Blue Fang is a utility that simplifies the management of your handheld's Bluetooth radio, making it is easy to keep Bluetooth off when you don't need it, and on when you do. As well as being a more convenient way of controlling Bluetooth, this helps to reduce the drain on your battery. Features include:
Displaying the current state of the Bluetooth radio in the command bar. This is useful for handhelds like the Tungsten T and T2 that don't provide any indication of whether the Bluetooth radio is on or not.
Manual control of the Bluetooth radio via the command bar.
Automatic control of the Bluetooth radio according to rules you define.
Blue Fang is compatible with handhelds that run Palm OS 5 and use Palm's Bluetooth stack, except the Sony TH55 and the Treo 650.
Blue Fang is available in English, French, Russian, and German.
Updated Description:
The only change for v1.7 is to disable Blue Fang on the Treo 650. There is a compatibility problem with Blue Fang and the phone application which can cause incoming phone calls not to ring.
