Hardware Unlock - Bluetooth NOT Working

[shiruteam]

Just did a Full GEO Hot hardware unlock which works great....besides my Bluetooth.

When turning on it hangs with a spinning wheel.
I tried to put the phone in Flight Mode and then to Enable Bluetooth and still NOTHING...

Any Ideas?

[Dragg1e]

I just tested mine and its working perfect

im having he same issue, just got the hardware unlock done and now i have no bluetooth. Any ideas anyone?

[vpr]

No ideas I'm afraid... no ... wait.... there's one! The SEARCH button! :eek:

[gtschance]

Did you remember to delete (or rename) the termcap file and then reboot?

[DMannOC]

yeah i did search to find the problem, how hard is it going to be to go delete that file. i didnt do the unlock on my phone so i dont know how much would be involved in fixng this issue

[afornebo]

I have the same problem. where should the tremcap file be? just in /etc/termcap?

i dont have the file there. And i did software unlock.

[mcraiem]

Excelent, Thats Works Great!!

[humblehyper]

I can't find termcap either in my etc folder, is there a way to search the file uisng ibrickr? maybe it's located somewhere else. Thanks

[david51572]

[dhayek]

i made th airline mode trick and its wrking perfect

[madehtsobi]

Yeh Ive Tried Locating The Termcap File But No Luck Either

I Also Tried Turning On Airplane Mode And When I Try To Turn On Bluetooth It Says Ihave To Turn Airplane Mode Off

What To Do!??!

[ecaramaschi]

Airplane trick worked for me either. On (airplane mode). Go to bluetooth, ask to enable bluetooth. Bluetooth come to live again! Good tip!

[juco]

Has anyone found a solution if the airplane trick doesn't work and the /etc/termcap file does not exist?

[reserves]

I don't have the tempcap folder/file and i've tried the airplane trick too, doesn't work.

I have 2 iphones, it's the same on both, didn't work out straight out the box either!

[reserves]

Just restored, jailbreaked, activated.

Bluetooth - nothing

Then tried Airplane fix - nothing.

Used windows, iBrickr and anySIM method to unlock. (however bluetooth never worked out the box)


Help!

[reserves]

Relocked iPhone, restored.

Bluetooth stil just hangs!

Anyone got any ideas?

[reserves]

Talking to myself here but...


It seems like iPhone bluetooth does NOT connect to anything other than bluetooth headsets?

Therefore my bluetooth is working but can't find anything.

Can someone please confirm or deny this, should my computer see my iPhone via bluetooth?

That is correct. Headsets only.

I have paired my unlocked phone to my audi handsfree car kit....

Lovely

But I also have a jabra headset and a bluphones wireless headset for bluetooth

These 2 devices don't show up....

Is this right, surely headsets should work.

Also how come you can't turn the bluetooth into on and not just discoverable all the time.
When you go into the bluetooth menu you can't change the phones bluetooth name or anything. It looks like the phone is always looking for devices as well.

Surely this is right ????
