Rooting the phone can't be the reason. I rooted my friends phone and his bluetooth works fine. I think it may have something to do with an interfering ap though. I read in another forum that some think their issue has something to do with the bank of america ap. This is a 3 day weekend for me and I hope to try and research this further. I wonder if I tried to send his bluetooth apk files and/or odex files to my phone and replaced mine with his might work. When I read what others have written about "deleting lines" and adding permissions here or there are so on, what they llreferring to? Are they using a file explorer, or are they in the command prompt and making the changes there? I am really in educated about tinkering with phones, but am learning alot. On a side note, my phone will no longer boot into recovery... nice, huh?
