Hi all
I have K-JAM with latest IMate ROM
I notice that as soon as the phone starts ringing it enables bluetooth. I dont have a bluetooth headset and have never paired one with my device. Even more worrying is that it does not turn off the bluetooth after a call, or worse if I miss a call bluetooth could be left on draining the battery.
ive hunted for settings, i suspect its something to do with a headset setting but cant find anything. Does anyone know how to stop it doing this? Its very irritating.
Cheers
G!
If you don't have a bluetooth headset you might not need bluetooth at all. If you don't then just go to Start --> Settings --> Connections and click the Bluetooh icon and just turn it off completely. You can also hit the Comm Manager button (upper side left button) and turn it off there. I have mine all the time and it really doesn't waste the battery much more than if it were off. Same thing applies with wi-fi as long as your phone goes to sleep. If you are turning it off and it automatically turns on when you get an incomming call then you definitely have something weird going on.
Good luck
Hi,
No i definately have BT turned off but as soon as there is an incoming call it turns on, and sometimes when you close the phone application the Comm Manager is visible behind it.
Has anyone else seen this?
G!
Wow... That is definitely strange. I was pretty sure mine didn't do that because I just recently got a bluetooth headset so I wasn't always using bluetooth. I tested this just to make sure. Mine does not turn bluetooth on. If I turn it off it stays off.
I have a Qtek 9100 non branded with the first WWE release
ROM 1.1.7.5
ROM 09/22/05
Radio 01.01.10
Protocol 4.0.13.16
extROM 1.1.7.105
My Xda Mini S doesn't either, but it would be a great feature to have to save battery life, in fact it has long been requested since the first Windows Smartphone 2 years ago.
Perhaps your device has some registry entry that we don't?
i once had a ericsson t39m, great phone. too bad the don't make them anymore.
Anyway it had this setting for bluetooth. you could turn it on, turn it off, turn it on for 10 minutes, and set it on auto.
Now that last setting is something i really want. because when it was set on auto, the bluetooth connection would always be off. So you wouldn't be able to make a connection to the phone (and the phone wouldn't be using any excess batterypower)
However when a call came in (or a call was made), the bluetooth function would switch on make a connection to you headset and let you make use of your headset. Cool huh, you got the added benefit of bluetooth without the additional battery drain.
Now my question, is there something for my magician? i've been searching for a while but didn't find anything. Now since i have my headset i've been really annoyed by the short battery span. It really doesn't hold out much longer then 6 hours which for me is really too short.
PocketZenPhone, PhoneAlarm and DKToday, they all switch blutooth on incoming/outgoing calls, but they work only on selected devices and they require a button press on the headset to wake it up. They are working on updates
it really works crappy. bluetooth does go on, and the headset does connect (i can hear it ringing in the headset) but it's too slow and the headset just doesn't pick up the phone after the press of the button.
Battery drain
Jasjar in standby mode with bluetooth and UMTS active: 1% every houre
Jasjar in standby mode with bluetooth and GSM active: 0.5% every houre
Turning bluetooth off doesn't make sense if you need it.
well my magician certainly drains alot more then that (ALOT MORE) so for me it does have a huge effect to turn it off. in fact it's like 1 percent every 3 minutes which gets drained. That will leave my phone without power in no time.
(sorry that should be 5 minutes per 1 percent in standby mode)
I have a stock Verizon XV6900 running WinMobile 6.1. I have an issue with the sound profile changing almost every time I turn my bluetooth on or off.
The 6900 comes with only three sound profiles: on, vibrate, and off. I keep mine on vibrate. Whenever - again, _almost_ every time - I turn my bluetooth on or off, the sound profile will change from vibrate to either on or off. I've used different bluetooth devices - Jabra, Motorola, and Plantronics - and get the same results. I've spent time on the phone with Verizon "service techs" (both the non-help screen-readers and the ones who really knew something about the device), and they even forwarded me over the HTC technical support. Everyone has the same response: that's just a glitch in this device.
It's infuriating to miss calls because I took my bluetooth off and turned it off, and my phone went to sounds off! Is there a way to prevent this? Maybe a registry hack to keep the sound profile permanently set to either vibrate or on? Or maybe a script to poll the phone when the blurtooh connection changes? Something???
A drop-kick in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Whenever I connect to one of my Bluetooth devices it shows that it's "Connected to xxxxx" in the secondary screen.
However, after I disconnect from the Bluetooth device it still says its connected in the secondary screen and the secondary screen just hangs there frozen saying its connected. I can only get rid of it by restarting the device.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm experiencing this issue. I think it started happening after applying the latest update.
to fix it w/o restarting the device, you can go to settings - display - second screen and turn off 'show when main screen on' and back on.
I have this and all kinds of BT issues with my car.
Bluetooth has given me a lot of problems. Secondary screen stuck displaying the "connected" message, Bluetooth crashing, and high CPU usage when not connected. I've had better experience by toggling Bluetooth off and on with Tasker after disconnecting from my car. Figure it gives it a kick causing it to play nice.

