Bluetooth switches itself off when my new DHD goes into standby.
This means that when using a headset and the phone rings, I can't pick up the call with the headset, and the phone doesn't switch the audio back to the headset if I switch Bluetooth back on during the call and press the reconnect button on the headset - this would be expected behaviour, and has worked on other phones.
I can't find a setting to fix this problem, nor a solution in these forums or elsewhere. Is it a bug or have I missed something?
Ok I've found the problem: I'm running an app called battery Booster designed to help conserve battery power. One of its default settings includes turning off Bluetooth when the device is locked. D'oh!

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

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?
Using my 8525 for a bit over a month now, and I love the phone. Plenty of hacks/tweaks/edits and the phone is just how I like it right now.
Driving a 2005 Acura TL with the built in HandsFree Link and the phone paired seamlessly.
Recently, I notice that while on a call, sometimes the BT Link will drop and automatically transfer the call to the handset. This only happens here & there, not every call. Once call so far after I hung up in the car, the phone was still on and I ended up leaving someone a 6 minute voicemail of me driving, listening to music.....that can be dangerous!!!
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks,
John
i HAD SOME DISCONNECTS WHEN I RECEIVING MESSAGES..IS THAT IT?
No, it will just drop the bluetooth signal mid-call, then to get the car to recognize the phone again, I have to turn off the car and turn it back on to reset connection.....

I've had the same problem, only once or twice in about a week, using my Jawbone bth headset. Very disconcerting, but survivable. I can see where losing the car pairing might be a bit more problematic.
I wonder if this is because of the /weak/ Bth stack on the TyTN???
-Humbert
Possibly. I thought I saw some upgrades for the BT Stack on here somewhere but now I cant seem to track them down.
Something about the BT Radio shutting down or going into sleep mode after a while and a registry edit to keep it on at the sacrifice of minimal battery life which is fine by me...
Didn't read you mentioning it, but does bluetooth power off during the breaking of the link? If it does, read on and try the following..
not sure if this will help, but try to disable your auto power off options, uncheck the on battery power and on external power..
I had this solved some bluetooth problems especially using the Hermes Widcomm hack and MSI Blueplayer..
Yes, the BT does turn off, but then on again automatically as soon as the call is ended.
Where are you talking about? Is this in the registry or the BT Settings? I was not sure if the WidComm stack is fully functional as of yet, if so, is it in the Wiki?
Thanks again,
John
The WidComm stack is definitely NOT fully functional yet. One of the problems I have with this stack is that, the bluetooth will power off when my wizard turns off or goes into standby, which is not normal!
Not it is not a registry setting, but it is just how it behaves on my system. Sorry for not being a help... I know how the MS Stack pisses people off..
Best regards,
Eugene
Hey, every little bit of info I can get helps....
Thanks for the info on the WidComm Stack....I might just wait and deal with the MS untill the WC is fully functional and possibly in CAB format....just to make life all the easier!
OK, So today my phone would not drop the BT signal from my car.....after being home for 4 hours, it was still trying to use the HandsFree when recieving or making calls....took me a minute to figure out because the dialer skin I have is black at the top, so I could not see the headset icon at the top and was wondering why I could not hear anyone or use speakerphone.
Hopefully it was just a freak accident and wont happen again, but just incase, any suggestions?
I have a BT-850 bluetooth headset, and everything works perfectly but every time I turn the headset off for charging and then back on, I have to go to bluetooth settings, delete the partnership, press the button on the headset for the Wizard to find it, enter the 0000 password, tick on Hands free and tap Finish. It is a PAIN IN THE ARSE TO DO THIS EVERYTIME!!
If I turn the Wizard off completely and reboot, the headset still works. The problem happens when I turn the headset off and back on only.
Is there a way around this?
TIA
hmmm.... i also have the 850, and aside from having to use BTaudio to force it to be a stereo headset, i havent encountered that problem.
have u tried just opening it up and pressing the universal button on the headset?? that usually instantly connects me to my phone.
Hmm are we talking about the same headset? Mine is not stereo!
Attached is a picture of it.

