bluetooth problem - URGENT!

Hey u guys! Ive got a major problem on my tytn. I have a Crc's 10.something last ROM (WM 6.1) and a big BT problem. Ive got it "on" in the comm manager, "on" in windows, both beam options on and that option "allow other devices to see me". Well the problem is that the other devices can only see me if I have the PDA on! I mean, if it is in standby mode, other devices can't find me! It becomes a big problem when I turn on my BT headset and it cant find the phone =(. Is there a way to solve this? maybe editing something on the registry?

try installing schaaps config and turning off all the power save settigns

nothing m8. No can do! everybody else can find their Hermes in standby mode?
anyone know a registry tweak for this?

Solved by removing those saving power options in advanced config

Quit spamming the forums.

actually it didn't work. the bt doesn't go off when I put the device in standby, it takes about 3 or 4 secunds to turn it off... anyway I don't know what to do...help

Have you tried reflashing? I'm using 10.8 and it has no problems at all when it is in standby and a call comes in, or I start a call from the headset while the phone is still in standby.
If it worked briefly by changing the power settings, try doing that, then delete and recreate the partnership before doing anything else, that might work more reliably.

Yes, i already flashed 3 times! But all the ROMS come with power tweaks! My radio rom is 1.48.00.10 e I dont know if it has anything to do with... Its only the BT problem, i can receive calls and messages, everything works! Im using 10.8 either!

another thread!
you are a kind of hopless my friend
whenever you get any problem on your device, and before you try to understand what kind of problem you have, you open your mouth speechlessly, and you go directly "Hermes Mobile 6" instead of "Hermes Accessories" to post a new thread and ask a very sweet sweet question
Advice: UPGRADE -or whatever you may call it- to Nokia, SE, Sagem, Motorola or any non WM based device and forget about all these problems

That's the way it is - if it in standby, BT is off.
No fixes, patches or anything will sort it as that's just the way it is.
Sorry!

Im not sure thats right because I also have an HTC Prophet and Wizard and they can both be discoverable on standby mode! If it wasn't a possibility then why should the blue led blink in standby mode?

Feel free to disbelieve me and waste your time searching for a solution.
You asked, and I answered.
What you do with the answer is up to you.

i now see this is an all hermes issue that hasnt yet been fixed.
Although there are some registry tweaks. Does anyone know of a good one to force the BT to stay on even in suspend mode?

Is there a freeware to turn off/on phone radio on schedule?

say if I want to turn off phone radio from 9PM to 8AM, but keep Dash on to use as a PDA. .. Thanks.

Write a Mortscript to do it.

ehh, that's a bit too difficultf or me..

I think Don'tForget will do what you are wanting.
You can get it from http://dashapps.googlepages.com

Thanks. I tried Don't Forget. But it crashed when it tries to switch to Flight mode.

I will write you up one this weekend and post it here for you.
What times do you want it to switch the radio off and what time to turn it back on?

Bupahs, that's so nice of you. Can you set it to from 9PM to 8AM? It's just a text script, right? So I can modify it later? Thanks!

I think this should fit the bill nicely http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Communications/SleepWell-32308.shtml

There's a pair of programs i use(d). Both by the same company. One will schedule automated events (alarms, shut-off, etc) and the other will record macros.
Essentially you record a macro (choose start at home screen) and work your way into comm manager as if you normally would, and this device will remmeber what you did.
Next you would set an autorun in the second program.
A few things i have noticed..
Doesn't function perfectly when starting in LOCK mode, so you have to fake an unlock by pressing the unlock key and Z, then just press the HANGUP button to make sure it is on the home screen
You have to leave time considering for LAG with your phone, i would give it a good couple of seconds more than it actually takes for each step to make sure it doesnt mess anything up....realize that it isnt remembering your destination, just your keypresses and pauses...
Program has a VERY AKWARD and barely legible font, so trust it!
The auto-run program comes packed with a bunch of automatically programmed alarms and events, so delete them when you install
The names of these programs are:
MacroRecorder and AutoFlight ...both are by CyberHorse i believe

Personally I like a good simple and small foot print Mortscript. Why install two programs to do what a 5k script will do?

Thanks Evi1d33d. This one works great. The only minor problem is the Edit dialog doesn't like my font. Most messages are truncated.

Off topic but does anyone know a free app that let you schedule when the phone turns on/off?
I think it's almost impossible since the phone isn't running anything when it's off.

Sleepwell is great, however, I guess I'm missing something....
I can define the hour to turn on airplane mode... how about turn OFF airplane mode? How this software knows when I want my phone back? I couldn't find any settings to it, or am I missing something
I think I got the picture... you define one setting to turn off, and then define another setting to turn on. Is it? Am I right?
Regards.

