I bought my shift last week and I've already encountered a few problems which are tied with communication manager. When i try to turn on bluetooth, it says its turned on but there's no icon in the system tray and under device manager, bluetooth isn't even listed. When i go to control panel to alter the settings, it appears that vista thinks bluetooth is turned off. Any ideas?
Secondly, in the communication manager, it says wifi is turned off even though i've connected to my router and freely surfing the net. Sometimes when i try to go to advanced settings, i get a pop-up saying something along the lines of "EC FIRMWARE VERSION FAIL".
I've tried doing a system restore and also uninstalling and reinstalling the communication manager software.
Can someone help me out? is the communication manager the be-all-and-end-all of controlling wifi and bluetooth?

everyone seems to be having problems with the mananger. i would try to mess around with it or maybe resetup/reinstall vista. maybe someone else also has some suggestions.
strange....i don't seems to have any problem with the comm manager, that is before and after install sp1
No problems here either, although I still haven't installed SP1 - I've installed all other available updates.
ive installed a few updates but whether SP1 was installed im not too sure. i phoned up htc support and they suggested i do a F3 Reset.
on another note, does MS office come pre-installed as standard on the Shift? I have it installed but its asking for a s/n which i cant find anywhere in my shift box.

ok so maybe not everyone
ok, i did a hard reset and that fixed the problem. then i reinstalled the free version of zone alarm and problem came back. so there lies the problem - zone alarm.
problem solved.

there u go. just stay away from that until a update comes and see if the update fixes it.
Ok this is starting to annoy me now.
Every time I boot up my phone, it IMMEDIATLY wants to connect. Obviously, since I haven't giving my password in, so no phone service is available yet, it fails.
So every single time I boot my phone I get to see this message (see picture below). The only way to get it gone, is to press Negeren (Ignore).
Is there a solution that doesn't immediatly wants to connect, but waits with connecting when the phone actually has service to connect?
Thanks, Lennart
(Quick translation of the picture: The modem on the other side has disconnected. Tap settings to check the connection settings and change if neccesary)
Same problem here ...
Don't want to irritate you guys by bumping, but really wondering if anyone has a solution for this.
Or even the same problem?
Thanks
I think that the problem is My location, which can't be full disabled.
Each startup My location trying to detect phones location.
For me i have "Select Time Zone" after each startup after connection established
How to fix - don't know
There is a way to disable MyLocation, using BsB...
Hmm, don't want to use an option that requires total disable of another program
I was told by someone that had and hd2 that they could not bluetooth to another HD2. Sure enough, I tried it with another HD2 and we never found each other when we did a search. We tried for a half hour. Has anyone heard of this or know a fix (if this is truly the case)?
I had an issue with this also. We had to use multiple passwords on each TP2, it was a real pain, possible-but not easy like with the Hermes(8525). I recently found a reg edit that disables the password, but I have not tried it yet.
My wife and I ran into the same problem during lunch today. I saw this thread and then went looking for the answer.
Here's how you make the phone discoverable to other devices beyond headsets.
Turning Bluetooth on and making your phone visible
Turn Bluetooth on and make your phone visible (discoverable) when you want other Bluetooth-enabled devices to detect and connect with your phone.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab, and then tap Menu > All Settings > Bluetooth.
2. When prompted to turn on Bluetooth, tap Yes.
3. Tap the Settings tab ( ), and then tap Not Discoverable.
4. Select Always Visible.
Note If you select Visible for 60 seconds, Bluetooth visibility will turn off automatically when the time elapses and your phone has not yet connected to another Bluetooth device.
5. Tap Done. The icon then appears in the title bar to indicate that your phone is in visible mode.
Tip To easily switch Bluetooth off or back on, tap Wireless controls on the Home Screen’s Settings tab to open the Comm Manager and then tap Bluetooth’s Off/On switch.
Your phone remembers whether visible mode was previously enabled or disabled. If you did not disable visible mode, switching Bluetooth on in the Comm Manager also puts your phone in visible mode automatically. For more information about using the Comm Manager, see Chapter 14.

