Bluetooth won't turn off in Comm Manager and more... - HTC Excalibur

Hi Guys,
I'm using the latest 3VO build and I just received a Bluetooth dongle for my laptop that I configured to connect with my Dash. I've established a successful connection between my Dash and laptop, so I can use ActiveSync and send/receive files using BT.
But the two problems I'm still having are these:
1) If I try to turn off BT from Comm Manager, my Dash just stalls (the little circular thingy in the middle of the screen just keeps turning and turning to no effect...)
2) In Bluetooth Explorer: I see that it always stays in "Searching..." mode. What's up with that?
Any help is always appreciated!
Btw, I love this ROM and love my Dash.

If you go through the 3vo thread you will notice that some users have been experiencing issues with BT, post on the thread or PM ookba and see if he has found a fix for this

I just installed the 3VO ROM on my S620 and noticed the same problem with the comm manager when trying to turn off BT, but I also found that the ccomm sliding panel on the home screen works perfectly. Just two clicks up from the clock panel then click right until you see the Bluetooth icon and press the action button to toggle on/off.

Activesync keeps restarting

Just upgraded to WM5 himalaya port - thanks to everyone for their hard work!
I also added magic button and that's when I noticed that active sync keeps popping up on my device. It doesn't wake the device up, but every few minutes the active sync icon appears.
I have looked in the active sync options but I cant seem to find anything that would show how to turn it off, and schedule is greyed out.
Happens with both BT on and with BT off. Craddled or not. So far WiFi is off too.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Peter
Also I noticed that once I enabled bluetooth..activesync disconnected from the PC (in the cradle) and tried to connect via BT. I see nothing under BT options. How can I disable AS over BT?

How do I turn off the GPS on an Orbit?

I've got the left amber light flashing after using VisulaGPSce and can't find any manual way of turning off the GPS.... I would have expected it to be under comms manager or the GPS app in settings - but no!
I can switch it off by starting copilot and then exiting it, but I'd rather be able to have some manual control - anybody got any ideas?
Hmm i dont have that problem, any Software using the GPS Device switches it on when starting and off again on exit. A manual control like the bluetooth Radio would be nice though.
I think, the problem is, that yor VisualGPS isn't closes.
Look at you taskmanager, if it is open.

A few BT Niggles

Hi Guys,
Ive got a few BT niggles which im sure are easy enough to get round when someone starts getting some custom roms out but i cant seem to find a way around them at the minute, issues are:
- When phone is in standby (aka screen off) and you try and make a call via bluetooth car kit it turns phone and on says please unlock before making a call, if i turn the screen on before making the call it goes through.
- When you disconnect from car kit aka turn the car off etc it comes up with a notification and says its been disconnected and to hold the phone to your ear, this doesnt go away until you press dismiss.
None of these problems are show stoppers by any means but they are annoying when you just want to get in / out the car and making calls etc, aka i cant just get in the car and make a call, i have to turn the screen on first, and i cant get out the car and carry on as ive got to press dismiss on the screen as it keeps the phone switched on (screen on) until you press dismiss so i could accidentally press buttons etc plus will wear battery down.
If anyones managed to work these problems out then please let me know!
Cheers

Voice Command V1.6
Hi Guys,
I also have a problem with bluetooth... well voice command.
I had the TYTN 2 with WM6.1 working perfectly with VC 1.6 and so naturally assumed that TP2 would be the same, sadly I was wrong :-(
It doesnt even try to use the software, bluetooth connects perfectly but I cannot initiate VC with the usual hardware button.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I had the same problems - in an Audi A6 for what it's worth. On my TP2 had both a PIN device lock and the option to show owners info when switched on.
Disabled both of these, and it now works perfectly in the car. Not quite sure which was causing the problem and may reinstate PIN followed by Show Owners Info to try to isolate.
TP2 Brilliant phone - have been using a TyTn2 for the last 18 months or so which I also thought was exceptional.
desperately seeking BT DUN
Hi all,
I am missing to be able to connect my TP2 via Bluetooth to my Nokia mobiles (N73, 5800) which do not provide PAN or NAP profiles but only DUN.
I need to use the SIM-card in the Nokia for the data-only connection whilst using the SIM-card in TP2 for phone-only connection.
I tried all the tricks in this and other forums. Unfortunately the most promising approach ("New installation file for Bluesoleil drivers! " - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251995) doesn't let me download the file.
Who got it to work? Who knows how to enable in the TP2?
thank you, Franky

WM 6.5 and wifi

am i the only one that having this problem.
Everytime i use PHm registry editor to keep wifi on when device is in sleep or lock mode.. after 20mins or so my wifi shuts off and never comes back on to i go to the wifi menu and select my wif again
Is it PHM or just 6.5?
it is a winMo 6.5 issue!! and it's very annoying
when my tp2 gets out of sleep mode, the antenna icon (top of the screen) doesn't appear anymore and i have to go back to the comm manager, turn wifi off, and then turn it on again!!!
(i upgraded with the official 6.5rom, non-branded)
i knew it wasnt just me.. i also upgraded to the official 6.5rom non-branded everything else works fine just no WiFi hack
There's a thread explaining this new wifi behaviour here:

Just got Tilt 2 yesterday...Error saying "Can't turn on bluetooth"

I just picked up my tilt 2 yesterday and up until right now it's been great. I turned off my bluetooth last night before I went to bed, and when I try to turn it on now it gives me an error saying, "Can't turn on bluetooth". I'm trying to turn it on via the Wireless Manager.
Can somebody please help? This is extremely annoying.
I don't know if I understand you well, but here is what I think you could do:
tap on the top bar and you will get the notification manager. On top you will see a bar with your carrier name. On the right of that bar there is an icon that shows the strenght of your carrier. Tap that icon and you will end up in the communication manager. There you should be able to turn BT on or off.
Hope this is helpfull.
regards, Kuzibri

Thanks for the response. This is what I tried doing, and when I try to enable bluetooth I get that error. I'm thinking unfortunately I may have to hard reset already
sorry I could not help you, but I would try several soft resets before a hard reset.
That's okay, you tried!! I tried about 10 soft resets. It looks like I have no choice.
good luck and I hope that the hard reset will do the job for you!!
OOPS, before I forget: do you use RamSweeper? If yes, then this is the problem and not your TP2. Please let me know if you use this program and I will tell you how to avoid this BT problem.
No I do not use RamSweeper. I actually just did a hard reset and bluetooth works fine now. Very weird.
Since turning off bluetooth I've installed SlingPlayer, vibra switch (to turn phone on vibrate fast), and thats all.
OK, nice to hear and good luck. Maybe either Slingplayer or vibra switch is the cause of your problem. Maybe its good to try this out before running into the same problem again.
Thank you for the help. I just installed SlingPlayer and bluetooth still works. I'm going to wait on the vibra switch software because it isnt 100% needed with the Tilt 2. I can always just push the volume down until it's on vibrate.
Thanks again!!