How to enable proximity sensor when bluetooth is paired with headset

My bluetooth headset is paired with my TP2 at all times, but a lot of the time I don't use it, rather I hold the phone to my ear the conventional way. I noticed when the phone is paired with a bluetooth headset and I answer without using the headset, when I move the phone close to my ear the screen will not turn off by itself, thus the proximity sensor is disabled.
My question is how do I enable the proximity sensor to turn the screen off WHILE a bluetooth headset is paired?
Thanks!

There you go.

With this cab installed and my Tilt2 paired to my BT deck in my car, I could no longer pickup incoming calls. As soon as I uninstalled it, the problem went away. Not sure what changes it makes, but it does resolve one issue, but possibly creates another...

Must be conflicting with some sort of software you have. It works perfectly on mine.

There seems to be a problem with this application. While it performs admirably for the purpose it was created for, it seems to have some side effects.
1) When you start the Task Manager application (Dot Fred's), it just freezes. You can never see the list of processes in the task manager as long as this program is in memory.
2) I have a suspicion that it might be the cause of a higher than usual battery drain.

You seem to be right with the Task Manager application freezing when loading. That's very weird. I haven't noticed much difference in the battery drain but it looks like I will be uninstalling this due to the problem with task manager. I also hard reset my phone yesterday and after installing a few different cab files (such as this one), TomTom was unable to install. You would think enabling the proximity sensor when a bluetooth headset is paired would be a simple registry edit.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

1)Your right about Dot Fred's task manager app it does freeze when this app is on. I will look into that
2) I suppose but to be honest the app is only about 25 lines of code and all it does it check if your on the phone and if you are then enable proximity sensor. so i don't think it would be that noticable.... Has anyone else noticed significant battery drain
Ok so now that i answered your questions can you please answer mine. Where did you get that cab you posted above? Thanks

I got from somewhere around here. I'm assuming you are asking me about it becuase of the Title of the CAB. I modify the titles of all my CABs before installing them on my device. Makes it easier for me to keep track of it.
I'm sorry... didn't mean to take away any credit from you. Can you send me your original CAB so I can replace the one I have posted here with it, or better yet, just send me a link to your thread and I'll post it there.
Cheers

BT doesn't work currently on the RHOD. Hopefully soon, just don't hold your breath.
This isn't meant to replace WinMo at this stage. Read, have fun with it, read some more... Pretty much every single major issue has been reported.

..........

I want to contribute to this thread, I am a longtime user of Android on the TP2, I donated to the project when we got sound working.
Basically, I am keeping my fingers crossed for bluetooth to be the next working feature. I can get by without the camera, and the power management, for me at least is fine because I can plug my phone in all the time.
However, my job requires me to be on a bluetooth headset a lot, especially while driving, so that is my only hangup for not using Android 24/7 .

I will reiterate.
This isn't meant to replace WinMo at this stage (maybe never). Don't expect it to be able to.

I have more issues with WinMo than I do with Android, it has replaced WinMo for me personally. The only time I run WinMo is if I need a hands free device.

When it's fixed? Until someone with the knowledge steps up and takes the time to troubleshoot it...
Problem is, devs are just like us - they want to work on things that interest them. So until BT is a priority for a dev, it won't get a lot of attention. Seems a lot of focus right now is on framebuffer/graphics performance and battery life (panel init).
There was a lot of work on the camera as well, not sure where that stands - someone was able to get a functional preview on their phone tho.
Basically if you don't have the knowledge to fix it, don't ask when it's going to be fixed. These things don't just happen... Someone has to work at it to get it up and running.

New XDAndroid user, first time poster,
I've been searching through all these threads like mad, and I've discovered that there is NOT, nor is there likely ever to be, a BT working build for Rhodium. I get that, and view the XDAndroid builds as a godsend anyway. Android kicks WinMo's ass, BT or no.
I've also found that there's a buggy headset workaround (that I haven't gotten working yet) but I plan to keep trying. My question is (and I keep searching the threads but I can't find it answered) - does the headset workaround let you use a wired headset to make phone calls? I mean can I both hear and speak through the headset?
Thanks!

Kinda OT for this thread, but try it out - let us know if it does work. I want to say it does, but I don't have a wired headset to test with.
I also never meant to give the impression that BT will never work. Just that it's not actively being worked on (to my knowledge) and won't really get the attention it deserves until a lot of the other work going on right now settles down. It's one of those things, devs work on what they want to work on... sure it sounds selfish but they're doing this for their own personal interest - not because someone else really wants the feature.
So that's the unfortunate truth. Until a dev takes an interest in fixing BT, it's not going to get fixed. Either you can gripe about it not working (which really isn't useful, and I'm not saying you are or you're the only one complaining....), or jump in and try to help!

