I hotsync my T5 to two different computers using BlueTooth. I don't have BT on most of the time, so when I sync, it asks me if I want to turn it on. When I'm done I don't need BT on anymore, but it stays on unless I turn it off. Is there are way to turn it off after I sync? Most likely not, but I thought I would ask.


:D

Yup there is a program that does that, it is called BtToggle Pro 2.4 and you can purchase it at PalmGear. It does exactly what you say. I pretty much keep BT on unless I am in a place where i know I will not be connecting to my phone or laptop, but other than that, this would be a great option for myself as well.

I use BT Toggle Pro and it is genius. I'd point out that my T616 does it automatically, turning on BT when I need it to send a picture or file. With BTToggle, the pda thinks the bluetooth is on even though it is off (so apps needing it don't freak) and it also manages its activation/deactivation for you. It saves battery power greatly and adds a bluetooth off/on toggle button to your command bar. One of the first apps I bought for my T3.

Does BT Toggle Pro work on a T5?

BlueFang seems nice. As long as it plays nicely with my T5, I can see using it. Heck, if it didnt have that issue with VersaMail's auto get mail feature, I might even like it more. Its definitely worth a download. Thanks Snark.
