Question Did I disable Blue Tooth??

I was dusting and cleaning the wood and watnot,,after a while I noticed the HTC Tbolt phone wasnt connecting like it normally does automatically,,and the selector knob f/o the armrest doesnt scroll like it did before,,did I mess something up? Is there a way to make sure the BT function is activated to recognize my phone? Its been fine since Halloween when I bought it.

I've noticed the same thing happening with my Samsung Droid Charge.For a while it was connecting normally but recently it hasn't been.However,a change was recently made to my phone and I wonder if that might be the cause.

Based on your quote ",,and the selector knob f/o the armrest doesnt scroll like it did before,," are you sure you did not use some liquid cleaners and possibly get it in the electronics f/o the arm rest?

Ok...no I was simply dusting with a microfiber cloth...no liquid used..However I solved the phone issue by re selecting my phone thru the Comands phone menu and all is well with that...But the selector button is not scrolling like before.....I have to push it up,down,left or right for selections...a pain.

I read somewhere that a recent droid update is causing similar bluetooth issues with other vehicles. If I remember correctly, it has something to do with the Droid's power saving features (sleep mode?). Not sure if this will help anyone experiencing the problem.

Thanks PA,,,,To tell you the truth,,it may except,,2 days prior I went to the dealer to have Mbrace activated,,the phone worked for 24 hrs after the visit.At that point my HTC upgraded firmware,,,maybe the "techs" who activated the mbrace fudged up the Comand giggy.I mean it wasnt fatal anyhow and the phone is connecting and working fine after I did an easy re-check in the Comand/Phone functions.

As for the selector knob on the console,,this is still not scrolling and its bugging me.
