I've had my Kaiser for a while and now, for some reason, Bluetooth won't turn on.
If I go into Comm Manager and press the Bluetooth icon, the little swirling coloured circle (WM hourglass) goes around for a few seconds and then bluetooth icon stays off (as if it's turned off) and the blue bluetooth light doesn't appear on the phone.
I've installed Jetware from http://www.jetwaremobile.com/install.htm in the vain hope that it would start working. I also installed the HTC bluetooth fix from another thread in here (released in December 2007) - same deal, nothing.
Short of hard resetting the phone (which I'm loathed to do) is there any way I can fix this or even investigate what is happening. Obviously the spinning circle and nothing happening doesn't give much info away when trying to diagnose it!!!
Any help appreciated.
If you soft reset and try enabling bluetooth right after it, does it work? I recall such an issue with the Hermes.

If you soft reset and then go into Comm Manager the Bluetooth icon is lit like it's on. However if you wait it then goes off OR if you select it it turns off and then won't turn on again.
Basically I think the bluetooth icon is mistaken when it's soft reset as the blue flashing LED never appears on the phone to indicate that bluetooth is working.

I've done the upgrade by few days, and i've discovered this strange behaviours (don't know if they are already known):
-When i remove and put again the battery on the boot i see
R none
G none
D 5.xxxxx
so radio is disabled,
doing a soft reset repair the situation.
-Occasionally when i turn on flight mode, the phone goes off, and after few seconds it returns on automatically. Sometimes instead, the phone goes off, but the right green led continues to blink.
-When sound is off or volume is 0, and i receive a flash sms message (i've not tested with other events) the event sound play anyway (very annoying).
I have seen the first two problems (I'm using Antz ROM at the moment). I think they are both related...it's as though the ohone itself is crashing and WM5 cannot talk to it, which would explain the lack of driver version numbers on the reset. I had both after messing around with flight mode. It took a power down, wait 15 sec, then soft-reset to get me going.
I suspect it may be something to do with activating flightmode while wireless is on, but that is a complete guess.

Mmm, i think not, because i've discovered while wireless was off.
However i think that the worst problem is the sound playing when volume is 0...
Check those two:

I am using the 'standard' WM5 version, and this 'radio none' thing happens to me too when I remove the battery, so I guess it's WM5 related...
anyway soft resetting again works for me too
Hi,
I have a problem with the BT.
I installed the newest HTC Album, and HTC Task Manager (latest build), and afther that, I cant turn on the BT! When I push the BT icon in the Comm Manager, the PDA is loadin for a while, and afther that shows the BT icon OFF.
I uninstalled the Album, and Task manager, but the problem is still on.
please help me!
I have the same problem. Everytime i hit the bluetooth icon on the comm manager, the load icon comes up then bluetooth is still off. I soft-reset the phone and everything and it still doesn't work. Help?
I didn't install anything new, it just stopped working for some reason.
what about settings connection tab bluetooth what are the settings in here?
I having the same problem, ever time I try to turn BT on it works for a min then just turns off. I have noticed the blue led falsh a few times then stop. Also when I turn the phone off and then on the bluetooth icon is green and the blue led flashes but as so as I go into the comm manger or settings it turns off. so my BT does not work at all. This just happened during a call using my jawbone headset and has not worked since. Any help would be great. OH---- and I have tried reloading the rom and different roms and still does not work. It is a POS to many problems with this damn phone.
OMG I just figured it out! I cant believe it works now. I just pushed the BT icon on the comm manger and soft reseted it when it was working and when it restarted it worked! Also, know that my phone was off when i did this, not sure if it matters or not but just for the info
I've tried various ROMS, currently using the clean Tilt rom. After a hard reset I am able to turn on the WLAN and connect to my home network. After a while, I am no longer able to turn on the WLAN. If I tap the WLAN button in comm manager, I see the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, then nothing happens. The icon doesn't light up, it doesn't search for a network, no error is displayed, just nothing.
Has anyone seen this problem or have an idea of what else I can check?
Did you install any of the custom comm managers? It's pretty common that they break the WLAN enable/disable. I use the 10 button one but there is a reghack to fix it.
I just did another hard reset. Still using Helmi_Tilt_AKU.0.7.0.R1.BigStorage.exe ROM. After the initial startup and customization ran, I was able to turn on and connect the WLAN. After that, I did a power off. (Hold the power button 5 secs). When I turned the Tilt back on, I was no longer able to turn on the WLAN. I had not installed any software.
I'm reflashing with the original ATT rom. I'll report back after I've done the same test with that ROM.
I reflashed the original ATT rom. Same Issue. I think I just have a bad unit. If I power cycle. sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. I haven't been able to get a consistent result.
Final result. It was a bad unit. I got a warranty replacement and it's working fine now.
This just started happening:
I restart my tilt. I push the power button and the display brightness gets brighter but the device does not turn off. I push it again, the device turns off but then I can't get it to turn back on without soft resetting! What the crap??!!
Any clue what is going on?
Thanks!
Alan
I am just a n00b, but it sounds like your power button got mapped to your brightness control somehow, and when the screen goes black, the device is not off, just brightness set to 0. When you soft reset, the unit just sets back to default. I am not proficient in mapping the buttons, but a quick search on the forum should help. I know that there are a lot of threads having to do with mapping keys.
Hi
I experience the same problem and strange enough after I downloaded a patch released by HTC for potential issue with blue tooth and the phone.
A soft reset does not solve the problem, instead a Sync with the PC (even not a full one) cure it for a period of 2-3 days.
I have the impression that it is more complicated than just a registry issue. For instance I can not run the TOM TOM any more.
The HTC support only suggested a hard reset that I did but for complicated reasons I was forced to restore a back up I had.
So I am still affected by this problem.
I did a hard reset and used spb backup to restore everything to the day prior. The last thing I remember installing was s2u2 0.99c which seems that it would mess with how the device responds to the power button. I'm going to post over there and see if there is a chance it was the culprit.
Alan
You have to disable directdraw in s2u2.

It was and is disabled at least according to s2u2 settings. I did notice that for me in 0.99c DPAD was enabled but did not work.
I know it sound weird, but my Kaiser can't be switched off anymore:
The device is set to turn itself off after 1 minute on batteries.
(Would not switch off automatically.)
When I press the on/off switch nothing happens.
When I press and hold the on/off switch, a dialog comes on that informs that the device will be switched off and unsave information might get lost.
But the "busy icon" for minutes comes on and the Kaiser does not switch off.
Pressing the stylus into the reset hole resets the device, but the problem remains the same.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks
V
PS: I tried to search the forum intensively but I can't bring up useful threads.
Solution found
Looks as if I found how to cure the problem myself:
Everything else but TomTom 7,450 seemed to work on the machine.
TomTom hang when I tried to start it.
And using TomTom was the last thing I did yesterday.
So I tried to uninstall it.
But the WM uninstall hang as well while trying to remove it.
A Reset would not help here either.
So I manually deleted all files in the Navigator Directory
and did a reset.
Ran uninstall again. Then reset.
And from now the device was back to normal as far as the
on/off button is concerned. (YEPP!)
Reinstalled TomTom and all is back to normal as far as I can see.
