Windows phone 8/Ativ S bluetooth issue.

[WPCentral Question]

Hi all

Not sure if this is a feature or a problem on my phone (Winphone 8.0 on ATIV S:

When I turn on bluetooth I have no problem connecting to devices, despite this initially having been problematic after applying the most recent updates.

However, if bluetooth is turned on, but I switch off my phone, then when I turn it on again bluetooth is turned off. This means everytime I want to use my phone in the car, I have to remember to turn bluetooth back on again. It's a pain to get a call when you're driving and to realise you didn't turn bluetooth back on.

Is this the way Winphone 8.0 is designed, or is it a fault?

Thanks

I think it may be a fault, I dont think I've seen that activity ever.

I'm not sure how to deal with it, so cookie-cutter troubleshooting, go! Try a soft-reset first - press and hold power + volume down until the phone restarts.