Doesn't sound selfish at all. Devs needs to do what they're interested in doing. Devs donate their time and skills for fun and for the good of this community, not for some guy who complains that they didn't magically turn his winmo phone into a fully functional android. You want android, buy an android. Anyone who complains about the lack of BT doesn't get this.
Still can't get the damn headset working, but that's my issue. I'll keep reading and working on it.

if you want the headset to work, put "snd.force_headset=X" into the startup file and replace the x with a 1 for the usb headset and a 2 for the 3.5mm headset. After that, go to you phone in wm and call your voice mail with the headset in the phone. While still in the call, boot into android. It should work for music but i haven't tested calling. Unfortunately, if you do this, then the speaker wont work.

Thanks kdub! I've been trying this with 3.5mm headphones, but can't seem to get it working. What's weird is, every time I go back to the startup.txt the snd.force_headset=2 line is gone, and I know I put it within the quotes.
It may have something to do with the advanced settings I put in when I boot XDAndroid. The startup.txt also seems to be different depending on those features, so maybe it rewrites it or something?

If you use the startup utility, it will rebuild your startup.txt every single time. I think there's a checkbox somewheres in there to enable a manual startup.txt...

Ah, I suspected as much. Will report back if I get this thing working...

Success! Thanks everyone. By the way, by using this workaround and a cheap piece of hardware called a Bluetooth Adapter (Cardo BTA II), I was able to get Bluetooth on my Rhodium with XDAndroid running. Awesome!
Edited to clarify - the headset workaround DOES work both ways, so you get audio out and audio in.

Ha, I guess those that really need BT now have a workaround... even if it does involve an additional piece of hardware, haha. Seem actual BT is just around the corner (no promises )

Sounds good but on my rhod100_de i'm not able to activate bluetooth. When i hit it in the settings it only grays out, says "Activating..." for some time and than goes back to previous view (white text and not checked). So there seems to be a little more work for me . I think in about a half year we have a real good android running on our Devices and can kick winmos ass

@Bieka
Nobody said that BT is working. He used an "Klinke Bluetooth Adapter". ^^

Playing a random sound file

Hi, this is hard to describe with out the sound file, but basically my phone when turning on plays a sound at random, it lasts for about 1sec and has 4 syllables if you get my meaning a bit like 1 ...2-3-4 or Do De-dah-Do (this isn't a silly post I promise XD)
At first I thought it was a few programs I installed, someone told me it could the the THD pinball game, un-installed that but it is still there.
Has anyone else encountered a "similar" issue? It interrupts some programs or games and is very annoying and its beinging to drive me insane; at one point I thought it was malware or a virus so I McAfee scanned it in case (maybe there are other better alts but please suggest).
Oh, I will also add when this happens when looking at desktop the top menu bar sometimes goes green.
Any ideas? Please save my sanity.
kind regards

Instead of "random" you wanted to say "sporadic". Sound is still the same "tone" ?

Hi, yes I would probably say more sporadic than anything else and yes this sound is always the same, I never notice this in call though so I have no idea which app is trying to notify me; its notifying me to uninstall it when I find out what it is!

I found that certain motions with my handset made the phone do the 'get item' jingle...

Okay
Weird then, not sure what's doing it. I presume that you've looked at your BG processes?

Yep, had a look, cant really see anything. The randomness is the problem here; hence why its hard to isolate it...

Yeah, it's strange. I know it'll take awhile but it might be a good idea to look at any/all recently installed Apps and look at their Permissions. See if any of them say anything about making alerts, then force close them if they do and see if the issue persists.

Hi, this is hard to describe with out the sound file, but basically my phone when turning on plays a sound at random, it lasts for about 1sec and has 4 syllables if you get my meaning a bit like 1 ...2-3-4 or Do De-dah-Do (this isn't a silly post I promise XD)
At first I thought it was a few programs I installed, someone told me it could the the THD pinball game, un-installed that but it is still there.
Has anyone else encountered a "similar" issue? It interrupts some programs or games and is very annoying and its beinging to drive me insane; at one point I thought it was malware or a virus so I McAfee scanned it in case (maybe there are other better alts but please suggest).
Oh, I will also add when this happens when looking at desktop the top menu bar sometimes goes green.
Any ideas? Please save my sanity.
kind regards
EDIT: Posting here too as not sure if Q & A or General

Does it by any chance happen when your phone is sitting over your wallet?
I was getting the same sound randomly and drove me nuts. Then realized that it's the NFC kicking in when the phone is near my "blink" chipped credit card.

i'm sure i read a post exactly like this and it turned out it was nfc, make sure it's turned off and see if it continues.

Nfc or perhaps the roaming sound is on?

Sorry for late reply and thank you so much for your input.
Yes people, it is the NFC! The phone resides in a wallet and my works id card on the other side. When I read the phone I fold the cover over and hence this sound. Do I feel stupid? Yes 100% I only hope that maybe some people can learn from my inherent stupidity and thus the madness that was slowly but surely setting in.
