Bluetooth problems
(I asked this question in the general forum, only afterwards I noticed that this group was available) Hi, I have an Acer 5920 which includes a Bluetooth adapter. I pair a bluetooth GPS with no problems, and any program can open the port and communicate with the GPS. But if I put the laptop to sleep, when I wake it up the GPS still connects to the laptop, but the port cannot be opened anymore. If I restart Vista, and I pair the GPS again, the port can be opened; sleep again, and the port is dead. I've also tried hooking up a Dell Axim v50 through bluetooth to the laptop and the same happens: after waking up from sleep, the laptop is unable to open the COM port. Anyone knows what this could be about? -- tinchote Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

John;767913 Wrote: Check Device manager-bluetooth devices. One should list Power Management tab. Be sure neither box is checked. You don't want BT to power down Thanks for the suggestion  But it's not that. The device clearlyindicates that it connects every time, so the Bluetooth radio *is* working. It's the port that cannot be opened by the applications (after the first time). -- tinchote Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
