BT reactivate alone after a call - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi,
i noticed everytime i turn off bluetooth (in order to spare battery time) it reactivate itself alone after a call... is this normal ? does anybody else experience this problem ?
(ps : i have pocket bluetooth tools, but i don't think that s the problem... is it??)
Thanks for any help

It is, and its not a bug, its a feature Its so you can answer a call using your bluetooth headset.
If you dont have a headset its obviously useless to you, but PBT is not under development any more, so you kind of stuck with the way it works now, or to un-install it.
Surur

Ok. i just had to read in fact the guide http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/guide_e.html to see that it can turn it back to off if BT is not used after 60 seconds...that s a good idea
Too pity they stopped development, it helped me a lot in the set up of the BT for activesync via BT and for set up of BT GPS...
anyway, thanks for the hint. (it gave me the idea to look a little bit further
Have a nice day!

I use PBT and I use the 60 second feature. What I found with my o2 clip bt headset is that the headset seems to lose connection to the phone after a short while regardless of the 60sec rule. Sometimes it would happen just before receiving or dialing a number.
Very annoying.

Bluetooth headset problems!

Hey guys. I have an XDA II and the Motorola Bluetooth headset. I gave up trying to use the headset before the updated XDA II ROM as it was very temperamental to say the least. Now I have updated the ROM its much better but I still have problems. If I am dialling out and put the headset on first then its fine, transfers to the headset etc. If I am wearing the headset and then take a call its fine, transfers to headset etc. But if I am not wearing the headset, say it’s in its case and the arm is closed then I get a call, I open the arm and stick the headset on and answer a call and nothing. Wont transfer to headset and I need to use the phone. Not good when driving! Is this still a XDA II problem? Have I set it up wrong or is the headset not working right? Bascially I need to have the arm open on the headset at all times for it to work like it should (like it did on my T68i) and its very annoying? Any ideas?
This is the headset http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/software/ss_html_docs/bluetooth/bluetooth_headset_info.pdf
Thanks in advance
Have you installed bluetooth tools? Unbond your headset then rebond after installing bluetooth tools.
What the best place to get the bluetooth tools from? Sorry if this has already been asked. And are they free??
Thanks
Yeah I did try bluetooth tools but it did not seem to make any difference maybe its just my headset, it was like one of the first Bluetooth headsets out :? I dunno...
You can get Bluetooth tools from...http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/
And it seems to be free
Thanks for that.
However, I could not find the settings button, Just a display on the screen. What are the 1 & 2 buttons for??
:?
Yeah the only changes you see are when adding new devices like headsets etc as far as I know. I thought the same as you, went through all the options looking for it hehe. Those two things on the screen are something to do with selecting different settings for bluetooth to conserve battery like always on or auto off. I am not too sure as I removed it when it did not fix my problem!
Yeah, I removed it too. It caused me all sorts of problems with connecting my bluetooth jabra bt200!

How to make bluetooth turn off automatically?

The idia is to use bluetooth headset (in my case HBH-600) with SE T630 and my Compact.
T630 pairs with headset only during incoming or outgoing call, in stand-by mode my headset is absolutly free to connect to my Compact.
And since my Compact connected to handsfree it's not letting it go. Even when my device is turned off headset remains connected to it. On the one hand it's good, but in order to make headset work with two devices I should get rid of that feature.
I've seen a thread where people (with feature mentioned above) said that our devices don't think that answering a call is "using" the device and turn off. So other party of conversation couldn't hear anything.
Do you have any ideas how to break bluetooth connection with headset after call?
Thanks in advance.
Perhaps Pocket Bluetooth Tools will help you, it can auto-off the BT on the device after the call is complete and re-enable it when a call comes in.
Be aware, however, that some people find it can cause more problems than it solves - I however love it on my Xda II.
Thanks for tip.
I've tried that a long time ago, but found it of no use for me at that moment.
I remember that there is "settings" for it, but now I can't find it.
And another question. On that site it is said that program supports bluetooth handsfree and headset profile, and what about voice dialing?
you also can use Pocket Zen Phone.. schedule your profile to set the bluetooth off at certain time.

