I have read the fairly expansive discussion on the matter of bluetooth, and so I will attempt to avoid repeating well documented problems with the built in bluetooth interface.
Who would have thought that Microsoft would write buggy, incomplete and incompatable software!! !!
I have been experimenting with the bluetooth toolkit as found on website - http://bluetooth.i-networx.de. Firstly one must pay respect to anybody who attempts to correct the horrendous built in functions.
However, has anybody else noted the problem with the XDA II no longer switching itself off after a function (ie text message etc). Now the functionality of the tools make it still preferable to not having them, though it must be said the already spurious battery life of the XDA II is taking a real beating - particularly if you receive a text messagae when you are not near your phone.
The problem must be related to the code within the toolkit that allows twin power settings, as this somehow seems to be defaulting to always on, despite the settings shown on the device.
Help!!
Cheers
James
PS - I must say, this is probably one of the most useful forums on the web. If I am asking a question that has already been discussed, shoot me then point out where it is.
Ta!
You're not the only one with this problem, and it has been discussed at length, but I'm not going to shoot you (mainly because I don't have time to trawl through all the past threads to find examples ).
We're all waiting patiently for Tobias to fix this bug and release a new version, but it's all gone very quiet...
you get what you pay for
ms dident invent bluetooth
ms as a rule dont make too good implementations of
features they dident invent and hand them to you for free
too bad HTC dident put on a probber bluetooth stack
I had to uninstall bluetooth tools because of this problem, i found my phone swittching on in my pocket and there were quite a few occasions where i managed to make calls with the phone in my pocket whilst walking downt he street without even knowing that i had made them, it was a real pain not being able to get the phone to stay turned off
I had the same problem, and also of bluetooth not switching off when the little white circle turns gray. I have however found when I edit the register settings for PBT, to shorten the time to 10 seconds, it works perfectly and reliably, and goes off by itself.
The right key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PBT
Change AutoOff to a smaller number e.g. 10000 (which is 10 seconds). It now works like a charm.
Try it out and let me know if it is a general solution.
Surur
Thanks for the comments guys,
I suspected I wasn't the first to have this prob.
Hard to be too dissapointed Tobias though, as even with the bug, he still did a better job than MS managed!!
Thanks for the registry alteration. I will make it and let you know after a trial period of a week.

registry editor
Hi guys,
Can't find a registry editor except the PHM one, and can't make that one install
Help!!?!
No switch off
G'day all,
newby, I have a similar problem with myImate & O2 genuine BT head set. After some excellent assistance from Mtekk people it finally worked but has on occasions been left "open" and callers privy to my conversations. Good thing I am a good boy :>
I changed mine to what was suggested on the registry and the result is what expected. It turns off. Thanks for the suggestion.
Another problem I found with the 60 second auto bluetooth shutoff is that I can't answer a call from my headset bluetooth even after the bluetooth turned on automatically.
But it seems like it's working with the 10 second settings. Thanks again for the suggestion. Now I can save more battery life with bluetooth on.
another problem
my device is Qtek 2020 and i upgraded the rom version to iMate 1.72 successfuly
i use your program blue tooth tools with the headset HBH-35 and it works great except one problem. with the program
during a phone call with my (Qtek 2020 upgraded to iMate 1.72 rom)
when there is another incoming call waiting in case i chose to ignor it or of i don't do any thing when the call is transfers to the answering machine, the primary phone call continues but i cant hear the other person and he cant hear me so i press the hold button and then the resume button and then i can hear him again.
when i uninstalled the bluetooth tools program every thing worked good again
can you please fix the program so i can continue using it
bye bye
i.e. please reply to this e-mail
I guess I spoked too soon.
It was working great, until I turn on the auto shutdown of the bluetooth. When I make a call and decide to turn off the phone during a call, the bluetooth turns off too. This only happens if I have the timer on, if the timer is off, then I can turn my pda off during a call.
