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.

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?
Cheers

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.
Cheers

Hi ! I own a brand new Palm Treo 750V, unfortunately there seems to be something wrong with BT. Always when I try to activate BT it is not going to activate. Once out of 50 tries activates the BT, but will lose connection soon. Does anyone has a hint ? Would highly appreciate your comments. thanks dirk
I have the same problem when trying to connect to my Audi's build-in bluetooth phone. All my previous phones work, but the treo 750 seems to give some issues. Everytime it connects to the car for about 1-2 minutes and then it disconnects. The problem is that it wil connect and disconnect over and over and over... therefore setting off a really anoying beep. Hopefully this issue will be fixed with WM6.0
Had this too in the past. When you connect to your car just keep your screen active without keyguard activated.
Thats the way i connect to my car without any trouble.
When i connect the first time to my car and leave the car after a while and try to reconnect it again then often it doesn't connect anymore, but when the screen is active it connects all the time.
Also from time to time my bluetooth doesn't turn on ( on treo), seems like a bug and have to reset the device.
I am running L26 Kaiser Diamond V6, which is running great, except that I cannot connect to my wireless router. I have other HTC devices which are connecting ok, whereas my kaiser detects the network but will not connect.
I have upgraded the Radio to 1.65.20.29 and installed MSVC 1.6 ontop of L26 Diamond V6.
I have downgraded the radio, but this does not make any difference ...

I have a similar problem in that I can connect, but only get access to the network if the WLAN power setting is on "Best Performance". Does that setting also not work for you?
If that doesn't help, then more info could be useful. Do you get an ip address assigned if you're set on auto (dhcp)?
My problem is the same.
Coming from a Dutty Rom, loading hardSPL 3.29 and then moving to Laurentius V8 with radio 1.58.25.17 I can't connect to my home wireless lan. As with other roms this connection problem never was an item, I thought perhaps a stubborn byte could be the culprit. So I did hard reset the Kaiser and reinstalled the V8 twice.
Settings on handheld 'Best Performance'. Even removed the security keys from the wlan. No result. Strange, because many people don't have the slightest problem with it.
I have changed the setting to best performance, but it makes no difference, HTC is set to dhcp, I will try fixed IP and see if that makes any difference.
I have got a result ( not ideal ), the wireless connection now connects, but only when the radio is switched of (Phone) within comm manager. From this I would say that the problem lies with the Radio ROM / CAB part of this ROM, maybe Larentius could look into it.... I will try someother Radio version to see it we can resolve this...

Experimented with that already: No difference here.
I have also noticed that, if the Phone is switched on within in Comm Manager once the wireless connection has connected, then it remains ON. If the W/L is switched off and on again it does not connect. I will test further and report back
Sthpnz, try it like this, cause its works for me :-
Switch OFF phone
Switch ON Bluetooth
Switch ON Wireless
Switch ON Phone
ALL three, above, stay ON, until your pda goes into standby and you lose Wifi again.
I am running L26 Kaiser Diamond V8 and am able to connect to wlan easy enough, however when i connect to another wlan and then try to reconnect to my home hub at a later date it asks me to re enter my network key, tries to connect and never actually suceeds. It seems to forget the network key i constantly and tries to randomly connect through gprs??? I managed to find a way to do it by soft reseting my phone, the kaiser would then find the network on its own and connect after the network key is entered. Why it does this i don't know. I find that the radio that comes with this rom is the best i've used yet, but maybe this is its one flaw?
oh by the way the radio i'm using is 1.58.25.17
I have downgraded my Radio to 1.64.08.21, which appears to work better, if I change WiFi to best performance. However, it is now causing a problem with MS voice Command, so I will uninstall and reinstall MSVC to if I can keep this radio and MSVC working.

@isek: nope, the wlan will not connect using this recipe. Thinking about downgrading the radio. Report back later.
I'm on wlan again!
Simply by going back to Dutty's April 26 Rom with fitting radio. No problems anymore.
So what is changed:
I had Laurentius V8 with radio 1.58.25.17 and HardSPL 3.29.
Now I have Dutty's April 29th lite rom with radio 1.65.14.06 and still HardSPL 3.29
I reflashed a few roms, some worked with WiFi but then failed with MSVC. After some more searching I came across L26 Diamond V5 which has voice command and a radio which gives me WiFi & VC (both Work together). I think that the newer ROMS which have Radios that work with Wifi for me failed on MSVC because of the version of MSVC it has to be 1.6.19213 and L26 diamond V5 has this built in.
Now I have to find a MSVC 1.6.192113 CAB and try on a newer ROM..

My euphoria was not long lasting. After the first up- and downloads the kaiser could not connect anymore with the wlan. Oh yes the signal is available and strong, but it will not connect.
The only option now is to change hardspl 3.19 for an older one. I'll try that later. Now my job waits.
After alot of messing around, I now have wifi working without any issues.
My original settings for my router were a hidden network, WPA2 PSK using TKIP, I have changed TKIP to AES and my kaiser connects much more quickly and most of the time. Will this help others ? i really don't know, however, I would strongly suggest changing settings on you router as it certainly helped me.
hey guys I had a problem with l26 v9 as well turns out it don't pick up certain wifi channels being 12,13,6,5, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405737 for more info

Best regards
Hey Guys,
i have a problem with my Samsung Omnia 7.
When my phone ist running and i want to activate bluetooth, the screen displays "searching" (in german "Suchen"). My phone wont find a device which is in the near and where i know, that i can connect normally.
I know that, because, when i turn bluetooth on and restart my phone, then after restart, i will find all the bluetooth devices in the near and i can connect for example with my laptop and play music from my phone on the laptop or hear the voice when im calling with someone.
But when i turn bluetooth off and after this on again, there is only the screen which diplasy "searching".
My bluetooth works only if after i turn bluetooth on before i restart my phone.
Sorry for my bad english , i hope you understand my problem.
Is there anybody with a same problem or anybody who can help me?
The HD2 has similiar problems with bluetooth and wifi together. However I'm not an Omnia 7 user.
Anyway, you can ask it in the Omnia 7 forum (which would be the correct one) or even better: Use the search tool and browse all existing bluetooth problems thread to see if someone has found a solution (There are plenty of it...). Thanks
thanks for your advice. after u told about the problem with bluetooth and wifi togehter, i just tested what happens if i activate wifi and bluetooth togehter and i was suprised to see that my bluetooth works. i can avtivate and deactivate and it just works in connection when wifi is "on". if i turn wifi off, bluetooth wont work anymore...
but thanks, so i have a workaround and can use it, i will search in thread with same problems, thanks!
