Bluetooth Stack Died...? Or Hardware?

[SH4YD33]

The bluetooth on my hermes suddenly stopped working. In the COMM manager its X'd out and when i press it nothing happens. Stays off.. any ideas?

Any stacks i can flash or things i should try before calling warranty return?

I dont feel like calling ATT... this is my 4th hermes in 3 months. And they all had problems.

Pop the battery out and leave it out about 1 minute. Pop it back and once you are fully booted, turn it on again. This has happened to mine 3 times so far and only started doing it about 2 months ago (had the phone a year so far).

I have no idea why it happens, but that's how I have to fix it.

Yeah.. well i've already hard reset the phone and the problem is still there.. I might try a wm5 rom a little later on. Any other ideas?

Which rom version are you using? With 3.60, the following happens:
After a reset (soft or hard) you can turn on and off bluetooth using comm manager. After a moment (quickly...) when turned off you cannot turn it on again. It stays"crossed". The only way to start it again is to soft reset. The solution? Let it "on" all the time. (I did not notice this problem with 3.57 roms)

Bergerac56 is right.
But you could make turn it off after the device starts up (and it is already on)
just make sure its on again when you hard reset
