Unable to start bluetooth stack?

[rorytmeadows]

I guess my bluetooth isn't working anymore. I don't use it, but I tried turning it on and it won't start.

What are you trying to use with BT? If its headset for calls,emails, and texts this is in several threads

No I mean it's not even turning on, looks like it's something with the driver. I go to the comm manager and click the bluetooth switch, it turns gray, then 15 seconds later "Can't turn on Bluetooth" in a popup, in the submenu where it says "Bluetooth must be turned on to use this feature. Turn on Bluetooth" clicking YES gives a "Cannot start the Bluetooth stack."

that is the same message I would get when I used an older version of CleanRAM. A soft reset would fix it until CleanRAM ran again. Updated the the app to the newest beta version and it doesn't happen anymore. (just another thing you can check.)

Ironically, I do use CleanRAM, but upon soft resets, it's still the same. I updated to the new Beta version and it still occurs after soft resets.

If you have Tom Tom installed, you need to delete or rename following files & soft reset,

/Windows/BtCoreIf.dll
/Windows/BtSdkCe30.dll

It's easy to rename or move.

Hope this will solve your problem.

I don't have TomTom, but probably some remnants of Garmin. I'm having trouble deleting/renaming these files. I thought it would be easy, but they are read-only and nothing is allowing me to delete/move them.

My phone does this after running CleanRam sometimes....A soft reset will fix that issue...I still use cleanram but i set it to schedule to softrest my phone every 3 hrs instead of cleaning.

I'm going to try this. I'm assuming that I need to copy the files to somewhere else, make them NOT read-only, then copy them back in order to delete/rename?

Worked like a charm... used Total Commander to execute the file rename, rebooted and the OS recreated the stacks from the ROM
