Bluetooth manager doesn't start until I soft reset

Hi all,
I have a strange problem: bluetooth manager works fine after a soft reset. I can my PPC the whole day and it will always start normally (read: the screen that shows BT shortcuts shows up). The problem occurs when I turn off the phone over night (flight mode). The next day I can't get the BT manager to show the shortcuts screen - BT can be switched on and off but neither the BT manager or the BT settings screen will show up (there is no error message!!!). After I do a soft reset everything starts working...
Has anyone come across this kind of a problem in the past? I couldn't find anything using search on this forum...
My device info is (DutchRetail ROM):
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
Ext ROM: 1.40.556 WWE
I have tried uninstalling almost all extra software that I have installed after a hard reset but the issue is still here.
Thanks for all suggestions on what else I can try.

Do either of you have Goodlink software on your device?

same problem no goodlink
Same problem but no goodlink software
I also get another funny problem where sometimes I go to connect to my bluetooth access point from my phone and it just has the little pie icon saying it's doing something, then it stops and it hasn't connected (the connection icon stays the same) and I can't make any sort of connection. It then does this everytime I try to connect.
I don't know how i fix it, but I combination of many soft resets various flight mode turn ons and fiddling it eventually works. It's very frustrating and it's happened on every software version. Right now i"m running 2.04.00. I have a CDMA from Telecom NZ running radio HA_01_151 right now (but I've tried other radios).
Somebody else had this problem I noticed but nobody replied to his posts.

I've got the same problem I hope someday that someone makes a fix for it. I run the XDA IIs BlueAngel 1.40.00 Asian O2 ROM WWE. =/.

Same problem here - only solution I had was to go into settings/memory and then stop all programs running - then the bluetooth manager appears without the need for a softboot..
Pain in the arse. :!:

I do and I have the same problem. I've been suspecting that it may have something to do with that because when I reset and I can start the manager just fine before I start Goodlink, but after I start goodlink it's a pain. Once, I tried to start BT manager then it didnt... i forgot all about it then suddenly some 11 hours later it just popped up by itself. Goodlink had been running continuously.
Any ideas???

I sometimes have the same effect.
What I usually do to resolve it (without soft reset):
- I installed PocketNav (kills programs which run in the background)
- I select 'Close all but Ative' in PocketNav
Then the Bluetooth Manager works again.
Hope it helps.

This is due to memory limitation in WM2003SE. When it finds that the memory is not sufficient it wont run Bluetooth Manager or Wifi. I had this problem a lot until i have shifted to WM5 which has more than 100 mb when the device starts. I guess that is why M$ has built WM5 for that reason and also for persisten storage of course.

The "memory limitation" is indirectly the problem. The Goodlink, which is more than three times the memory hog as any other 3rd party app out there, is the direct problem. I could write a college discertation on the amount of bugs in this awful software. And yes, it is good for push email...but at the expense of everything else that is good about these multimedia devices we own. The typical "close-when-you-tap-the-X" software utilities don't shut down Goodlink on my device even though they successfully shut down every other software I own (over 40 titles). So I have to use MemMaid to kill its process. But Goodlink will restore itself in a matter of minutes as it ventures out to the server looking to synch mail, calendar, contacts. If there was ever a reason to bring back public hangings, it would be for the Goodlink windows OS development team.

I don't really see any issues with Goodlink eating my memory. Then again, I've converted from a strictly fun user to a strictly business user so the whole gaming and multimedia thing doesn't quite do it for me anymore.

Steiner,
I tried PocketNav to see if it would truly close GoodApp.exe. Although it does seem to shut the application down, the 6+MB exe still is open in memory. Using MemMaid it shows that it never really closes.

I also didn't have the Goodlink software installed . My solution to the problem was: I installed the Sprite Backup software and set it to automatically restart my PPC @ 6 am after creating a backup. So in a way, this problem was very benifical to me - I now have a fresh backup of all the software every morning and the device reboots every morning without my intervention (no BT errors, no WiFi errors, etc).

Problems after ROM update - HELP

Hi
I've been running my Jasjar for a while now with no problems until a few days ago. Then I thought I'd flash the ROM to the latest version from the iMate website, also unlock it using Buzz Lightyear's unlocking solution.
Unlocking and then flashing the ROM appeared to go smoothly and, once I'd downloaded the latest Activesync (4.1.0, build 4841), I was once again able to connect to the Jasjar and everything was hunky dory once more - until I tried to reinstall some programs...
Basically, when I try to install Tomtom navigator, also some other programs I use for work (including SQL CE from the MS website) the install appears to start OK but then - depending on the program - it either crashes and wants to report a problem to M$, or it just vanishes from the PC screen. However some other programs, such as M$' remote display control, install OK!!
So, I tried it from my laptop - exactly the same result!
I've tried trawling through the registry on my PC and deleting any suspect entries, but this has made no difference.
All the above programs that are failing to install were running fine before the ROM update.
Current settings info, after the ROM update, is:
Rom version: 1.30.76 WWE (02/20/06)
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
HELP!

