Hi,

I have a problem with my Qtek S110. I just cannot get it to use Bluetooth whilst the radio is off. Whenever I try to activate bluetooth whilst in flight mode it tells me to turn off flight mode first.

I can find no way of turning the radio off other than switching to flight mode.

When I hold the power button down the screen backlight turns off but the radio remains on - totally different to what my Qtek manual states.

My goal is to have Bluetooth working with my GPS receiver but have the radio turned off.

I've emailed Qtek and a rather terse reply states that my phone is not working properly and to return it to the supplier. I don't trust that information and if I did return it I'm just as likely to get a phone which does exactly the same thing.

So, my question is, could someone please tell me if it is definately my firmware that causes this problem? (please see my current firmware in my sig)

Thank you.

BT switches OFF in flight mode no matter what firmware you use! It's designed like that.

Ah, I realise both BT and the phone should turn off in flight mode but what I am trying to do is to just turn the Bluetooth on by itself. I can't find out how to do it and the manual gives me no clues.

Could you please tell me if it is possible to have the phone off but bluetooth on (obvioulsy with the device on and not off)? If so, how do I do that.

If not, Qtek already told me that it should be possible to have bluetooth on when the phone part is off.

Thanks

A software called phone alarm allows you to do that. Make sure you install the latest version. You will be able to switch off the radio and leave the BT on.

Qtek support are wrong. Using the default apps you cannot switch off Radio unless you put it in flight mode.

Hi,

I have just installed v1.27 of Phone Alarm again in the hope that I missed something the first time I tried it.

Do you have phone alarm software installed? Could you please tell me how I turn off the phone part because I can't figure out how and I just read the instructions. If you do could you please try to it and tell me what you did - would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Actually,

I seem to have just managed to do it.

Not quite sure exactly what I've done as it was initially still telling me that I needed to turn flight mode off.

But, I am now seeing a nice blue led with no green led and a cross through the GSM indicator!!!

Thanks for all the info kta!! This is very much appreciated as I can now keep my phone which I like alot and buy that GPS receiver!

Thanks again!
