"BlueTooth not found on device"

[sneech]

Trying to pair my BT headset to the omnia but i'm getting the message "BlueTooth not found on device" I get this message when I click on the 3 bars at top of screen in Mobile Shell and select 'bluetooth on'

In the settings --> Connections menu, I can toggle bluetooth on and off but checking/unchecking the box. However, when I have the box checked and press 'add new device' I get "problem with BlueTooth hardware".

Any thoughts before I hard reset?

I tried to search the forum for an answer but couldn't find anything similar. I thought it had to do with the imarche skins. I went through their wireless manager fix but that didn't appear to be the issue. (my registry settings what they said it should be)

thanks

Just taking a stab at it but have you checked under the Settings\Connections\Bluetooth\Mode tab to be sure the "Make this device visible to other devices" is checked?

Yep, both boxes were checked.

Its as if bluetooth was somehow removed from my device

Do you have any/many third party apps loaded? If so there may be a conflict. Try un-installing each added s/w one at a time and follow each uninstall with a soft reset and check if the BT returns. I am sure you have already thought of this and maybe tried it but I haven't run across this error and can not come up with anything other than this or ... hard reset.

Looks like I fixed it. I had an external GPS puck paired. So I deleted it and that fixed the problem.

Now to get my 3 comm lights to work properly. They work in that I can press it to bring up my comm options but they do not light up.
