Autoconnecting/disconnecting with bluetooth problem

This feature doesnt work very well on my machine/phone.
Im using Vista on a Aspire and a SE C905.

Seems like it doesnt disconnect and refuses to reconnect. Have to close MPE and start again. Then it works again till i take my phone out of reach again...

Regards

If you are using Bluetooth then MyPhoneExplorer must be minimized or in Traymode to reconnect. This has technical reasons.

If it disconnects it will not reconnect. Ive tried to turn on and off bluetooth on the phone. I also cant get any menu when right xxx the icon in system tray. (Freezes?) The only way to get response is either killing MPE in Task manage or turn on and off bluetooth on the machine...

OK, in this case the Bluetooth-Stack blocks MyPhoneExplorer. To understand why it happens you have to know that MPE tries every 10 seconds to open the virtual COM-Ports. Some BT-Stacks does not reply with an error - instead of this they block the calling application. Basicly there are 2 workarounds:
- you try to update your Bluetooth-Stack. maybe this helps
- you disable the the automatic disconnect/reconnect in MyPhoneExplorer

It have to be in tray to autoreconnect. Just minimizing will not do it.

Anoter thing; it becomes unresponsive if its in tray not connected and if there is a reminder of any kind while unused and unconnected(ie a birthday or a memo)...
Solution ive found is to turn off bluetooth and back on again then it reconnects and shows the reminder...
