I have the same problem with my XDA2 - all of a sudden my bluetooth is no longer detected. I read that a hard reset would solve the problem so I reset back to factory default and checked the bluetooth and it was working fine. Great I thought! until I restored my data and then the problem was back again.

Does anyone know what causes this bug? I read that I-mate released a rom update to solve this issue but I have not seen anything for the XDA. Is there a setting in the registry that causes this? This is really fustrating!

Let me answer my own question. This "No Bluetooth hardware detected" bug is due to a corrupted registry, for some unknown reason entries disappear or are changed. The simple solution is just to export a clean reg file of the affected section and import it to cure the problem. This seems to be a common bug which can affect anyone at any time so it is probably worthwile for everybody to do some preventative maintenance and save a reg file now in storage so that you can easily cure the bug should it arise in the future.

The affected section is HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth. Just export this entire folder - its only 31K - from an earlier backup or from the factory default settings and import over the corrupted entries after you have restored. You will need a registry editor such as Resco's to import and export reg files.
