Help: BT turning off too with power off?!?

[ugoldeli]

Howdy,

I've been reading this forum for a couple of days now and must say am very happy to have found it.

In the meantime, I've upgraded my radio (1.12) and bluetooth software (3900) - but have just found something "interesting"...

When the xda is on - blutooth works fine - however after switching the device off - the bluetooth connection drops out for some reason.. having said that - I've read many posts about poor bluetooth performance issues etc - but it appears that this is a new thing?

Amusingly enough - when the xda2s is turned back on, the bluetooth icon in the systray reflects the fact that BT has in fact been turned off.

So here's the series of events:

1. xda is on - bluetooth systray icon is blue - showing "connected status". Headset icon in upper bar also showing.

2. xda is off - no bluetooth connection - (incoming phone calls etc don't go to headset - takes ages to connect etc.)

3. xda turned back on after being off - 1st second after being turned back on: BT systray icon shows "connected", but immediately goes red to show "not connected" or "BT *off*", then in the following couple of seconds turns itself back on to show "BT on"...

Very strange!!

Is this a freak incident or is there some setting to keep BT on/off upon power-off?

Any thoughts?

Me too, same problem :cry:

Next to the echo issue also this is very bad.

Can broadcom not make a better bluetooth stack ?

Unbelivable, so much money spend on a machine and then this Phone/Bluetooth quality.

Upgrade to BT 3900 and use screenlock

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14621

to turn off the XDA, not the power button and set the XDA power preferences to never power off.

It's the screen that eats the battery power, so screenlock will help here, but your BT connection will stay alive (also consuming power).
