When I turn on bluetooth on my device, the option that makes it visible to other devices isn't at ON as default. As I want the device to only be visible for the first 5 minutes I want the option for the visibility for other devices should be ON as default.
Is there any way to change this?
if you find out please let me know as anything I try doesn't work!
I did try before. There is a setting in Bluetooth. Under Time out tab, change to Never. It will stay on visible. However, after certain of time or reset device, it will back to default (which is not visible) again. I havent thoroughly test it, but seems need to run some script to permenantly activate visible
Does anyone know any solution to my problem/wish yet?
When turning on the Bluetooth I want the device to set it Visible for 5 minutes as defualt.
My car headset automaticly connects to my phone when it finds it.
Now I have to go into the Bluetooth settings and manually make it visible. I want this to be default ON for the first 5 minutes when turning on Bluetooth.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

When I switch off my XDA IIs by button or SW button in most of the cases the device switches on it self for one more time.
Is there anyone who can help?
Thanks guys!
:?:
I have the same problem, I had a bluetooth headset paired to it, maybe that is it, I only got the XDAIIs today so I have not had much time to watch it but it happened tonight and the XDA mini never does it.
Each time the BT headset is switched on or off and pairs up or releases, when a text message arrives, when you come out of a signal blackspot and reconnect and find you have missed calls etc.
Basically anything that results in a visual change caused the device to switch on.
Very annoying. Don't know the solution.
I share your pain.

I'm using http://www.trancreative.com/nicestart.aspx to keep the device locked, but it will turn on/off, but now it's locked so i dont delete data when it turns on in my pocket.
No matter what you do, the device will turn on at least once every hour.
I read somewhere that it does this to check the battery status.
I had the same problem once. Please open ActiveSync, switch the device off and see if ActiveSync is trying to connect..
Of course there can be lots of other reasons...
Yes I didn't mention on my post that activesync also seems to be a player in this problem.
If activesync is running, somehow the device syncs at varying intervals from 5 mins-1hr and switches it on to do so.
I used the attached to kill activesync to stop it happening.
Hope it helps.

I just unchecked the "Use mobile schedule to sync with this PC" setting and the problem was solved.
Though this seems to be a bug in ActiveSync..
Thanks
Works fine, great!
i had this problem on my old rom, and since i upgraded to 1.40, it aint done it since. maybe u need to upgrade.
OK, this ide was stolen from a guy at the norwegian forum www.windowsmobile.no: Can't somebody who knows what they're doing program a small app that can be set to turn on BT and WLAN whenever the unit is turned on? Then I'd be very happy, at least!
may be this tool can help?
http://oz.sciox.org/ozbt.html
Wow! At first glance it seems to work! I'll have to turn off the unit for a longer time and see if it still works. I'll know in the morning...it's been along night. Election night in Norway.
I think this does work but like Mastiff says I am going to leave off my SX66 for a bit.
If this does work, this needs to be added as a patch?
I am pretty sure this is working for my SX66.
I first manually turned off Wireless and Bluetooth. Then restarted my PDA, which both Wireless and Bluetooth where off when it was done booting. I then went into ozBT and changed Wireless/BT from Default On to Defaul Off.
I was then going to restart the PDA but before I could Wireless and BT popped on!
I also turned off my PDA for a bit and Bluetooth was off - then it turned it's self back on.
Nice!
Someone needs to invite this guy over here and get him on the staff!
Why would you want BT and Wifi turned on everytime you switched on your PPC? Wouldnt that kill the battery? Every time you soft reset, turn on to check email, etc. Can someone explain what this achieves?
Myself I do not want WiFi on but I do for Bluetooth, since I use a BT Headset all the time.
First of all this doesn't work very well at all for me. On my Qtek 9090 this has unforseen side effects for WiFi, so I have gone back on it. It doesn't log into my default network at once, like it does when I turn it on manually. Instead it either tries to log on to the other WiFi network I have in my house (don't ask), even though that's weaker and MAC blocked for the unit. And if it doesn't find that, it just stays on "searching". And even when searching it don't show the WiFi icon, it shows the GPRS icon all the time. So for my unit this is a dead end. If anybody else tries this and doesn't have problems, I will have to do a hard reset and see if it's some kind of third party program that creates this problem.
Second, I want them on like I always have had them on with my four last PPCs since I have a wireless network both in my house and in my car, and I control music, lights and a lot of other stuff in the house and music in the car with it. Besides when I'm driving I always use TomTom to warn me of speed cams. And I have charging in both my cars, on both my motorbikes and in my home office (I run a translating business from home). So I'm never far away from charging and never have problems with the battery, and finally I use WiFi a lot more than I use the phone part, with NetRemote controlling the house, and surfing.
where is the file
where is the program can be found.
http://oz.sciox.org/ozbt.html
But no my system it's trying to connect to the wrong network every time. If I turn on the WLAN manually I don't have that problem at all, it connects to the default. I'm starting to think that the program forces the driver to check for the default network to early, before the network card is ready, then gives up on that and start looking for other networks a few seconds later, which is when the network card really is ready to connect.
My bro and I both bought the above units and have upgraded to the GPS rom. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the unit switches on by itself. We are both experiencing this problem but also have the same programs running. The button lock feature is set on.
That's right. My Trinity is alive, too ;-)
I'm using the dopod rom about one week and I noticed that today for the first time.
There's no application running in the background. It's still alive ;-)
I do not care about this problem.
Hi,
Any software you are running?
Best regards,
Gilbert
Today programs are as follows:
cLaunch
Today Agenda
Battery Pack / Program Bar
PPCProfiles
I will try and eliminate one by one to see if it is software related.
Anyone else using one of the programs and having the unit switch on by itself. This issue bothers me as I see its going to be a drain on the battery.
Activesync may be the culprit
Many PPC WM5 devices tend to turn themselves on. It is usually an Activesync setting that periodically turns on the device and tries to connect to a non existant server. Best bet is to set up a dummy server on Activesync on the PPC, then set the sync settings to Manual, then delete the dummy server.
Sorry if you already have done this, but it certainly solved the issue for me.

