Bluetooth issue on nookcolor - Nook Color General

How to activate it? I'm on CM7 Nightbuild #41. I go to Settings-Wireless & networks- Bluetooth (turn on Bluetooth) whenever i check it nothing happens. How do i get it to work? It does not work when wifi is on or off.

Reboot and enable Bluetooth immediately. After that you should be able to enable and disable it normally. If you don't enable it immediately after boot, you'll never be able to enable it.

Turn wifi off and power down. Power back up, let it boot, then turn on bluetooth. Then you can turn wifi back on.

When I had this problem with my Nook Color I had to perform a "hard" reboot......Hold the power button down until the device turned off without using the sub menus. Then I rebooted and turned on the bluetooth.

Turn off wifi shut off the device (turn off enterely) turn on again and.turn on bluetooth the u can turn on wifi
I just tried on my sister in law's nook color....

I had to fix permissions using clockwork to get my blue tooth working. After that i've had no problems.

[Q] Turn Off Airplane mode issue using hang-up long press button

Hi there,
When I use the long press hang up button option, It turns on air plane mode well by shutting down all wireless signals; but it won't turn them back on if I press and hold it once again: the gsm icone goes from an 'X' to an '!', but it won't connect to the network.
I have to manualy run the comm manager and hit the Airplane mode activation to get it to work.
Does anyone have the same issue? Any idea?
Thx
I also had the same problem, I just don't use it anymore - just use Comms and the options there

Thx: did you get your phone unlocked as I did? That could be the reason.
Anyone else with the same issue, or a solution?
same issue here, and unfourtunately no solution as far as I know...

preventing Wifi from disconnecting when the device locks/turns

hi,
So under power settings i have my backlight to turn off in 10 secs and device to turn off in 40.
With wifi connected, when the device turns off, it disconnects wifi and when I start if it connects again. This is thoroghly annoying!! Because I need to keep pressing something on the phone so it doesn't got off and disconnect wifi.
Could someone Please tell me how I could stop this crazy feature?
Thanks so much

Hi Giddy!
I have a solution for you...
I don't know if you already installed Advanced Configuration tool 3.3, if not you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
After the installation, you click on the program button, go to menu (right bottom) ,select more settings and then 'connection'. there should be an option: 'Enable Wi-Fi on standby mode' click on that, click on ok and exit the prog..when it's asking you to soft-reset, do the soft-reset and after that your Wi-Fi should work whenever you lock your device...
Good luck
Regards,
Jeroen
Yes I do have Advanced Configuration, didn't know that was there. Thank you!!!!

any way to have wifi on while sleep on froyo?

everytime i turn my screen on (i think) by pressing the power button, i guess wifi turns on. i notice that i lose connection for things like google talk. is there any way i can have wifi on even while the screen is off? i am using y5 to turn my wifi off when i am away from range but that doesnt seem to keep wifi on anymore while screen is off.

There's an option to keep wifi on when asleep in the advanced settings for wifi. That's all u need to adjust. Go into wifi settings and hit menu to find the advanced settings.

BT not working

If I turn the BT on it hesitates for like 30 sec then it doesn't turn on.

Try a hard reboot, (press the power button until it turns off, then turn it back on)
That's worked for me when I have that issue
You can also try booting into CWM, going to the advanced menu, then "fix permisions". For some reason doing the fix permisions in CWM instead of rom manager works better for me. It might for you.
Getting BT working
OK buffnutz1, here's what I did. I went into ROM Manager and did a "Fix Permissions" and then I did a hard reboot. When I restarted CM7 I was able to get BT working no problem.
I have also bought CoPilot Live 8 and use my BT GPS receiver to turn my Nook into a fun BIG navigation device.

Nook shutting off

Has anyone experienced their nook will shut off where the only way to restart is to power it back on?
I am running miui.us if it matters.

Yes, it is called Sleep of Death (SOD). It happens when you have wifi set to stay on when the screen turns off. After a while the system will go into deep sleep (as it's supposed to do) but if you have wifi set to also stay on, sometimes it will not wake up. There are workarounds to prevent this, but they are usually not very satisfactory if you want wifi on. Search the forums for discussions on SOD. It affects all newer versions of CM7 including miui.us.
I have this too, also running miui.us. My solution was to set the Nook to never sleep. I tap the power button when I'm done, the screen goes blank, I tap the Nook button or power button to use it again and it pops up in a second. Wifi quickly connects and I'm in business.
