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.

Hero Goes into sleep mode and does not wake up!!!
Has anyone had this issue, it has happened to all 3 Hero's that Sprint has replaced, out of no where it goes into sleep mode, does not matter what button I hit it does not wake back up, I have to actually take the battery out and replace it and then turn the phone back on to get it back. Is there something that is causing this issue if anyone else has had this happen, is there a solution to wake it up without having to take the battery out, it does not happen often, but at least once or twice a week.
I wonder if it could be an app causing this issue, it did it again today, the screen is asleep and when I try to wake it up, I do everything and nothing works, sometimes if I leave it alone for 10 to 15 minutes then it finally wakes up on it's own, or if I don't want to wait then I have to take the battery out to reboot it, that is the only way to get it back, and I am not doing another factory reset. I am not rooted and do not intend to root at the moment
This is driving me crazy please help!!!!!
58 views and you are telling me this has not happened to anyone else here ????
I will try one thing at a time to see, for now I turned off Blue Tooth to see !!

Well dude, its kind of hard when you don't give us any info (and your font is hard to read...)
What ROM?
What apps do you have installed?
What are you doing right before you turn it off?
I am on stock 2.1 with the .6 update, apps installed are, Delete old messages, Launcher Pro which I am using as default now, Handcent, Juice defender, Quick settings, COL reminder, Dolphin HD, You Mail, Fancy Widget, Sense analog clock not using this right now, home switcher, Uninstaller, Google maps, Viz battery, Google voice, Barcode scanner, Opera mini, Astro file, PDA net which have not used yet, Free caddie, Color notepad, How far am I
I do not turn it off, out of no where it goes into sleep mode and I cannot wake it up, no mater what keys I press, if I take the battery out and replace then I can reboot it back, or if I leave the phone alone for about 15 to 20 minutes then all of a sudden it will wake back up. Anything else needed let me know!!

Could be
Launcher Pro
Juice Defender
COL Reminder
Viz Battery
all those sound like they might run when the screen is turned off.
Have you tried doing a reformat and starting over?
Yes I have, have reset many times, like mention a few other of my friends also have the same issue, this is also my 3rd phone from Sprint and they have all done this one time or another, as for LP, Viz battery, and juice defender I recently installed and did it before that, and COL I have not used in a while

I use launcher pro and juice defender with no problems, so you might want to start with the other apps.

You haven't hard reset it if you're still having the problem.
I have hard reset it 3 times now and everything works fine for about a day or two and then all of a sudden out of no where it goes into dark sleep mode as I call it, now remember it does not happen everyday, could happen once or twice a week and then not happen for 2 weeks straight after that there is no pattern to it. These are the 2 methods I have used list below.
Menu Path Method:
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu Button and select Settings.
2. Select Security.
3. Select Factory data reset.
4. Select Reset phone.
5. Select Erase everything.
6. The device will dump all of the data and reload.
Key Stroke Method
1. Power the device OFF.
2. Press and hold the HOME and Back Arrow buttons. While holding these buttons, press the End Call button once.
Release the Home and Back Arrow buttons and press the Trackball to execute the Hard Reset.
3. The device will reboot once the process is complete.

OK back to the drawing board, it is not the Blue Tooth as I had BT turned off for 2 days now and it just went to sleep again. I will try another program to deactivate until I find the damn culprit
OK my next step is I have turned auto polling off for the YouMail app,and have also set the downloads to the SD card instead of internal memory, I will still know there is a message as it sends me a text anyways, fingers crossed, any other suggestions are welcomed!!!!!
Hello everyone, this problem happened randomly yesterday. So the power button doesn't work at all when it worked fine before, and the LED charging light is now always green and always on. Also, when I remove the battery and put it back in, the phone automatically turns on! So, does anyone know what the heck is going on here? I don't think it's a ROM problem since i've been using my current ROM for the longest time (Kang-o-rama with CM6). If anyone has any clue or hints, please share! I'd like my N1 to work again Thanks!
That is definitely your power button that died on you...I've read you can turn the phone on by charging and taking out the battery then putting it back, I guess it works for you.
Maybe you could try another ROM/kernel to see if the battery led issue gets fixed...can you turn the screen off with the power button or what?
Nope, I can't use the power button at all. Can't turn off the screen, haha, so I have to wait until it times out.
Well then, there's your problem
I highly suggest you use a sleep widget for the sake of your battery and you probably are using trackball wake anyways I guess ^^
sigh, all right. so what do you think i can do to at least get rid of the constant green light?
Actually, I can't find that sleep widget you were talking about. Can you show me one on the market or somewhere? Thanks!
I use one called Lockscreenwidget. You can find a version that has simply changed the icon here: Link. I changed the icon to suit my own purposes (You can see in the screen shot thread) but if you'd like one made using your own icon gimme a buzz, it's easy enough to change.
I just got the update OTA today. I love the dark mode everywhere, but there is one feature that got changed and it's really unnecessary and actually annoying.
When in a full screen app (like a game) when you press the back button, the first thing that happens is the status bar is revealed. You have to hit back twice in order for it to activate the back button in your app. This is so stupid because you can show the status bar by swiping down from the top if you want it. There is no reason to have the back button show the status bar.
I dug through the settings and I can't find a way to turn it off, but I'm hoping I missed something and someone knows how to turn this back to the way it was. You know, back means "back," not "lemme check my status bar."
Same here dude.. maybe thats the way now to back. U need to swipe 2 times, not the previous on android 9
Strange have not had this issue and I play a lot of games and other full screen apps all day and didn't notice this.
Will keep this in mind as I use my phone tonight and see if it happens.
Try wiping the cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work, backup your device and perform a Hard Factory Reset
