I installed the drivers according to Eugenia's recommendations. BT works ok, except for one annoying thing. If I start BT service, pair with with a BT GPS, run Mapopolis and subsequently power off my Axim, then I can not power on the Axim unless/until I do soft reset.

Perhaps, it somehow related to excessive power drain, or a luck of some resources. Any ideas?

I also noticed that if I power off Axim which only runs BT and no Mapopolis, then it [B]can[/B] be subsequently powered on, but it starts in a strange [B]dimmed[/B] mode. So that I have to go to the system settings to restore the brightness. I have never experienced such a change of brightness before.

I need to say that all the time Axim is connected to power supply and the battery (although very old) appears to be fully charged. Could it be the old battery, which just can not supply enough pick power in the tuning on time?

[B]NOTE: By "powering off/on" I mean pressing the "Power" button[/B].

Thanks.

[B]UPDATE:[/B]

I noticed that if I stop BT connection (in my case, with BT GPS), I can avoid the issue. That is every time I am going to power off the Axim, I have to first make sure that there is no active BT connection. If I forget to stop BT, then after powering off, the Axim will not power on unless/until I do soft reset. Is it normal ?