The call waiting thing
Hi K_blal,
I had the same problem. To be honest, I don't like call waiting, as generally, if I am on the phone I don't want to be disturbed anyway!
You can switch the call waiting off in the Phone settings (under SIM card services)
After this, no more irritating call waiting issues!!
I know it isn't necessarily a solution, but it will suffice until we get an update from the guys who wrote the software.
PS - Might not hurt to give a donation to the people who wrote it, it may incentivise them to continue supplying top software!! Without them, my hands free kit would be a lump of useless plastic!!
Cheers

Hello everyone, i had have this happend to me twice and i dont know what it is. When im on a call my phone hangs up at a certain time between 5 -10 min during the call. And what it does is it hangs up and loses the signal and thake a min to find it. I dont know what could be doing this. Perhaps its the new ROM for HTC which i installed about 2 weeks about, but i cant figure it out. B/c most of my calls are short and are for confermation. Any tips with be great. Thanks!
well i think i kno what it is
I was on another forum and someone told me it was the Radio, i was on the cingular forums to see if they can do anything, they told me to do a hard reset, i did but i havent gotten in a long conversation so we'll see
I've been having the same issue for weeks now.
Someone mentioned if you have an application which is set to automatically connect to the internet (ex. Pocketweather. Newsbreak), then this can potentially be the cause. It has something to do with switching between voice and data.
There's a simple registry fix for this. Read about it last night, but don't have a link handy. It was in the Wizard forums here.
Please
Please look for it it would be greatly apritated
Registry change for dropped calls after 4 minutes
Add the key
HKLM\drivers\builtin\ril\GPRSStallWorkaround=dw:0
See http://www.netmotionwireless.com/support/technotes/2208.asp for an explanation...
I dont see it
I dont see "GPRSStallWorkaround"=dword:0" do i make it or what i read the link you gave me
Add the keyY
You need to add the key with a value of a double word (dw) of 0. Check out the link above...
Thanks for starting a thread like this. i usually experience this issue when I'm using Agile Messenger and a call comes in. If I don't close Agile while on the call it will just drop the call.
I might give this GPRSStallWorkaround a try if anyone gets any results from it.
Soo
I copy this entire thing word for word GPRSStallWorkaround"=dword:0 ? and put the type DWORD
Negative
you make a new key as descibed above and give it a value of a double word of 0.
OOOK
ok i got it now i see it.. and that will solve it i presume and i soft reset?
yep...reset it...
it will address the problem descibed in the link above...
It works!!
Thanks soo much i was on a call for 20 min straight and it didnt disconnect. thanks soo much again
Every so often, I will make a call and either try to end the call, or try to enter numbers in, and nothing will happen. Changing the volume doesn't work either. No matter how many times I press the end key, nothing happens.
Then, about 20 seconds later,l the phone will respond, and the call will end.
Do I need to do a warrany exchange?
Oh my god Harlen, I'm having the EXACT same issues. It either won't end the call, or I cant pick up a call. Also sometimes I cant pick up a call waiting call, and sometimes when the call finally ends I get a loud busy signal. Maybe its a problem specific to owners in CT
I thought it was specific to the new ATT Rom that I flashed to last week, so I flashed yesterday to Black 3.0.1, and it does the same thing.
Hmmm. I thought it was the new ROM too. What programs do you have installed. Maybe we can find our common problem app.
Bandswitch
LegolasTheElf date and time
WM VI Black VIjay555 Utils
HTC X button 1.5
MT Software Today Agenda
MisurdaSoft Search Today
Kyphur Hold Comm Button Toggle
Cingular Wap/GPRS settings Cab
All we have in common is bandswitch... hmmm. I dont know what to say. All I know is if these issues keep up, I'm headed for another hard reset.
What programs are you running? Always looking for new things to run.
I will try uninstalling BandSwitch to see if that does anything.
What ROM are you using now?
