, but I have found that sometimes my o2 blue headset loses the pairing when I press the answer call button, so I lose the call anyway.
Can anyone tell us how it should work, will the recent rom upgrade fix this, is there even a mic and speaker on the inside lid?

The Mic is right next to the power button, so it is as close to your mouth when in PDA mode or closed. Also There are two speakers on the hinged lid, in PDA mode it's the slightly recessed oval shape 10mm from the top dead centre.
I've never discovered a software method of disabling this speaker. Possibly a hardware fault? Might be worth discussing with your handset provider

standby when ending call via BT-headset

Hello there,
has anyone an idea how to realize this:
blackstone is in standby - bluetooth is activated - bluetooth headset is on - both connected - call comes in - I take the call with the bt-headset - talk - I end the call with the bt-headset - blackstone remains on until the adjusted time for standby is reached
but I would like the blackstone switch into standby mode immediately after ending the call
is this possible ?

This needs addressed - sleep after a call during headset mode
In headset mode the phone does not go into sleep mode or power off automatically after a call. This is a major issue for those of us who leave the phone in the pocket in the car or when using bluetooth headsets. I have finished calls recently and then 5 or 10 mins later my phone would connect to someone random in the phonebook whilst driving which is quite embarrassing "I didnt call you" - "yes you did"!!
In the meantime I am using constant device lock but this is a clumsy solution for what surely MUST be a common problem. Can anyone else not help us out and try to get the device to sleep after a call during headset mode? I would be so grateful for a useful solution that doesnt involve a constant device lock that I dont really need!
Cheers

I'm having the same problem also....

The list grows - surely there must be others out there with the same problem. We should try and get out heads together to crack this one!

Sounds good man, keep up posted. Its a major issue for me too!

ok folks .. here is the very annoying answer i got from htc support
You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your HTC Touch HD. There is only one way to instantly set the device into standby mode: please press quickly the power on/off.
what shall i say ... THAT'S CRAP !!!
and i'm still thinking that there must be a workaround ... redefining the buttons or something like that ... any ideas from the specialists in here ?
c'mon guys - help us out here

that's really strange...just tested it.
connection htc/jabra bluetooth.
htc device lock ON.
an incoming call arrives, pick up the call via bt-headset. end the call via bt-headset. phone is immediately locked again (htc own device lock), display is on. after 1 minute also the display turns off.
or do you mean something completely different?

Same here and it feels retarted.
Ooe of the major purposes of a bluetooth headset is to avoid contact with the device. So having to take out the phone or handle it (in a car/office whatever) after a BT call is rediculous.

BT headset drops call
I am not sure if I should pose my questions here but my Jabra BT headset is connected to my Blackstone on standby mode via BT. However, when an incoming call comes, the BT headset does not get the call but is transfered to the HTC handset instead. I have no problems making outgoing calls on the Jabra headset. It's frustrating when I am driving... could anyone tell me how to remedy this?
Thanks in advance.

end call via BT into standby works with LockMeLite
hello there,
with LockMeLite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478606 and my samsung wep250 bt-headset

I have tried flashing newer fancy roms and tried various lockers but no applications are intuitive enough to fix this simple fault. When making a call in 'headset mode' the fast sleep mode prevents accidental presses during a call. Unfortunately when the call is ended via handsfree/car kit/recipient, the phone wakes back up to life.
Any locker I have used is active indiscriminantly when pressing the power on button to wake the device from sleep. I have tried lockmelite, hd tweak for inbuilt MS lock, pocketshield and another locker however none have the function to only lock the device whilst in headset mode and after a call has ended. This is a request to developers, expert cooks and modifiers please can anyone help us out?
Thanks a million

Check this, it can do the trick...

S2u2 V2.04 workes fineas you needs, even look during a call (gives black screen)

I'll do a try
As I have the same request/problem I'll try the following with the help of AGEProfile.
- I create a profile actived when the headphone is connected, when this profile is activated it launches a program named MySuspend so my phone is suspended.
- I create another profile activated when the headphone is connected and there is a call in progress, this profile does nothing but it exists (only)
So when my phone goes connected with the headset (BT) it goes suspended.
When I receive a call it wakeup as normal and the profile is switched to the second one (but does nothing)
When the call finishes, the first profile is activated again and the phone goes suspended.
That's all (and it should work, I just made the setup for that).
Regards,
P.S. sorry for my english because it's not my language.

I also have this same question. After ending the call the screen stays unlocked and will inadvertently call a number sometimes.

I tried
Yes I made a try yesterday evening in real conditions and it work very well
So I'm very happy
I forgot to mention that I also use the Inesoft to have the screen locked when one call come in.
Hope this will be useful for you too
Regards,

Topaz + BT hands free (Sony MEX-BT2500)

Hi there,
Can anyone help me solve this problem:
Ik have a Sony car radio with a BT hands free function (MEX-BT2500) in my car. When I make a call, the radio stops and I can speak hands free, hearing the conversation on the car-speakers. All nice, like it should be.
Problem is when I receive a call. The radio stops and I hear a ringtone (not my phone-tone though ). When I awnser the call, the caller can hear me, but I can't hear him, unless I take the phone in my hand and put it on my ear. The sound doesn't come through the car-speakers. So an incoming call can't be awnsered handsfree.
With my former phone (nokia 6230), it was no problem. Anyone knows how to solve this?

If it was the same as my problem, turn up the volume on the phone
My phone was the exact same, for some reason when it connected it was turning the volume right down!
Hope yours as as simple

Unfortunately my problem is not that simple. I got an incoming call yesterday when I was driving, but again no sound. When I called back, there were no problems. Does anyone else have a solution?

Well, I don't have the Sony-stereo, but I've got a Pioneer with BT. I have bumped into several issues with it, and the solution is the same every time:
-first, if you have a settings-option called something like "reset BT-memory", try that one, and pair phone again.
-If that doesn't work, next step is full reset of the stereo, meaning you pull it out and disconnect the power. Then plug it back in, and re-pair phone.
This at least did the trick for me, now voice-dial works perfectly, and I even have "BT Audio", meaning I can play my Topaz' music on my carstereo without hassle.

Could also be something else simple, you are using the stereo to answer and not the handset?
If I answer using the phone with my stereo then I get the same issue as you, answer using the stereo and all is well

bluetooth handfree issue

I use a BT handfree, but sometimes I may want to answer a call using the phone itself.
If I slide to answer, I don't expect the phone to transfer the call to my handfree. It has been working in this way for all the phones I used previously
However, N1 will still transfer the call to my handfree in this situation....Any solution? (other than pressing the bluetooth soft button on screen)

That was what I was going to suggest. One additional button-press doesn't strike me as terribly burdensome.
Anyhow, the way it works makes sense to me. If I have a bluetooth headset stuck in my ear, chances are I'm going to want to use it for the call, even if I answered the call using the slide just because I picked up the phone to see who was calling and slid to answer while I had the phone in hand rather than using the button on the bluetooth device.

I Have been driven nuts by this for ages, to me the nexus one does it right.
My car handsfree answers after 4 rings, if I really didn't want to miss the call I'd press on the phone to answer, only then to panic when I couldn't hear them and then have to use speakerphone and turn off the radio manually and then have a really difficult conversation.
now, if the handsfree is connected it's always used.... I think there is a privacy function (that's what it's called on some other phones anyway) which will switch the call to the handset.

lol i don't know what you guys are smoking.... but it is up to personal preference i guess.
It would be better if we have an option for that so everyone will be happy
