Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / October 2006Bluetooth on Razr
Does anyone know if there's a way to set the Razr 3M so that the bluetooth automatically powers on when it detects a bluetooth-capable device? I'd like to find a way that I don't have to manually turn on the bluetooth whenever I get into my car. Thanks! Larry E. You have a choice - either leave BT on all the time, or manually switch it on/off. Depending on the car bluetooth setup, it will automatically reconnect if previously paired. I have no problem leaving my BT on all the time. > Does anyone know if there's a way to set the Razr 3M so that the bluetooth > automatically powers on when it detects a bluetooth-capable device?

Ie shorter times because BT is active? >> You have a choice - either leave BT on all the time, or manually switch >> it on/off.

Ie shorter times because BT is active? The manual for the V3m specifically says "to extend battery life set bluetooth power to off when not in use". What I miss is being able to create a shortcut to toggle Bluetooth on/off. I was able to do this on the e815, but you can't do it on the RAZR as far as I can tell.

Seems to me that it allows the down key to be set as your bluetooth on/off key? Still doesn't detect a bluetooth signal automatically.

This is kind of what I wanted to begin with ... although I suspect it means that the bluetooth feature on the phone is on all the time (even though the symbol doesn't appear).

No. It would have to have the bluetooth on to recognize a bluetooth device. >Does anyone know if there's a way to set the Razr 3M so that the >bluetooth automatically powers on when it detects a bluetooth-capable >device?

Think about what you are asking...how can BT detect another device unless it is turned on? Pegleg U.S. Navy Retired Support Our Troops, Question The Policy!

My RAZR broadcasts its BTID for 5 minutes when you turn it on to save power.
