I have an HTC Fuze with the stock AT&T firmware. When I try to turn on the Bluetooth radio in the Wireless Manager or through the Control Panel applet, the wait icon shows up for a few seconds, disappears, and the Bluetooth radio stays off. No icon shows up either. A reset makes no difference, and I've tried both with the phone plugged into a power source and running on battery. Cycling the Airplane Mode setting also makes no difference.
I've successfully used Bluetooth in the past (a few weeks ago) and have paired my headset to it before. The Wifi radio does turn on and I can also get both 3G and EDGE data connections, depending on where I am.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Please can you help, I have had problems with my XDA2i using Tomtom 3. In order for it to work properly I need to turn the phone off whilst maintaining the use of Bluetooth to connect to my Bluetooth GPS.
The question I have is how to turn off the phone whilst maintaining the bluetooth turned On. I know how to turn the phone off using Turn On Flight Mode the problem is this turns off everything, Bluetooth and all!
I have read a post that to turn off the phone I just press the Hang up button for 3 secs, This idea doesn't seem to do anything.
If I turn on the Flight mode then try to turn on the Bluetooth, it says I must turn off flight mode which in turn turns on the phone!
Can you help
Cheers

Can't answer your question other than 1) don't understand why your Tom Tom won't work with the phone on 2) holding the red "end" button for 3 seconds will only disconnect you from GPRS connection.
Your Tom Tom should work with a BT headset, BT GPS and the phone radio on all at once.
Check your set-up and you'll find it works.
Tom Tom 3
I have the same issue if my phone rings whilst using Tom Tom it will stop the navigation system and I have to reset the XDA...I have found that seting flight mode on and then switching it off actually doesn't renable the phone just wifi and bluetooth the phone switches itself on when you make a call..
I thought that was the case, My XDA2i software must be bugged at it re-enables the phone if I do that.
My old XDA2 worked a treat, I just turned on Flight Mode, then Turned it off and the Bluetooth worked and the phone stayed off. To turn the phone on I went into the phone and chose settings it then prompted me for a "do you want to turn the phone on" question.
My New XDA2i doesn't do that, I turn on flight mode, then turn it off and all 3 (wirelss, Bluetooth and Phone) come back on.
If I play around with the XDA2i I can manage to get the phone to stay off but it is problematic.
Any Help?

Ok here is how to do it, ive just done it without having a problem.
1) Start Tomtom with it communicating to the Bluetooth GPS and Phone is on.
2) Whilst tomtom is running turn on flightmode (turning off all Wireless and Phone)
3) Go back into Tomtom and it should have lost its connection to BT you will see it hasn't disabled the GPS though!
4) Turn on BT in the Bluetooth Settings in the settings menu of the XDA2i
5) XDA2i will then pop up a message saying turn off flight mode first, try to close that popup and it will take several seconds whilst it closes the popup.
6) Hey presto the delay was caused by the XDA2i trying to turn on Wirelss with out the Phone.
7) You now have just wirelss on and not the phone.
Let me know if this works for you, it has for me each time.

So I just flashed the wife's excalibur with WM6.1, luckily she likes the upgrade, however I have an annoyance I have been unable to figure out.
Whenever the wireless lan is on and connected to my AP, the phone beeps (loudly) when it goes into sleep mode (turns off). I assume this is a notification that it has disconnected from the wireless network. How can I turn off the beep, or possibly change it to a more pleasing sound?
I looked through HKLM\Control Panel\Sounds, but didn't see an entry that made sense for WLAN disconnect.
TIA
BTW, I know how to turn off the auto-disconnect feature, its the beep I want to get rid of.
LG G6 on Android 7.0 ( I suspect this issue is not specific to this phone.) This happened to me like a year ago. Bluetooth in my car kept disconnecting and it had to do with me turning on some sort of feature where the phone keeps scanning for nearby Wi-Fi networks to notify me about. Of course as you drive your car around it periodically picks up a strong enough (nearby) networks. But I think it was doing it even without notifying me on the screen. Anyway, the setting was sort of buried but I eventually found where to turn it off and the bluetooth disconnect stopped.
So I replaced my phone with a new G6 because I switched providers from a GSM to a CDMA provider. I restored my apps and everything was working but then something changed and it started happening again. So I backed up the apps, factory reset, and restored just my bare minimum apps. Worked fine again. I didn't really add any apps that would affect this type of thing and then today I went for a walk and listened to an Audible book for about 45 min. Returned back and disconnected the headphone. About an hour later reconnected them and started listening to music and it started happening again. I have Wi-Fi Notification and Show Wi-Fi popup disabled in Advanced Wi-Fi and when this was happening driving around I can confirm Wi-Fi was turned off (I have a Llama event that automatically turned Wi-Fi off when I connect to my care Bluetooth)
Any ideas what is causing this issue?
I believe I determined the problem. I have a Pebble 2 watch. It was disconnected and while playing music over bluetooth, I went to reconnect it and for the first time I saw some message about allowing the app to turn on bluetooth (even though it was already on.) I enabled it and immediately lost my speaker bluetooth connection. So my guess is my watch app was repeatedly trying to connect to the watch every couple of minutes or so and each time that is what would cause the other bluetooth connection to disconnect. Maybe if I go into the watch app permissions and disable bluetooth toggle permissions that will prevent it from doing it when the watch is disconnected.
I have the 12GB RAM model ordered from OnePlus direct.
I have a TMO sim installed. It works great.
However when connected to wifi, it will periodically reset where I have to unlock the phone, wifi connection is lost and phone shows no sim. The LTE connection resumes but wifi remains disconnected. It will work fine like this until I reconnect to wifi then in seconds to a minute or so the process repeats. It's annoying AF as one can imagine. I turned off wifi calling but it still does it. Any ideas?
I'm on the latest build. I want to make sure I don't have a defective phone before I root, etc.
EDIT: This should have been posted in the questions section, can a mod move it?
Just an update. I thought this was solved by connecting only to 5GHz AC Wave2 APs with 80MHz channel width instead of 160. Then this AM it starts resetting. Both cell service and wifi go poof then cell service (LTE) comes back and the wifi radio is turned off. Turning the wifi radio back on will trigger it again sometimes in 10 seconds, sometimes after a few minutes. Very annoying!
Did you get this figured out?
Hi there,
I'm using my old Nexus 5 for navigation. Each time when the phone is going to standby, the bluetooth connection (tethering by another phone) get lost.
Is there a solution to avoid this?
Bluetooth timeout is one of the most common reasons Bluetooth is turned off without warning. By default, after about 10 minutes of being idle, your device will usually go into "standby" mode to conserve power. This turns the screen off and removes certain connections, like Bluetooth.
Is there anybody possibility to change the timeout? I can't find this option in developers options.
Guaranteed not to be found under Developer Options.
Not all devices will let you control when your Bluetooth turns itself off automatically.
Every smartphone or device is different when it comes to setting Bluetooth connections and connectivity preferences. You can usually find instructions on how to alter your Bluetooth online by searching for your phone model.
