Is there any way of defaulting the bluetooth settings so that when I switch bluetooth on it automatically switches on in visible mode ?
One click Bluetooth discoverable
This is agood way to quickly toggle bluetooth to discoverable...
put this exe file onto device and then create a shortcut to programs menu.
Now map your long press send key to this shortcut (bluetooth toggle).
You can now turn your BT on with one click
and here is another one

BTW Get a '?' next to the Bluetooth item the Qstarz BT-Q880 GPS... but it defo works on my PC.
Found this... http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/ - Going to give it a go...
Please download the latest version from the download area and install it. Just execute the installer. Afterwards you will find a new line for the power management on the today screen. Next time when you bond a Bluetooth device there will be an additional dialog after entering the pin and confirming the device name. Therefore you should first remove your device again if you bonded them already.
The "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.
The two battery icons on the right side let you switch between two profiles for auto power off of the PDA and the back light. For example you may switch to the second mode and adjust the settings to "always on" and "never switch back light off". Thereby you can switch the PDA with one simple to "always on" when you are in your car and want to use GPS navigation.
The profiles
Add your Bluetooth device as usual. You will get now a new dialog after the last step:
Please note that currently only the following profiles are available
Headset/Car kit Serial port ActiveSync Modem
Headset/Car kit
With this profile you may use your headset or car kit to make phone calls. Both headsets (headset profile) and car kits (handsfree profile) are supported and you may use up to 9 devices.
Bluetooth is switched on automatically on incoming calls. However it take some seconds until the connection to the headset/car kit is established. If you leave Bluetooth always on there is no delay.
The call is passed always to the device where you take the call. This means if you answer with the PDA button then the built-in speaker is used. If you used the headset button the call will be passed to the corresponding headset.
To pass the call from the PDA to the headset or from one headset to another just press button of the corresponding headset.
To hang up just press the button on the currently active headset or use the PDA button.
Obviously you can only dial via headset if you leave Bluetooth always on. The button on the headset acts like the phone button on the PDA. This means pressing it the first time switch the PDA on (if powered off) and switches to the phone application. Pressing the button again dials the last number.
Serial port
With the serial port profile you can use a device, which emulates a serial port, like a GPS receiver for example. After marking the checkbox you can select the desired port. Just click on OK and now your serial port is ready to use. Just start your application and choose the same port.
ActiveSync
Just mark the checkbox below ActiveSync and click on OK. Now start ActiveSync from the Start menu. There is now a new entry in the menu of ActiveSync to use the Bluetooth connection. Naturally this connection uses data encryption to protect your data.
Note: To use the ActiveSync connection you must identify the virtual port on your PC and configure ActiveSync accordingly.
Modem
I could not try this function because I don't have a Bluetooth modem but it should work without any problems. Just mark the checkbox and click on OK. Now your modem is ready to use.

You probably need GPS software that is compatible with Windows Mobile 5. However, most of them are not entirely updated to support WM5 just yet. I hear some people have gotten Navigon to work, and TomTom with a huge workaround. Destinator PN5 doesn't see the COM ports. iGuidance 2.1.3 works beautifully except for the map-loader not working through ActiveSync 4.x.

Thanks - seen it...
Followed
STEP 4 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 6 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 6 free. Select COM 6 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM (none)
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 6.
7. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
Manged to see the com port in Tomtom but would not get it to see the GPS.... I'm still wondering becuse of the ? next to the item under the BT Control pannel...... I'm wondering if for some reason it does not recognise this as a GPS and is refusing to talk to it.
That been said it does have serial profile and connects ok...

it is a bit strange? but officialy TomTom is not mobile 5 ready.

tomtom doesn't need bt to be enabled on the pda, and if you forget this, (like i used to) other programs wont work if bt is not enabled on the pda

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 ?
Hi everyone,
Just notice the File explorer is unable to send file through bluetooth.....there is no option to select at all, no matter with bluetooth turn on or turn off.
Is this just me or......
look for a Bluetooth Explorer CAB
or use VP3G's WM6
beam sends via bluetooth if everything is on. discoverable n all. searching turns into device so n so then bluetooth beam me up.
confusing but true
hur...... why Microsoft just always miss something in >.<
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..
what's the point of enabling bluetooth in comm manager if it always in invisible mode and thus the need for using WM menu everytime I want to transfer/receive files.
any solution?

by invisible, do you mean not discoverable?
If so, discovery is only applicable when you try to pair a new BT device. Once your bluetooth device is paired with your Xperia, the device will still connected even if your Xperia is set as not discoverable.