Come on guys....
does that mean no one using this automatic pairing ?
'm still being postive on this thread
Cheers
I would be amazed if it was true, it would be a huge bluetooth security hole if it was !!! if you can force a headset to pair with out authentication you can force anything to pair !!! are you sure you understood correctly
Don't you mean that the sound was automatically sent to the headset when a call comes in? Automatic pairing is something I have never heard of. I guess the guy paired his headset, so that when a call comes in, he hears it autmatically in his headset. Sounds more logical and feasible to me.
Why would you want to pair automatically anyway? Just pair it in the morning when you wake up, and use it all day till you switch it off. Only thing I can imagine would be battery save, but that would mean that an incoming call would have to activate both the BT on your phone and on your headset. And that is not possible, since without BT connection ( paired) no signals from the phone come to the headset.
ice_coffee -- Though I didn't see the subtle details of the mentioned software i think we'll have to pair with our BT device (proper authentication) which will be saved by the program and these details wud be used as and when incoming call comes ....
Koksie -- ur intuition is correct ....i.e. reason to do this stuff is to save battery.... bluetoooth drains exec very rapidly.....
if none of you all seen that post then i should be dreaming :!:
i'll continue my search and update the thread if i'm successful
Thanks for your inputs guys....
Cheers
Pairing is pairing but turning bluetooth on for an incoming or outgoing call is something else. PockeZenPhone has this option but it doesn't work cause it takes to long to turn on bluetooth and connect the headset before loosing your call.
Oh.. not it make sense. I think what he means is that, you had your headset and phone paired (with code and stuff). However, the headset or phone bluetooth may be off. And once there is a call coming in, it will switch on the headset/bluetooth on phone.

I want my Wizard screen to stay off when a call come`s in !!

Hey all,
I have searched the forums several times now and never found an answer to my question. I have a Parrot CK3100 Carkit and a Wizard. Both work perfectly together.
The only thing that really bugs me is that when the Wizard is connected to my carkit, the screen turns on when a call comes in.
Is there a small utility or registry trick that will keep my Wizard screen turned off when connected to my Carkit on an incoming call? i always have my Wizard in my pocket and i don`t want any unwanted keypresses after or during a call.
I really hope someone could help me out.
Best regards,
GaMeR64
try phonealarm apl
You can try phonealarm from pocketmax, there is an option to turn the screen off when a call is on.
And better you can have several profiles for that, special when in car.
Hope it helps
P.S. It is a great software , very usefull for managing your pda as a phone...

No voice dialer when device closed ?

Hi all,
I just got a new athena ppc and I am a bit disappointed 'cause I was not able to make phonecalls when the ppc is closed neither using the button on the earphone or configuring an hardware button for the purpose. Is there anyway I can make the voice dialer pop-up while the device is closed in the pocket ? Thanks a lot.
P.S.:
I am currently running the default WM6 ROM from HTC ITA.
That's odd. I'm using MSVC, and although I have to have the security settings a little lower than they're supposed to (i.e. I have it set so that MSVC can be triggered even when the device is locked), it's responsive via both the BT headset and the button. I wouldn't think that MS is doing anything unique there....
I dont have a problem activating the voice tags from my BT headphone with the device in standby.
Sorry, I did not mean in standby but closed like when you close the keyboard on it and the device displays the operator name and the signal strenght through the transparent strip.
I think it's just you, as I have been before and now using my X7501 closed without any problems with voice dial. Maybe it's your bluetooth settings or something. If I were you try to repair it and see if that helps. Oh btw I'm using a Jabra BT8010 the only thing is it's 2 clicks to activate voice dial due to the headset going into (stereo) mode. Hope this helps any and good luck.

I should have clarified - when its in its belt holster, cover on and in stand by, it works fine. I know when the cover is on some of the buttons on the Athena are disabled, but it doesn't affect any control requests coming from my BT headset. Also to be sure I just did a test with the cover on and with the display on, and it worked again. I'm using the Jabra BT 8010 like many others here.
Well, I just tested the device again and either in standby or cover-on the default headset (the wired one that comes in the box) does not wake up the phone when pressing the "voice dialer" button on it. If you can confirm me this beahviour I'll go and buy a bluetooth one.
Thanks in advance.
I'll try to remember tonight, I tested the wired headset once when I opened the box and decided it wasn't comfortable in my ears. Its been in the box since.
Ok solved. It works great with a sony bluetooth headset, it is probably an issue of the wired headset that comes in the box.
Thanks to all