Anyone run into the phone not answering the call when you hit the answer button or wnaswer on screen? Any fixes or ideas?
yep... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370483
Tried to get started with narrowing down which app causes it but the thread fizzled. I ended up flashing to a newer DCD release and then only installed the bare bones apps I needed to get by and it's working fine so far.
Me too

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have been having the similar problems. I can answer if I hold the button down a really long time or hold the slide at the end until the screen changes to the phone app. Usually I get a missed call though. I initially thought it may have been S2U2 or S2UP but after using and uninstalling both no resolution. I got no fixes or ideas as of yet, just uninstalling apps and seeing how it responds. On a positive note taking off all these apps has increased my standby memory considerably
So what you guys are saying is that out of nowhere your phones won't answer a call?
Or did you like flash a ROM and then wasn't able to pick up a call?
One thing that helped me was to change all ringtones to WMA on DCD's ROM's because MP3's dont seem to play all the time for a weird reason.
Also I changed the settings on my phone. In the the EPST I changed a setting in the Modem menu. I changed the Slot Cycle Index to "0" instead of "2" and it answers the calls faster.
These are just some ideas as I really dont know what issues you are having.
I just posted a long winded update to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370483
Ultimate fix for me (experiencing non-answerable calls) was a hard reset. I'm blaming the AdvancedConfig tool or some setting it exposed to me to tweak.
i've had the same thing happen in the past so i would be interested if this gets figured out. i never figured out what it was, but since I back up nightly w/ sprite backup, i just restored the most recent registry backup and it took care of the problem both times it happened.
same happened to me - i couldnt answer a single call and had to call back whoever rang me up.
REALLY annoying.
i repaired it very easily, however.
i um...accidentally.. dropped my phone off a roof and the new one answers calls very well!
this also solved all the other problems i had with my earlier phone.
go figure!
I am having the same problem...hit the green talk button or the answer button and nothing happens. I have to call everyone back...so what I am hearing is that it is the advance config program that is causing it and a hard reset is the only option to fix it?
that appears to be the case - at least in my experience.
I just bought my xv6900 2 days ago and i noticed that each time my phone goes idle as it goes to sleep and when someone text messages me i dont get a notification until i turn on the phone again with the button on top of the phone. and also sometimes i dont receive a call and when i next turn back on my phone it says missed call..
does anyone perhaps have the same problem or know whats wrong with my phone?
I have had the same problem and can't figure it out. I've done a hard reset and that fixes it for a bit, but no long term solution.
I have the following Software Installed:
SPB Mobile Shell
VIP Ringtone Manager
Shubaroo Group SMS

i have yet to install any other apps that didnt come with the phone. and i read that forum link u gave me, it doesnt seem to be my battery because i know my battery was at 80% when this happend. its such a nice phone but this really pisses me off. wish there was a solution.
I am having the same issue. I called verzion and they know nothing about it. Everyone who has this please call. I really like this phone but if it doesnt work like a phone its useless.
I've seen same problem on a Sprint Touch so it's not specific to Verizon.
I had 2 Sprint Touch phones side by side and one would not wake up from suspend for an incoming text or phone call. The second Touch worked properly and they had the exact same configuration. No clue why some of the HTC Vogue's have this issue and others don't.
I would call Verizon and ask for a swap if they ignore your problem.
Well I did a hard reset and it worked great for few days! Now back to normal.. looks like it is going back to verizon. Not sure what to get though.
Got the same problem but some days it works fine and some days it doesnt. I througth i had to much stuff saved or downloaded on the phone but when i removed programs that i downloaded that i never used it didnt fix anything so im puzzled like everyone else here.
same issue
I have had mine for several months now, i just had to do a hard reset recently and my phone has done the same exact thing ever since. I thought maybe it was a problem with polling. I did notice this time I hard reset, verizon did not have me set my A key, instead they changed something on their side and had me do a 228 reprogram. So i wonder if something is being changed via this new method ( the guy told me he just figured out he could do it this way and not require me to set my akey ).
