Hi all

I have K-JAM with latest IMate ROM

I notice that as soon as the phone starts ringing it enables bluetooth. I dont have a bluetooth headset and have never paired one with my device. Even more worrying is that it does not turn off the bluetooth after a call, or worse if I miss a call bluetooth could be left on draining the battery.

ive hunted for settings, i suspect its something to do with a headset setting but cant find anything. Does anyone know how to stop it doing this? Its very irritating.

Cheers

G!

If you don't have a bluetooth headset you might not need bluetooth at all. If you don't then just go to Start --> Settings --> Connections and click the Bluetooh icon and just turn it off completely. You can also hit the Comm Manager button (upper side left button) and turn it off there. I have mine all the time and it really doesn't waste the battery much more than if it were off. Same thing applies with wi-fi as long as your phone goes to sleep. If you are turning it off and it automatically turns on when you get an incomming call then you definitely have something weird going on.

Good luck

Hi,

No i definately have BT turned off but as soon as there is an incoming call it turns on, and sometimes when you close the phone application the Comm Manager is visible behind it.

Has anyone else seen this?

Wow... That is definitely strange. I was pretty sure mine didn't do that because I just recently got a bluetooth headset so I wasn't always using bluetooth. I tested this just to make sure. Mine does not turn bluetooth on. If I turn it off it stays off.

I have a Qtek 9100 non branded with the first WWE release

My Xda Mini S doesn't either, but it would be a great feature to have to save battery life, in fact it has long been requested since the first Windows Smartphone 2 years ago.

Perhaps your device has some registry entry that we don't?