I got this from the manual for the HD2 on page 209. I downloaded it from tmobile.com in the mytmobile section under support. I would attach it but the file is too large.
^^ yep its that easy been transfering files from the laptop to the phone...so easy
The root of the last update made me to do many mistakes and I had to initialize my kindle. Again the hard work of installing and tricking old programs that worked well.
All fine until I tried my bluetooth GPS dongle. With the other versions of rom it was rejected as an unsupported device, stopping pairing after a few seconds, needing other utilities to make the pairing stable. Now it paired well, at first try, but on the other side "Bluetooth GPS Provider" by Mobilej.de, the app that used to work, now crash all the time. This app used to work perfectly if installed in the System folder /app and annulling the "Force GPS Position" option, but not now.
Other app with the same name but from Michael Chourdakis(TurboIRC.com), that refused to work with 7.2.3, now runs, although is a more basic program.
Does it happens to someone else?

Yes hello, this exact same thing is happening for me...
Prior to this new firmware update, I had been using a Global Sat external gps with Bluetooth GPS Provider (Mobilej.de) and it had successfully connected and gained location activity, after enabling mock settings with "KFHD xSettings", for use with maps applications (in my case for aviation moving maps Avare & Air Navigation Pro). Now with the recent 7.3.0 update, this no longer works and the Bluetooth provider app immediately has lost connection and is stopped. Additionally, these apps continually tell me that location-provider setting is turned off, even though it is shown as "ON".
Have you found a work around yet for this update? Are you saying that the other app by Michael Chourdakis is working and providing gps connection?
Yes, it fails one or two times to connect, you must insist. Then suddenly, it links and begins to receive coordinates and stay connected properly.
You must let it in the background like the other app.
Now, way to home, I will prove its accuracy...
I forgot the link to the app:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/turboirc.btgps.apk.zip or http://ubuntuone.com/3yq3ZJKWIvB7Rss37BFE1k
edit: (thanks to prokennexusa)
hello thanks for the app link!
I just tried it after installing in \system\app folder. it does establish connection and says it receives coordinate information, but when I open map applications they say no location available. Or no GPS service.
Are you getting the same? have you successfully used a gps application with your bluetooth dongle?
It is not necessary to install it in System/app but if it works for you...., Once you see the name of the dongle and the coordinates, you must exit with the home button, not with the arrow one, to make the app run in the background. Edit: no, it doesn't closes by itshelf. Is necesary to stop it in configuration....
Then, sliding down the finger by the upper part of the screen you can see a notification that the GPS is working and an GPS icon near the bluetooth symbol is visible. Edit: No, is the android system who shows that alerts when the navigator(whichever you use) request "location" ...
Yes, I have "Mock locations" activated with "KFHD xSettings" (courtesy of 0xD34D), but it works for me with or without "internal location-provider" set.

I'm testing now the "Alpine quest hiking" app, but by the day I will do with Tom-tom.
The experience has been a bitter relief, as this "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(Turboirc) app seems to be the only remaining solution to tie GPSs and Kindles, but the program hasn't options and loses signal occasionally, just only a second fortunately. Accuracy is good.
-
The "original" "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(Mobilej) behaviour has changed, in doesn't hangs now, only announces that has been closed and, curiously only if you install it normally(not system/app), lets you a feedback with the creator to send him errors. I will prove if he or they can fix it in between.
later I will show more tests....
Route 66 hangs with or without WIFI (I set it off to secure there is no "wifi location") in the precise moment I run "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(turbo irc). With the earlier updates it worked good with "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(movilej.de).
-
It seems that the turboirc version does something wrong when injecting coordinates to the android system.
GPS update 7.3.0 very good .But hope to soon have CM10.1 . Many thanks Hashcode :victory:

^Exactly...I believe I am having the same issue with the turboirc version not feeding gps information. I got it to connect with position initially but does not continually update data in intervals like the mobilej.de version had. As a result, the gps apps get hung up or stop without this feed of coordinate data.
i suppose I will just use my phone in the mean time, until maybe a new firmware update will change this issue!
I've sideloaded Avare, a free superb navigator, for planes!. It doesn't reads the "GPS Provider" app, but neither hangs. Tomtom seems to work, but its raining here and the test must wait to my way home, later.
By car, friends....
hokie152 said: "Exactly...I believe I am having the same issue with the turboirc version not feeding gps information"
Not so easy, it seems some apps see the information and others no. "Alpine quest" works, so the provider app is feeding.
hokie152. If you need GPS to fly, do it as you said by tethering from your phone.............. or downgrade to 7.2.3 and lock updates.....

