Hi, guys. Hope you can help...

We have two xda execs on o2. The first is fine - no real probs. On the second, wifi and bluetooth keep activating themselves and are a drain on the battery.

I can't seem to turn it off - The turn on wifi and bluetooth boxes are checked in settings even though I unchecked them half an hour ago when I last turned off bluetooth and wi-fi.

Am I missing something obvious?


Thanks

I would gladly swap for my XDA which keeps switching Bluetooth OFF! lol.

Sorry, I couldn't help from posting given that a significant number of XDA users have the complete opposite problem.. :)

Other than that, I can't help you. I assume you're not running any third party software on there to monitor BT / WiFi ?

Not sure which is worse!

I'm not running any monitoring software.

@Vijay, nearly! -- I think ozBT is going to be the saviour for my XDA, but today it was my BT headset which had stopped working(!!);

Actually, come to think of it, ozBT will also switch off BT / Wifi, so you could do worse than downloading that Goldie..

Although i'd be more inclined to look at what software you have installed on your Exec and try and find out which, if any, has BT/WiFi hooks that may be turning them on automagically.

Failing that, Hard Reset the whole thing (after a backup is taken of course..) and see whether the problem is still happening on a fresh device.
