The big reason for this post is that I have seen contributors that are doing hard-reset after hard-reset and can't get the work around to work for them and stick. I don't think anyone's considered the possibility that Handcent is the problem.

So far, I've been able to toggle (on/off) bluetooth, wifi, and GPS with widgets without issue...so far. Eventually, I'll reload Handcent along with other fun apps one by one and see what happens.

I'll keep updating and if there are others in the same boat, please consider Handcent as culprit and share your experience. Don't get me wrong, I did like Handcent and would prefer it, but not until these issues are resolved. The native SMS is so blah.

How about not installing yet? you can see there's an idle time before it goes hey wire. Once you verify that you have done that do a hard reset then try with handset. hell, I'll hard reset today and try with handset if you want.