So it's not just me having bluetooth issues lately. I was getting ready to drop by AT&T because of all the problems it''s been giving me lately connecting to things on bluetooth...
Mine has recently started doing the same thing with second screen stuck on connected to vehicle Bluetooth. I do remember updating recently so I am unsure what cause this issue. I am using stock with ATT

I tried this trick and it only works temporarily. After an hour or so the same connection message will appear even though I'm not connected. So annoying. Come on LG! I like their devices but there is always some annoying issues with their phones.
Are you guys also experiencing general notification issues?
Example, I click on a Twitter or Kijiji notification and the app won't open or I can't respond within the notification shade any more.

I'm wondering if this is the cause of everyone else's bluetooth/notification issues. Worth a shot.
Ever since I upgraded to 10K from 10J on T-Mobile it has started doing this. Once I am connected I never have a problem with Bluetooth but connecting has been inconsistent ever since upgrading. My car stereo for example used to connect automatically now to get it to reconnect I have to turn off the stereo and the Bluetooth radio on my phone and then both back on @ same time otherwise I have to manually connect through the phone BT menu
Been having issues with bluetooth too. I've gotten into the habit of just turning it off after I get out of the car, then turning it on right before I get back in the car. If I leave it on all the time it fails to connect about half the time I turn on the car, if not more. Strangely I don't have the same issue with my Anker speakers, so I sort of assumed the car was the problem, but it seems not from these comments

This seems to have fixed it for me! I had the same issue after updating my phone to the latest build.

Same exact issue. It only seems to happen to my car stereo since I upgraded to 10K. But my other speakers and headsets 99% of the time it will connect by itself.
Same issue here. Super annoying. Appears to have shown up around the same time that all my notifications stopped working.
I've been having the same issue. I use Car Home Ultra, and noticed that it was very delayed starting, and would start randomly even after leaving my car/disconnecting bluetooth. I thought it was a problem with that app, but now it appears it's that the phone is delayed in notifying of bluetooth connect/disconnect.
I constantly have the "connected" notification taking up the second screen until I reboot.
I am experiencing this aswell, and , when connecting to my SYNC 3 in my Ford Focus, it says connected, but it isn't. If someone rings me, the hand set rings.
It seems to be the initial handshake, if the phone's bluetooth is off when i turn car on, then i turn blutooth on and select "sync 3" it's all good, but if bluetooth is already on , and i switch car on , i get the message on the radio it's connected to my phone... but i cant access contacts or messages ( even though they are ticked in bluetooth menu )...
lucky for the 2 year warranty...
Disabling the Google app has fixed this issue and fixed my push notifications. Not ideal but doesn't appear any other answer exists.
Anybody have any updates on this issue? I have been having the connected message showing more frequently to my vehicles. I have been turning off second display and back on to remove. Thanks for the suggestion Adam about disabling Google app but like you said it is not ideal.
So on Verizon they just pushed a system update. Post update, I enabled Google app, and everything appears to be working great thus far.
I don't remember when but the issue just kind of went away without any action on my part. Maybe it was an update?
So when I get into my truck with my bluetooth on, my truck finds the phone instantly and will start playing my spotify. It'll play for a good 30 seconds or more and then just disconnect basically and put me to Sirius or FM/AM. If I try to reconnect it in my sources. Just sits and searches for my phone and cant connect. I shut toggle off and on my BT on phone and then connect it and works like its suppose to. Any hints or ideas on what to do so I dont need to do this each time. I've even tried to get in with BT turned off, and toggle it on but it still does it once basically each time I get in.
No one else has this problem?
