Hey fellas..
Whenever I sync any bluetooth device to my phone, it periodically turns on my display on my Samsung Omnia (it turns off normally on its own). As soon as I turn off the bluetooth device or disconnect with it, then my display stays off. My bluetooth stays enabled during all this testing FYI.
Has anybody ran into this issue before?
Thanks in advance
why would that be an issue?

I have my bluetooth headset on and my screen keeps turning on every few minutes. Its any bluetooth device being linked to my phone.
Bumping my question back to Page 1.
you mean... it lights up every now and again while a bluetooth device is connected? or only while connecting to the device?
With my bluetooth headset connected the screen turns on every few minutes and it appears that the time inbetween the screen turning on is identical. I think the headset is just checking with the phone to keep connected, which turns the screen on.
When I synced via bluetooth to my desktop, the screen turns on whenever I do anything over bluetooth between the computer and the phone.
Is there any registery settings that I might try to prevent bluetooth from turning my screen on? ever?
Same thing here mate. Only my Touch Pro turns on the display (and keeps it on no matter what) whenever some BT accesory is connected, whether it be the carkit or the headphones. Pressing the power button causes the screen to turn off only to turn on by itself a second later. When BT accessory is disconnected everything works normal. Oh and I have bluetooth on all the time on the phone (never turn it off), but it only does this with smth connected. I suppose it's some kind of keepalive, but it annoys the hell outta me cause I can't listen to music w/o draining my battery and even starting some programs by accidental screen presses. So if anyone has a solution to keep the screen off it'd be more than welcome.

an issue;
under wm5 my wizard automatically connected with my headset when it was in the neighborhood. since i use the roms with wm6 it's no longer automatic and must turn off and on the headset for a connection....
is there a solution.....
I have noticed this problem, too, with WM6. Couple things I have found that work are:
Turning on the bluetooth on your phone, before you turn the headset on. My Jawbone Aliph will only connect automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already turned on, before I turn it on.
Double pressing or holding down a button on your headset. With my BlueAnt Car Kit, if I double press the the answer button, it automatically connects to my phone, which is way easier then having to go on my phone and turn on the headset from the bluetooth settings. Just try variations of double pressing or pressing and holding to see if that creates an automatic connection.
Hope that helps!

thanks for the effort to help, unfortunaly the work around you wrote are things i also used in the past but isn't it possible to fix this?
Howdy
I have noticed that turning off the screen (either via an app or by a brief press of the power button) also kills any Wifi connections that are active. Is there any way around this? Thanks.
Pressing the power button put the device to sleep/standby/suspend mode. Its not just Wifi, even the Bluetooth, GPS and everything but the phone part goes 'off' to save power. But why do you need WiFi to be active when in StandBy mode?

Carty..
are you sure that you are toggling the screen and not turning off the device compleatly?
all pda's i've had turn off when i press the powerbutton
but there are programs which toggle the screen and dont stop my
music from playing

Because I have VoIP set up and if the phone goes in to standby, it will still accept incoming normal calls, but not VoIP calls.

It's not powering the device off completely, a longer push of the power button is needed for that.
But, I had a setting in "Power" enabled, which would "Turn off the device" if it wasn't used for a period of time, and this was also killing Wifi when it was triggered.
Audio manager for ppc has resolved this problem. As far as i know its the only one that doesn't stop even if you press the power button. it keeps playing in background. Maybe someone can understand how they did it and post it. I also want my wifi no to be turned off when i press the power button since it doesn't reconnect to my access point. i have to do it manually
Regards
theres a way to turn off the screen, alot of the roms here have it in the shortcut folder.... and it doesnt kill stop anything like wifi bluetooth or WMP....
Since you know it why don't you mention it

I myself won't be leaving Wifi turned on now. I did some tests re battery life and found battery drain was just too severe if Wifi was left on permanently.

I tried this, and in the ROM i'm using it did kill Wifi as well. Oh well
yeah i feel you . the thing is, sometimes i download some mp3's over my WIZARD , and even if i don't the putton of the powering off, after a mintue ( depending on my power setting ) the device is switched off and WIFI is killed !
is there any cab to keep WIFI alive even tho the power button is get pressed ?
Hi,
I'm having the following problem with my HTC TP2
When I get into my car, my Sim is connected to the car through rsap.
All this works fine. But when I leave my car. The phone doesn't reconnect the Sim. Unless I push the power button of the phone right before I leave the car.
I did some testing myself and this is what I think is happening.
After a while of inactivity, the phone gets into standby mode.
(one of the energy options)
And apparently when it is in standby, The phone doesn't receive the "signal" coming from my car ,when I turn the engine off, that says: "Hey, I'm sending the Sim back to you Mr Phone, you can reconnect it now."
As you can imagine this is quite annoying because, every time I leave my car, I need to push the power button on the phone so it can receive this "reconnect-signal"
Also, turning the automatic standby off isn't a real option because of the power consumption.
So what I think I need (unless you guys have some better ideas.) is a program that turns my screen off after x time of inactivity.
(not only the backlight but the entire screen)
I don't know if anyone has experienced the same problem or can give me a solution.
Thx,

Here's another odd little niggly thing I've found about my Touch Pro.
I normally have the volume at about 90% all the time. When I get in my truck and the phone automatically connects to my bluetooth stereo, the volume on the phone suddenly changes to mute. I then have to up the volume back to it's normal level.
The volume will stay put from then on, even after disconnecting and reconnecting the A2DP....
...except.....
...if I have to reboot the phone for some reason. After the reboot, the first time it connects to the bluetooth stereo it mutes again.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Same problem with my elife e8
I connected my S6 via Bluetooth to my truck today (using Ford SYNC) and when I make a call the screen turns on and stays on. I can turn it off by hitting the power button, but this is very annoying, especially if the phone is in my pocket. I am coming from an LG G3 and this never happened. I searched for an answer and found some that would work with KitKat, but not Lollipop. I can't find any place on this phone related to Bluetooth calls and the screen.
Thanks,
Ed