But be aware of Bluetooth not working properly, yet (Bug)
Definitively Tomtom works with "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(turboirc) on 7.3.0. Has the same glitches every now and then like Alpine Quest, but it brings you to home and alerts you of radars.....
Another bluetooth gps provider named..... BlueGPS4android, installs but I cant make it work:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluegps4droid/?source=dlp
Bluegps4android works in my phone, but all versions offered refuse to tie in Kindle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've find an app that connects DIRECTLY with the GPS dongle without a provider app. Its name is Trekbuddy, side-loaded from Google Market.
Is a complex program that needs some study, but apparently it works, I don't know if can be used to fly....
To hokie152:
I've installed Air Navigation Pro, and it seems to react and receive some coordinates if you have set "wifi location" with or without wifi. Later I'll take the car and test it. My bluetooth dongle is a cheap and outdated Zaapa Touch(only 5 euros!).
Air Navigation Pro works, but suffers occasionally the same loss of data failures, causing the little plane in the screen turn as a weathervane moved by a whirlwind....But it runs.

I will try connecting Air Navigation Pro using Bluetooth GPS Provider by turboir and see if I have the same results "with or without WIFI". I have seen the little plane before rotate in circles when you stop moving (at zero velocity). It displays your location but has no direction of motion so it cannot hold a proper heading. Thanks!
I mean that I think this program inject coordinates(mock locations) to the system, so its necessary that location services are working, ie the approximate location by wifi used by our Kindle. Happy Fly!

Now I'm making a map of my way to home to test Trekbuddy reading directly from my dongle gps..... to test if it isn't guilty of the glitches.
Hi,
my bluetooth suddenly is turning on for some reason i don't know today. I don't know how it is turning on. any way to track which apps is doing this?
I tried to check on settings >> applications >> application manager >> change system settings but there are too many apps that is enabled and I don't know which app is really causing the bluetooth to turn on.
any other method to know how?
Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find out how to repair this?
Are you using Good Lock?
Good Lock, uses a location base to change toggles.
I have mine setup so when i leave the house Bluetooth comes on.
When i get to work, Bluetooth goes off and silent mode is activated.
When i leave work, Sound is loud and bluetooth is active again.
When i get home, it will turn off Bluetooth and enable Wifi.
(Just incase you are using Good Lock) It was puzzling me for ages until i went in and configured it properly.

for my case, i found out it was because of the Mi Fit app. When I restart the phone, the bluetooth is not turning on. but when I open the Mi Fit app, it will not always auto turn on the bluetooth.
Check if you have this app.
My bluetooth is turning on only when my screen is off. When I turn the screen on I see bluetooth icon, and after unlock, icon disappear. Sometime, when I doesn't wait on lock screen, but unlock phone immediately bluetooth remain on. I attach list of all my apps.
Is there any app that shows apps which are using bluetooth?
I'm on stock ROM with root, xposed and twrp.
Well a good way would to individually check all the apps, who knows maybe you'll get lucky and it will be the first one you try. Or i recommend just going through the ones that use Bluetooth commonly eg if you have like a smart watch that connects to your phone.
I make a full wipe yeasterday, and problem remains. BetterBatteryStats shows that bluetooth is linked with turning screen on (see screenshot).
I have XPrivacy, how can I set to always asks to use bluetooth?
I uninstalled half of all my apps, and nothing changed.
Did you tried to wipe apps data? Go to app manager, choose view of system apps, and find anything involved with BT, as I remember I had 3 or 4 in my Galaxy S5.
As I said before I made full wipe. Can I get any information from btsnoop_hci.log?
Did you found problem just after wipe (on a clean ROM)? Or after restore apps?
At first startup, phone restore my apps. so I can't it is system app or installed from google play.
Ok so IMHO it's not bad idea to delete app data of some BT applications from app manager.
How can I find which app is using bluetooth?
Names starts with "bluetooth" and contains "bluetooth" ex. sharing bluetooth (udostępnianie).
Ok, done. I have 4 apps: Bluetooth MIDI Service 6.0.1, BluetoothTest 6.0.1, Bluetooth Sharing 6.0.1 and com.see.knox.bluetooth (which was uninstalled, because it's grey in titanium backup).
Ok, keep the fingers crossed! This helped me with my old S5 - maybe will be helpfull to you.
Unfortunately no effect for me.
Clear also data of google play services.
