Guest Paul (MVP) Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 A friend of mine had this problem, and I believe he had to send the device back to T-Mobile! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using it with a TomTom device? or a Jabra headset? Mine does this, and T-mob want me to return for investigation and/or replacement. Still awaiting the pre-paid packaging they promised last Weds (6th). I phoned on Mon and they said "oh, the system is queued at the moment, there might be a wait" Doh...

Guest Rob.P Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Is it the actual BT that turns off? Mine keeps switching to undiscoverable after I have switched it to discoverable. After a few mins it will always revert to undiscoverable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevekdavis Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 My SPV M3100 keeps switching off bluetooth shortly after it connects to my Parrot 3100 Car kit. Parrot are looking into it but I believe it's a common Hermes issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot are looking into it but I believe it's a common Hermes issue. Ah-ha! That means I shouldn't return my VarioII to t-mob, as the risk of getting something worse in return seems to be possible. Perhaps we need to wait for an HTC fix, but unless they get returns will they know they need to make a fix?! Catch-22..... Paul, if you're reading, any ideas?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 No ideas.... Would be interesting to see if anyone with a TyTN has had the problem, or with any newer ROM builds. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turbominor Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 No ideas.... Would be interesting to see if anyone with a TyTN has had the problem, or with any newer ROM builds. P I had many phone calls with t-mobile over the bt issue with my mda II, if you connect it to external power in the car or disable the option to turn of the phone when in battery power the bt will stay enabled. I got fobbed of to HTC by tmobile, they were not impressed, but did say it was a known issue that all hermes suffer from :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clues as to where to find that option? I got fobbed of to HTC by tmobile, they were not impressed, but did say it was a known issue that all hermes suffer from :) "known issue" ? Great, guess they don't test these products at all. Roll on a Nokia HSDPA device, and I can sell this ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dade Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 No ideas.... Would be interesting to see if anyone with a TyTN has had the problem, or with any newer ROM builds. P My TyTN and M3100 both do it. I'm not sure what causes it. Some days it will work fine all day and another it will turn itself off every 5 mins!

Some days it will work fine all day and another it will turn itself off every 5 mins! FWIW I'm now fed up of my Vario II. TomTom released a firmware update, and that's stopped the bluetooth turning off, and the voice support works, but I cannot get the data support to work (needed for TomTom PLUS services, like traffic news). I need to send the unit back, as the holder for the stylus 'clicked' the other day, and now the stylus is very very loose. I guess some friction clip has died. Not good, especially as this is part of the main plastic body. The phone is less than 4 months old !! Anyone got any experience of any other HSDPA capable unit, e.g. the Samsung that T-mob sell?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 So what you're saying is the BT turning off is a TomTom issue and not a Vario II issue? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jchamier Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) So what you're saying is the BT turning off is a TomTom issue and not a Vario II issue? Can't be 100% sure, as it used to do it with the Jabra headset. Although I use that headset so infrequently now, I've not tested. Perhaps TomTom have fixed something else, who knows. The data thing is the major one though. The traffic news is so very very very very useful, I'd go back to my 6230i and GPRS to use it. Now if T-mob do dual SIMs then I'd get one of those. Time to call tomorrow I guess. (Many Orange customers at work have dual SIM, as older BMWs and Mercs have SIM card slots in the car) J Edited January 6, 2007 by jchamier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevem999 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 On my VarioII it switches off, the blue flashing light goes out and the comm manager button is "off". Me likewise, I usually leave my phone in it's case in the car and just turn on my BT headset (Motorola HS820) and there have been a couple of times when the BT hasn't connected which I've only found out about when I get a call that I can't answer! There doesn't seem to be any pattern either - I'm using a T-Mob Vario II with nothing else installed so doesn't suggest it being a TomTom or 3rd party software issue. Maybe it's the headset but that's pretty vanilla too. I guess I'll have to check my blue light is flashing every time I get in the car! My only suspicion could be to do with power in the battert. I can't recall from previous occasions but I know the last time it happened, the battery was at less than 30% - some internal setting that turns off any sort of wireless connections to save power?
