Bluetooth not staying on - same problem as Tracy and Matt Blog

My Xperia X1 is great. The keyboard is a refreshing change from the orbit 2/polaris.
Problem - Bluetooth does not stay switched on. This is most apparent when using my Parrot carkit because it does not automatically connect due to the bluetooth being switched off. I have looked through the settings to no avail. Any suggestions? Anyone else with similar problem?
Also the screen switches itself off at such short intervals - possibly to help battery life but it makes reading web pages frustrating at times.

The screen switching off can be changed or turned off in the phone settings.

Thanks for that. The bluetooth issue is real although it may only be on the branded uk ROMs. Anyone else with a similar problem - when I click bluetooth on it stays but as soon as you open up settings or programs the icon disappears (switches itself off). Any bright ideas?

Bluetooth just turns off...
I have the same problem.
The Bluetooth just turns off.
Its a real problem, and nothing i can find either talks about it... or in any setting.
Anyone know of a fix?

My friend at SE Sweden told me that a new FW will fix this. They know about the problem and are working on it.

RTFM - switch bluetooth on + soft reset device = bluetooth stays on.
Works for me

RTFM....
This does not fix the issue. Soft reset after enabling.
Again... I contacted SE... and was told.. "We are aware of this and it has been passed to developers to create a patch in the form of a CAB/flash that will become available on the SE website under support."
So... timescales... she said.. it won't be weeks as this is a new phone and any issues are taking priority.
Sit and wait... if you need it and use BT constant... Hold fire on buying one...

Well, that's weird since it fixed the issue for me... still, nice to hear SE's working on improvements.

Can you put what rom version yours is.?
Start /SEttings/device information/Version
and what SE asked from me...
Start /SEttings/device information/customer info
thanks

What works for me is switching off the wifi - my bluetooth has stayed on every since.

I installed the Touch HD TF3D and hey presto.. WIFI and Bluetooth work as wanted with no probs.
So... What does this package do?
any Bluetooth settings or power?

Hello,
i have a german rom ( 1.02.932.3 ) and i have the bluetooth issue too.
daniel

I think this is just a small bug in the SE BT stack. SE phones have an option to turn on BT for 10 minutes or so, maybe this setting was used in the first roms. I hope SE will fix this.

I've got a 02 SE X1 just out, I have the same issue, I can connect to my Parrot 3200and it works fine, get back in to my car sometime later and BT will not connect, 1st I tried switching off the phone, then resets, and finally which works, switching off the BT and back on again (although BT still shows as being on in Connection manager), after that I can finally get a BT connection to the car kit,
Is anyone getting the same problem ?? and is there a patch yet as its really frustrating to do this every other time,
Thanks Mark

Hi Mark I have a Parrot Bluetooth carkit (3200 the same as you). It is working and syncing beautifully with the X1i just as it did with my previous WM devices.
I dont go through the stages you mentioned anymore but bluetooth only stays on if the wifi is kept off.
Hope you get yours sorted.

Wifi is always off ? I've emailed SE tech support so it will be interesting to see what they say

Does anyone have a problem with the HBH-DS980 bluetooth headset?
On my X1, it only shows Wireless Headset and Hands-Free services. What about A2DP and AVRCP?

I never use wifi, but I still get this problem pretty regularly. It's the only thing keeping me from using the phone.
Also, has anyone else noticed a bug where the email signature you set will not be retained after a soft reset? It always reverts back to the stock Xperia sig.

I have a Xperia uk version and had the same experience, bt went off randomly. I installed Touch flo 3d and now works fine. Switching on and off WiFi has no influence on bt in my case. Also tried bt on + soft reset and still bt went off sometimes.

i have same problem
i have the same problem with the bluetooth, i cannot connect to my car kit (which is SE also by the way!). After contacting SE i was told to wait for the new firmware coming out on the site... this is so frustrating!! how can such an expensive phone have this silly problem??

which ROM do you have?
Do you happen to have BigMike bluetooth running?

standy..you mean you press the power button and the screen goes off, right? And then it turns on by itself? Did you check if your bluetooth is on? Because I experienced this too before, if I left the bluetooth on and I turn off (stand by) the BA after a while it will turn on itself. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Try going through your power management under settings.
You might have tick a few things there.

