Disappearing Network Applet With Bluetooth/cacko, Disappearing network applet Options

[mulveyr]

Hi All:

I'm running an SL-C3000, with Cacko 1.23 beta 1. I just purchased a Socket Rev H bluetooth card. and used the Network app to set it up. Everything works fine - I paired with the phone, can connect via DUN, etc with my V710 phone on Verizon.

The strange part is after a resume/suspend cycle. Once I resume, the Network applet no longer appears at the bottom. Even if I remove/insert the bluetooth card, it doesn't come back - in fact, sometimes when I do that, I get a popup message that the card is "Anonymous Memory". Removing and reinserting again eventually gives me the correct message.

After the card is recognized again, I can run the Network application from the Settings tab, and it works fine - until the next time I suspend, when the applet disappears once more.

Any ideas as to what I should look at, to ensure the applet stays available, and to make sure that the bluetooth card continues to be accessible?

Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge, this is a known issue and is on the buglist for Cacko 1.23 Beta 1. I have the same configuration as you with the Socket Rev. H bluetooth card and have the same problem. Hopefully, this will be fixed by iamasmith or maslovsky.

BTW, I have the V710 as well - check out the Motorola E815 on phonescoop. It's similar to the V710 but uses EVDO. It will be shipping in the next month or two.

Believe it or not, it was not too long ago that it was not possible to get that card reliably working on any of the clamshell models. Be thankful for what you have!

Thanks for the response - I did some more looking around, and found a number of other complaints about the suspend/resume behavior for serial bluetooth cards, as well, in other ROMs, too.

The E815 is certainly tempting, but I expect it will be extremely pricey when it comes out. The V710, on the other hand, is essentially "free" with the NE2 program now. By the time I get my next NE2 phone, perhaps we'll even have EV-DO where I live. ;-)

Also - an additional problem I just discovered - after removing the bluetooth card, and reinserting my Ambicom WiFi card, the AmbiCom card is identified correctly when I do a 'cardctl ident', but I can't use the network app to connect - the "Connect" button is disabled, even after multiple ejects/inserts. I ended up having to reboot to be able to use WiFi again.
