Phone turns Bluetooth off right before battery dies

heh, I won't even talk to my x-wife like that

Going the other direction - are you sure it's because she's not charging it? My TP occasionally turns BT off all by itself, as has every other WinMo phone I have ever used. (and I always keep my TP charged, so I know it's not that!). Just yesterday I was walking, got a couple of SMS announcements over the Jawbone. Then a few minutes later I thought I'd felt a vibration in my pocket while talking to a neighbor, and sure enough I had a missed call. I wondered why I didn't hear the CID in my headset - lo and behold, the dang thing had turned BT off by itself. (Stock ROM, hard reset this past weekend).

So maybe you can blame the phone. This is one of the main reasons I've never tried to get my wife to use a WinMo phone; they are just not reliable enough for those who would actually rather not dig into start - settings - connections - bluetooth - mode - ON. What a freaking joke.

Do what I did & use AEButton+ to turn on/off BT.

I have it set to turn on BT with a double click of the "red phone button". Works perfectly.

Bunch of lames that are whipped by there wife. Just tell her to charge her phone. Its as simple as that. People want apps for stuff that can be easily avoided. What app do you want next?

If you can't turn BT on yourself, then you're just flat out lazy.

Exactly. Why does she have a PDA phone if thats to much for her. Get her a flip phone and not a TP. Got forbid she needs to make a call with the TP.

Easiest way... use the bluetooth toggle program--exe, make a shortcut for it and put the shortcut in your start menu folder in your windows directory... now you can set it as a item in the drop down start menu or assign it to a home screen soft key (which is what I have done because I like to keep bt off when I'm not using it for syncing or driving). Quick and simple.

Not at all. I would not do that as well but i would talk to her about charging her phone. They say they know what battles to fight well this is not a big one and should at least try. Its not hard to charge a phone and its just lazy not to. Then you complain when you need it most.

How bout a daily calendar appt. to remind her to turn BT back on.
