How do you turn Bluetooth on with fewer clicks?

[untouchablez]

I use an app called CicleBT. It has a pretty small footprint and I just throw it in my programs tab and I have instant BT on & off.

Or, use SPB Phone Suite and the today plug-in gives you a button.

Or, to make it very easy, use AEButton+ and associate the back-arrow button double click/long click.

A similar way would be to assign that app to the long send key press in the "Buttons" control panel.

One other way would be with a program like AE button plus. You could, for example, set the d-pad button to toggle bluetooth on/off when you press if for a few seconds. AE Button plus has the ability to do this without the need for an additional program to toggle it like I mentioned in the 2 methods above. I personally would prefer this method, but to each their own.

listen to this man and his AE button plus rec. This guy has been promoting that product for ages...and I'm glad he did b/c I can't live without that program now. Good stuff Stroths.

Yes, I highly reccomend this product. It is fast, stable, and feature-rich. Plus, he has been updating the same version for a while, so he is surely not trying to steal the money of his customers, by releasing a new version every other month, and have after 4-6 months an upgrade charge.

No; this is not available unless you have Outlook configured to use an Exchange account- so to answer your question, no this is not possible. However there is plenty of options to getting push email/contacts/tasks/calendar, like SyncML clients (scheduleworld.com), or some actual Exchange-based services, some being free.

This is a great and simple solution. I just put the CircleBT program in my Start Menu and it turns on/off Bluetooth with one click. It's a free application from WinMobileApps and the cab file is available at http://www.winmobileapps.com/downloa...ps_CicleBT.CAB.

I used AEbutton+ to map my round center button to turn on/turn off BT with a double click. I use it a few times daily.

this is the one thing i use AEB Plus for. Got it set for when I hold down the send key to toggle bluetooth. Use it daily.