Problems with Room, Bluetooth, Wifi, overall System Restore needed
Good evening .
I have been trying to solve a problem that i have with my o2 xda. The problem is that the Bluetooth device is not working, it won’t even start, and I tried to turn it on from the communications manager but nothing. I tried to turn it on from the settings/communications/Bluetooth/turn Bluetooth make it visible to devices, but also nothing.
It turns on when I soft reset the device a few times, than sometimes it comes back on with the Bluetooth on, blue light flashing, but I’m unable to get it to pair with any devices. Sometimes my laptop will pick up the signal for a few seconds, but it is not able to sink with device.
I have tried everything I could think of, even have done some hard resets but nothing.
Someone told me to do an Artemis reset. So I downloaded the 4.02 with cube zip that I found around this website, but since I have never done such a procedure, in fact this is my first time with windows mobile, so I didn’t want to mess it up.
I read in this forums that third party applications can cause sometimes this problems because of driver contamination , my device did have lots of extra apps so that could be the problem .
In any case I’m not an expert, not even close especially with this system, so any help / suggestions / diagnostics / instructions, will be greatly appreciated.
The device is an o2 xda with built in gps, running windows mobile 6.1.
ROM Athemis Touch 4.02 WWe
Rom date : 4/8/8
Radio Version : 03.08.90
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.52
CPU: OMAP850
Speed: 201MHz
Ram: 64MB
Flash Size 128Mb
Data Bus 16bits
Storage size 44.74MB
And if the best solution is to do this artemis reset, i will really appreciate some instructions on how to exactly do this task, and if there is any known issues of this procedure killing the phone? , since sometimes with this types of "resets / flashes” this type of devices sometimes dies! So any help will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

hi, have anyone schema arte100 (htc p3300)? thanx.

(Solved) IMEI changed to NILL (nothing) after flashing

I've a weird thing after flashing to the ROM 0.75 Full of bepe.
After some configuring and installing programs and 2 soft resets, the IMEI number was completely gone (Device information -> indentity). I found out because TomTom didn't recognize my map anymore.
It's not the ROM I think, because after flashing again the number is back to the original IMEI.
Have anyone seen this before?
Note: 99% sure that this has been caused by the McAfee Virusscan Enterprise 8.5i, module Access Protection. When I turn the VirusScan off, the IMEI stays after flashing.

which programs did you install, I also use bepe 0.75, no problems so far.

This happens to me every other soft reset
IMEI and device serial number both turn blank. Installed and registered programs (like hebre support) go into inactive mode due to registration failue. So I soft reset again and again until it works (2-3 time in average).
I use Indigo full but I guess it's common to all WM6 and has to do with some marginal timing issues with the hardware, coupled with some new firmware (WM6) that reads the data from flash too soon.

same happens to me in pdaviet rom but with bepe works fine

I install the programs which are in my signature, but the device hang once. I did a soft reset.

See 1st post.

TomTom traffic
Hallo stingray,
your TomTom original traffic works on this bepe Rom?
Greats Remo

Hmmm.... How does McAfee have anything to do with IMEI? I had this problem but have Trend AV SW on my PC....

Stingray,
are you sure it's McAfee?
I'm also using McAfee Virusscan Enterprise 8.5i with Access Protection (I had the Traffics Subscription issues)
Could this be causing the Device ID to change with some ROMS? IMEI is one of the things used to generate device ID isn't it?
This has got to be too coincidental to be ignored....but then again I flashed my phone about 3 times the other night, and thinking about it, it was on my laptop with no Mcafee OAS......Only mUn TE keeps working TT device ID

Activesync problem

I had to soft reset my orbit the otherday and since then have been unable to sync with my pc.
I have tried re installing activesync and soft resetting the orbit with no joy. when I select activesync on the orbit I get the message displayed in the attached jpeg.
I would rather not do a hard reset as some of the programs I use (particularly DrugDoses) use a device key for registration which is changed whenever the device is hard reset.
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Forgot to add, I am using XP pro and my other WM6 device has no problems so the problem must be on the orbit.
ROM: 3.4.206.2 WWE

Same problem
I have the same problem since installing B&B 4.3 GER on my device. I should mention that I am using Vista.
Ideas, anybody?

I had the same problem when i was running B&B 4.3 whilst using xp. At first i thought it was a bad connection from the phone to the mini usb cable (as i manange to get connected whilst bending the wire). I managed to get a connection after 2 days of trying. I then reflashed the phone with a different ROM & all was well again. For some reason some people are affected by this whilst others arent. No idea why, but there is a conflict somewhere which was resolved once i changed to a different ROM. Hope this helps. But dont dispair cos you will eventually get a connection & then you can reflash.

On PPC, You could try looking at connections, USB connection and make sure advanced usb is disabled. May help.
