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?

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.

I have a router that is running a 3rd party software (dd-wrt). I have a 'main' ap and a 'virtual' ap. When I try to switch between the two networks I can't connect. The passwords are correct but the phone keeps popping up asking for the correct password. The only way I seem to be able to connect is to reboot the router AND turn the phone off and back on. Once the phone connects, it seems to connect to the same network fine if I turn the phone off/on. However, if I try to switch to the other network, I have the same problems. Can anyone provide some insight here?

Hey guys:
I'm having a little issue with wifi connecting automatically after a restart or coming out of airplane mode. Sometimes it will not automatically reconnect to wifi unless I cycle the wifi off then back on. All other times it works fine and connects automatically.
I've seen a number of reports of difficulty connecting to wifi, but not specific to a restart or coming out of airplane mode.
Thanks.

So we all know that there's Wifi Sharing capability on the s8.
I want to know if there's a way to bypass needing to be in Radio ON mode. The reason I say this is because, I want to use this on the plane. I want to be able to buy one internet access plan on the flight then be able to share the connection through Wifi Sharing. But the issue is that we cannot share wifi in Airplane mode?
I have the dual sim version on the phone. I figured keeping airplane mode off and going into the settings to turn off data in SIM1 and GPS would be ideally the same as airplane mode. Is this true? Or is there something we can tweak to use wifi sharing while in airplane mode?
Why do you feel that you need to have airplane mode turned on? Just enable wifi sharing and forgetaboutit.
I'd say because the phone gets crazy hot and if you're not tethered to a battery pack, you won't last an hour with the screen off.
