is there a possible shortcut in activating bluetooth in the t68? I think it's quite laborious and boring always having to go through the menu -hconnections-bluetooth -settings-etc?can it be done with a simple key for instance ?
Thx! |

I know what you mean as I've only recently got hold of a bluetooth dongle to connect up my t68i to my Sony Vaio GR notebook.
I've added it to my shortcut menu so all I have to do is...
Left on joystick...
Press Yes button...
Press 5...
Press 4...
Press 1...
and then scroll either up or down to put it on either Automatic or off.
It's a little bit quick than going through the desktop icons. |

You can opt to leave  turned on all the time, or like 2tangy mentioned, add it to the shortcut menu.
In my case, I added it to the shortcut menu instead of leaving it on all day to conserve battery life. Now, if i need to connect via all i need are 4 key presses:
1. press joystick.
2. press 9 (for shortcut menu)
3. press 4 (for bluetooth menu. You can choose from 0 to 9)
4. press 1 (set bluetooth on discovery mode for 10 minutes) |

I thought bluetooth discovery was only available for 3mins at a time? (T68i)
Or are you using a different phone GoWin? |

If you want to simply activate your BT, you can do it in just 2 moves: 1. In standby mode, press the INFO KEY which is directly below the yes button, 2. Then choose RECEIVE ITEM!
....you have to set the BT mode to automatic!

@tangy, oops! You're right, It's only 3 minutes, the 10-minute time is for IR.

i don't suppose there is a shortcut to turn it off?!?
i assume leaving bluetooth on drains the battery faster.

If you just leave it on automatic the bluetooth will turn itself off when it doesnt get used for a short period of time. Obviously it does drain the battery faster he you leave it permanently on.
