BtToggle Professional - Do you know that leaving your Palm's Bluetooth radio on can cut your battery life in half? Tired of finding "Prefs" in the launcher, then "Bluetooth" just to turn your Bluetooth radio off? Tired of those "Timeout: Serial Error" and "Unable to connect to phone" messages? Ever found that your Palm turns itself on while in your pocket and corrupts your data and wastes valuable battery life? BtToggle is the answer!
BtToggle Pro gives you complete control over your Bluetooth radio, enabling you to keep it off until you really need it, and turning it off again the moment you don't. You are also able to turn Bluetooth on and off manually with a simple press of a button. Command bar support has been added, so you can quickly see the radio status and toggle it if necessary.
BtToggle Pro's ability to prevent accidental button presses from turning your handheld on remains unchanged, and is as excellent as ever.
The power savings brought about by BtToggle Pro's ability to prevent your handheld from turning on accidentally, and from controlling your Bluetooth radio make BtToggle a must-have application for your handheld. BtToggle Pro works on any Palm OS 5 handheld, like the Palm Tungsten T, T2, T3, T5, TE2, Zire 72, Sony NX60, NX70, NZ90, TG50, UX40, UX50 and TH55.
Improvements from BtToggle Classic 1.8:
Ability to turn Bluetooth on for applications on external media, like SD cards and MemoryStick
Keeps Bluetooth off until actually used by the application. No more "Turning Bluetooth On" message as soon as you launch the application!
Ability to maintain or tear down network connections when switching applications
No need to specify your Bluetooth applications anymore. BtToggle Pro detects which ones need Bluetooth automatically
Bluetooth radio status has been added to the command bar
Better support for more Palm OS devices
Bug fixes and optimizations to make BtToggle Pro less intrusive and more responsive
BtToggle Pro uses intelliBT technology. With BtToggle Pro on your handheld, your Bluetooth radio stays off as much as possible. IntelliBT closely monitors application's demands for the Bluetooth radio and intelligently turns it on and off. To avoid the "Error: Serial Timeout", "Unable to connect to phone" and "Bluetooth is currently disabled" messages, BtToggle Pro fools applications into thinking that Bluetooth is on, when it is actually off.
IntelliBT continuously monitors application's use of the Bluetooth radio. If it detects that the radio is on and not being used, it turns it off again. However, to prevent undesired "Serial Timeout" or "Unable to connect to phone" messages, it sets a system global variable to indicate that the radio is ON, even though it is actually OFF. This fools most applications, including the Bluetooth Preference panel and Bluetooth indicator on the Tungsten T3. These applications merely check the system global variable and decide that the radio is on. If they actually communicated with the radio they would find that it was off! Doing this prevents the above-mentioned messages from appearing; the radio is automatically turned on when the application wants to use it. On Sony devices, the blue LED gives the real radio status.
Very aggressively keeps the Bluetooth radio off until it is actually needed. Even "fools" applications (even the Bluetooth Preferences panel) into thinking the radio is ON when it is actually OFF.
Support for applications in main memory and external media, like SD cards and MemoryStick.
Bluetooth is turned on and off for any application, no matter where it resides or how many there are.
Works on any handheld running Palm OS 5.
BtToggle Pro's excellent ability to prevent accidental button presses from powering on your handheld is the same as BtToggle Classic.
BtToggle Pro offers many ways to manually turn the Bluetooth radio on and off, and adds support for the command bar. If this is enabled an icon is added to the command bar showing the current radio status. Tapping this icon will toggle the radio status.