I was getting this trouble too!
As Resident evil... on nights my device wakes up and begins screaming STARS!!!!
I just call Claire redfield and Alice and they burn on its head! PUMMM!
jajajaj
Well... check out your settings if you have a program runing under... and it needs conections via BT, Wi-fi or GPRS... your device gonna wakes up trying to get conection all the ways it can... if nothing is runing behind maybe was a bad flash... reflash it...
Hope all we can help you...
We are like a squadron supporting forces... Huh im playing too much Acecombat 5....

It could either be Bluetooth running and also it could be some appointment/message turning your device on. Also, do you have your device cradled? ActiveSync (if connected to PC) will turn your device on to sync.
Hope this helps

It's exaclty that. I read somewhere it has something to do with the bluetooth stack, I turned off BT and it stopped lol However I need BT always on as I use an external sirf star 3 gps and I pair up the mobile phone with my car. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Tks

There is no fix. Since WM5, the BT driver requires that it be turned on periodically or else it turns itself off. All ROM cookers (AFAIK) use the big mike fix driver to keep the BT alive.

I read somewhere that if you installed another BT stack that eventually it would solve the problem? Is this true?

ok there is fix but i do not advice you to use it if you use BT handsfree - because with original driver BT turns off when device get in standby and this one keeps it working

you can install S2U2 and set:
Lock when device wakes up: ON
Power Off in: 5s (this is the minimum).
this is not a solution, but more like a workaround...this works for me well...

Turn on / off Bluetooth

Hello,
i want to turn on bluetooth on my Touch Pro 2.
I tried it with BthSetMode( BTH_CONNECTABLE ); but doesn't work. nothing happen.
The function returns (int) 1359:
ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR --> An internal error occurred.
Is there another way to turn on bluetooth on my phone?
Thanks
MC-Bechtmann

ok, i found a solution myself. I have to use the widcomm SDK. Now, i can start Bluetooth with creating a new CBtIf Object. But how can i turn off Bluetooth?
I tried it with WIDCOMMSDK_Shutdown(), but it doesn't work. i close my application and bluetooth still turned on.
How can i turn it off?

Blue Tooth DRAIN Nonsense

I've noticed all of the NAND roms have huge BT drain in standby unless they are a sense rom, what exactly is the cause of this?

Same here. I think the BT stack in non-Sense roms is not finished/buggy.
I'll look at the source but can't promise anything.

IT seems strange that the home screen application affects the BT stack... why doesnt someone just pinch that part from sense?

It's not just a home screen application.
Sense is very deeply integrated into Android.

Looks like this just got fixed here. you just have to wait for the kernel in your current to get updated.

Bluetooth fix isn't working properly
The bluetooth fix is not working properly. Pairing works only if you go into menu and click connect (and using it right away). So if you already paired a device before and you have it turned off, it will not connect. And an other con. is that your bt device is in standby then the same problem it won't connect or somthing.

[Q] Anybody experienced the bluetooth issue w/ Pdaimatejam's ROM

Anybody experienced the Bluetooth issue w/ Pdaimatejam's ROM? My Bluetooth could be switched on and stable. But it always shows "Searching..." and cannot find any Bluetooth device. I cannot find HD2 from other Bluetooth device either.
Please advise!

mine works sweetly
ermm... a) make sure the other phones bluetooth is set to be Discoverable
and b) so a soft reset )

Emm...
After performing some further testing, I found it can pair with my laptop, but still cannot connect to my car. Seems like the Bluetooth in that ROM is not compatiable with my car.

put it on and after 30s they a connected and stays stable with out wifi
thats in V2 with original soft radio