Hey Camstech, could you please give me a detailed description of how to set this up?
Thanks
My phone seems to do this too, but from what I can see, it is because of bad 3G coverage and the phone has to roam to GSM and back. Only happens at work where I got bad coverage (2/4).
AFAIK this issue is common to ALL devices and all versions.
I understand that you DO NOT TURN THE PDA OFF (Holding the on/off button), just go to "standby". So there are many Apps that tend to "awake" rather than TURN ON your PDA. It's like Sleep mode vs Hybernate in Windows. Agenda or scheduled items may turn your PDA active, even SMS messages that don't fully arrive, phone reconnecting, GPRS or UMTS changing status, profiles that are set to change over time, incoming calls, etc.
I think this is not specific to a certain ROM but to the fact that you have a full time connected and running computer in your pocket....
Hope it helps.

I would have to agree to a point, as I have noticed when PPCProfiles changes automatically to my car mode (bluetooth on) the pda turns on. So you are right that it's programs possibly turning it on but this never happened on my O2 mini (WM2003SE). I'm hoping a new ROM may fix this issue.
I have disabled the "auto switch template" on PPCProfiles which changes over to bluetooth at a certain time of the day and it appears to have stopped the pda turning on by itself. So far so good for 1 day. Curious if anyone else is using PPCProfiles and are experiencing this. Does anyone else use other phone profile programs with switching templates that does not turn on their pda by itself?

Whoops!
Where can I find PPCProfiles. I dont seem to have that kind of settings in my original HTC P3600....
Very interesting.

You can find the program link below. I never had any issues when using this program on my O2 mini. It still works on my dopod d810 just that I have disabled the auto switch template.
ps the chrome template is the nicest

Correction to my thinking it was PPC profiles. It is actually happening when the bletooth is turned on ( hence ppc profiles switching over to car mode - bluetooth). I disabled ppc profiles and turned on bluetooth and strangely enough the dopod kept turning on.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem when they have bluetooth on?

Mine sometimes turns itself on when it automatically checks my email accounts, but not always. I wonder if it isn't the 3G/Edge switch that is explained earlier. My house is in a 3G fringe area. I believe it doesn't try and wake itself up when the Wifi is on. My Prophet never did this, it would only wake up for an alarm, call, or SMS.
The main issues are reduced battery life and if you have your phone in your pocket and it wakes up, buttons can be accidentally pressed before it goes back to sleep.
I have dificulty understanding the "IF" logic.
I tried to turn off WiFi when the screen turns dark only if I am NOT connected to a WiFi hotspot
I know I can do it by creating two profiles and querying their state, but I thought IF should also work, turns out it does not and I'd like to know why it doesn't
So I thought I'd just trythe IF condition in the task and configure a task that tells me the value of the variable %WIFII by popping up the info, but as you can see in the attached screenshots, WiFi is turned off even allthough the variable has a content matching *CONNECTION*
my phone is a rooted Xperia Z3c running 23.5.A.1.291 stock sony firmware
Any thoughts welcome

2 things:
- maybe 10s is not long enough? have you tried 20?
- on screen off, Android does not seem to always be able to create a Wi-Fi connection successfully.
I have this problem myself, trying to auto turn on Wi-Fi and connect when I get home.
You can try having this run on screen on (even while locked) to test this.
Maybe someone with better knowledge of how Android system works would have a solution for this?
Thank you for your reply
Screenshots show that the WiFi connection is established successfully, I am trying to find out why some variables can bei used in the if query and others cannot
Regarding your Problem, you could try adding a wake up command at the beginning of your task. I use display dim for this purpouse (needs the secure settings or equivalent plugin)
Hi guys, I recently switched from a samsung s8 to a Pixel 7 and I wanted to be able to carry some "automations" with me with an NFC Tag.
The automatism is simple: I return home -> the wifi is activated and the ringtone becomes silent. I leave the house -> the wifi is deactivated and the ringtone returns to normal.
With the S8 I've never had any problems.. with the Pixel, when I get home, the ringtone goes silent, but Do Not Disturb is also activated. And there is no way to separate Quiet from Do Not Disturb! Both activate.
I tried with two different programs to modify the nfc tags: a very old version of "Trigger" and the most recent "NFC Tools". But both give the same result: if you activate Silent, you also activate Do Not Disturb! Obviously if I change the ringing mode by hand this doesn't happen.
Advice?! Has anyone encountered this problem?

Before "Trigger" and "NFC Tools", what app were you using?
If anything, I suggest you use -- if you were not using originally anyway -- MacroDroid. It seems to be capable of achieving what your goal is, although I wasn't able to get the NFC tool to set up myself (but that might just be my phone). Although I'm unsure if you really need to use NFC protocol to achieve this versus using geolocation/GPS; you could probably achieve the same thing with a gps trigger...And i'm sure there are other clever ways you can achieve the same goal using the very diverse program.
Worse comes to worst, you could possibly use Tasker -- although that app hasn't really been in active development in a while, I've seen around the forum that people still use it so at the very least it still functioning...
I used to use Trigger... but once it was set up I never used it again (except in the background). But that was 4 years ago.
I think I will try to use MacroDroid. I already use it to enable/disable rotation only on some programs.
Any advice on any modules?