BTAudio pumps system sound (including music) via bluetooth headset profile, as opposed to A2DP to a stereo headset.
So when you turn on your headset, can you press the call-answer button to try and initiate the connection? That is what I do with my Itech S38.
I think my headset is defective. After reassociating, it works perfectly when I press the call/end button on it. The problem is only when I turn it off and back on. I hate to go driving and have to reassociate it when I forgot to do it before jumping into the car...

When you turn your headset off, and back on, then press the call/end button, does it reassociate?
Solved!!!
By a casuality I turned the headset on and kept the call button pressed. It started to blink the red and blue lights rapidly. I then deleted the association on the Wizard and started a search for BT devices. After some seconds it found the headset but with a headset icon (before, every time it detected the headset, it had an arrow or something like that) I then added it and now it works perfectly. When I turn it off and back on, I press the call button and it reassociates alone and opens voice dial. AMAZING!!!!
Thanks for the help,

Hi,
I just bought a used Trinity a few weeks back, and I'm still playing around with it. I've got a question (searched the forums + read the manual with little results).
How do you switch between the wired headset and the internal speaker?
Currently, from my setup (I'm using AXL's 3.0.6 rom), the sound doesn't immediately switch from speaker -> headset unless I put the phone in standby and then turn it back on again. This will cause some problems if I happen to be listening to music (I use an adapter), and then an incoming call comes in... the phone is then totally useless unless I also happen to be carrying my wired handsfree kit....
Please tell me that this is not the normal mode of operation...
opposite
I've got the opposite problem, I cant switch from the speaker to the wired headphones, I thought it would have done it automatically, but nothing....how did u get urs to work?
I couldn't get it to work. However, I've mastered the quick art of turning the phone off, pulling out the adapter, and waiting for the ring to turn the phone on again... sometimes it still doesn't switch back to internal speaker mode, which irritates me and my caller.
From what I read, it's a hardware thing, and I'm too lazy to get it replaced currently, so I'll wait till it's totally broken and then replace it.
I didn't want to open yet another Polaris bluetooth problems but none were like mine.
I have the O2 Orbit 2 and I had bluetooth mute problems which were usually resolved with soft reset, I think that ever since I installed HTC's official bluetooth mute fix the mute problems got worse.
Every couple of calls or when I plug something to the mini usb (ear phone, charging, data, etc') my bluetooth is muted, the connection is established and I think I do hear through it but with extremely low volume (less then a whisper, more like back ground noise) the mute almost never fixes itself, it goes on even if I flash with a different ROM!!, what fixes it is playing with turning on and off the connection to the headset while in call or, while in call pluging and removing the wired headset, once it's back, it usually stays ok until (randomly) when I plug something to the usb, at first I though it will never work again (flashing something like 10 different roms...) but this fix is less then convenient, again, sadly the official fix doesn't help.
Anyone knows the return policy to O2 from Germany? I live at Israel so I think it might be a problem...
Same problem for me.
After the original fix, my bluetooth headset is always mute.
I have ordered a new original HTC M200 headset. I hope it will work............
Original M200 arrived today.
Don't work. Always mute.
I have tried to uninstall the original fix without any resultate.
Did you get yours to work?
You can try the on/off trick, I usually call my voicemail when the mute starts and then goto options and turn handsfree off, then again turn it on, sometimes it works after 4-5 tries sometimes after 2-3 minutes...
Sometimes the voice comes back in slow motion!!, I thought at first that it was garbled, but once I have a voice mail of a woman who talked fast so when the voice came back in slow motion she sounded like a very low voice slow talking man.
no, don't work on any headset......
It's a hardware problem ??
Hey guys...just wondering if you guys found a solution to this problem. I have this problem with my touch pro. The A2DP works, but for some reason handsfree through bluetooth is muted and I can't unmute. Hope you guys found a fix and can help me out.
