Missing BT-Icon

[Whitesnake83]

I own a HTC Polaris, before this I had the XDA Orbit.
Since the Polaris I miss the Bluetooth-Icon when BT is turned on. Except the blinking blue diode I cannot check if BT is turned on.

Is there a possibility to get an BT-Icon when BT is switched on?

To Admin: My provider "3 - Austria" is missing in the Provider section in my User CP.

I dont know about the missing bluetooth icon, but for your operator you could chose Australia - Three...

Thanks, but there are no kangaroos in Austria ;)

So if you turn BT on, you get the BT Symbol next to the 3G/E/G symbol?

Unfortunately not. But what you can do is tap the connection icon*, a bubble will pop up which tells you what kind of connectivity you have. This includes BT, WLAN and max network speed (3G, G, E, ...). Other than that there's only the blue LED and the on/off indicator in the CommManager...

*it's the "first" icon, the 3G/G/E/... icon or, if you are connected using WiFi, the "tower" with those horizontal arrows.

Alternatively you can select Ireland - Three, if you're more comfortable with them. They speak a weird English too, so language wise it doesnt really matter :p

Your idea doesn't work either.
In the bubble I can only see the standard Icons like 3G, the signal strengh, battery status and loudness - but not BT Symbol.

I have a Mac so I don't with active sync and BT. But I have activated the Wireless Menü at the bottom of the start screen, so I can see if WLAN or BT is turned on/off. But thx for you help.

It actually wasnt about the connected ActiveSync but more about the shiny blue Bluetooth "B" in the top left corner of the bubble ;) The ActiveSync connection was needed for the screenshot...

Ah okay. I have disabled dies bubble because everytime the polaris connects to HSDPA I get this bubble, and this is really annoying.

So summarized, it's impossible to get the BT icon on the top like the WLAN icon?

Alternate solution: grab battery status ext - it allows to have bt and wifi icons in the right bottom corner - from there you can switch all the things on and off, perform actions like bt pairing or wifi connection establishment.

Thanks for your help.
