Bluetooth drops and won't reconnect

Description

I have done several 5 to 10 mile hikes using a bluetooth puck. When I stop at a halfway point and I am not moving, bbtracker drops the bluetooth connection. It will not reconnect no matter what I try, so I have to end the track and start a new one, and then it will connect. This happens every time I stop moving for about ten minutes. I have an 8130 pearl. I use the external puck because it works better than the internal gps. I noticed in other posts that people have had trouble with altitude. The altitude works perfectly with the external puck, but is inconsistent with the internal gps. Maybe you could add total altitude with a note about inconsistent readings with the internal gps. Great program Saua, thank-you. If you need any other information, please let me know.

Thanks for the bug report.

I've not yet heard of this (and haven't experienced it, since I use the interal GPS exclusively). Especially the fact that the disconnect happens when you're standing still is interesting.

bbTracker itself will not willingly disconnect, so there is probably some other problem. Unfortunately the BlackBerry OS 4.2 seems to be pretty unreliable when it comes to establishing and keeping a Bluetooth connection.

I will try to reproduce your problem and look if there is anything I can do about it.
