I've just received my new T68i today and tried to
activate the bluetooth menu, for some reason the
"bluetooth" line in the "connect" menu appears in
gray and when trying to enter the bluetooth menu,
I receive an error message "currently unavailable"
couldn't find any solution in the user guide. do you
have any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks |

Where are you from? I heard a similar predicament from a user from israel, where the spectrum for bluetooth is not for public use.

I hadn't heard that, but... you can't solve it!
The government out there controls thue use of that part of the spectrum. |

yes bluetooth is illegal in israel... and therefore the t68 automatically disables that feature if it detects an israeli simcard or network :/

If so, it means that the T68i software
detects an Israeli sim card and disables
all the Bluetooth functions. there must
be some crack to bypass this feature.
Any ideas? |

well, you can try to use a foreign SIM card and use it on roaming in your network. But this might be an expensive alternative. |

That is exactly what I did and the blutooth works fine, but again as you said this is an expensive solution. What I'm trying to figure out is what was the latest SW version without the the bluetooth block feature. |

too bad you didnt see my post before posted yours, look for the "bluetooth disabled by som card" forum, here at Esato, under "tips and tricks" forum here. |

@ SonyBoy
What makes you think it is so bad?
nothing happened, we had a usful
discussion.
what's more important is solving
this problem, do you happen to
know what was the last SW version
prior to the BT blocking.
Is it possible to "downgrade" to
this version? |

downgrading your firmware is not possible |

apparently the solution is to use a foreign sim card, put the bluetooth menu in the shortcuts menu, and access it from there when using the Israeli SIM card...
Tell me if you are successful...

If the shortcut solution does work, I wouldn't bank on it working in future versions of the firmware - that looks like something they would probably "fix" if they noticed it!

I don't think I got it right; if I go to israel I can use bluetooth with my sim card but a guy from israel can't use bluetooth anywhere in the world with his/her sim card ? It doesn't make any sense!
